The History of Halloween and Its Global Influence Halloween, celebrated on October 31, has a history that spans over 2,000 years, evolving from ancient pagan rituals to one of the most globally recognized holidays. Its roots lie in the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the onset of winter, a time the Celts associated with death. Over the centuries, Halloween has transformed from a deeply spiritual and communal festival into a heavily commercialized event that influences culture, economics, and societal norms worldwide.

Do Not Open the Door
Do Not Open the Door The wind howled through the cracks in the old wooden cabin, its mournful cry echoing off the desolate mountains. It was a stormy night, the kind where even the bravest of souls would rather stay inside, far away from the dangers lurking in the dark wilderness. Yet here I was, alone in my grandfather's secluded cabin, miles from the nearest town, with nothing but the faint glow of a dying fireplace for company.

Smile 2 Review: A Bigger, Bloodier, and More Intense Sequel
'Smile 2' brings back the eerie and unsettling world established by its predecessor, 'Smile' (2022), but this time with a twist. Instead of focusing on an ordinary character, the movie shifts its attention to a pop sensation, Skye Riley, portrayed by Naomi Scott. The film explores not only the horror of a terrifying curse but also the emotional and mental toll fame can have on a person already struggling with trauma and addiction.

There was only one rule: don't open the door... Rules were nothing but laughable annoyances...to them. I wasn't expecting a migraine that evening; they rarely happen twice in a month. Through repetition, I learned to act my way around them. No one needed to know my peculiar issues. No one...

One Rule
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. Not many people could comprehend that kind of self-imposed restriction, the kind that gnaws at the edges of your sanity, taunting and teasing. The kind that turns the mundane into the macabre. But Sarah did. It was her life, her existence - and she'd grown accustomed to it. Every day was a repetition of the one before, like an old vinyl stuck on repeat. She'd start with tea and sipped slowly as her trembling hands steadied. The routine was always the same. Cook breakfast, clean the dishes, read a book, perhaps sketch the serene wilderness that stretched beyond their small world. And then, as the sun began its descent, Sarah would sit and stare at the basement door. A simple wooden door – nothing out of the ordinary. But wasn't it extraordinary how a simple thing could turn into an obsession? How it could fill her with such dread and curiosity? No one didn't understand, they only saw it as a door – a door leading to a cellar that was locked for good reason. "It's unstable down there," They'd warn her, "The ground is treacherous. It’s damp and moldy." She tried to listen to them, tried to convince herself that a door was just a door, yet every day the whispers grew louder, more insistent. They crawled up from underneath the floorboards, ghostly tendrils of words seeping through the cracks, only to vanish when she tried to decipher them. "Sarah," they'd hiss, their voices as cold as the ground outside, weaving an eerie lullaby that only she could hear. The whisper was a tantalizing puzzle that teased her mind, feeding on her intrigue and anxiety alike. Something was calling her from beneath that door, something that wanted to be found. Each night those whispers slipped into her dreams, transforming them into twisted nightmares of shadowy figures and ominous warnings. By morning her fear would fade to curiosity and then to frustration.

The Only Rule
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. The earthly angel stared at the knob. The words echoed repeatedly in her mind. She didn’t understand why she was told this. She could hear the charming masculine voice on the other side tempting her, coaxing her to open it. All the answers to all her questions were well within her reach. All her mistakes could be undone if she simply answered the knock. The rhythm matched that of a heartbeat. A very steady and persistent beating in her eardrum.
