The Coven's Unseen Bond
Title: "The Coven's Unseen Bond" Spell: Serpentis spiralis, umbra in tenebris. In the heart of the mystical Blackwood Forest, a coven of witches gathered beneath a moonlit canopy of ancient oaks. They stood in a circle, their cloaks fluttering in the cool night breeze, and their eyes gleaming with an otherworldly light. At the center of their circle, a cauldron simmered, casting eerie shadows that danced on the forest floor. The coven's leader, Lady Seraphina, raised her gnarled staff and chanted the incantation that would bind them together in a web of magic.

The Dream of Terror It was 10:00 in the night. I went to sleep, so tired as I came from work. As I fell into a deep sleep, I saw an image of a woman in a purple dress appear to me. She said, “Come with me, and immediately she held my throat, and she began to fly. It was so intense, but I had a strange feeling in my stomach that evil was on the way.

"Friday the Thirteenth: The Series" (which has no relation to the film series of Friday the Thirteenth) was a horror series of the late Eighties, a time when there was a veritable glut of genre television programs, mostly anthology shows such as "Tales from the Darkside," "Tales from the Crypt," "Amazing Stories," and the revived "Twilight Zone." "Freddy's Nightmares" was essentially an anthology series, but each episode was connected by the presence of the wisecracking, razor-tipped glove-wearing mad slasher of dreamland. "Werewolf" was one of the best of them, but suffered from the same fate as the Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno starring series of "The Incredible Hulk": there are only so many plots you can place the shape-shifting drifter into while assuring at least ONE transformation into a monster before the credits roll (i.e. it all gets a bit redundant). Rounding all of this out was the short-lived pseudo-comic show "Monsters," which was obligated to feature a new creature every episode, and a television adaptation of "The War of the Worlds." It tanked early, as did "Max Headroom," and a series spin-off of the mega-hit TV movie "V" and its sequel "V: The Final Battle."
