10 Urban Legends That Should Be Horror Films

4. The Midnight Man

What's the Legend? The most complicated version of Bloody Mary you've ever dared to play. You write your name on a piece of paper and lay the paper on the ground in front of a door. You light a candle and leave it on top of the paper on the floor (seems like a fire hazard, but sure) and turn out all the lights. Begin knocking on the door a grand total of 22 times; the 22nd knock should be timed with the stroke of midnight. If done correctly, this pagan ritual should summon an entity known as the Midnight Man, who you have to avoid until 3:33am. When he's near, your candle will go out, and you have to relight it within 10 seconds or he'll rip your organs out one by one whilst showing you your worst fears (personally, someone ripping my organs out one by one is my worst fear). If you can't relight your candle, you're to surround yourself in a circle of salt and wait out the night until 3:33, at which point he'll evidently f*ck off and leave you in peace. What's the Movie? Like Candyman on crack. Dumb teenagers play dumb game as a dumb dare and it ends up being true. It could end with one of the teens invoking Bloody Mary in the bathroom and the two demonic entities throwing down in an epic showdown.
