The scene of Final destination when the log falls off the truck, right before it smashes into a car. "POV: It's 2003 and you're about to acquire a phobia that will last the rest of your life"

A black and white meme showing five women in white dresses in different poses. The image has labels pointing to each figure: 'horror movies', 'horror books', 'goth music', 'witchcraft', and 'me' (showing the figure lying down dramatically).

Love Joe Hill's portrayal of ghosts in Heart-Shaped Box, the absolute alien otherness gets me every time - its uncanny and disturbing and lives rent-free in my head.

A humorous meme showing a young child wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset, while an adult holds up a PS4 "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" game case. The caption reads: "Me as a parent: She thinks she's playing the new Minecraft," implying the child is unaware they're actually playing a horror game instead of Minecraft.

Still one of my all-time favorite ghost stories. Kubrick really did it no justice turning it into more of a study on isolation and insanity, sure that was one of the crucial beats, but the hotel was supposed to be haunted as hell.

As she continued to watch, she became aware of the subtle scents in the air. The dominant fragrance was a delicate floral perfume, perhaps jasmine or gardenia, worn by the ladies. Mingled with it was the sharp, clean scent of beeswax from the candles burning in the chandeliers, and a hint of something else, something warm and spicy, like cinnamon or cloves, possibly coming from the refreshments she could see laid out on a long table at the far end of the room. It was an intoxicating blend, evoking a sense of luxury and celebration. But beneath it, so faint she almost missed it, was another scent, like old paper, or dried flowers, left too long in a vase. -Blackwood Manor, Robert W. Hawthorne

Two plastic containers displaying dolls for sale. The left container is red with a green sign reading "Maybe Haunted Dolls $2.95" and the right container is also red with an orange sign reading "NOT Haunted Dolls $9.99". Both containers contain various vintage-style dolls with creepy porcelain faces and different outfits.

A minimalist black and white line drawing with red accents showing what appears to be a nativity scene with a dark twist. Instead of a traditional stable scene, menacing red Lovecraftian tentacles emerge from where the manger would be, reaching upward with spiky, threatening appendages. Simple stick figures representing the traditional nativity figures (shepherds, animals) stand beneath these tentacles, creating an unsettling juxtaposition. A red star appears in the top right corner. The text reads "JOY TO THE WORLD" and "THE LORD IS COME," adding an ominous tone to the traditionally joyful message.

"Book cover for 'Blackwood Manor: A Ghost Story' by Robert W. Hawthorne. A grand Victorian hallway stretches into darkness, lined with ornate columns and wall sconces glowing with ethereal blue-green light. The vaulted ceiling features a brilliant starburst of light, casting eerie shadows. The title is split by two striking red lines, like scratches across the image. Below, a pool of otherworldly light illuminates the polished floor, creating an unsettling glow. The color palette contrasts deep reds against supernatural turquoise, enhancing the gothic horror atmosphere
