SCISSORS UNDER THE HOUSE

a new horror based on true events

When Noelia and Melinda Ramirez find the corpses of three stray cats hanging from their porch they suspect that someone is using dark magic to curse them. They are quick to follow the advice of their local curandera, and dig a mote of protection around their small house. But as Señora Lerma warned, if they find scissors when they dig - it might already be too late. Can they find out who has it in for them and reverse this evil curse before it's too late? And who is this woman wearing feathers that baby Sylvia keeps seeing? 

Scissors Under the House is an Easter horror story inspired by true events.
