-> "Welcome, you are about to enter into a journey of the unimaginable, into a realm where blackness remains, and nightmares become reality for these unlucky victims, whom you are about to meet. But do begin your journey with caution, as you will witness excruciating visions so incredibly graphic that your brain will surely struggle to comprehend the ghastly information it will receive. If you are at all squeamish, or easily offended by actual scenes of human destruction, then return to your normal world now, as it is time to begin our journey into the netherworld, into grim rooms you would only be in if you were dead..."
-->--'''Damon Fox''', ''Traces of Death''

-> ''The time has come for scary things \\
Like vampires, ghosts, and vampire wings \\
Like horrible movies, all drippy and drooly\\
And horrible hosts like me, Svengoolie!''
-->--Jerry Bishop's '''Series/{{Svengoolie}}''', ''Screaming Yellow Theater''

->But be warned, if you enter, you may be subjected to my tales... [[MerchandiseDriven TALES DESIGNED TO SELL MY MERCHANDISE]]! (EvilLaugh) ... [[MoodWhiplash Sorry, I was thinking of something funny I heard earlier]].

->''It is a lovely night \\
To go embrace your fears \\
Don't run, don't cry \\
To me, now \\
Ponies, I am tonight's host \\
For your trip to mania \\
Restless hours await my present guests \\
\\
You wonder: 'Who am I?' \\
A restless raconteur \\
Who just cannot remain silent \\
She of dramatic hearts \\
Burning Salamandra \\
Is ready to assail you all with dread!''
