#8 - The Blogger Beat Down: "American Horror"

I've been trapped behind my ideas lately that I didn't take the time to take in the fact that it's October yet. I should be watching horror movies and stuff, but I can't seem to pull myself away from this magic box, to get to that magic box.  I've been making good with what I've got right now and instead of going for horror flicks, I've focused on some of the classic American horror stories of the past, like stuff by Washington Irving.

Here is something about growing up that just got me thinking how, we already have plenty of scares in our real lives so why would we want anything scary now? Even fake scary? I haven't been to a haunted house in years. They're an expense I can't 'shell out' for and it's just fun I can do without.

I do wish there were real supernatural scares though. Like, the way they were real when I was a kid. Like, when my sister and I could swear that we saw Dracula looking at us from a creek, or the typical haunted house in the neighborhood. I don't have time for those things anymore -- with all the reality going on around me, but I do try to 'stir it up', especially with the theories and studies I've taken a interest in. So despite the uphill battle, I'm still fascinated by those mysterious things of the ancient world, as it is what produces those evils and entities.

Update

I know I haven't made it very clear as to what this blog is about and rather than go through every post thoroughly to find out, I've added a about page for you. Hopefully this will clarify things as I'm not very sure I have a particular niche for it. To be clear, this isn't a personal blog about what I ate today or anything insignificant. It's all part of a greater system. As you can probably see, the changes are coming along slowly and should be more to the point before the new year. For the rest of the month however, let's stir up some ghosts and goblins!
