The Blair Witch Project (1999)
The Blair Witch Project, as I remember when it first came out, all those many, many years ago when I was a Sophomore at BSU, was an endlessly-hyped "event" film allegedly based around the "found footage" of three disappeared college film students, Heather Donohue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael C. Williams--all of whom are still alive and well, and all of whom essentially play themselves in the picture.

Halloween Visit
"Come on, Dad, let's go!" Lily stomped a slipper-clad foot on the sidewalk as she looked back at her father. She was ready to go trick or treating, and it seemed that nothing but Josh could keep her from her sweet treats. He was sitting on the front steps of his childhood home, a well-loved cul-da-sac teaming with costumed children. The moon hung overhead, a ghostly sickle that presided over this Halloween night. The children laughed and screamed as they stalked by, the street a sea of superheroes, video game characters, colorful animals, and everything in between.

A New, Old Terror
This is a dead horse trope that, true to its nature, refuses to stay in the grave. From vampire, jiangshi, and xidachane, the walking corpse has collected many names from many cultures. Renowned horror authors such as Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, Ambrose Bierce, and H.P. Lovecraft have all been instrumental in influencing the exploration of the horrors of not only death but what lies beyond it.

The mistress of the cursed apartment
The word "mysticism" came to us from Antiquity. Then it meant "a secret that is hidden from everyone. " Today, mystical knowledge is no secret to anyone and people are immersed in it with their heads. And only one thing still remains unknown: what awaits the daredevil beyond the dark threshold of the other world.

Appalachian Grandpa The Bone Collector Prologue
"I almost expected I would see him again tonight." I looked at Grandpa, Glimmer's hand very warm in mine, as we walked back to the house. Grandpa had noticed, but if he felt anything about it, he didn't voice it. Glimmer, for her part, had explained that she simply didn't want me getting lost, so she thought she might help me get home.
