The Haunting of Chandramukhi Mansion. Content Warning.
Once upon a chilling October night, in a remote village nestled deep within the dense forests of India, stood the ominous Chandramukhi Mansion. This decrepit structure had long been abandoned by the villagers, who believed it to be cursed.

Video Dud
Should have been called the Straight to Video Dead. The Video Dead is a rank little movie from my old stomping grounds of 1987 or thereabouts, a time that may have been just as senseless as our own but one in which women undoubtedly had better hair and makeup. It concerns a possessed TV that gets dumped off on a writer (Michael St. Michaels, a double whammy of a name you have to love), who gets butchered and dies with a cigarette hanging from his mouth. Like a lot of guys.

The Coven's Unseen Bond
Title: "The Coven's Unseen Bond" Spell: Serpentis spiralis, umbra in tenebris. In the heart of the mystical Blackwood Forest, a coven of witches gathered beneath a moonlit canopy of ancient oaks. They stood in a circle, their cloaks fluttering in the cool night breeze, and their eyes gleaming with an otherworldly light. At the center of their circle, a cauldron simmered, casting eerie shadows that danced on the forest floor. The coven's leader, Lady Seraphina, raised her gnarled staff and chanted the incantation that would bind them together in a web of magic.

Friday the Thirteenth: The Series
"Friday the Thirteenth: The Series" (which has no relation to the film series of Friday the Thirteenth) was a horror series of the late Eighties, a time when there was a veritable glut of genre television programs, mostly anthology shows such as "Tales from the Darkside," "Tales from the Crypt," "Amazing Stories," and the revived "Twilight Zone." "Freddy's Nightmares" was essentially an anthology series, but each episode was connected by the presence of the wisecracking, razor-tipped glove-wearing mad slasher of dreamland. "Werewolf" was one of the best of them, but suffered from the same fate as the Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno starring series of "The Incredible Hulk": there are only so many plots you can place the shape-shifting drifter into while assuring at least ONE transformation into a monster before the credits roll (i.e. it all gets a bit redundant). Rounding all of this out was the short-lived pseudo-comic show "Monsters," which was obligated to feature a new creature every episode, and a television adaptation of "The War of the Worlds." It tanked early, as did "Max Headroom," and a series spin-off of the mega-hit TV movie "V" and its sequel "V: The Final Battle."

The Murmuring Shadows of Ravenwood Estate
The breeze yelled through the transcending trees of Ravenwood Woods, conveying with it a creepy feeling of premonition. At its heart lay Ravenwood Estate, an impressive design that had represented hundreds of years, tormented by the recollections of long-failed to remember terrors. Few thoughts for even a moment to wander close, however five companions looking for experience and a rush past the normal were not effectively prevented.
