Haunted Dollhouse - Horror story
There was a house at the end of the street that everyone in the neighbourhood avoided. The overgrown weeds in the yard, broken windows, and crooked shutters gave the appearance of a house that had been abandoned for years. However, the truth was that it was still inhabited, but not by the living.

Scream: The series that revived the Slasher genre
The slasher genre has always been its own unique sub culture of horror films. From its humbled beginnings of Psycho (1960) from Alfred Hitchcock and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) from Tobe Hopper, to its golden age glory years of Halloween (1978), Friday the 13th (1980) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). There is just something about a horror villain with a blade who just snaps that really joneses horror fans.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Candyman' (2021)
It would be impossible to talk about this movie without mentioning the political undertone. I mean, you basically can't even talk about the original Candyman (1992) without mentioning the political undertones. The first was more about Redlining and the creation of the Projects, and the new one is more about gentrification and police brutality, but both stories were told with a purpose. The director and writer of both movies wanted to tell a story that highlights the systematic oppression of black people and how that's exploited by white people. The first one didn't pull any punches and neither did the second. Frankly, it's a fantastically brilliant way to create a mythos. The urban legend of Candyman takes on a life of its own in the real lives and real struggles of black people.

Clicking Crustaceans, Clattering Dice
Sage, riding atop the back of her trusted giant wolf-spider, Creep, nocked an arrow and loosed. She fired again and again into the blackness. She couldn’t see her target – not even her goblin eyes could pierce through this unnatural darkness – but she knew it was back there, somewhere; she heard it bellowing – its ancient, clicking guttural voice reverberating off the claustrophobic, circular walls of the black cavern like grating sonar.
