The Skinner
I swing my hatchet and it cuts his shoulder, blood gushes out as he falls in pain, screams so loud to almost deafen you. “You deserve this.” I pull my hatchet upward and it releases his body. He breathes faster and faster. Blood gushes out of his body. His blue plaid shirt now soaked in red. I take hold of his foot and begin to drag him back to the cabin. He struggles, but gives up after a minute. He knows he won’t win this. I tighten my grip on him and keep pulling.

Sadistic
Chapter One It was quiet. Not a single sound could be heard. I sat in the closet, hiding, with my ear pressed against the door, listening for the sound of footsteps. Waiting for the family to return. They had gone out for dinner and as soon as they had left, I slipped inside the house, crept into the kitchen, and searched for their collection of kitchen knives. I selected the longest, thinnest one they had, and then after taking a few snacks out of the cabinets, I ran and hid in the girl’s closet. I checked my phone. 11:28 pm.

The Untold Story of Sara Lavender
Today is Thursday. Wait, or maybe it is Friday. I lost track of time and what day it was because I have been working so much lately. It could even be Monday, for that matter. But I don't want to tell you about today. I want to tell you about a time that happened earlier in the week.

Paid For You
It was cold. There was no light, save for the small hole in the rough burlap sack over my head. I felt the freezing metal chair under me. The only separation between the chair and I was my thin shirt and skirt. My bare feet shivered from the frigid concrete. Piercing through the hole of the sack, I could see the concrete walls held copper pipes that lead around the room. There were very few bright light fixtures dangling ominously from thick black cords. I shifted my gaze to the metal table a meter away from me. My breath quickened as my blue eyes laid onto the various surgical equipment. They were all laid out neatly, possibly handled with intense care. I abruptly turned to my left to find another table. This table instead held more rustic tools. There was a blowtorch, a multitude of hammers, wrenches, drills, and firearms surrounding the main prize, a chainsaw.

Man of my dreams
"Goodnight mom! Goodnight Dad!" I shouted as I ran up stairs to say my prayers before bed. My mom followed. She always tucked me in kissed my forehead and turned the light out for me. We moved a lot but they were always constants in my life. That I was thankful for.

All American Bad Boy: Why 'Scream' is the Ultimate Slasher Film. Second Place in Slasher Classics Challenge.
The seductive yet sinister voice, the long black grim reaper-like gown, the big black boots, the malicious mind games, and the terrifyingly long stretched-mouthed and stretch-eyed white mask are enough to induce great fear in anyone. This was especially true for me as I watched Wes Craven's Scream movie for the first time at seven years old. There was something about the ghost face persona that pulled me in as a viewer, and I felt both absorbed by the scenes unfolding before me and absolutely frightened out of my mind.

One genre of horror that has often been more entertaining than scary is that of the slasher variety. They all follow the same principle of providing strong moral lessons to junior assholes. We are meant to sympathise not with victim's but with the hideous blood drenched killer.

TIS THE SEASON...TO BE SCARY
TIS’ THE SEASON…TO BE SCARY Hope you like the title. Well, suffice it to say Halloween and Christmas aren’t that different from each other, when you think about it. For instance – people get dressed up, they spend tons of money to decorate their houses, and there’s no shortage of confections to tide you over…and give you nightmares. Well technically I’m Jewish, and while I celebrate Chanukah rather than Christmas, I do love and celebrate Halloween…or at least try. It’s a little difficult when you’re 40 and can’t really go trick or treating anymore…unless of course, you offer to go as a chaperone with your own kids, or for your siblings kids. While it sounds like Halloween is typically for children, there are thankfully a plethora of activities to keep adults engaged as well such as costume parties and haunted attractions. Perhaps, one of the most popular genres in the film industry is HORROR movies. Whether it’s the new faces of Horror or classic characters being remade for audiences, it’s not hard to see why. In the past couple of years there have literally been new faces added to the genre as well as remakes of classic movies. However, the question is “Do they live up to their predecessors?” Personally one of my mottos is “Life’s no fun without a good scare!” a line that pays homage to Tim Burton’s 1993 Classic Film THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, but I suppose you might say, “That’s a Ghost of a different color.”
