Don't forget that the Myers case went federal after the Summer Glen killings. That's when it ceased being one small town's problem and became a national concern. True crime fanatics get obsessive when they can theorize that a serial killer's scope can bleed into their own neighborhood. It's this exact mentality that builds paranoia and raises interest in an otherwise dead-end case so people can get more followers under the pretense that the killer may come back.

The truth is that there has been no indication whatsoever that Michael is coming back, nor that he's even still alive. This is all someone's elaborate attempt to stir up controversy so they can cash in on it.

Like you, I'm definitely skeptical about the legitimacy of this "revival", so I ran a few tests. Logins still work, and I can't log into anyone else's account, so the database must be retaining old user credentials.

I'm also of the mind that the "admin" could be pretending to be all these other users in an attempt to pull off some phishing scam, so in case anyone here is completely computer illiterate, don't give out your personal info.

On the other hand, I did hear about this place directly from Ghoul, so I know at least someone here is legit. Whether you choose to believe that or not is up to you.

This whole thing is definitely weird. I don't think I trust it, but I couldn't sit by idly and not participate.

If anybody wants to keep in touch, send me a PM before the lights go out.

Take care of yourselves.

Curious how this event's actually going to work. Could end up being really entertaining... or really boring.

OldSchool78 had the right idea. Universal Monsters. Frankenstein. Bride of Frankenstein. The Invisible Man. Also Psycho. Black and white horror just hits different.

That's... actually pretty smart.

That's the dangerous part. One person guesses. Ten people repeat it. Now it's "common knowledge."

I was thinking more about Myers stuff specifically. It's weird how many people confidently remember details that never happened. Not little things either. Entire events.

Reading the mask thread got me thinking. People swear they remember details that apparently never existed.

Example...

Like that thread from a few days ago mentioned, I would've bet money the Myers house never had a garage. Apparently it always has.

Anybody else have stuff like that?

Somebody said maybe the paramedic never yelled because he was a method actor committed to the illusion.

...

Or maybe his throat got obliterated when the axe went through his neck. Kind of hard to analyze vocal cords after your head's been chopped off.

It sounds crazy... but why would one guy keep swapping masks during the same night?

Maybe later.

...

Okay. That detail makes it a lot creepier.

Funny how your brain immediately fills in the blanks. Darkness plus chainsaw equals "time to leave."

Mostly peaceful. You notice things everyone else misses. Sometimes that's a good thing. Sometimes you wish you hadn't.

When I lived in Missouri people talked about a town called Kettle Springs. Never heard one consistent version. Just that around ten years ago there were several disappearances that nobody really explained.

Could've all been rumors. People there definitely acted weird whenever somebody brought it up.

Night people are good at entertaining themselves. Silence doesn't bother us as much.

Exactly. During the day your brain filters all that out. At night every little sound suddenly feels important.

That's actually what makes him scary. Not that he's some monster... that he's just another person until he decides not to be.

Exactly. Everybody pictures him hiding in abandoned buildings. Why? He could be sitting in an apartment reading forums for all we know.
