Today’s Daily Create ~ Don’t worry, it’s supposed to be bad!  

I enjoyed watching The Twilight Zone’s “Living Doll”, Night Gallery’s “The Doll”, and Trilogy of Terror’s “Amelia”. I have a great appreciation for older horror films, even though they usually don’t scare me, because they helped the horror genre grow and develop into what it is now. However, the basic elements that make them scary … Continue reading Pediophobia Films

These stories are scary because you have normal people that come in contact with these dolls that seem normal and then they come to life and do evil things. What makes haunted dolls scary is the fact that something inanimate and innocent looking could actually be something malevolent and out to kill. The only thing … Continue reading Ghost Dolls

What makes these stories scary? I don’t find the evil doll stories particularly scary. Maybe because it’s hard to be afraid of something so small and innocuous. I also never had dolls growing up, so I never had any experiences like lying in bed and having them stare at me, or having their eyes follow … Continue reading They’re coming to get you… One ankle at a time. The attack of the killer dolls!!!

Both Bryan Alexander and Shira Chess reveal how new technology and software can let people not only be creative but share their creativity. We are now able to create something and let people know matter where or who you are build off of it. Web storytelling enabled Slender Man to be created by its ability … Continue reading “Digital” in Digital Storytelling

A friend share this video on Facebook, and I decided to watched. It made me cry … because I miss my parents …they live in NJ and with school I can not see them as often as I will like to.   Nunca abandones a tus padres, no sabes cuando ya no estarán ahí esperándote

How did web storytelling enable the slender man? Slender man is a great villain because he was the product of a collaborative nightmare. When you write a story, it’s based on what you think is scary in your limited time and experience. When you build a story over the internet with others, man hours can … Continue reading What is the “digital” in digital storytelling?

I have decided that I will create my fan fiction character. I will use some of the characters of The Mortal Instrument series and combine it with my character.

The Daily Create for 31. August, 2015: The object was to create a short story using projectseen.com, which automatically blacks out certain trigger words.  It was entertaining to just type in random words and see what worked and what didn’t!... Continue Reading →

I’m sure I don’t actually suffer from pediophobia the fear of dolls, but after watching three seperate videos on them; I think I might have a slight fear now. As a child me and my younger sister shared rooms, she had several little baby dolls, on the other hand I was a stuffed animal person. Everynight I … Continue reading Porcelain, Plastic, or Pure Evil

I know that this website is supposed to be a spooky place but I could’t bring myself to corner my first amv into a creative hole! -_-‘ This project is worth 4.5 stars out of the 8 I need to complete this week. There were a lot of difficult times with this amv but I’m … Continue reading My Not Spooky AMV

For starters, Slender Man is quite creepy. Not knowing anything about him I decided to do a little research and not I for one am not a fan. I sat through about 5 minute background video to have some tall lanky man with a while face jump out the woods, I actually jumped; so yeah … Continue reading How the Bald, White Predator, became Slender Man.

The Daily Create –

I’m sorry Tom, I can’t hear you . . .I don’t have my glasses on!

Wow, what a great syllabus week. I have been re-acclimated to UMW over the past week, in more ways than one. I also tried to push all of the multimedia introductions into a short window, as my week has been super crazy hectic (That post can be seen here http://michaeljamal.com/uncategorized/social-me-dia/). The one thing that I … Continue reading My Junior year so far.

These are some of the introductions that I’ve done on social media so far. I added a few photos on my Flickr from my summer, which has got me thinking that I should be probably taking more pictures while I’m still in college. On SoundCloud I didn’t have any audio files that I could find … Continue reading Social Me-dia

I would probably get out of bed rather quickly listening to this, especially with the New Orleans bounce beat added in.

(^Music to listen to as you read: Eau de Vie by Takanashi Yasuharu^) This first week I had many experiences that would not have happened if not for the prompting of ds106 which I am very thankful for. Firstly I had to set up all of my media platforms: Twitter, Soundcloud, Flickr, and Youtube: because … Continue reading Weekly Summary #1: 8/28/15

Week one is officially coming to an end and oh boy was it interesting. I am  hoping at the initial sense of being overwhelmed will come to an end shortly after. But this week for me was a particularly tough one. This weeks theme horror, was terrifying; reliving old nightmares is awful. However, I can say it … Continue reading Week one.

This week was definitely a learning experience for me. Having never trying to write a horror story before, I found myself in a difficult place while doing the main part of this week’s assignment. I’m not a huge fan of horror in the first place. Suspenseful movies rarely scare me and I refuse to watch […]

For this scary story you will need a piece of paper and a writing utensil. Number your paper 1-13 and write down a thing relating to the number like a mad-lib^^. Once your done, listen to the soundcloud and insert the words that correspond to the number I say to hear your own personalized scary … Continue reading Do you want to hear a scary story? O_O : ~The Storm~

This week was pretty tough, I think it was just the process of getting set up and get situated with the different websites. I probably would have had an easier time if I would have used my newer computer, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle. One thing I learned is that there is a … Continue reading Week One Summary

In Late November, a night most would have called innocuous unfortunately became something much worse. A young man, Thomas Rainier, from a small town in southern Virginia, had finished another shift at his mundane job. Accounting. He’d never had a passion for it but, as a recent college graduate, sought to pay off his loans […]

The smell coming from the trunk was putrid. It reeked of rust and bile, and even in the dim light, she could see a wet stain leaking from the grey leather. Veronica had only been gone a few days, and she had been communicating with her roommate up until that morning as she was driving back home. Everything … Continue reading Spooky Scary →
