Sneaking Horror - while the wife's away. A Day in the Life of Horror. From film to print to gaming to crafts and collectibles, horror has always been my thing and that is no secret.

Pinocchio was a murderer, the dark origins of a few famous tales. Most Disney stories have wonderful happily ever after endings which is all well and good, but the tales are far from the truth.
Tales like Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty and even Snow White have origins that were far more sinister and dark and intended to be read by adults. Here at Staying Scared, where loitering in the shadows listening to the clock toll midnight is the norm, the disturbing and ominous side is much more appealing and thus, the horrific truth of these tales, while unsettling, are fa.

A Tale of Two Horrors. Being often asked whether there have been any movies that really scared yours truly, I thought I would commit to an official answer Way back when, Chiller Theater made me a horror addict and since then the thrill of being frightened has chronically enveloped my life.

Bergholz - a creepy tale. This is the water tower from my hometown and was the inspiration for this tale.
Hope you enjoy it. The article, spanning a little over a month of research, was finally finished.
He sat back, looked at the words on the screen and smiled. These articles were tremendously redundant and repetitive, and each needed to include a certain amount of keywords. However, no matter how boring they were, I was finally allowing that writing itch to be scratched and even getting paid to do it. So, I kept writing away. Although the subjects constantly changed, the basis did not and I found myself growing stagnant with the tedious subject matter and striving to write what I wanted to write.
Of course there was no way I was giving up a paying writing gig either. So, to combat the dilemma I started to branch out a bit and write little personal pieces about things like the time I visited the Evans City graveyard where Night of the Living Dead was filmed , movies that scared me, opinion articles and all sorts of things. These little ditties I posted on various websites, one being American Chronicle. Well, it was one of those articles that seemed to start the theoretical snowball rolling with a piece called The Daytona Beach Alphabet , a positive piece utilizing the complete alphabet from A to Z, A is for, B is for, and so on , detailing aspects and events associated with the Daytona Beach area.
A few days after posting I received an email requesting to use the piece for the Daytona Beach Visitors and Convention Bureau website blog. About this time, an odd little squirrel started showing up at my window daily and I placed a pile of peanuts on the sill for him. Subsequently, every single morning while I was banging away on the keyboard, he would show up, sit back on his hind haunches, peer in through the window at me and enjoy the peanut treat.

Coincidently, this grew into hand feeding and there is even a video of this on YouTube under Notch Comes to Get a Peanut. I might add that the website is no longer. I then received a telephone call from an editor at the Daytona Beach News Journal wanting to speak with me about potentially becoming a freelance correspondent. Well, to make a long story short, eventually the newspaper was bought out and I lost that gig.
But, I had a taste of what being a writer was all about and knew it was what I wanted to do.
64 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Grief
Obviously, with the loss of the gig came a loss of income and I needed to find another income source. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise since by now I had been fully immersed in writing for a couple of years and, although there was no way I was going to stop writing, the walls had begun to close in.
I needed something that would afford me the opportunity to occasionally get me away from the front of a computer and writing altogether. So, I obtained a job at a grocery store and it was while working at this job that I became focused and began to tap the horror vein. Growing up, I had always been a fan of fright. I read books and comics, usually Creepy and Eerie , devoured every issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland I could get my hands on and built the old Aurora monster models Creature from the Black Lagoon , Forgotten Prisoner , Dracula , Frankenstein , and even the Guillotine.
Anyways, while working at this grocery store I found my niche, started writing dark tales and entered into horror fiction. Regardless, I wrote and submitted and started being accepted. For those who are interested; Welcome was my first horror fiction to be accepted and it was with Suspense Magazine. So, it was at this job that, while working in various departments, I became good friends with a number of people, subsequently and subconsciously learning their characteristics.
Then the idea of The Daily Death fictional concept struck after one of my bosses, my favorite , had casually mentioned riding his motorcycle at a very high rate of speed without a helmet.

As I fearfully considered the prospect of him splattered across a highway, due to this, and even had the tale fleshed out in my mind, I inquired as to his thoughts about me writing his fictional death. I suppose I was actually sort of thinking that if he was to read a gruesome tale featuring his violently crashing motorcycle death, he might reconsider the repercussions of tempting fate in this manner. Well, he understood my concept but not the meaning or reasoning and had no problem with me using him to write the tale. As a matter of fact, he even encouraged. So, even though, in all honesty I was somewhat hesitant that karma thing with the exercise, I wrote and posted the scene on my blog http: Originally, this death scene was only intended to be a single exercise in creative writing in order to hone my craft.
