Halloween Horror

Halloween is more than a holiday; more than a fun time of candy and costumes for the young. It is inoculated into our very being at an early age and there it remains. As we grow old, it grows dormant… but it is still there. For the lucky ones, such as us, it emerges every year, like a reanimated corpse digging its way out of graveyard earth to shamble across our souls. And we rejoice… oh, if we are the fortunate ones, we most certainly rejoice.

Demons are faced, death is defied, and love is tested. And not everyone makes it out alive. The End of Summer has arrived.

Se le divinità pagane popolano ancora il nostro mondo... Dieci storie quasi di paura che potrebbero essere accadute a casa vostra, nel vostro cortile o a scuola.
