If they had to pick a horror story from YOUR town...
What would the season be based on? Use real examples of local horror stories that could make a season of the show. And I mean an actual story that could be sustained, not like "There's a haunted convenience store in my town" because unless the season was set exclusively in the store, well...you get it.
There are tons of local legends and haunts in small (or big) towns across America.
Mine would have to be about this haunted subdivision. It's like something straight out of Poltergeist. There's an entire neighborhood where the residents complain about paranormal phenomena. They even did a radio show about it once for Halloween.
I once found out a friend of mine had lived in it for a while and asked if he had any stories to tell. He said nothing happened to his family, but they lived next door to a house that was always on the market and the story always ended the same way. He said a couple would move in and initially be fine, but then they'd start having loud fights and the woman would become disheveled-looking and the man intense. Then they'd break up or get divorced and move out. I thought "What's so strange about that? Moving is stressful" but he said the fights were always about the exact same thing with every couple. And he meant specifically, like they'd always have the exact same argument and even use some of the same words as the previous couple and the story always ended the same way (they'd break up or divorce and move). And apparently this happened with four different couples over the course of two years. He said it was like something in the house was influencing them and it was uncanny.
Once I was driving through the neighborhood with a friend who was from out of town and he suddenly said he was getting a bad vibe from the area and wanted me to get out of the subdivision. He had no idea about the local stories.
Word from some locals is that the homes were built on Indian burial ground, but I've had no confirmation of this.
Once when someone I knew was looking to buy a home, they were warned not to go past a certain line in town because that's where the trouble starts.
Anyway, your turn.
