In English folklore, Black Shuck is a huge spectral black dog said to roam East Anglia.
Some stories describe glowing eyes. Imagine seeing THAT on a lonely road at night.

There’s something wonderfully unsettling about the Autumn Equinox: for one brief moment, light and darkness are equal. Then the nights begin to take over.
Perfect weather for ghost stories.

Harvest festivals weren't always cozy celebrations. Across Europe, the final harvest could be surrounded by rituals meant to appease spirits believed to remain in the fields after the crops were gathered.

In Japanese folklore, autumn is associated with Higan, a Buddhist period around the equinox when the boundary between the living and the dead is traditionally considered especially close.
A beautiful tradition… with a slightly eerie edge.

🍂 The Autumn Equinox is a strange threshold: day and night are briefly balanced before darkness begins to win. No wonder so many traditions connected this season with spirits, harvest rituals and the world beyond.

If you like horror that feels like a nightmare you can't quite explain, try The Cipher by Kathe Koja. Dark, strange and wonderfully unsettling.

The Wailing (2016) is the kind of horror movie that makes you question what you actually saw. Mystery, folklore, possession and an atmosphere that gets under your skin.

September question: what's the ONE horror book, movie or game you'd recommend to someone who wants to get into the genre?
No explanations. Just one title. Let's build a terrifying list. 🖤

Horror recommendation: Session 9 (2001).
No monsters, no cheap jump scares—just an abandoned asylum and a growing sense that something is terribly wrong.
Have you seen it?

¿ZOMBIS Y VAMPIROS EN ESPAÑA? Durante mucho tiempo se ha dicho que no existen “vampiros" en el folclore popular español. Pero lo cierto es que siempre han estado ahí. Escondidos en obras y novelas clásicas que todos conocemos... 🧵👇

In Irish folklore, a banshee's cry was an omen of death—not necessarily the cause of it. Imagine hearing someone crying outside your house at night and knowing what it meant…

One thing I love about horror: it can turn almost anything into a nightmare. A doll. A photograph. A swimming pool. A radio. A forest. Even a perfectly normal family dinner.
What's the strangest thing you've seen turned into horror?

September is when horror starts creeping back into everything: colder evenings, darker skies, empty streets after sunset… and suddenly every shadow looks suspicious. 🍂🌙
Honestly? I missed this. 🖤

Horror art recommendation: take a look at the paintings of Francisco de Goya, especially The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters.
Centuries later, that title still feels like a perfect horror premise.

There are few things creepier than a children's story that wasn't actually written for children.
Fairy tales are full of wolves, curses, cannibalism, ghosts and things hiding in the woods.
