Happy Halloween, everyone! Hope you have a fun time. Don’t eat too many sweets, now 😛
I don’t know what it’s like elsewhere, but it seems that here in the UK Halloween gets less and less prominent every year. I remember, when I were a lad, Halloween was a MASSIVE thing. Shops would get all queued up for it, there’d be spooky decor everywhere, restaurants and clubs and bars would all run theme nights. It’d be a good, fun time, perfect for kids with a sense for the macabre.
I’ve always liked getting a bit of a chill, and I’ve always maintained that the more realistic and the less glossy a production is, the more terrifying it has the potential to become. This is pretty well reflected in my love of the first season of the X-Files, where the lack of special effects and the reliance on CONCEALING the paranormal from the eyes of the viewers is employed over actually showing the full gruesome/scariness of the event.
I stumbled across the wonderful Marble Hornets series as a result of poking around on TVTropes (Yes, I am indeed One Of Us), and having leafed through the Slender Man mythos decided to give it a go.
