Horror Cinema–Noroi: The Curse
I was mesmerized by Kōji Shiraishi’s 2005 Noroi: The Curse from beginning to end. Told through a compilation of television shows and interviews and documentary-style footage, it tells a spooky ghost story in a very modern way.

Cheesecloth SpiritsGlue cheesecloth onto foam mannequin heads (available at wig shops) and hang them from the ceiling. Spook them up with a fan on low speed.

DIY: Creepy Halloween Decorations
I particularly love this Halloween décor craft because it is so simple to get the supplies: figurines from the dollar store or thrift store, black spray paint and red acrylic paint. The effect is great! See the step-by-step instructions at Sadie Seasongoods: Halloween Figurines for Scary Halloween Decorations.

Death Masks
Caitlin Doughty from the YouTube channel Ask a Mortician discusses the history of death masks. I was particularly fascinated by how they were linked to the modern wax museum.
