    History of Halloween

    History of Halloween

    There is no holiday more strongly associated with horror, with all things creepy, frightening, and supernatural, than Halloween. It's the time of year when creatures of legend come alive, on tv and movie screens, in kitschy decorations, as suffocating rubber masks in costume shops. Witches and werewolves, zombies and vampires and ghosts all pour out into the streets, heading from door to door to ask for candy and play a few Halloween tricks. But the holiday goes beyond family friendly entertainment like pumpkin carving, haunted hayrides, and trick or treating. It represents a time when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest, when dark and mysterious forces can reach across the great divide and take hold.

    Veronica

    Veronica

    In the Summer of 2017, Netflix released a film called, “Veronica.” This foreign film quickly became a sensation across the streaming platform as a scary film that people would dare their friends to watch. It evoked memories of “The Exorcist,” a film that felt so real it would unnerve the viewers to the point that they felt compelled to shut it off. Why did it feel so real? Because the film was based on the real story of a woman named, Estefanía Gutiérrez Lázaro.

    Urban Legends

    Urban Legends

    In 1998, Jamie Blanks and Silvio Horta released "Urban Legend," a slasher film determined to explore the urban legend in all of its creepy glory. The film features a college campus terrorized by a serial killer whose crimes are inspired by classic urban legends, bringing them to life and turning the legend into a reality. The film was met with mixed reviews, but became enough of a success among its found audience to spawn two sequels: Urban Legends Final Cut and Urban Legends Bloody Mary. But where did the legends come from? Was there ever any truth behind them?

    Zodiac

    Zodiac

    David Fincher's 2007 film, Zodiac, focused on a killer whose identity was shrouded in mystery, who averted capture during the entirety of his reign of terror. He left breadcrumbs for the authorities, taunting them with clues and coded hints, but his crimes are considered some of the most famous unsolved murders in U.S. history. The true horror at the heart of "Zodiac" began with a murder on lovers' lane in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1969.

    Changelings

    Changelings

    Irish folktales tell of stolen children, whisked away in the dead of night by the fairies. These children were taken to act as servants, to sate the curiosity of fairies curious about human children, or as an act of revenge. In the stolen child's place, they would leave a fairy child that the parents would raise, with no idea that the little one they conceived and gave birth to was long gone...

Nichole Goodnight is killing this show.

Look, I love Bloody FM content. Pacific does great work and SCP Archives is one of my favorite; Nichole shows up there and I appreciate her narrations. But her voice style here kills the show. These are famous and interesting stories and the content is fine, but her AI tone puts me to sleep. There should be SOME variation in speech; Aaron Mahnke on Lore is a good example. I’m stopping after 6 episodes cause it’s just too beige.

ok why the heck is e ,

There is potential to

This is a start up that can’t get of the ground I mean honestly this is about movies not politics so it could get better
