Case 14: Monstars of Rock
This wasn’t a case; I’m not even sure if I should count it as such, but it was so unusual that I had to write about it.
Part 1: Backstory
There’s no backstory I can provide for this; it was a sudden spur-of-the-moment event.
Part 2: Investigation
It all started when I was travelling through South Carolina for a vacation, and I had just reached Myrtle Beach shortly before sundown. Having stopped at a restaurant for dinner, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Suddenly, I saw some kind of van pull up nearby driven by a short man who looked like he jumped out of a Tim Burton film; his hat had black-and-white stripes, while he himself was looking at what I assumed to be a wristwatch. This alone was strange enough, but what really caught me by surprise was the person who was heading for it. There, tying a large drum set to the van’s roof, was what looked like the Frankenstein Monster as depicted in Universal Studios’ classic horror films.

Case 13: Big Thunder Revisited
A return to Big Thunder Mountain wasn’t something I planned, at least not yet. However, an agent from the Wilderness Education Department (WED for short) asked me to return and take another look. Needless to say, this was an offer I couldn’t refuse.
Stage 1: Backstory
I have talked about Big Thunder Mountain before, but I feel I have left out many details about both the mountain and the boomtowns that sprung up around it.
Shortly after the earthquake of 1860 that destroyed much of the town of Thunder Mesa, the Thunder Mountain Mining Company was reorganized by Barnabus T. Bullion, who was noted to be a better boss than Henry Ravenswood ever was. Under the leadership of Mr. Bullion, the miners not only worked to rebuild Thunder Mesa, but also established two other boomtowns as well. Each one was built on a different side of Thunder Mountain, essentially making a triangle of sorts if viewed from the sky. The first town (Rainbow Ridge) was opened in 1869

Case 12: Journey to Atlantis
It was during another vacation that I stumbled upon this case.
Stage 1: Backstory
Anyone who knows about mythology has most likely heard of the story of Atlantis. Whether it be an island, a city, or a continent, Atlantis was said to be advanced beyond all civilizations and had tremendous naval power. However, the story goes that Atlantis grew power-hungry and vowed to conquer the world. As such, this brought down the wrath of Olympus against Atlantis, which was destroyed by volcanos and floods. Many great scholars like Plato have talked about this lost empire, as well as many other adaptations in media such as books and films. Over the centuries, many people have questioned if Atlantis was fact or fantasy, and there seemed to be no end in sight.
But then, as I arrived on the Grecian Island of Thera (or Santorini as it’s also called) for a vacation, I had learned that somehow, the lost capital of Atlantis had somehow risen from the ocean once more. As a

Halloween Horror Nights Anthology episode 50
Intro:
The scene opens in an abandoned casino, where the gambling hall is dimly lit by neon lights; the opening of Frank Sinatra’s Luck be a Lady plays in the background. The camera pans by a roulette wheel and over to a dusty pool table, when we see Lady Luck’s fingers brush over the 8 ball. The camera pans up to show the woman in green, who reminisces how “I’ve been with humanity since time began. I’ve gone by many names over many lifetimes, with Tyche and Fortuna among them. But they were all deceived; they all should’ve known that the house always wins. That I always win.” With that, the episode begins.
Main episode:
The episode starts in the Stone Age, where a group of nomads is attempting to figure out which path to take. Ultimately, Lady Luck (who wears a green animal skin shaped like her dress) suggests they split in half, with one going one path that seems rough and rocky and the other a second trail that appears easier. This idea is accepted and the group splits in half to

It was late on the thirteenth of February 2016 when I joined the crowd that filled the Mandalay Bay Arena in Las Vegas. The intro band had ended, and the lights had all gone out. The sound of rain and church bells filled the air as the crowd grew louder in their cheers. The curtain over the stage showed the name ‘Black Sabbath’ in flames. Suddenly, the opening chords to ‘Black Sabbath’ rang through the air, and the curtain vanished to reveal the band in all its glory. On the left was Tony Iommi and the right Geezer Butler, with the drummer Tommy Clufetos stationed behind them. But that wasn’t where I was looking; my eyes were locked on...
