       HORROR ANTHOLOGY
       The creepy, crawly, uncomfortable tales of what the dark hides
       "... so burn your candle low, lest the light fade away and what
       lurks in the dark is invited in"
       ========
       Mirror Man
       Take on Bloody Mary story. Kid testing out a ghost story. "It's
       me in the mirror, not the mangled man"
       Candle goes out ... boy struggles but gets it lit. mangled man
       is reaching out from mirror "so close"
       Mom heard outside calling for boy ... boy tells her to stay out
       and not open the door
       she opens and the draft puts the candle back out ... NOOOOOO,
       gnarly sound effects
       Mom flicks light on and "AAAGHAHAGHAGHAAAAAA" screams in terror
       as boy is mangled on the bathroom floor
       Whispering Woods
       Old wive's tale of something in the woods. Two girls go to
       investigate, each holding a candle to light the way
       In the woods they start hearing faint whispers calling their
       name and telling them to do bad things "wear her flesh, eat her
       eyes"
       They turn to run and one of their candles goes out ... they
       stop, frozen hoping the remaining candle stays lit
       It flickers out ... days go by, a group of hikers come across
       horror scene of one girl eating the other muttering "eat her
       eyes"
       The Dollhouse
       A family moves into a new home and discovers a creepy,
       intricately detailed dollhouse in the attic that mimics their
       own house down to the smallest detail (illumanited by candle).
       Little girl plays with dollhouse until the candle burns out,
       when dark hears sounds from dollhouse ... re-lights and sees
       horror scene of father and brother in dollhouse, then mother
       screams
       Rushes downstairs and sees exact scene in real life ... tells
       mom it happened in the dollhouse, she saw it after she re-lit
       the candle
       In attic shows mom, mom is horrified and while saying let's go
       blows out candle (little girl yelling no no mom don't) ...
       sounds again, mom crying out for little girl, re-lights candle
       sees scene in dollhouse
       Looks over and sees she killed daughter
