Set 225 years after a nuclear holocaust in 2015 in the modern day, the survivors are divided between those who live in comfortable underground cities and the "New Primitives" who live in the sunlight. A group of 11 of these people come across a mysterious, abandoned village. Despite the presence of numerous horribly mutilated corpses, the adventurers decide to settle in town after discovering a large amount of food, a greenhouse with various fruit trees and a reservoir of drinking water. The following night hundreds and hundreds of hungry genetically mutated rats are ready to attack them one by one.[2]
Two young women, Margaret and Lisa, are set to take the overnight train from Munich in Germany to stay with Lisa's parents in Italy for Christmas. They find the train is full and are forced to sit in the corridor. Meanwhile, two petty criminals, Blackie and Curly, also board the train as it is leaving Munich to escape from a pursuing policeman. The two thugs come across Margaret and Lisa, who help them hide from the ticket collector. Blackie then encounters an upper-class blonde older woman whom he attempts to molest in the toilets, only for her to seduce him aggressively. As Curly gets into a fight, the girls become increasingly wary of the two thugs' behaviour and make their way further down the train to escape them.
As the train travels into the night, the girls are alarmed to discover that the two thugs and the blonde woman are on board as well, and the three soon force their way into the girls' compartment. Blackie and the blonde then engage in various lewd acts while taunting the girls. Curly beats Margaret into submission and then forces Lisa to masturbate him. The blonde woman spots another passenger, a peeping tom watching them through the compartment window. Grabbing the man, the two thugs force him to rape Margaret, but they are distracted by Lisa vomiting, and he escapes.
There are ghost stories behind almost every Neapolitan palace. They talk about some typical mysterious creatures like "Munaciello" or "Bella m'Briana", who are used to play tricks or bring gifts and money to the people who live in "their" flat. All depends on people's trust.
Based on these legends, the Neapolitan dramatist Eduardo de Filippo wrote one of his best plays "Questi Fantasmi" (These Ghosts), in which a naive dupe is cheated by a cunny scoundrel.
This walking tour will start from Piazza del Gesù.
Here we will listen to the esoteric music hidden under the strange symbols on the stone blocks used to build the wall of the Church del Gesù.
Then we will reach Piazza San Domenico. Here two protagonists of Neapolitan history will be introduced: the alchemist Raimondo de Sangro Prince of Sansevero and the unlucky ghost of Maria d'Avalos.
Sirens and vampires will be the other fantastic creatures we will meet.
We can calm our fear with a drink or a coffee in Piazza Bellini, the centre of the night movida
Claudio Simonetti's Goblin returns to the Bay Area with the current line-up featuring guitarist Daniele Amador, bassist Cecilia Nappo and drummer Frederico Maragoni, performing a live score for a screening of the Argento-produced, Lamberto Brava directed 1985 cult Italian horror favorite Demons at the Castro Theatre Friday night along with an additional second set of Goblin classics. The band also appears at Cafe Colonial in Sacramento on Thursday.
Weird things have been noted in this parsonage, originally built in 1876. The gray wooden structure now serves as a bed and breakfast in a rural area with snowmobiling, fishing, and... not much else. Residents of Borgvattnet have claimed to hear footsteps, music, and the sound of three crying ladies coming from the inn, and the proprietors reward visitors with a certificate that says they made it through the night.
I had a pretty interesting experience along the via ferrata Marino Bianchi, as I decided to spend the night in the abandoned rifugio Lorenzi, built on the Staunies saddle, a few hundred meters below the summit.
This is also one of the easier iron paths on this list. Its only downside is the long initial approach. The best way to tackle this via ferrata is to plan an overnight hut stay in the nearby rifugio Alpe di Tires.
What you can do is stay in rifugio Son Forca the night before then head out to do via ferrata Marino Bianchi come down and head to the other side of Forcella Staunies to do a part of VF Ivano Dibna (most people go to the bridge and back) then head back down the same way you came. I will be honest with you. I thought Marino Bianchi ferrata was better than ID. Then was you are down you can stay another night in rifugio Son Forca or just take the chairlift down to the parking lot. Let me know if that helps and if you have more questions!
By reading this article on 7 horror movies set in Italy you will also discover the differences between Italian and international horror cinema. Italian horror cinema has invented a different way of working on death, ghosts, possessions, and scary figures, focusing above all on tradition and popular folklore which can be a gold mine for scary cinema.
With A Hunting in Venice by director Kenneth Branagh, released in cinemas last September, Venice was transformed into an outdoor set. The scenes were filmed between autumn and winter, a period in which mist and fog reign supreme in Venice. The famous Hercule Poirot has chosen Venice to retire, an old friend tempts Poirot by inviting him on Halloween night to take part in a séance in a haunted house during a scary night, it is there that a murder will take place and Poirot, despite his reticence will be forced to get back to work.
The scary thing is when you get that unmistakable feeling when the sun shines brightly in Venice. As there are spots in the city and the lagoon that always feel dark, drab and cursed no matter if it is night or day. Here are some of the most famous ones:
A Venetian scientist offered a large sum of money to the bell-ringer in exchange for his skeleton. The bell-ringer greedily accepted the advanced payment and started going out every night drinking himself to oblivion. Soon, his excess drinking led to his premature death.
If you walk across Campo San Piero in the sestiere of Castello at night, you may come across the apparition of a young bride. This is Tosca who is looking for her ring finger with her wedding ring attached to it so that she can marry her beloved.
Many unorthodox ladies lived in Venice through the centuries. From courtesans able to compose elaborate poems and having their own literary salons to nuns who would freely entertain in more ways than one the Venetian noblemen, Venice was a hotbed of activity any day and night.
This is a curious story in which a Venetian fishing boat is used every night by seven witches to travel around the world to practice witchcraft. The owner of the boat, a fisherman, soon suspected that his boat was being used by somebody else.
This must be what it was like to live inside Mario Bava's head. "Lisa and the Devil" is a nightmarish tumble down an "Alice in Wonderland"-like rabbit hole. A brilliantly strange specimen, this examination of Lisa's (Elke Sommer) grip on reality ends up becoming one of the genre's most relentless and fascinating exploits. Released one year after "The Exorcist," a global blockbuster success, film producers reportedly inserted additional footage, with Bava's son Lamberto Bava at the helm, to flesh out the supernatural elements and pepper in more explicitly exorcism-related themes; the film was later re-released under the title "The House of Exorcism."
"The House by the Cemetery" bookends Lucio Fulci's Gothic-horror trio, arriving in 1981 after "City of the Living Dead" and "The Beyond." Unlike those previous works, "The House by the Cemetery" appears like a ghost in the night, rattling poetically and poignantly about an unfulfilled existence and finding peace in the afterlife. Screenplay co-writer Dardano Sacchetti reportedly drew upon Henry James' novella "The Turn of the Screw," while Fulci sought to write a story that would easily fit into H. P. Lovecraft's spooky universe.
The dudes from Ghost Adventures got all kinds of spooked on the island. Their episode on Poveglia, where the crew stranded themselves there for 24 hours, is full of perceived curses, apparitions, creepy music, weird energy, inexplicable equipment malfunctions, and off-the-charts ghost monitors. These dudes used their best Italian to ask the ghosts pertinent questions like "are you a murderer?" and seemed to get responses from the dark abyss. Mysterious bangs, audible footsteps, disembodied voices and strange orbs are all captured on video and audio. As with most episodes of Ghost Adventures, people bashed the validity of their haunted claims. We'll admit this shit looks scary but most things illuminated only by the green of a night-vision camera usually are (best example: Paris Hilton giving a BJ.)
In its negative and more traditional sense, it describes anything that causes fright or arouses feelings of terror and bewilderment. Some possible translations including scary, frightening, frightful, terrible, horrible or dreadful.
Consistently delicious! Three of us dined here last night and we weren't disappointed. The salad and garlic rolls are always a hit. The rolls were hot and buttery. All of our entrees were excellent and served hot and perfectly cooked. Portions are plentiful and to go containers were necessary. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Access the Roman Catacombs at night and experience the most scary night tour. You will see over 4,000 monk skeletons which date back to the 16th century. Narrow tunnels are eerily quiet and full of Roman history, including Christian frescoes and sculptures.
With this tour you will visit Piazza Campo de Fiori, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona and other attractions lit up at night. This tour is a perfect option for an evening in Rome to explore more of the city with the help of an expert guide. It is very reasonably priced.
