A Monster
"Daddy, look at the piture I drew." I put on my best "appraising my son's artwork" face and looked down at the picture he had drawn. I recoiled a little when I saw it, not really sure what to make of it. It was a baby head, like a baby doll, but there was no body was attached to it. The hair was gone, nothing but dots on the scalp, and the eyes were missing and staring openly. A big silver loop like a smile ran through the head, and the bottom was covered with little metal legs like spider legs. I looked at it for a minute, wondering what this horrible thing was, but suddenly it came to me, and I felt silly for being anxious.

A Relic from Madness
I had arrived home around 11:00pm exhausted from the days labor. 14 hours of work have been a constant schedule these past few weeks for a data technician. I was exhausted, but not unhappily, for I do enjoy my work. It was too late to make a meal so I grabbed some bread with a jar of jam and began to heat up tea. I briefly walked in my room and changed into some more comfortable clothes. It was not soon after that I heard a sound that reminded me of chains clashing together. I thought at first that the noise was something else all together, but then I heard it again- this time distinctively. It sounded to be coming from my room.

Cabinet Of Curiosities - Series Review
Guillermo del Toro has done it again! The talented film director of Pan's Labyrinth, Pacific Rim, Pinocchio (2022) and many others, has given us another horrifying masterpiece. Spanning over 8 unique tales, all of which have morals and imaginative monsters, that will haunt you forever! Although I recommend watching these episodes in chronological order (even though I didn't), because the series ends with a very tragic story, which I wish I saved until the end. Each episode is a completely different horror tale however, so you can still skip around if you like and it wouldn't ruin the continuity of other episodes. Guillermo has a very unique style, everything feels like a dark fairy tale, from the oak furnished environments to the dated wardrobe the characters are often dressed in. Visually; Cabinet of Curiosities has a very old fashioned presentation, which seems to make the stories feel more grand and legendary, making the monsters involved feel more like cruel, ancient Lovecraftian Gods, rather than typical horror movie demons. Not one episode of this show is bad, every story has a unique twist or set up, no two tales ever feel the same.

The Abandoned Haunted Mansion
The night was dark and stormy as I made my way up the creaky old stairs to the dilapidated mansion on the hill. I had been hired by the wealthy Mr. Harrison to investigate strange occurrences at the mansion, which had been abandoned for years.

HAT MAN
The Top Hat Demon as he was called in the 18th century where its origins began. A demon I whispered to myself, not to alarm my kid sister who was siting next to me. Reading story after story of many people around the world who had seen this Hat Man as children made me stop for a minute to gather my thoughts. Walking to the kitchen window retracting the curtain I starred at the dark street with limited light upon it from an old light pole. Sighing, and realizing, I also saw the Hat Man.
