A figure, A face
Hi new journal! It was finally happening. My dream job: Visual Merchandiser. You know when you’re a little kid and your parents takes you to the nice neighborhood? And you see a really fancy store window? I feel like everyone has that moment. And when I had that moment, I decided I want to do that. I must’ve been all of five but I knew that’s what I would do when I grew up. And all of that work led me here. Six years of school and an endless line of crappy jobs had led me here. On the visual merchandising team of one of the biggest stores in the country. And the bigger the store, the bigger the store window.

Midnight
Vampires have been coexisting with humans for centuries remaining their predators, but as Guardians of the Vandernight court one of the most powerful and largest courts in the supernatural world, it's me and Elliot's job to make sure we're never exposed to humans and that no abominations between supernaturals were born or created, that's the oath I took two hundred years ago.

My True Ghost Story:
THE PEG LEGGED BOY When I was between 3 - 4 years of age my family lived in a small house. My family included my older brother and older sister. What I never knew till I was much older was that there was a woman who had her throat slit and died in the bathroom of the house, but oddly enough there was more going on in that little house than a woman who was sadly murdered. I first remember this being what I can only describe as, as the Grim Reaper. Since I had a bed in my parent’s bedroom this Grim Reaper would stand near the end of my bed and just stare at me it felt like past it’s cloak like cloth shrouding it’s face and arms. For a while the Reaper would come almost nightly then it stopped coming. Something else began to come for me instead. Something more terrifying in my mind. Something else to hurt and torment me almost nightly. Something else made sure I couldn't scream for help. I fought to free myself from its grasp and jump into my parents bed and lie between them. It watched me from the foot of the bed between the rails and glare. Do you want to know what this thing was? I believe now as I look back at it that this was the Grim Reaper that now changed itself into a Blonde haired, Blue Eyed little boy who had a peg leg. Yes, you read that right. I said a peg leg. Like a pirate with a peg leg. If you close your eyes, imagine a small child hearing another small child's footstep approaching from the kitchen. With each small step, there was a loud clop that dragged upon ceramic floor and then as your heart races faster you begin feel almost out of breath. You hear that small child step down from the kitchen into the bedroom and peek around the dresser that blocked the doorways view. That blonde haired boy with blue eyes slowly walking around the side of the dresser and standing there. First with a smile on his face. Then the smile became frightening and menacing and you could feel like you wanted to run but there was nowhere to go. His demeanor would change. He face turned into this evil look and that grin that would appear made you realize something bad was going to happen. The intensity and air of the room changes. My voice seeming to disappear as my parents lay nearby across the room and I couldn't even scream to get them as they slept. That child then charged at me. Removing his peg leg and hitting me with it until I was able to get free and jump into my parent’s bed. I could hear him behind me chasing to catch up to me so I couldn’t get away and every time I did and climbed in between my parents he’d stand at the end of the bed and look through the railings at the foot of the bed and sway back and forth. Expressionless. Letting the rails rub against his face as he pressed his face into the railings swaying back and forth. We locked eyes for what seemed like an eternity. Eventually I woke up and it was morning. As each day came, I always seemed to forget about each night and then when the evenings would hit and I knew it was time to go to bed, I’d remember why I was afraid to go to sleep. I was afraid to lay on the opposite side of the room from my parents bed because “that boy” would come and get me. He always come and get me. I would fight my mom to stay up and not go to sleep. She would think that I was just being a child who didn’t want to go to bed and I couldn’t explain what was going on. What I was seeing. What was after me.

Hunt for the black eyed girls of cannock chase
This is the case of....The Hunt for the black eyes girl of cannock chase......... Ok so were to start with this one, well while our team member and Steve’s cousin Joey is still in the hospital still due to his painful injuries given to him from our hunt for that box, but that is in no way at all gonna stop our job in the slightest, and this time we are hunting a cryptid that is a subsection of a well known cryptid the black eyed kids, but this one is all girls are is a much more recently sighted cryptid strictly located in cannock chase. “So what’s the danger of these creatures” Steve asked me “well these are not exactly creatures that we know a lot about as they tend to vanish whenever someone gets close to them but some do think they have paranormal abilities and tonight we are gonna figure it out mate” I replied as Maddy smiled with a facial expression of pure and utter excitement for our hunt, I gotta say despite the think with Joey her ‘go get em” energy is very nice to the team for sure I mean I know Steve will disagree but I honestly think she is a much better addition than Athena was.

The Girl With All The Gifts Would Survive Coronavirus
Are you sitting at home, wondering if the projections of COVID-19 mortalities are going to be anything like reality? And if so, are we doomed? Well, I happened upon "The Girl With All The Gifts" on Netflix and was drawn to the parallels between Melanie, a young girl with promising genetics, and our own pandemic.

The Lutz Family
A year after the horrific murders occurred the house sat until the Lutz family decided to buy the High Hopes Murder House for $88,000 on December 18, 1975. The furniture from the DeFeo family was still partial in the house which the Lutz family paid an additional $400 as a part of their mortgage. The Lutz family stayed in the High Hopes Murder house for less than 30 days. Even given the history of what happened in the house leading up to their sale. They were determined to make the house a home given its price that they just couldn’t pass up. The Lutz family had a priest come in and bless the house before moving in.

Hunt for the haunted box
Ok well after the hunt for the Kentucky troll and my gangs brief break were I took time to review the Artemis fowl book, me and my gang are back on the track to our job hunting down crypts and other paranormal entities for both are and your enjoyment (Oh also I encourage u to checkout the Artemis fowl review I took a lot of time into it). Anyway back on the road this time “so what this time doc” Steve asked me “this time we are gonna search for a box” Steve raised his eyebrow to this “a box, really?” He said to me in a tone that was very un-interested, “Not just anybox this one it contains a demonic spirit and we are gonna bring it back to my parents house to show them” it was at this point Steve perked up and it caught his attention “uh are u sure this is a good idea I mean just cause your parents kicked you doesn’t mean u need to put there safety in” but to this I b-slapped Steve in a member similiar to bravis and butthead, and then gave a firm “shut up”.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Tremors' (1990)
SPOILERS!!! I know when my reviews start with the spoilers, that usually means the movie is garbage and I'm about to tell you how bad. Not Tremors (1990). This movie is fucking epic! However, considering the general tone and style of the movie, it's appropriate to treat it like a trash film, so spoilers away.

10 Chilling Horror Movies To Binge On Netflix Right Now
The nation has, for the most part, been put under house arrest. The weather is getting better and I'm sure a lot of you would rather be making the most of the new sunshine by socialising out and about with your pals or sunbathing, or basically doing anything other than staying inside watching the sun tease you through the window (aside from my misanthropic, autumn/winter bunnies. I feel you).
