vintage
Special effects may be lacking, but vintage horror films still manage to keep our palms sweating and blood pumping; a look back at retro horror films, stories, books and characters that prove everything is scarier in black and white.
The Whispering Shadows
Mira had always dreamed of living in a quiet countryside home, away from the chaos of the city. When she found an old Victorian house for sale at an unbelievably low price, she couldn't resist. The house was beautiful, though slightly worn with age. The previous owner had left suddenly, and no one in the town wanted to buy it. Mira didn’t believe in superstitions, so she dismissed the eerie warnings from the locals.

The Vanishing Passenger
