‘Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight’: Much More Than an Intriguing Title
I’ll admit it: I chose to review this movie merely because of its title. Now, I have done this before, and afterward regretted my choice (The Binding, for example). But this time, I was a lot luckier! Many are dubbing Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight Poland’s first slasher movie; I even think this is the first Polish horror movie I have ever seen. And if the Polish want to make more movies such as this one, I am all for it. Although not a masterpiece, Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight is certainly fun to watch.

Scared out of Your Skin - Legends Come to Life
I’ve come across some terrifying things in my life. Ghosts and spirits, beasts and monsters, a failing grade in chemistry. I’ve avoided one topic, however, for most of my life because of the anxiety and fear it stirs in my subconscious. They call it the “yee naaldlooshii” translating to “he goes on all fours”. But in most societies its name is something simpler, more blood curdling - the Skinwalker.

Dark web
I was 15 years old back when this happened. I was surfing through the internet, watching Naruto Shippuden when I heard a beep sound mid episode. Minimizing the screen, I discovered that there was a chat box for people who were fans of this anime. Someone had just posted a link in it and that’s what the notification sound was about.

The Dream
It always starts the same way. I'm already running, but from what, I don't know. Every time I look behind me, there’s nothing there. I also don't know why he—she, it, whatever—is chasing me. I am a big guy. 6 feet, 300lbs. I want to stop and find out, or maybe even fight it. But I can't. I'm too scared and when I'm scared, everyone should be. So I’m running. Running through the park first, then the field where everyone plays catch or fetch with the dog, and then through the playground equipment.

Marie's Choice
On a chilly, windy night on the north end of Chicago, no street lights, just darkness due to the blizzard. Marie stayed in a lovely little loft decorated with the finest silks and embroidered furniture from over seas, some pieces seemed more ancient than others but nonetheless they were true gems. Marie had traveled the globe wanting more and more items to collect for her lovely loft, one that she spent countless hours trying to perfect. One ding, two dings and the elevator comes up, there was a man with a dark green fleece and wool beanie hat, he called her name more than once with a slight cough to follow, "Marie, I have a gift for you, my love. I think you'll really enjoy it", he spoke. Marie graciously walked out of her bedroom towards the gentleman in wonder. The gentleman pulled out a silver box with a bronze key attached to it, a box that Marie thought resembled one from her youth. " Thank you Jimmy" she stated as she reached out to grab the gift, Jimmy held back the box a while and wondered if she truly knew what was in the box. "Marie, do you remember this", he questioned while holding the box firmly, Marie was confused on to what Jimmy was asking. "It reminds me of a box I once had back in Russia, my husband had given it too me before his death", she stated. Her mind was puzzled on to how Jimmy could have possibly gotten a hold to a box that was years old, as he was just thirty years old.

Sadistic
Chapter One It was quiet. Not a single sound could be heard. I sat in the closet, hiding, with my ear pressed against the door, listening for the sound of footsteps. Waiting for the family to return. They had gone out for dinner and as soon as they had left, I slipped inside the house, crept into the kitchen, and searched for their collection of kitchen knives. I selected the longest, thinnest one they had, and then after taking a few snacks out of the cabinets, I ran and hid in the girl’s closet. I checked my phone. 11:28 pm.

Suzette was dealing with her mothers loss. She stood by her side every day and every night as she was terminally ill with bone cancer. The utter screams of pain at night would wake her and her then newborn son, mother's blood shot eyes wouldn't make her disbelief any better, she often wished she could take the pain away from her dying mother. She'd wish that things were back to normal, that her mother was down stairs watching her morning tv talk shows, laughing perhaps even yelling at the screen. The only screams she could her now was the wailing of her mothers pain. No more pain medications to take, as doctor Hansen didn't finish the prior authorization forms in time for the insurance, The payment for her medications was more than a can of infant formula for her child. But there was now an empty room, a room that was filled with pain and no more laughter or smiles. Just an empty cold room dressed in a bright yellow, the ceiling fan became dusty and one of the mirrors had shattered a couple weeks prior to her death. but who was to clean her mothers room but suzette.

Let Me Sleep!
Imagine this. You are in an empty bedroom all by yourself. You tilt your head to your side to check the time on your alarm clock. The hour needle points at three and the minute needle is pointing at eight. It was 3.40a.m. The atmosphere in your room is just too damn silent. All you hear is your own heart beat pounding through your chest. The bedroom is completely dark. Not even the light from the street lamps outside could penetrate the thick curtains that are hung in your room.
