Horror stories have been around for a long time, but the 1st story to be called horror was a book by Horace Walpole in 1794 called The Castle Of Otranto.
Once Cole finally does open up to him with the iconic line “I see dead people”, Malcolm feels a crushing sense of defeat and a fear that Cole needs to be institutionalized. This would mean that he wasn’t able to help him, like he hadn’t been able to help the patient who had met a tragic end. However, through further scrutiny of old interviews with the patient, Dr. Crowe realizes that the spirits the man claimed to be around were actually speaking to him. With this newfound belief, Malcolm and Cole set out to help Cole face his fears, and help the lost spirits as well. In the end, Cole ends up helping Malcolm just as much as Malcolm had helped Cole, if not more.

The books start off by telling you what happens to Harry and his family when he is a baby and brings you to adult hood when he has children of his own. In the beginning of the first book Harry is brought to his aunt’s home because his parents had been killed by an evil wizard named Voldemort. He was brought to the family under the cover of darkness by Rubeus Hagrid under the order of Albus Dumbledore. Dumbledore believes that he will be safer living with “muggles” because he will be away from all of the evil. Voldemort tried to kill Harry but was unable to because of the love his mother had shone on him.
The main character, Leonard, is a man who cannot make new memories since the rape and murder of his wife, and who has devoted his life to attempting to get revenge for his wife’s death. His character is played by Guy Pearce. The other main characters in the film are Leonard’s friend, Teddy, played by Joe Pantoliano, and Natalie, a woman helping Leonard in his quest, played by Carrie-Anne Moss. The acting is all very convincing, especially that of Leonard, which significantly adds to the feel of the movie. Much as Inception confused the viewers by taking the characters into dreams-within-dreams, Memento confuses its viewers by telling two separate parts of the story at once, one part in reverse chronological order in color, interspersed with forward chronological shots in black and white.
An unnamed narrator arrives at the House of Usher, a very creepy mansion owned by his boyhood friend Roderick Usher. Roderick has been sick lately, afflicted by a disease of the mind, and wrote to his friend, our narrator, asking for help. The narrator spends some time admiring the awesomely spooky Usher edifice. While doing so, he explains that Roderick and his sister are the last of the Usher bloodline, and that the family is famous for its dedication to the arts (music, painting, literature, etc.). Eventually, the narrator heads inside to see his friend.
They then plan to send Wolverine into the past to change the course of history and prevent the assassination of Trask. Before the procedure, Professor X warns Wolverine that he was a different man back then and advises Wolverine to be patient with him. Wolverine then wakes up in 1973. After evading the hit men who try to kill him after he slept with their boss’s daughter, he travels to the X-mansion. He meets the young Beast and the young Professor X, the latter suffering depression and has taken shots to enable him to walk and remove his telepathic abilities since his school has closed down because all of his students went to and died in the Vietnam War.
Poe uses different flows of time: fast and slow. On the eighth day, the narrator tries to kill the old man because he hates the old man’s evil eye. The process of killing the old man is very precise and the narrator moves very slowly, taking an hour to open the door until he kills the old man. The narrator demonstrates time moving slowly when he states, “For a whole hour I did not hear him lie down” (Poe 2). This quote suggests how the author can make readers feel nervous, and make them curious of what will happen, so time creates suspense in the story.
Because of this tendency to get caught up in their onscreen lives, I have to choose very carefully what I watch. Violent or creepy movies can leave me feeling physically ill and on edge for days. This restricts me mostly to dramas and feel-good movies, but I’m okay with that. Most of us could use a few more “happy endings” in life, don’t you think? The movie, starring Robert Downey, Jr. and Jamie Foxx, tells the story of an unlikely friendship between Steve Lopez, an LA Times reporter, and Nathaniel Ayers, a homeless man who turns out to be a Juilliard dropout.
