"I am generally surprised that there is still a movie store with physical discs around this county." Missy spoke aloud to no one in particular. It was just to give sound into a silent store. The rainstorm outside with the wind howling was not a comforting sound. So Missy, who got off in about three hours, did her best to occupy herself within the store.
Converted from a 1830's townhouse, 'The House of the Hill' DVD/Tape store was one of the town's local landmarks.Somehow still being able to bring in more than enough folks to keep the business afloat.Normally very comly, the outside weather made it the darkness of some parts look like the emptiness of space.The interior had become quite foreboding, certain areas had faulty wiring which caused the lights to flicker or caused strange noises to occur.
Missy occupied herself by reorganizing the basement, where all the old videos were. From DVDs to cassettes to tapes, it always seemed that somebody in town wanted to buy from here. Ironically the deep basement was one of the less terrifying parts of the old house. With actual lights that were still on and a small boombox to hear music on. On her butt, Missy piled together movies into their respective genres before she categorized that into what technology they were made for.
"After this, I may try to do the attic." Missy said to herself once more.She then remembered the strange memorabilia up there and decided against it.
She had come into town a little over a month ago and took her job in the store two days before this point. The brunette with a ponytail was slowly becoming more accustomed to her job though she still found certain peculiarities of the place. For one, she was told never to question the people who came in with gigantic clothing, like coats or skirts or even at one time a wetsuit. The other thing she was told was to never question the contents of the four red box in the basement. Not because it was weird, but because it contained...quite lewd material.
Missy had already saw the cover of one of the videos and she had turned a bright red. So the woman vowed never to do so again unless told.
"All right I think I got the horror section done now lets....wait,what's this?" Missy spoke. She picked up a blocky tape and looked at the cover. On it was a supermodel looking woman with red lips, red hair,and green eyes. The only conservative part of herself was the oldstyle puritan hat she wore. Everything below was longcoat that flashed a bodysuit that was just three pieces away from becoming a bikini.
Comedically, the woman wore one of the most determined expression Missy had ever seen on a woman's face. She scratched her head in thought.
"Van Helsing's Horror Pack" Missy said. "Includes:The Fullest Moon,The Blue Lagoon's Deeps, Countess Dracuela, Frakenstein's Wife,Ms Jekyll and Miss.Hyde,The Invisible Woman, Haunting of the Manor,Mummies,and The Phantasm of the Opera."
She flipped it around to stare at the back. Images showed scenes from what appeared to be a Hammer film,with its signature grainery appearance of the 1930's to 50's. But a woman so lewdly dressed would probably never fly during those days,so what was this?
Curiosity getting the better of her,Missy went over to the TV that was placed down in the basement-so that clients could see if their disc or tape still worked-and plopped it inside. She went through all the motions until she eventually saw the opening screen.
