The Poisoner
Assassins have existed since the dawn of time, higher ups in society across the world desire to see those who wronged them dead! So killers are hired to eliminate the targets for wealth, typically money is the reward they seek. Most assassins use hidden blades, carried under their sleeves, quickly slashing their victims before blending in with the crowd again. Others use sniper rifles or other long range guns, shooting from afar or up close. The best assassins are subtle and sneaky, the greatest ones of all have never been caught! There are a disturbing number of ways you can kill a human, I obviously won't share any, not in this story so use your imagination. The point of this tale is to explore the most bizarre assassin to ever walk the planet, a killer who is still unknown but has committed a countless amount of murders across the globe. All of which include spiking or tampering with the victims food or drink. This would poison the target to the point of fatal illness, it happened to the most unlikely of people, as though this assassin had no true targets but simply killed for sport. Perhaps there were reasons he chose to kill these people, but it is a mystery that has been left unanswered for decades. Many believe there to be multiple Poisoner assassins throughout the years, the theory that is it no single man or woman makes a lot of sense. It is a theory many subscribe to. The targets killed range from cute couples, families or lone travellers, who visit exotic restaurants whilst on their holidays around the world. It is always detected to be either rat or ricin poisoning, that kills the victims. There have been numerous cases investigated, where CCTV has spotted strange chefs in kitchens, those who were never officially hired had slipped in a disguise and tampered with the food. They always wear the chef's scarf over their face, to hide their identity. The figure has been described as male, standing tall and athletic. To presume the killer is male, he has been spotted in bars too, a hooded figure with a balaclava, spiking drinks of people who later end up dead. Usually the police don't investigate until the killer has already committed his murder, so it seems they have long vanished before any trail can be found. Not to mention the amount of people who were at first presumed to have been food poisoned, where it was the restaurant or cafe found responsible for not properly serving well cooked food. Only for forensics to later discover the truth, which was far more sinister and purposeful. Nobody knows who this assassin is, or why they do the terrible things they do. They are presumed to be male, but even that is uncertain. The race or gender of the killer is not yet confirmed. No face has ever been identified. A pattern has not been detected either. The Poisoner is a ghost, an assassin so good, they always manage to slip through the cracks, what with their many disguises and hiding spots. One can only assume the assassin seeks out those with bounties upon their heads, do if you've angered the wrong person, someone high up in society, be sure to eat food from the supermarket instead. You'll never know if The Poisoner is after you or not, until it is too late! If you eat or drink anything that tastes off, you should probably bin that item and wash out your mouth, there's a good chance it may be dangerous to consume. Then you'd become another death, on a list of thousands.

In the modest community of Ravenswood, settled profoundly inside the timberland, there stood an old, weather-beaten house. Its climate-beaten walls bore the scars of time, and its windows, similar to discharge attachments, gazed into the night with a spooky void. Legend murmured of a revile that tormented the chateau, a revile that had driven its occupants to franticness and hopelessness.

Our story begins in the core of a curious, yet premonition, town settled in the midst of thick backwoods and repeating slopes. Here, in the midst of the murmurs of old trees, stood a neglected house, its windows like empty eyes looking into the spirits of bystanders. Our hero, Emily, an inquisitive soul with a propensity for the obscure, thought for even a moment to wander where others shuddered to step. As she moved toward the transcending building, a feeling of disquiet settled over her like a weighty shroud, however her interest consumed more brilliant than her trepidation.

Sarah, a seasoned park ranger, squinted at the strange indentations in the red clay path. They weren't footprints, not exactly. Tridactyl, yes, but the spacing was wrong, the impressions too shallow. An unsettling shiver danced down her spine despite the Arizona sun beating down. It wasn't the first oddity she'd encountered this week. Missing livestock, a baffling pattern of flattened desert flora in geometric shapes – whispers amongst the ranchers hinted at something...alien.

The Gates of Hell (a.k.a. City of the Living Dead)
666The Gates of Hell is a 1980 Italian cheapo horror flick with zombies and gore. I'm not certain you'd call it "Giallo" but everyone and his little brother likes to throw around that term, so I'm going to do the same here. it was directed by Lucio "The Beyond" Fulci, a good Italian director from ages past but a rather bad child advocate who filmed a scene wherein he threw live chickens at Wil "Wesley Crusher" Wheaton's little sister during the single scene he filmed for David Keith's wretched H.P. Lovecraft "adaptation" The Curse (1987), about which Wil has written a horrific blog post alleging abuse and maltreatment of various shades by the Italian crew and the American actor and director, Keith (we say allegedly, as nothing can be definitively proved). We've written about that post in an article we never finished; oh, but we'll get to it, trust us.
