"We, Mysterious initiates. Perpetual night, obliterates". Embraced red and the hour was long. An ancient song. No offering but a mad-horse dragging them along.

Echoes of the Overlook: Why ‘The Shining’ Still Endures
They say a film can take a toll on an actor, but perhaps nowhere is that more evident than in the anguished screams of Wendy Torrance in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Played by Shelley Duvall, her role pushed her to psychological lows that can be viscerally felt by the viewer. Both Jack Nicholson and Danny Lloyd, too, carry the film with their unsettling performances. The entire cast and ambiance of the film impart a palpable weight.

Put into a large kettle with two quarts of fetid rainwater and heat while intoning the words: 'Filtum, rexquiet, patter, mordon, crexiphene, noxnos, carn.' Sarah Fellows curtsied to the coven and folded her hands. "Attack of Mucus."

Drowning Without Water
The app goads her. Profile after profile of average men. With each one Erin dismisses, another one appears. It’s hard to believe there are so many single men nearby. And even more incredible that they are all on Fyndr.

Legends from "The Book of Halloween"
The Book of Halloween is an obscure little tome from 1919 or thereabouts, full of the legendry and lore of Hell's Christmas (to use a term I invented). Within it, we're greeted with the strange customs and creepy lore of this twisted season of terror. As an example, in Scotland, it is said the "Samhanach," a goblin, goes about on November Eve, stealing babies from their cribs. Perhaps he blows the icy breath of Hades upon their pudgy, unsuspecting faces. But, off with them he flies, gliding into the night, presumably, like Krampus, in a sack slung over his shoulder. And whence goeth he? No one has ever found out. (At least, none who lived.)
