    In the quaint town of New Paltz, New York, nestled by the serene Hudson River, life takes a thrilling turn as the skies darken one calm evening. A meteor shower was forecasted, but what descends from the skies is far from a natural phenomenon. Strange, shimmering figures emerge from the meteorite fragments, their form almost liquid under the pale moonlight.

    As the night envelops the town, the entities begin exploring, their motives unclear but their presence terrifying to the townspeople. The local sheriff, Emily, a courageous and determined woman, takes it upon herself to protect her town. With a group of brave citizens, they venture into the eerie nights trying to understand and confront the alien visitors.


    The aliens, however, are far advanced and possess the ability to morph into any form. They begin mimicking the townspeople, creating a growing sense of paranoia and distrust within the community. The nights become a horrifying playground as the line between friend and foe blurs.


    Emily and her team manage to communicate with the aliens, discovering they are refugees from a distant galaxy. They claim to seek asylum but their actions speak otherwise as they continue to terrorize New Paltz.


    In a desperate attempt to save her town, Emily devises a plan to lead the aliens to a secluded part of the Hudson River where they could be trapped and possibly sent back to where they came from. The plan is set into motion on a stormy night where lightning crackles across the sky, setting the scene for a final confrontation.


    As they near the trap site, Emily realizes too late that the aliens have been aware of their plan all along. They lead Emily and her team into a deadly ambush. The town watches in terror as the Hudson River, once a symbol of tranquility, transforms into a terrifying spectacle of otherworldly power.


    The sky lights up one final time as a massive alien ship descends, the shimmering figures merging into it, leaving behind a devastated town with an eerie silence that screams the unknown reality of what the universe holds. The chilling encounter leaves New Paltz forever haunted, its skies a constant reminder of the menacing unknown.

  • The Legacy
    Nov 14 2023

    In the quaint, eerie town of Black Hollow, a forgotten curse whispered through the ancient trees every thirteen years. This year bore an ill omen, for young Jamie was to turn thirteen under a foreboding full moon. The town, nestled amidst an endless canopy of dark woods and tranquil lakes, had always been Jamie's playground. His fascination with the woods was endless, but as his 13th birthday neared, a chilling unease enveloped the town.

    The night of Jamie’s birthday arrived with a sky void of stars, the moon reigning in solitude. The townsfolk, bound by old tales and forewarnings, feared what the night would unfold. As the clock struck midnight, Jamie felt an unearthly chill crawl through his veins. His bones ached with a sorrowful tune as they contorted and reshaped, his reflection morphing into a fearsome creature under the glowing eye of the moon.

    With each agonizing transformation, Jamie’s human essence faded, replaced by a ferocious, primal entity. A werewolf, bound to the moon's call, now roamed the dark trails where Jamie once played. His haunting howls resonated through the night, mingling with the cries of the tormented town, who now feared the cursed shadows more than ever.


    The town had to face the horrifying reality of the ancient curse that now gripped Jamie’s soul. With a blend of dread and resolve, they ventured into the dark heart of the woods to uncover the sinister lore binding Jamie to this dark fate. Each step through the haunting gloom revealed fragments of forgotten truths, leading them closer to the eerie core of Black Hollow’s cursed history.


    But time was the essence as with each moonrise, Jamie’s humanity waned, replaced by the wild, ominous entity of the night. The townsfolk's desperate quest to save Jamie led them through a maze of chilling folklore, ghostly apparitions, and the menacing stretch of the werewolf’s shadow.


    As they delved deeper into the ancient curse, the line between the town’s reality and the horrifying legend blurred. The battle against time and ancient evil intertwined as they sought to free Jamie from the moonlit curse, unearthing a tale of fear, courage, and the haunting truth lurking in the shadows of Black Hollow. Through every nerve-wracking twist, Moonlit Curse unveils a harrowing journey against an old evil to save a young soul from being forever lost to the dreaded whisper of the thirteen-year curse.
