Woo hoo! Thanks Don...

G'luck everybody... can't wait to see what you guys/gals come up with. -A

So, we're off!

I only just noticed this cause of a PM from Don.

Personally, I think the real change would be inventing an entirely original UL. Then again...

Nice one, Andrea!!

P.S. Now I'm just waiting for mind-reader Matt to appear and start gloating.

Ooh, creepy avatar, Andrea! I like it!

Love a good urban legend!

At a Halloween party, the Purge was the theme gurl.

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Love a good urban legend!

Thought you might. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I'm getting more The Strangers, than Purge from that mask, which I'm very coincidentally watching right now (OG of course)

Here's a list of urban legends in case anyone is too lazy to google.

Okay, urban legend it is. I'm trying to come up with something!
Just trying, not promising anything. But I'm really putting a thought into it - came up with a new drink to help if any of you are interested. A glass of dry red wine with 50ml shot of raspberry vodka (can be any vodka, but if it's straight vodka, the wine better be semi-sweet) and seltzer (half of a wine glass). If this doesn't help me I just should stop thinking of writing anything forever.

Thanks Pia
My God, I was going through it and saw the Black Volga. I was one of those scared kids that would watch out for it.
We had that type of a car in Soviet Union. And there were stories... I remember how I would scan the streets for it. It was real! Wow. Seeing it now in a list of urban legends is surreal.

Well I never heard of the elevator game, but the bloody Mary thing as we all know entails going into a bathroom or other room that has a mirror, turning off the light, and saying her name over and over until your reflection turns into a corpse face.

Personally, it never worked for me. If you're into dark bathroom mirror games, wint o' green lifesavers are much more entertaining (they make green sparks if you chew with your mouth open, at least they did when I was a kid).

This one's a little out of my wheelhouse, but what the hell! I'll take a crack at it!

Oh yea it is -- you're the master of horror around here...

Quoted from ghost and_ghostie gal Oh yea it is -- you're the master of horror around here...

The only thing I claim mastery over is the porcelain throne.   But still, I appreciate the vote of confidence.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with this time around. Should be a lot of fun reads!
