After watching this videotape, Talia and Scott both looked a little unhappy.

If this is true, it is too outrageous. A teenager would take pictures of such a horrific and hideous corpse as a daily record, and it has not been investigated by the police. The videotape is well stored in his home and can even be shown to other people at will.

If this is fake, just a low-budget horror movie shot by a young man, it would be too real.

How does he make these lifelike props?

“Very good photography skills.”

Lu Ban suddenly made a sound, causing the two frightened college students to look over.

“The essence of horror is the fear of the unknown, while the reality we are familiar with can bring a sense of security. This video uses the method of shooting daily home movies to let us let down our guard and immerse ourselves in the scenes he shot, increasing the sense of substitution. At this time, showing weird and scary things that are different from reality will create an extremely strong sense of horror.”

He explained seriously.

After hearing Lu Ban's words, the two looked at each other.

It seems to be the case.

Many horror movies choose to use a plot to lay out the identity and interpersonal relationships of the protagonist, and then gradually destroy such relationships. Some works even start directly with the people around the protagonist to alienate them.

Is there anything more frightening than your mother, wife, or husband suddenly losing consciousness and doing something weird and horrible?

Is there anything more frightening than a hideous woman's head suddenly appearing in your warm bed?

The so-called jump scare is when a scary thing suddenly pops up in a relatively soothing, peaceful and quiet environment. If the audience is kept in a tense and exciting environment, most people's first reaction to a suddenly popping face would probably be to punch it.

“Is, is that so…”

Talia took one look at the TV cabinet filled with items of various kinds and couldn't help but start to imagine what was in those videotapes.

The one marked "Birthday" will probably mean that when you open the box on your birthday, you will see that the cake has turned into a human head.

Could it be that the videotape with "Travel" on it is about a person's experience of hiding a dead body?

Talia didn't dare to guess what the more blatant videotapes with the words "curse" and "sin" would record.

Scott swallowed and picked up his camera to record the footage for the tapes.

At this time, James, who had gone to repair the car, returned to the door.

"Thank you for your help, ma'am, our car is ready to drive now."

He winked at the people in the room, signaling them to leave the place quickly.

"You'd better not go to Miskatoke and attend the film festival."

The woman who had already prepared dinner, holding a plate in her hand, spoke again.

Lu Ban noticed that she was carrying two plates and had prepared two servings of food.

"He died at the film festival. It wasn't a festival worth going to. They overturned some traditions, which led to new changes, haha."

The woman sat at the dining table and picked up a sandwich with bacon, eggs and sliced ​​tomatoes.

“What’s going to happen at the festival?”

Scott asked curiously.

"Sacrifice, children, they will choose the sacrifice."

The old woman took a bite of the sandwich, and tomato juice remained at the corners of her mouth, like blood.

"Sacrifice?"

Scott was puzzled and tried to ask more.

"Let's go quickly. We'd better drive through this section of road before the fog thins."

James at the door urged.

Scott had no choice but to leave the house after leaving the image of the old woman.

The car finally started and drove into the fog. Lu Ban looked back at the lonely house.

The house was completely dark, even the dim light on the first floor was gone.

Lu Ban looked towards the second floor.

At this time, he discovered that there seemed to be a figure behind the window on the second floor of the house.

The man was staring at the car, most of his body hidden behind the curtains, only his eyes were half exposed, which made people feel uneasy.

"What is that..."

Scott held up the camera and felt a shudder as he looked at the scene.

"what you think?"

Lu Ban did not answer directly, but asked in return.

"Is it her son?"

Talia thought back to the video she had just seen, and a chilling thought came to her mind.

"Could it be that... those videotapes just now were not movies, but real footage, and her son is still alive and is a murderer on the run!?"

"Director Lu Ban, are you saying that to protect our safety?"

She looked at Lu Ban, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"No, you have a very vivid imagination."

Lu Ban waved his hand.

"Let's take a look at the contents of this video tape."

He pointed to the box of videotapes marked "Film Festival" in Scott's hand.

“Do you have a player in your car?”

"Of course, I'll look for it."

Scott began to rummage around in the back of the car.

Soon, he took out the old videotape player. Although digital devices are now popular, some people still prefer film, believing that the images taken in this way have better texture.

After plugging it in and connecting it to the TV, Scott put the tape into the player and the picture soon appeared on the TV.

"Can you hear me? Can you hear me?"

A voice sounded, and anyone who had watched the videotape could immediately recognize that it was the voice of the old woman's son.

"This is the Miskatoc Film Festival. Hey, I'm going to record this festival. They said there will be some unusual programs this time. I want to see what they are."

"It's foggy here, that's how it is in this poor place at this time of year. I hope it won't affect the film festival the day after tomorrow."

"There are already a lot of tourists on the street, and they are dressed up in strange ways, which is pretty cool, I think."

"Look here, that's my favorite director. He's going to have a new movie coming out this time. I'm really looking forward to it."

"This is smoked fish pie, a specialty of Miskatoc. Believe me, you won't want to try it. It's pretty disgusting."

"Oh! The film festival has opened. Look at those people. They are all stars. The opening ceremony will be held in the university auditorium. I hope I can get a seat."

"Guys, the good news is that I know a guy who helps out in the auditorium, and he found me a spot. The bad news is that the spot is on the rooftop. Never mind, the view here isn't bad."

On the TV, he showed the images of Miskatoc shot with his handheld camera. There was thick fog and the whole city was shrouded in fog.

At that time and moment, it was just like this moment.
