The Longest Halloween
“Ready to go trick or treating, sweety?” Matthew was standing on the front porch, looking up at his mother through the eye holes of my homemade ghost costume.

Halloween 1978 is a true classic
When people look back at certain genres they all have instant classics that come to mind. Horror is no different as the slasher era has gone on to redefine what it means to be a horror film. A few films had inspiration over that change but perhaps none more than Halloween in 1978.

Candyman: Impact of a Legend
”What do the good know other than what the bad teach them by their excesses…?” This is perhaps my favorite quote from the 1992 psychological horror/slasher film Candyman. There are not too many people who are unfamiliar with that name. For the past 30 years this film has sent a fearful shiver down the spines of all who have seen it. Candyman was released in October of 1992, written and directed by Bernard Rose and based off a short story titled “The Forbidden” by Clive Barker. Candyman was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before in the slasher genre. It carried a psychological shock factor, it’s primary antagonist was an African American male, and it’s story was centered around the taboo fourth wall of American society, Race. All of these combining factors would make Candyman one of the most iconic staples in horror/slasher history.

Beauty is Skin Deep
Reign looked up from her Anatomy 101 book to see the incarnation of Adonis. The flowing shoulder-length blond hair and chiseled jaw formed into a bright smile of pearly white teeth. Sparkling blues eyes pierced her soul as he made eye contact. Have I died and gone to heaven? Is he an angel?

Dream Eater
Michelle huffed angrily as she noticed that her dream catcher had fallen off the ceiling again. She checked under the bed, behind the nightstand, and even in the bathroom in case it had rolled inside. Nothing. No dream catcher and no sign of where it had gone. It wasn't as if it was uncommon or anything. Michelle had been replacing dream catchers for most of her life, but the older she got, the more annoying it became.

The Seedling Session
Louis Ommins was throwing a Halloween party. Not just your average Halloween party, though. Instead, it was a game that led your mind through a maze. It was a game he made up called The Seedlings Session. It's where you ask questions while carving pumpkins, and each time you refuse to answer the question, you have to eat a handful of pumpkin seeds. It was cruel to an extent, aside from the fact that pumpkin seeds are edible, and probably no one will refuse a question once they know the consequence.

Goblin Bites: Scary Stories 9
Many eons ago, there was a small village. Life in the village was peaceful, until a horrific plague began sweeping througout the land. The villages and towns of that day and age were no stranger to plague, but this one - dubbed the Blood Plague - was the worse any had ever seen. In the span of a single day, the Blood Plague had been said to wipe out every member of a village completely; it wouldn't spare any soul, slaying the newborn and the ancient alike in its path of destruction.

Goblin Bites: Scary Stories 8
Ben absolutely hated carnivals. Everything from the rattletrap rides that were one loose bolt away from collapsing, the greasy, disgusting food that was literally Salmonella in a paper boat, and those annoying, terrible midway games. The midway games to him were the worst: every single one was totally rigged, so you always wound up spending three months allowance on trying to win a stupid, threadbare little plush toy you could buy at any discount toy store. On top of that there was always a crowd at the carnival, meaning hours upon hours of pushing and shoving to even get anywhere while trying not to get trampled by snot-nosed little kids and their often obese, negligent mothers.
