Keep Out of the Basement
Try reading the next piece and convincing me that it doesn’t set the stage for a horror flick. In the gentle Southern hills stands a grand and stately old mansion. While on her maid’s job in this new town, our protagonist can’t help but be impressed by its picturesque landscape and assumes the locals have it pretty well.
But soon, she realizes that something isn’t quite right. Despite the lavish exterior, the home’s interior is surprisingly run-down, especially the kitchen and bathroom. She must be strictly forbidden from venturing into the cellar at any time. Then one day, she can’t help but peek, and what she sees there is shocking! Maybe the twist that “the basement is full of old clothes” isn’t the most effective for a horror film. But even so.
