Autumn: dark hallways, creepy teachers, what’s not to love?
•
If you attended a school where an atrocious murder was committed, or where something dark and unnatural crept the hallways, would you be fascinated, or horrified? I’m one of the few people I know who loved school, loved the entire back-to-school August prep. So why are so many people drawn…
