American Horror Story
American Horror Story is a television show created by the brilliant Ryan Murphy. The show has an interesting format which consisted of every season
being a new story with new characters. Sometimes actors would come back with new parts, and others would leave and come back later. This format
keeps the show fresh and interesting, with each season feeling like a new show completely.
Season 3 of American Horror Story was labeled "Coven." A season set in New Orleans involving two tribes of witches, both of which being said to
have sprang from Salem. At first this had confused me, are they saying all magic comes from Tituba in Salem? Europe has a history of magic, this
doesn't make sense. After finding an interview with Ryan Murphy, he explained that it was just that one bloodline had come from Salem, but that there
were other bloodlines that had come from other areas as well.
The two tribes focused on in the series is Marie Laveau and her voodoo magic in the lower 9th ward, as well as a school of young ... Show more content

While Bassett has become a staple in the AHS world, playing a total of 3 characters so far, the other characters feel like a waste of her talent.
Marie Laveau is a famous name known around the world as the Voodoo Queen. A historical figure Marie was known for immortality, her magic,
chasing away other voodoo priestesses in New Orleans, as well as the mysterious disappearance of one of her husbands. While the legend can be
argued all day long, in factual accounts she not only used her money to free slaves, but she took in many children that had no parents. She was quite
the role model for women and African Americans at the time. In American Horror Story she plays the sworn enemy of Fiona Goode and her coven.
After her people were gunned down she turns to them for their help, and it doesn't end well for Marie. A badass from the beginning she is a great

Fear Like It By Stephen King: A Short Story Of Horror
Horror Stories are a very popular genre of books. Some can be exceptionally malicious and gruesome in nature while others are tamer and rely on
suspense. People tend to read these stories for the adrenaline rush, to explore the unknown, and to conquer their own adversities. Studies show that us
as humans like to experience fear. We read and view scary stories so we can experience artificial situations of "fight or flight." These scenarios,
whether real or imagined, get your body ready for action by giving you an extra dose of adrenaline. The thrill and suspense that hangs over us while
reading, is a welcomed feeling. Scary stories also allow us to explore the unknown. In books there are boundless supernatural realms, where wonder

In horror stories there is just enough mystery to make you want to know more, and enough danger to make you glad this is fiction. Scary stories can
allow people to conquer their own adversities. We all have our demons, things we're afraid of but don't want to admit. Some horror novels play on
common fears like IT by: Stephen King which uses clowns as the source for fear, Chucky which features menacing dolls and Contagion which
portrays rampant pestilence. By vicariously facing your fears in a novel, you're able to tame them in real life. Sometimes even watching a character
deal with the monster uplifts you to face your own fears. The concept of gruesome entertainment is all in human psychology. In order for us to be
entertained, we have to feel the story being told. Scary stories bring us the adrenaline rush, the exploration of the unknown, and even the upliftment we
all crave. Luckily the monsters in these stories are all fiction and cannot harm us in real life. Until they show up the next night, waiting for you in the

Compare And Contrast The American Horror Story And The...
American Horror Story and the Amazing World of Gumball Compared Ryan Murphy's anthology American Horror Story shows a side of evil and
darkness that none of us could ever imagine. Ben Bocquelet's animated TV show The Amazing World of Gumball represents that unordinary,
innocent part of ourselves that we often forget about. In this paper, I will be comparing the similarities and the differences of the two, drastically
different shows. American Horror Story (AHS) has a malevolent, dystopian view on the environment and those in it, while The Amazing World of
Gumball (Gumball) tries to pull off a more welcoming, friendly stance. AHS tends to focus more on the negatives and the evil in the world like
murder, illegal drugs, alcohol, lying, manipulation, and abuse. The show's story can be written in some of the bluntest ways as possible. There is
no beating around the bush or hiding under the blanket. Gumball gives a display of happiness and a fantasy of what our childhoods could be like.
The joy and fun of being a child is shown in a way that younger kids tend to overlook. The view of the show normally comes off as "fun, innocent
humor." AHS's way of presentation is meant to give off an antiutopian type of reality to appeal to those who enjoy or find interest in the twisted side
of life. Gumball is animated the way it is to have a stronger appeal to children and give off that vibe of utopia and being carefree. AHS's characters'

The Horror Genre in Stories of Stevenson and Greene Essay
The Horror Genre in Stories of Stevenson and Greene
R.L Stevenson's 'The Body–Snatcher' and Graham Greene's 'The End Of The party' are both short stories that are a part of the horror genre, despite
differing in many ways. Throughout this essay, I am going to compare the differences and the similarities between the two horror stories. I will assess
the way the writers use certain aspects that are part of the horror genre to make their story have an impact on the reader and have the ability to
captivate their reader and keep them engrossed in the story. I will be focusing on specific areas within each story including, setting, structure,
atmosphere, suspense, endings and also the different types ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The use of isolated areas can be associated with sinister goings on and can add again to the reader's uneasiness and fear. Also innocent victims can make
the reader feel scared and more vulnerable, as it demonstrates that bad things can happen to anyone. Twists in horror stories are very common and both
these horror stories contain different twists that can shock the reader.
'The Body–Snatcher' is a more typical horror story containing many of these things that I have mentioned. On the other hand, 'The End Of The Party'
differs to 'The Body–Snatcher', with it being more to do with the mind and appearing quite everyday, and not containing as many of the typical horror
components. But both 'The Body–Snatcher' and 'The End Of The Party' can be placed in the horror genre as they contain the vital components that
make a good horror story.
'The Body–Snatcher' is quite self–explanatory in the title and is about body snatching. It begins "in the small parlour of the George at Debenham"
where we meet the main character, Fettes. Fettes has an encounter with someone from his past – Macfarlane, who he is obviously not pleased to see for
reasons unknown to the reader at this stage. At the mention of Macfarlane's name "Fettes became instantly sober", this immediately tells the reader of

Transformations In Horror Story : House Taken Over By...
Transformations in Horror Stories The fear creeping up my skin as goosebumps begin to appear with the first steps into a haunted house filled with
monsters, screams, and darkness. The weird smells and sounds and occasional air blasts lead to a rush or adrenaline, which create a dreadful
sensation. The idea of having someone creep up behind me causes my spine to tingle and the hairs on my neck to rise. Fear is an inevitable emotion
that comes in various forms whether it be monsters, Gothic elements, or transformations within stories. Through the three short stories, the readers are
introduced to the effects that the transformations in the mood, characters, and setting have on the tension and build of fear in the readers. Changes in
the mood can affect how the reader views a story and the aura that the story gives off whether it be a calming or spooky feeling. In the short story
"House Taken Over" by Julio Cortazar, the author conveys a change in the mood through an ordinary environment with ordinary characters that are
suddenly disturbed by elements of fantasy, which builds up a feeling of uncertainty in the readers. One night, the narrator hears noises from the other
side of their house as "the sound came through muted and indistinct" (39). The idea that the noises might return and take over more sections should stir
an emotion of paranoia, completely different from the previous mood of tranquility; however, the narrator and Irene seem to believe that this is normal

He stands at the door, as if fearing to touch. But he is puzzled. More– he is curious. He twists the handle, the metal's coldness leaping along his arm

more dense; it seems to swell into the bedroom, a waxing shadow. He shrinks away, reluctant to allow contact with this fresh darkness.
His vision adjusts, and the inkiness scatters as if weakened by its own sudden growth. He advances again, passing through the doorway to stand

Every Thanksgiving cook's worst nightmare is something going wrong with the turkey. It's the centerpiece of the meal and what people are most
looking forward to. Having a fully cooked turkey means that as a cook you've bypassed the first potential horror story, but you still have to get the
turkey from the roasting pan onto a serving platter. One mom was in charge of cooking the turkey for her entire extended family. She and her teenaged
daughter were in the kitchen and she was taking the turkey from the roasting pan to put it on a serving dish, except the turkey slipped and crashed to
the floor. Mother and daughter looked at each other with mouths gaping, but then the mother picked the turkey up with both hands and put it on the
serving platter. She looked at her daughter again and uttered with quiet steel, "Nothing happened."

Society : A Horror Story Essay
Society: A horror story.
Human beings, as a whole, have generated more than enough speculation as to the origins of mortal nature. Why are we they way we are? Why do
we do the things we do or feel the way we feel? Scientists and philosophers have almost always dedicated their causes to the study of biology or
religion, continuously giving humanity's gender, sexuality and identity a basis from a scientific or religious perspective. Science is supposed to be
correct. After all, that IS the basis of science. Yet how many times has the worldthought to be flat and proved wrong? And the sun, which was thought
to be revolving around the earth, was proven incorrect? The theory of social construction seems to be a new introduction to the way we see the
world. It is largely possible that a brainwashing through society and media plays a large part of the social disparity between men and women or
straight and queer people. Perhaps the innate idea that declares from such a young age that we are to be brought up based on our gender truly has
very little to do with science and is instead, based on us as a human race? Social construction theory plays on this idea, accusing society of
indoctrination through media, literature, and a sense of 'normalcy' A standard view gender's will cause a belief that a mother is made to be maternal,

Along with the imagery used, the setting whereby the horror takes its place is an important part of a horror story. This also helps create a
daunting atmosphere. Also a specific setting maybe associated with horror such as a graveyard or a marooned big castle, when this type of setting
is used it creates an even better atmosphere, as the reader recognises the setting and associates it with horror. In successful horror stories assorted
types of characters is used, this mixture is fairly important in the making of a good horror story. This mixture is imperative as using various
characters allows the author to explore different aspects of people's personalities, which can be used to explore the menacing side of people's
personality, and the author can also explore how other humans interact with the scary side to someone's personality. A type of character that is very
common in horror stories is the sinister, obsessive character; this is usually the villain of the story. This character creates the tension in the storyline
and may be the main character of the story, there are exceptions and sometimes the obsessive character may not be the villain. Another character there

The Press Released Horror Stories
United States. In Kenya, the press released horror stories of what the Mau Mau rebels did to colonists to destroy support for them among both the
British back home, and potential rebels in Kenya. International news reported Kikuyu attacks on settlers as "fanatical," "degraded," "bestial," and
"satanic" (Robbins 295). Such press reports denied the Mau Mau rebels their own voice in the international conversation and turned potential sources of
support against them.

However, all responses from governments and capitalists have not been violent. Native Americans have ongoing, nonviolent struggles with the United
States government over land, money, education, healthcare, and legal rights. Maxus has regular dealings with ONHAE that are nonviolent, yet they
are a form of resistance because ONHAE is in itself a resistance.
Those that are protested against may not understand the protest; Robbins writes that the British could think of no reason that the Mau Mau would
rebel, and so they blamed the Mau Mau oath (Robbins 297). When two cultures collide, it is reasonable to assume that one (or both) will not understand
the other; there is often little attempt to understand the indigenous culture, as shown by missionary attempts to educate indigenous people away from
their traditional cultures. The inability to understand each other, or perhaps the lack of an attempt to, may also be a leading cause for the violent
reactions that foreign parties have had to indigenous resistance.
The Huaorani are such a small group that open rebellion like the Mau Mau's would be totally illogical. Instead, they have tried going the legal route,
and, in doing so, have attempted to create a cross–cultural understanding by educating the leaders of ONHAE to interact with outsiders. ONHAE is an

Examples Of Foreshadowing In Horror Stories
A key element in horror stories is foreshadowing. Foreshadowing will make readers want to read more and it will also create suspense. Foreshadowing
is nearly same in horror stories. Foreshadowing in horror stories such as "THE LANDLADY", "THE MONKEY'S PAW" and "THE TELL– TALE

A Short Story : The Purpose Of A Horror Story
The purpose of a horror story is to entertain and scare the reader into believing that fictional stories could happen in real life. The ending to a horror
story can either make the story or break the story, leaving the author with the task of creating an ending as horrifying as the story that was just read.
There are many different ways an author can craft an ending to their horror story in order to accentuate the works' horrific effects. The different endings
are shown throughout four different authors and five different works. Different themes, motifs, and symbols have all been used in order to bring
horrific works to life for the readers, but their effects all come together to induce fear and strengthen the endings of the stories, leaving readers and
viewers with frightening images of the fate that found the main characters. The different works use themes of unavoidable fate, hopelessness, and
ambiguity to strengthen the horrific effects in the endings of their stories. In Daphne du Maurier's, "Don't Look Now," the ending raises the hopes of
the audience that there will be a happy ending for John and his family, only to have it taken away in a cruel twist of fate. The short story is centered

All three stories were written in the 19th century. They were all set at the same time when they were written. This is a good effect because at the
time when they were written, horror stories containing superstition and the macabre were popular because the people at that time believed in
witchcraft, ghosts and demons. The location of the action is of great importance in the gothic novel because it creates an atmosphere and feeling
to the story. 'The Judges House' is located in the dining room of an old, quiet and isolated house. An old, rambling, heavy built house, this creates a
scary atmosphere thus matching the typical setting of a gothic horror story. It goes on to describe the dining room as a, room in darkness, this also
creates a scary and terrifying atmosphere because you cant see in the dark and you don't know what's in the dark, this also is an essential gothic

the story tells you about the ugly and bad things that have started to happen in the story. These three things are what makes a horror story good to

In King's stories he has people being killed in different ways, but also doesn't have a lot of it throughout his stories. One story is "Popsy" which is
where a guy owes someone money and takes kids to get the money, but this time he finds a kid who isn't like the others. A quote from this story is,
" He bucked and fought and lunged for the door, panting and uttering weird bird like cries." The reason he is uttering bird like cries is because he
is a vampire and is trying to call for his Popsy to rescue him. The grotesque of Poe's stories is that he leaves little to the imagination, makes it easy
to see what is going to happen next, and has a lot of grotesque all throughout his stories. One of his stories is "Raven" which is where a guy loses
his girl and a raven comes and tells him nevermore and makes the guy made and he tries to kill the raven but can't. So the raven is still on his

We Are Moving A Horror Story
It was a normal day but I never knew that it would turn into a horror story.
It was early in the morning I woke up and smelled the fresh summer breeze. My brother Kyle (a wild little 8 year old), and I ran down stairs to the
smell of delicious pancakes, not our normal. While my mom and Aaron (Aaron the best stepdad ever) was reading in the study. My brother and I
chugged down our milk and shoved the pancakes in our mouths. After my brother and I ate our breakfast we ran like a stampede into the study. When
we reached the study there was two boxes and four suitcases .
"I bet you are wondering what is wrong." my mom asked normally (surprising)
"Um yeah." Both Kyle and I said awkwardly
"Well Aaron and I have been thinking that we would move Texas." my mom explained
"So we are moving ?" Kyle and I asked
"Well yes, but only Aaron and I are" my mom said
"Where will we go?" I asked (about yelling)

Scooby Doo : Suspicion : The Horrors Of The Story?
You'll Never Guess Suspicion is demonstrated at its finest in great works of mystery. Scooby Doo is a wonderful example of silly mysteries,
entertaining the audience with different suspects in a criminal scenario. The audience can speculate and try to guess who committed the crime
throughout the entire story, paying attention to the hints that the author, or constructor of the story, gives them. If an audience member can learn how
to pay attention to little details that the author is giving them, and pick up on small things that are being said by certain people, they can often come to
find out who is the suspect, or at least come very close. This is part of what makes mysteries so entertaining. Furthermore, the author can make their
mystery even more interesting by leading the reader in a certain direction. They can persuade the reader to believe that a certain person is guilty by
dropping hints here and there. In Paul Haven's excerpt from "The Curse of the Poisoned Pretzel", Haven leads the reader to believe that Skidmore is
guilty of poisoning his brother Manchester by describing Skidmore's background, Manchester's background, and Skidmore's later actions.
Haven starts by creating an evil mood about Skidmore, describing in detail his physical and emotional background. Skidmore is characterized in this
story as being extremely scrawny. A character who is guilty of a crime often looks the part. A villain often has a dark and dreary appearance;

Running Rulers: The Running Rules Of American Horror Story
7 The Running Rules of American Horror Story Series creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed that AHS: Cult will not feature any supernatural elements,
which makes this the first season in the show's history to so. Every season of the show so far has included either ghosts, vampires, witchcraft,
psychics, possession, or magic, all built around the running rules of the American Horror Story universe. For example, in this world ghosts are subject
to specific rules; they are bound to the location that they died in and can have interactions with the living if they chose to do so. They can only move
around on Devil's Night. Sometimes the ghosts appear with the injuries they died from but other times they appear to look normal. We've come to

awkward silence. Basically, the entire ordeal is chaos.
Just be thankful none of your first dates have turned into these horror stories.

We've all been there. You go out on a date with someone you discover that you just can't stand. Whether the date is overly sexual or a good 'ol

The worst is when your date then tries and makes a move, and you're sitting there thinking "Wait, did he/she actually think that went well?"

3. Unknowingly becoming the other woman
Going out on a date, you never expect the person you're seeing to be previously engaged. One woman had the most embarrassing night of her life
when her date's wife showed up at the restaurant to make a scene. Can you say awkward?
4. Gross eaters
There is no worse sound than someone chewing with his or her mouth open. Going on a date with someone who doesn't possess basic table manners is
our definition of hell. Unfortunately, too many people have been forced to engage with other people for the first time under these circumstances. Yuck!

elements that do. How is tension and suspense built up and maintained in at least two Gothic horror stories? The genre of Gothic Horror was

common characteristics of suspense, fear and would often include a rational, scientifically minded character who fails to heed warnings. Gothic horror

As the old man pleads with his wife "For God's sake don't let it in" The reader is left to imagine the horrific sight of Herbert with the remnants of
his grave on his disfigured body. The trail approaching the tracks in "The Signalman" is a "zig zag descending path". Tension is increased by the
description of the writers descent towards the rail way track"[the path] became oozier and wetter as I went down". This gives the reader the feeling
of sluggishness; the image slows the story down and thus increases the suspense. Unlike "The Red Room" and "The Monkey's Paw", the setting of
"The Telltale Heart" is not significant to building up suspense; however there are a few elements that do contribute to the uneasy atmosphere. Like
"The Red Room" the story is told in the first person. However, the protagonist in "The Red Room" is logical and rational, yet naГЇve: "I can assure
you... it will take a very tangible ghost to frighten me" this gives a warning to the readers that something horrific will happen. His view that that the
mystery of the red room can be explained rationally reflects the time H.G.Wells was writing in: modernity was concerned with replacing belief in

Analysis: Can You Survive A Horror Story
My final project, Can You Survive a Horror Story is a hyperfiction slasher narrative. The story is narrated in first person: the reader is Alex, a
college girl spending a weekend away with her friends. As the story progresses, Alex and her friends begin to be hunted down and killed. In terms of
language, the story was written using very informal language. Since the story is about teenagers, and is narrated by one, the use of colloquial
language seemed appropriate. The story is structured in a way that it has one single beginning. As the murders commence, however, the reader is
presented with choices, in the form of different hyperlinks. Depending on what the reader chooses, they either die or survive. Since the goal of the
story is to survive,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
There is one scenario, for example, where Cheryl survives. For that to happen, the reader would have to choose to stay with Cheryl in the bedroom
instead of going to see the neighbor. After the reader dies, if they choose to go to the afterlife, they'll read how Cheryl escaped and survived. I am
aware that Cheryl's survival is built on a specific scenario that not necessarily all readers would land. The reason I chose to organize the story this
way, is so each reader can have its own experience while reading the story – in accordance with Landow's idea of each reader creating its own path.
Despite it being a linear narrative, the reader can choose how and when the story ends. Another feature included in the story is metafiction. After the
first murder, Alex realizes she is in a horror story. With that realization, Alex begins to talk directly to the reader, pleading for help or criticizing bad
choices. Alex even condemns the writer, denouncing the cliches in the story, and noting how some events in the story are similar to what happens in

Influence of Romanticism in the Contemporary Shows True...
Imagine a life in the 18th century when a revolution is taking place that exercises freedom, emotional liberty and importance of oneself. When the
Romantic Era hit many individuals were becoming aware of a movement of intense emotion and became interested in unfamiliar and exotic
experiences. Many of these experiences in which, brought to light a whole new world of darkness and strong emotions such as apprehension and terror.
Romanticism in the 18th century sparked imagination; Imagination that was perceived as the "ultimate power" (see reference). Fast forwarding to
contemporary culture, many of these examples of romanticism are seen in shows such as True Blood, American Horror Story, and Tim Burton's The

Violet is a girl that is in touch with her gothic side and is more interested in the mansion than scared of it. Violet is misunderstood by many but she
likes Tate because he understands her. Violet says to Tate "I used to think you were like me. You were attracted to the darkness. But Tate, you are
the darkness." This is when she realizes that he is not among the living like she is. There is a scene where she cannot withstand the pressures
anymore and Tate finds her cutting herself. Tate says "You're doing it wrong, if you're trying to kill yourself you cut vertically, they can't stitch that
up". Tate loves Violet, so he does not mind if she dies because that would mean he can stay with her in the mansion forever. That quote coming from
Tate would surprise anyone who hears it because it's a different and creepy type of love that Tate feels for Violet because he wishes death upon
someone he loves. I believe that Romanticism is displayed here in the sense that Violet wants emotional liberty and has a special ghost that supports her
through it. Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas portrays a more kid–friendly aspect of Romanticism. The imagination behind this movie is
remarkable and paints unfamiliar pictures but since it is animated it takes away from it being so scary to more funny. A good portion of the movie is

Elements Of Horror Stories
Hattie Sparks
Sharon A. Russell explains to readers how to decipher horror stories by saying, "Some students think that the best way to examine it is to deal with the
way horror fiction is organized or structured. Examining the organization of a horror story shows that it shared certain traits with other types of
fiction.". She says this in her article "What is a Horror Story". Horror fiction needs to be in a certain order, structured, and have specific horror traits.
Some essential traits to horror she later talks about, are supernatural elements, eerie settings, and suspense. When these elements interact horror is
created. "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs is a horror story because, of the supernatural paw, the setting, and suspense of the story. One important
element of horror is a supernatural trait, which "The Monkey's Paw" does indeed have. The main supernatural trait would be the paw itself. The
history of the paw is stated, by Sergeant–Major Morris, to have had a spell placed on it by a fakir. Sergeant Morris, also told the readers how all the
previous six wishes were answered. Multiple wishes answered using the same process, could not be coincidence. Another reason that this story fits into
the supernatural trait is how Mr. White describes his experience using the paw. He states, "it twisted in my hand like a snake"(pg 110). Only something
supernatural would do this. Lastly, it is not simply a coincidence that when Mr. White wishes for 200 pounds, that it

For young, immature minds the "evidence" can be compelling; YouTube documentaries have been created (Slender Suits by fxscreamer), many forums
and websites have "pictures" of Slenderman (creepypasta, SomethingAwful, Tumblr etc.), and stories written by non–proffessional sources from several
other websites. For those who look further into it, evidence disproving all of this is easily found. If someone were to look up the true origin of
Slenderman, it is clearly stated that it is a fictional character created for a photo contest. After the attempted murder of the Wisconsin girl, Something
Awful even created an article (as blunt and unfeeling as it may be) telling people where Slenderman originates from and pleading with people to not be
stupid and kill in Slenderman's name (Parsons). Using the baloney detection kit (or any form of common sense for that matter), any "evidence" that

When it comes to a show I always look for something lighthearted. In my opinion the best shows are the ones that are funny, a bit relatable, have

American Horror Story: Cult's Advertising
"What's the thing that scares you the most?"("Election Night"). American Horror Story is a horror–drama anthology series created by Brad Falchuk
and Ryan Murphy that frequently bastardized history and folklore by terrorizing its viewers. It has consistently kept fans on their toes. The series has
often nodes to the coming season's theme with hints on its finales, as well as pre–season promos, teasers, and advertisements that loosely provide
context for the upcoming season, commonly avoiding or limiting text in their advertisements. American Horror Story: Cult is based on the "hive
mentality," where people lose their individuality from a type of brainwashing, where people are manipulated through their fears. As such, the
marketing campaign for American Horror Story: Cult is widely successful and deliberately tries to invoke a sense of fear, uneasiness, and horror in
their viewers. As a reference to this, American Horror Story: Cult's advertisements are focused on marketing toward two main phobias; coulrophobia
and trypophobia. Coulrophobia is an extreme or irrational fear of clowns. In the series it is used as a metaphor for paranoia and anarchy. The fear of

Billy notices in the guest book that there has not been a guest at the inn for over two years. Automatically, Billy starts to question if he should stay;
however he, ends up disregarding it. This is suspense because, at most hotels and inns, there is usually more the one guest staying at a time. While
this is just a bed and breakfast, and there could only be one guest there, it is quite odd for two years to go by without any guests. Then, Billy had a
second thought. He had recognized those names stated in the guest book. He had thought he may have seen there names before, possibly a
newspaper or something. The second Billy brought this up in conversation, the old women ignored him and, the topic was not brought up again. It is
also odd for the women to not say a thing about the previous guests. At the beginning of the story, Billy strolls through a run down neighborhood.
After that he finds this Bed and Breakfast. As Billy is walking up to the house, he gets this strange feeling of doubt. This odd feeling was almost
preventing him from wanting to go inside the bed and breakfast. Billy almost turned around and headed back toward the hotel he was heading to.
However, he ended up ignoring this, and headed on in to the bed and breakfast. When reading a horror story, don't look just for a scary supernatural

American Horror Story

  • 1. American Horror Story American Horror Story is a television show created by the brilliant Ryan Murphy. The show has an interesting format which consisted of every season being a new story with new characters. Sometimes actors would come back with new parts, and others would leave and come back later. This format keeps the show fresh and interesting, with each season feeling like a new show completely. Season 3 of American Horror Story was labeled "Coven." A season set in New Orleans involving two tribes of witches, both of which being said to have sprang from Salem. At first this had confused me, are they saying all magic comes from Tituba in Salem? Europe has a history of magic, this doesn't make sense. After finding an interview with Ryan Murphy, he explained that it was just that one bloodline had come from Salem, but that there were other bloodlines that had come from other areas as well. The two tribes focused on in the series is Marie Laveau and her voodoo magic in the lower 9th ward, as well as a school of young ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... While Bassett has become a staple in the AHS world, playing a total of 3 characters so far, the other characters feel like a waste of her talent. Marie Laveau is a famous name known around the world as the Voodoo Queen. A historical figure Marie was known for immortality, her magic, chasing away other voodoo priestesses in New Orleans, as well as the mysterious disappearance of one of her husbands. While the legend can be argued all day long, in factual accounts she not only used her money to free slaves, but she took in many children that had no parents. She was quite the role model for women and African Americans at the time. In American Horror Story she plays the sworn enemy of Fiona Goode and her coven. After her people were gunned down she turns to them for their help, and it doesn't end well for Marie. A badass from the beginning she is a great character to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

ВЁi won't ВЁi said, ВЁnothing to worry about, i have my flamethrower and com link, what could happen?ВЁ Firecracker could tell Josh wasn't convinced, but he left anyway. As he left, Firecracker turned and started making his way down the opposite hall, he saw the sign for the stairs and cautiously pushed through the door, not a zombie in sight, as he made his way up, he kept his back to the wall, so no one could sneak up on him.

As Firecracker stared, she started to moan, she doubled over, her skin turning a dull green, the bite mark turning purple. Firecracker had heard about the process but he had never seen it before, then the new zombie looked up and growled at him, causing the big one to turn, as they looked at him hungrily, he pulled the trigger on the fire thrower, but he forgot about the kick back caused by the blast, as the zombies were disintegrated, he was thrown backwards, where he found he had not been as unnoticed as he had hoped, a large group of zombies stared down at him, as he looked up, ВЁjust my luckВЁ he said and a zombie swung its foot at him and hit his temple, instant knockout.

  • 3. Fear Like It By Stephen King: A Short Story Of Horror Horror Stories are a very popular genre of books. Some can be exceptionally malicious and gruesome in nature while others are tamer and rely on suspense. People tend to read these stories for the adrenaline rush, to explore the unknown, and to conquer their own adversities. Studies show that us as humans like to experience fear. We read and view scary stories so we can experience artificial situations of "fight or flight." These scenarios, whether real or imagined, get your body ready for action by giving you an extra dose of adrenaline. The thrill and suspense that hangs over us while reading, is a welcomed feeling. Scary stories also allow us to explore the unknown. In books there are boundless supernatural realms, where wonder and horror walk side by side– realms were people rise from the dead, and fight their own ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In horror stories there is just enough mystery to make you want to know more, and enough danger to make you glad this is fiction. Scary stories can allow people to conquer their own adversities. We all have our demons, things we're afraid of but don't want to admit. Some horror novels play on common fears like IT by: Stephen King which uses clowns as the source for fear, Chucky which features menacing dolls and Contagion which portrays rampant pestilence. By vicariously facing your fears in a novel, you're able to tame them in real life. Sometimes even watching a character deal with the monster uplifts you to face your own fears. The concept of gruesome entertainment is all in human psychology. In order for us to be entertained, we have to feel the story being told. Scary stories bring us the adrenaline rush, the exploration of the unknown, and even the upliftment we all crave. Luckily the monsters in these stories are all fiction and cannot harm us in real life. Until they show up the next night, waiting for you in the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Compare And Contrast The American Horror Story And The... American Horror Story and the Amazing World of Gumball Compared Ryan Murphy's anthology American Horror Story shows a side of evil and darkness that none of us could ever imagine. Ben Bocquelet's animated TV show The Amazing World of Gumball represents that unordinary, innocent part of ourselves that we often forget about. In this paper, I will be comparing the similarities and the differences of the two, drastically different shows. American Horror Story (AHS) has a malevolent, dystopian view on the environment and those in it, while The Amazing World of Gumball (Gumball) tries to pull off a more welcoming, friendly stance. AHS tends to focus more on the negatives and the evil in the world like murder, illegal drugs, alcohol, lying, manipulation, and abuse. The show's story can be written in some of the bluntest ways as possible. There is no beating around the bush or hiding under the blanket. Gumball gives a display of happiness and a fantasy of what our childhoods could be like. The joy and fun of being a child is shown in a way that younger kids tend to overlook. The view of the show normally comes off as "fun, innocent humor." AHS's way of presentation is meant to give off an antiutopian type of reality to appeal to those who enjoy or find interest in the twisted side of life. Gumball is animated the way it is to have a stronger appeal to children and give off that vibe of utopia and being carefree. AHS's characters' contain those dark, gloomy characteristics that ...

  • 5. The Horror Genre in Stories of Stevenson and Greene Essay The Horror Genre in Stories of Stevenson and Greene R.L Stevenson's 'The Body–Snatcher' and Graham Greene's 'The End Of The party' are both short stories that are a part of the horror genre, despite differing in many ways. Throughout this essay, I am going to compare the differences and the similarities between the two horror stories. I will assess the way the writers use certain aspects that are part of the horror genre to make their story have an impact on the reader and have the ability to captivate their reader and keep them engrossed in the story. I will be focusing on specific areas within each story including, setting, structure, atmosphere, suspense, endings and also the different types ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The use of isolated areas can be associated with sinister goings on and can add again to the reader's uneasiness and fear. Also innocent victims can make the reader feel scared and more vulnerable, as it demonstrates that bad things can happen to anyone. Twists in horror stories are very common and both these horror stories contain different twists that can shock the reader. 'The Body–Snatcher' is a more typical horror story containing many of these things that I have mentioned. On the other hand, 'The End Of The Party' differs to 'The Body–Snatcher', with it being more to do with the mind and appearing quite everyday, and not containing as many of the typical horror components. But both 'The Body–Snatcher' and 'The End Of The Party' can be placed in the horror genre as they contain the vital components that make a good horror story. 'The Body–Snatcher' is quite self–explanatory in the title and is about body snatching. It begins "in the small parlour of the George at Debenham" where we meet the main character, Fettes. Fettes has an encounter with someone from his past – Macfarlane, who he is obviously not pleased to see for reasons unknown to the reader at this stage. At the mention of Macfarlane's name "Fettes became instantly sober", this immediately tells the reader of something that has gone on in the past that may have been unpleasant to ...

  • 8. Transformations In Horror Story : House Taken Over By... Transformations in Horror Stories The fear creeping up my skin as goosebumps begin to appear with the first steps into a haunted house filled with monsters, screams, and darkness. The weird smells and sounds and occasional air blasts lead to a rush or adrenaline, which create a dreadful sensation. The idea of having someone creep up behind me causes my spine to tingle and the hairs on my neck to rise. Fear is an inevitable emotion that comes in various forms whether it be monsters, Gothic elements, or transformations within stories. Through the three short stories, the readers are introduced to the effects that the transformations in the mood, characters, and setting have on the tension and build of fear in the readers. Changes in the mood can affect how the reader views a story and the aura that the story gives off whether it be a calming or spooky feeling. In the short story "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortazar, the author conveys a change in the mood through an ordinary environment with ordinary characters that are suddenly disturbed by elements of fantasy, which builds up a feeling of uncertainty in the readers. One night, the narrator hears noises from the other side of their house as "the sound came through muted and indistinct" (39). The idea that the noises might return and take over more sections should stir an emotion of paranoia, completely different from the previous mood of tranquility; however, the narrator and Irene seem to believe that this is normal and ...

Alive anyway. He had already survived two days with his family. His second night in his new home, what could possibly happen? A whispered name. The boy stirs in his sleep. A pale, vaporous moon lights the room. Shadows are deep. He twists his head, turning towards the window so that his face becomes a soft mask, unblemished, colourless. But the boy's dream is troubled; beneath his lids, his eyes dart to and fro. The whispered name: 'Daniel....' Its sound is distant. The boy frowns; yet the voice is within his own slumber, a ...

He twists the handle, the metal's coldness leaping along his arm like iced energy released from a source. The shock is mild against the damp chill of his own body. He pulls the door open and the darkness beyond is more dense; it seems to swell into the bedroom, a waxing shadow. He shrinks away, reluctant to allow contact with this fresh darkness. His vision adjusts, and the inkiness scatters as if weakened by its own sudden growth. He advances again, passing through the doorway to stand shivering on the landing overlooking the staircase. To descend this would be like sinking into the blackest of all pits, for darkness down there appears final. Still the hushed whisper urges:

There is no sound from their room; grief has exhausted their bodies as well as their spirit. He stares into the centre of the darkness below, terribly compelled to descend.

But, like any big family get together, there are always things that will go wrong. Read these Thanksgiving horror stories, and be glad that they haven't happened to you, or if they have, be happy knowing that you're not the only one to have suffered the same misfortune. 1. Dropped the turkey Every Thanksgiving cook's worst nightmare is something going wrong with the turkey. It's the centerpiece of the meal and what people are most looking forward to. Having a fully cooked turkey means that as a cook you've bypassed the first potential horror story, but you still have to get the turkey from the roasting pan onto a serving platter. One mom was in charge of cooking the turkey for her entire extended family. She and her teenaged daughter were in the kitchen and she was taking the turkey from the roasting pan to put it on a serving dish, except the turkey slipped and crashed to the floor. Mother and daughter looked at each other with mouths gaping, but then the mother picked the turkey up with both hands and put it on the serving platter. She looked at her daughter again and uttered with quiet steel, "Nothing happened." (–– removed HTML ––) 2.

  • 12. Society : A Horror Story Essay Society: A horror story. Human beings, as a whole, have generated more than enough speculation as to the origins of mortal nature. Why are we they way we are? Why do we do the things we do or feel the way we feel? Scientists and philosophers have almost always dedicated their causes to the study of biology or religion, continuously giving humanity's gender, sexuality and identity a basis from a scientific or religious perspective. Science is supposed to be correct. After all, that IS the basis of science. Yet how many times has the worldthought to be flat and proved wrong? And the sun, which was thought to be revolving around the earth, was proven incorrect? The theory of social construction seems to be a new introduction to the way we see the world. It is largely possible that a brainwashing through society and media plays a large part of the social disparity between men and women or straight and queer people. Perhaps the innate idea that declares from such a young age that we are to be brought up based on our gender truly has very little to do with science and is instead, based on us as a human race? Social construction theory plays on this idea, accusing society of indoctrination through media, literature, and a sense of 'normalcy' A standard view gender's will cause a belief that a mother is made to be maternal, a caregiver, a kind and weak aura while much opposite to the father figure, who is meant to be a brute of physical strength and intelligence.

  • 13. Horror Stories by Stevenson and Greene Essay Horror Stories by Stevenson and Greene Horror stories are an excellent traditional genre. This genre has been around for almost as long as stories have been told. In this generation there is not much that can really scare us, but what does actually make a good horror story? Horror stories need to have a good and intimidating storyline, it needs to play on people's fears, it also needs to give its audience a real thrill and send chills down their spines. The horror story may be based on phobias, superstitions, murder or science fiction.

This also helps create a daunting atmosphere. Also a specific setting maybe associated with horror such as a graveyard or a marooned big castle, when this type of setting is used it creates an even better atmosphere, as the reader recognises the setting and associates it with horror. In successful horror stories assorted types of characters is used, this mixture is fairly important in the making of a good horror story. This mixture is imperative as using various characters allows the author to explore different aspects of people's personalities, which can be used to explore the menacing side of people's personality, and the author can also explore how other humans interact with the scary side to someone's personality.

  • 15. The Press Released Horror Stories United States. In Kenya, the press released horror stories of what the Mau Mau rebels did to colonists to destroy support for them among both the British back home, and potential rebels in Kenya. International news reported Kikuyu attacks on settlers as "fanatical," "degraded," "bestial," and "satanic" (Robbins 295). Such press reports denied the Mau Mau rebels their own voice in the international conversation and turned potential sources of support against them. However, just as the press has the power to deny support to indigenous resistance, so it can lend support.

Native Americans have ongoing, nonviolent struggles with the United States government over land, money, education, healthcare, and legal rights. Maxus has regular dealings with ONHAE that are nonviolent, yet they are a form of resistance because ONHAE is in itself a resistance. Those that are protested against may not understand the protest; Robbins writes that the British could think of no reason that the Mau Mau would rebel, and so they blamed the Mau Mau oath (Robbins 297). When two cultures collide, it is reasonable to assume that one (or both) will not understand the other; there is often little attempt to understand the indigenous culture, as shown by missionary attempts to educate indigenous people away from their traditional cultures. The inability to understand each other, or perhaps the lack of an attempt to, may also be a leading cause for the violent reactions that foreign parties have had to indigenous resistance. The Huaorani are such a small group that open rebellion like the Mau Mau's would be totally illogical. Instead, they have tried going the legal route, and, in doing so, have attempted to create a cross–cultural understanding by educating the leaders of ONHAE to interact with outsiders. ONHAE is an organization of resistance, yet it works semi–cooperatively with those that it was organized to resist. This seeming paradox ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 17. Examples Of Foreshadowing In Horror Stories A key element in horror stories is foreshadowing. Foreshadowing will make readers want to read more and it will also create suspense. Foreshadowing is nearly same in horror stories. Foreshadowing in horror stories such as "THE LANDLADY", "THE MONKEY'S PAW" and "THE TELL– TALE HEARTS" and "The Hitchhiker" are very important and creates suspense for the readers which makes the readers want to read more. The Landlady is mystery story written by Roald Dahl and incorporates lots of foreshadowing. The first foreshadowing I found was when Bill pressed the doorbell and in a second, the Landlady popped out of the door – according to the Landlady text, lines 113– 118. This seems weird because normally you have to wait half– minute before the door opens (lines 119–120) but this seems like she is waiting next to door so someone would show up. Next, one foreshadowing you may have missed was when the Landlady interrupted what Billy was saying and was trying to change the topic, according to lines 363– 373, "Now wait a minute," he said. "Wait just a minute. Mulholland ... Christopher Mulholland ... wasn't that the name of the Eton schoolboy who was on a walking–tour through the West Country, and then all of a sudden ..."– Billy Milk?" she said. "And sugar?"– Landlady.

  • 19. A Short Story : The Purpose Of A Horror Story The purpose of a horror story is to entertain and scare the reader into believing that fictional stories could happen in real life. The ending to a horror story can either make the story or break the story, leaving the author with the task of creating an ending as horrifying as the story that was just read. There are many different ways an author can craft an ending to their horror story in order to accentuate the works' horrific effects. The different endings are shown throughout four different authors and five different works. Different themes, motifs, and symbols have all been used in order to bring horrific works to life for the readers, but their effects all come together to induce fear and strengthen the endings of the stories, leaving readers and viewers with frightening images of the fate that found the main characters. The different works use themes of unavoidable fate, hopelessness, and ambiguity to strengthen the horrific effects in the endings of their stories. In Daphne du Maurier's, "Don't Look Now," the ending raises the hopes of the audience that there will be a happy ending for John and his family, only to have it taken away in a cruel twist of fate. The short story is centered around John and Laura, a couple who is on holiday after the devastation of losing their daughter to a deadly bout of meningitis.

Scooby Doo is a wonderful example of silly mysteries, entertaining the audience with different suspects in a criminal scenario. The audience can speculate and try to guess who committed the crime throughout the entire story, paying attention to the hints that the author, or constructor of the story, gives them. If an audience member can learn how to pay attention to little details that the author is giving them, and pick up on small things that are being said by certain people, they can often come to find out who is the suspect, or at least come very close. This is part of what makes mysteries so entertaining. Furthermore, the author can make their mystery even more interesting by leading the reader in a certain direction. They can persuade the reader to believe that a certain person is guilty by dropping hints here and there. In Paul Haven's excerpt from "The Curse of the Poisoned Pretzel", Haven leads the reader to believe that Skidmore is guilty of poisoning his brother Manchester by describing Skidmore's background, Manchester's background, and Skidmore's later actions.

  • 36. Personal Narrative: Pretty Little Liars And American... I decided to write a narrative as there are many genres that I have not yet explored such as crime and romance. The story 'vacancy', consists of a romantic couple and their experience with crime, however both characters are withholding large secrets from one another. I was influenced by the TV series Pretty Little Liars and American Horror Story as they both contain murder and supernatural themes. The purpose of this narrative was to develop my writing skills by creating my first crime story while avoiding clichГ©. The goal was to portray a realistic relationship with an underlying serial killer theme. This was achieved through Anthea who had a more casual approach to relationships, which is demonstrated in paragraph one, "I duck under his ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 37. Elements Of Horror Stories Hattie Sparks Sharon A. Russell explains to readers how to decipher horror stories by saying, "Some students think that the best way to examine it is to deal with the way horror fiction is organized or structured. Examining the organization of a horror story shows that it shared certain traits with other types of fiction.". She says this in her article "What is a Horror Story". Horror fiction needs to be in a certain order, structured, and have specific horror traits. Some essential traits to horror she later talks about, are supernatural elements, eerie settings, and suspense. When these elements interact horror is created. "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs is a horror story because, of the supernatural paw, the setting, and suspense of the story. One important element of horror is a supernatural trait, which "The Monkey's Paw" does indeed have. The main supernatural trait would be the paw itself. The history of the paw is stated, by Sergeant–Major Morris, to have had a spell placed on it by a fakir. Sergeant Morris, also told the readers how all the previous six wishes were answered. Multiple wishes answered using the same process, could not be coincidence. Another reason that this story fits into the supernatural trait is how Mr. White describes his experience using the paw. He states, "it twisted in my hand like a snake"(pg 110). Only something supernatural would do this. Lastly, it is not simply a coincidence that when Mr. White wishes for 200 pounds, that it ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 38. The Horror Story Of Slender Man Coming into the 21st century, we have come up with a new way to shed light upon one of our scariest nightmares. The new "boogeyman" that has swept across the nation and the world is called, Slenderman. He is an unusually tall and slender man dressed in a nice suit. He doesn't seem scary at first until you see his, well, lack of a face. Even then, he doesn't seem that scary until you hear the stories. Slenderman stalks and psychologically torments his victims (who are usually children) for long periods of time until he takes his victim in his long tentacles, which grow from his shoulder blades, and he drags them to another dimension where he consumes them ("Slender Man" The Wiki). These tales are just scary stories to strike a new fear into ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... For young, immature minds the "evidence" can be compelling; YouTube documentaries have been created (Slender Suits by fxscreamer), many forums and websites have "pictures" of Slenderman (creepypasta, SomethingAwful, Tumblr etc.), and stories written by non–proffessional sources from several other websites. For those who look further into it, evidence disproving all of this is easily found. If someone were to look up the true origin of Slenderman, it is clearly stated that it is a fictional character created for a photo contest. After the attempted murder of the Wisconsin girl, Something Awful even created an article (as blunt and unfeeling as it may be) telling people where Slenderman originates from and pleading with people to not be stupid and kill in Slenderman's name (Parsons). Using the baloney detection kit (or any form of common sense for that matter), any "evidence" that Slenderman is real, is unsubstantial, as it is. Photographs, stories and videos are all dismissible due to how easily they can be manipulated into fallacies. The substantial evidence for the existence of a Slenderman type creature is truly ...

  • 39. American Horror Story Evaluation American Horror Story Evaluation When it comes to a show I always look for something lighthearted. In my opinion the best shows are the ones that are funny, a bit relatable, have great character development, and overall just uplift your spirits. Shows like this are hard to come by; there are some old ones that I've come to enjoy such as Friends and The Office, but lately I have yet to find a show that fits my normal preferences. I have spent months watching Friends over and over again, but that gets boring after a while, so I decided to step out of my comfort zone and find a show I wouldn't usually watch. I decided to try American Horror Story completely aware that it doesn't fit into what I normally look for. To my surprise, I really enjoyed the show. It's has some scary moments, but nothing too horrifying. The setting, mood, music, characters, and general atmosphere of the show is meant to give a spooky vibe and does just that, but it also goes much deeper and appeases all kinds of audiances. The American Horror Story wasn't created to be funny, and while it has its moments, for the most part it's not. However, it is very engaging. It draws you in with the characters and their development. It's oddly relatable. Rape, miscarriage, suicide, homicide, drugs, and all kinds of other issues are talked about ...

It has some scenes that could make people uncomfortable such as rape or homicide; it is not for the faint of heart. Just know what you are sensitive to before going into it. But if you can get past those things, it is a really great show. It is very intriguing and has a complex plot. The characters become like a family to you. As someone who is very picky about what she watches, I am completely in love with this show. I will continue to watch it as long as it ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 40. Horror Story Research Paper Horror stories have multiple effects on everyone. Some people loved to be scared to have the fight–or–flight response. Others don't like to be scared because sometimes it can sometimes permanently make you scared of something and you'll never be able to do it again. Horror movies and stories do have to throw in some twists and turns that are scary just to keep the audience interested so they will keep watching the movie or reading the story. In stories like "beware: don't read this poem", they say, "The U.S bureau of missing persons report... 100,000 people disappeared." It shows that people get lost all the time and sometimes they just get lost in something and can't get out. It doesn't mean that they get lost literally, it means they may...

Well, she then touched the doll and all you can see is her moving her eyes and showing that she is a doll. It transformed from being all happy and going good, to bad and now she can't move and being scared. I've seen many movies where transformation plays a big role in the scary part of the movie. Just like it was in the movie "The Sixth Sense" when it plays out like Malcolm is real the whole time. Just at the end, it shows Malcolm was a ghost the whole time which was shocking to everyone. It just twisted the audience's mind when that happened at the end of the movie. Transformation in that movie is what made everyone want to keep watching to figure out how and why something in the movie happened. In conclusion, transformation plays a big role in movies and stories, especially in horror. It keeps the audience interested in the movie or story and it keeps them on their toes to figure out how and why that certain thing may have happened a way it did. So ask this, how would a movie or story be like without transformation in it? Do you think it would be as good as movies and stories today that have transformation in ...

  • 41. American Horror Story: Cult's Advertising "What's the thing that scares you the most?"("Election Night"). American Horror Story is a horror–drama anthology series created by Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy that frequently bastardized history and folklore by terrorizing its viewers. It has consistently kept fans on their toes. The series has often nodes to the coming season's theme with hints on its finales, as well as pre–season promos, teasers, and advertisements that loosely provide context for the upcoming season, commonly avoiding or limiting text in their advertisements. American Horror Story: Cult is based on the "hive mentality," where people lose their individuality from a type of brainwashing, where people are manipulated through their fears. As such, the marketing campaign for American Horror Story: Cult is widely successful and deliberately tries to invoke a sense of fear, uneasiness, and horror in their viewers. As a reference to this, American Horror Story: Cult's advertisements are focused on marketing toward two main phobias; coulrophobia and trypophobia. Coulrophobia is an extreme or irrational fear of clowns. In the series it is used as a metaphor for paranoia and anarchy. The fear of clowns has been... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

As she flees, three men dressed as clowns are carrying weapons, they whistle as they follow behind her. As she slows down, the clowns catch up to her; she is suddenly surrounded by five clowns. The additional two clowns come from the direction that she was running toward. The screen then turns black, leaving a single message: AHS Cult.

  • 42. The Landlady: A Horror Story Can you really identify what a horror story is? A horror story does not have to have a vampire, or a zombie, or any supernatural being to be classified as horror. The Landlady is a horror story because it is suspenseful, it has elements of the supernatural, and the setting is scary. During the beginning of the story, the setting was scary, but as the story went on it got cheerier. As the book stated, the neighborhood that Billy was walking through was run down. Buildings had paint chipping off the sides, and it was dark. Overall, that is not a very warm feeling to have while strolling through a neighborhood. However, when Billy arrived at the woman's house, suddenly the scene changed. Upon walking through the front door, Billy saw flowers... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Billy notices in the guest book that there has not been a guest at the inn for over two years. Automatically, Billy starts to question if he should stay; however he, ends up disregarding it. This is suspense because, at most hotels and inns, there is usually more the one guest staying at a time. While this is just a bed and breakfast, and there could only be one guest there, it is quite odd for two years to go by without any guests. Then, Billy had a second thought. He had recognized those names stated in the guest book. He had thought he may have seen there names before, possibly a newspaper or something. The second Billy brought this up in conversation, the old women ignored him and, the topic was not brought up again. It is also odd for the women to not say a thing about the previous guests. At the beginning of the story, Billy strolls through a run down neighborhood. After that he finds this Bed and Breakfast. As Billy is walking up to the house, he gets this strange feeling of doubt. This odd feeling was almost preventing him from wanting to go inside the bed and breakfast. Billy almost turned around and headed back toward the hotel he was heading to. However, he ended up ignoring this, and headed on in to the bed and breakfast. When reading a horror story, don't look just for a scary supernatural being.
