Strange Places
The television always turned on by itself every day at ten o’clock at night. Right when Billy grew sleepy, right when his parents would be in the other room discussing their day.

About five years ago I lived downtown in a major city in the US. I’ve always been a night person, so I would often find myself bored after my roommate, who was decidedly not a night person, went to sleep. To pass the time, I used to go for long walks and spend the time thinking.

Over the years, people have called me a lot of things due to my love for the horror genre. I've been called crazy, sick, sadistic, or whacky for my love of all things gore, but I just can't help myself. I have my small circle of fellow horror fans, but the general consensus among true horror geeks is that the genre is still a bit underrated and often abused.

The street bustled with activity as I pushed passed the crowds and found my way to the metro station. Hopping on a train, I sat in a seat quietly for several minutes before exiting the automatic doors and climbing the stairs to the street. My coat billowed in the wind of a deserted path as I walked off toward Breyer Street, just three blocks over to the left, and then eight more up. I'd cased every bar from one end of the city to the other, eavesdropping, listening to gossip, asking questions. A good six out of ten had at least some comment to make about Breyer Street. Though the information within the area was often inconsistent, or hazy at best, it always had something to do with that street. I wasn't sure if that could help me, but there was nothing else for me to go on.

For some 39 years we have seen the mute #MichaelMyers stalk the inhabitants of Haddonfield and beyond. Helping popularize the slasher fever that came in the '80s and cementing the trope of the final girl, Myers and the #Halloween series gave the speechless spectre a name that ranks among the greats like Freddy, Jason, and Ghostface. With 10 films tucked under that pale visage, some of us are asking if we really need to resurrect the king of knife-wielding.

“Does Cindy have a future?” they’d ask, and she heard them, even if they do not think they are being heard. Her parents, all adults really, assumed she couldn’t perceive such worries. Which was a stupid thing to assume.

Barbra Jennings was tiny. Still, having her beside you was like standing next to a giant. Her bright red hair was cut into a groomed pixie cut and combed to one side. Her chubby face, sharp-looking eyes squished into the back of the hollow sockets, and her mouth looking like it was permanently pointing downwards made up her somewhat ghastly appearance. Her figure could take up a double hallway. Her breasts hung down and hovered over her nonexistent waistline. The giant layered lump of her upper body led down to a pair of stick thin legs with tiny feet that seemed to struggle carrying the rest of her. Waddling like a penguin, the round, wobbly lump that defined Barbra made its way through doors and hallways. Seeing her crunched over a tray of pastries, one could easily imagine the weight of her chest tipping her over and her pointy, crooked nose slowly sinking into the warm custard. To the people coming in and out of the bakery, she grinned, laughed, made jokes and quite often slipped in a little something extra when handing over the pastry boxes. The business flourished, so she only gained by doing so. The satisfied smirk that dominated her puffy face when she left the counter was beyond any customer’s observation. Her ability to disguise herself this way was performed with bewildering mastery. It was truly fascinating to watch.
Margit FagerbekkPublished 6 years ago in HorrorGuess Who’s Meeting the Parents
Director Jordan Peele, also known as Peele on the comedy sketch series Key & Peele, creates a chilling horror story that shocks the nation. The story is about an African-American male named Chris who is in a relationship with a Caucasian female who goes by the name of Rose. One weekend, Chris and Rose decide to go visit Rose’s parents. Not knowing that her parents are racist and unusual human beings, Chris agreed to take the trip. Throughout the film, there were racist scenes between Chris and Rose’s family. Different lighting effects and selections of music make the scenes intense. When viewers watch Get Out, they will start to put pieces of the movie together and realize that Peele has also connected back to early times when racism first started in the United States. In society, racism is still going on and is starting to become a subject that gets neglected. The film is worth watching because it is related to the real world and can be used as an example when discussing the discrimination between different races.
Murder Unbeknown
It was pouring with rain as Brian Mallory got his suitcase out of the car. It was dark and cold, with no other living soul in sight. The only thing that was accompanying Brian was the whistling trees, the howling wind, and the icy atmosphere.
Davinia RidgwellPublished 6 years ago in HorrorSafe and Sound
Era sits in the center of a dark room, blindfolded by a scratchy dish towel with her hands tied behind her back. Her body is soaking wet from the current events of her most recent, unsuccessful escape. The bright blue party dress sticks uncomfortably to her undergarments underneath, one side of the bodice creeps lower to expose her right breast. Cleavage prominently on display... It was perfectly cliche the only source of light she could make out was a rusted lightbulb dangling from the ceiling in a small swaying motion. The vicinity was cold, smooth wood floors and metal walls. A bunker, no doubt. One where she had been dragged back and forth to for years. Her guard was compromised far too many times... and here where she was contained and abandoned, where she would recollect what brought her here in the first place: Her dreams. Tears started to soak the fabric where it covered her eyes, hearing the familiar footsteps of the man who brought her here. The man that kept her under lock and key. The inspiration that showered her with "protection" when she needed it the most. It became the biggest mistake of her life, considering it was all she had to her name. Her thoughts, her peace of mind... Controlled by safety.

The cigarette I was lighting almost fell from my lips when I caught a glimpse of the man standing a hundred feet away from me on the train platform. Turning my head to get a better look, the man was suddenly gone. After a minute or so he reappeared, only this time he was to my right and a few feet closer. I shook my head to clear my thoughts because there was no way this was the same man from 5 years ago. I had been working a lot lately, and fatigue was as good of an excuse as any other.
