The Hiker's Tale
A Hiker's Tale - A Horror Story Preview Into the sequel of 'The Devil's Tales' Sequel coming out in 2023. It was supposed to be a chance to find myself, I’m not sure where it went wrong. Perhaps, if I had just stayed in bed that morning I wouldn’t be here, I just needed to escape reality. My therapist said “How do you know, unless you try?” and with that the plan was to break out of my comfort zone and try something new. I was scrolling through social media online and came across a picture, it showed rolling mountains engulfed by trees and a sunset that spoke a thousand words. This was it, something that would get me out of my comfort zone. Good idea, right? The scenery was even better than the pictures, it felt almost too good to be true. I had everything I needed, according to youtube's search results for hiking and survival gear, at least I hoped so anyways. I was halfway through the first branch of the trail I was following for my hike, my legs felt like jello, I was sweating out more than what I was drinking, and was really regretting leaving the comforts of my air conditioning. How did I ever believe I could pull this off? I slumped myself against a tree and looked up through the dancing leaves on the branches. Did I even tell anyone I was coming here? I pulled out my phone and squinted my brows at the zero signal. Looks like I’m not the one to assign to planning anything out, I can’t even plan out a hike at this rate. If I turn back now, I’m just proving I can’t change. I sucked up my sorrow and kept going. I had arrived at the site early in the morning, which should have given me plenty of time to make it to a clearing at the end of the first branch to camp out. It felt like only a few hours had passed, yet why was it getting dark already? I could see a light flicker at what looked about half a mile out through some trees off trail, according to the map I studied I should still have another three to four hours of hiking before the clearing. At the rate things are going though, it’d be pitch black by the time I got there. Against my better judgment, I crossed my fingers hoping perhaps it was a ranger building, or other hikers and went for it. The forest seemed to grow thicker the more I walked off trail, and the sunlight seemed to be rapidly fading away from me. This is it isn’t it? I’ll be one of those girls on a missing persons poster, well thats if anyone would even care to look for me. I could see the flickering light fairly close now. It was a small house, with no roads to or from. I didn’t see it listed anywhere on the map, so to say the least I was baffled.‘Knock-knock’, I tapped my fist on the wooden door only for there to be no answer. I stood in place for a moment, wondering if I had made a mistake. To my surprise the door slowly creaked open, but no one was there. I stepped inside, “Hello, is anyone there?”. Nothing. I looked about and saw a lit fire, it crackled away heating the room, in front of it was a rocking chair, and a worn down sofa. The walls were grasped by vines and ivy, as if the house had became part of the forest. I was tired, and the darkness had swept over the forest outside. I walked over and sat down on the couch, I pulled my survival knife out from my hiking bag and clutched it in my hand. Better safe than sorry. It felt like the most comforting thing in the world for some reason. I tried to keep my eyes open as I gazed at the fireplace, worried that the owner would swoop in at any moment, to find me a stranger in their home. Before I knew it, I was swept away into the most peaceful sleep. It felt like I had slept for days when I felt a nudge. “Hello, what are you doing here?”, a man stood leaned over and looked down at me with puzzled eyes. This is my chance. I swung my arm up and hit into the side of his neck as hard as I could with my knife. According to amazon reviews it is one of the sharpest knives you can get. He gargled, clawed his hands at the area I stabbed, as if it could save him. His eyes watered with a pleading look. I knew I could change.

Scream VI - Movie Review
Scream returns again, with familiar legacy characters and in New York too (just like Jason!). However, I feel like this new setting is rather underutilized though, we only get three scenes where New York is used to give us something new/special: The characters living in an apartment building rather than a house, comes into play in a very tense scene where Ghost Face sneaks inside without their knowledge. The neighbour across the street can see the killer stalking around, he tries to desperately get their attention, but the buildings separating them is too difficult for him to get any reaction! This is followed by a very tense scene, the neighbour throws a ladder across his window to their building, with a 50 foot drop between them! It leads into a rather gruesome death where one of the characters falls to the ground, after Ghost Face shakes her off the ladder. Another scene is used at the beginning of this movie, a character wanders down a very spooky alleyway. The New York setting gives this area an overwhelming sense of dread, making us feel tiny against the giant skyscrapers between our poor victim. She gets jumped and killed by Ghost Face, in a rather chilling jumpscare, that ends in a horrific slaying! The last scene is the best and it is in all of the trailers; Ghost Face shows up inside a subway train! This is a lovely nod to Jason Takes Manhattan (which is shown in the movie on a TV, just to confirm this reference); where our killer stalks our protagonists in the train, when the lights start flickering and Ghost Face sneaks up closer and closer, I was honestly sitting on the edge of my seat. These three scenes were a great change to the formula, giving us a new and exciting setting. Unfortunately the rest of the film could've been filmed literally anywhere else, as most of the scenes in this entry look no different than any other Scream movie in my opinion.

LUCY STIRRED. She shot upright to the drum of her own heart beating, which coincided with a peal of thunder. After a few deep breaths, she sat wide awake, recovering from what could only have been, a terrifying dream. She reached for the torch, and swiched it on. A beam of cool white light shone all around her, and filled the chilly tent.

Doctor Winters Forgetfulness Clinic-My Uncle Trapped a Demon
"Mr. Pate, how are you today?" The man sitting across from her looked like he was doing quite poorly. Calling him a man might have been generous, Dr. Winter saw. He was a large teen, probably still in high school, but his face bore the look worn by inmates on death row. Though filled with melancholy, he had none of the trappings that usually accompanied children in their late teens. His arms bore none of the self-harm scars Winter usually found. He wasn't festooned in dark colors or piercings, and even his haircut was unassuming.

Jackpot
Jack walked up to the cash register, sliding a sixer of PBR across the counter while simultaneously removing his wallet from the back pocket of his Wrangler jeans. He would pay for the beers with his credit card, but he needed cash for the lottery tickets—the Kentucky lottery hadn’t yet learned how to accept card payment, apparently.
