Hallmark Magical Holiday Town Hallmark Magical Holiday Town is a concept that has become synonymous with Christmas and the holiday season. It represents the quintessential image of a charming and festive small town, beautifully decorated with Christmas lights and decorations, and bustling with joyful activities. This magical town captures the essence of the holiday spirit that people long for during the festive season. One of the most prominent features of a Hallmark Magical Holiday Town is its picturesque and idyllic setting. These towns are often depicted as being surrounded by snow-covered landscapes, with charming cottages and historical buildings lining the streets. The main square is adorned with a grand Christmas tree, serving as the centerpiece for various holiday events and celebrations.
The next room in the Catacombs is the room with the spike ceiling and a raising floor platform. If the player is standing on the platform when it is raised to the top, the floor will raise rapidly to stab the player into the ceiling repeating until they are off the platform or dead. This room has 2 imps that throw lightning bombs, one ahead where the player can see is the way forward and one above the entrance. To get across without taking damage from the spikes, step on the platform to make it rise then run across when as it resets, this gives the player more time to move across the room while the mechanism resets and raises again. In this final room is an imp directly on the right of the entrance holding a large sword, as well as another Gold Dragon Cult Knight. The lever to open the locked doors are found here. Similar to getting across the first time, to get out, step on the platform to have it raise then run across while it resets to get above the entrance, then simply wait for the platform to lower and jump down with it to get back to the entrance.
There is a lightning trap hidden in the water in the middle of the room, stepping on the trap will cause lightning to strike down around the trap, enemies do not trigger the trap but the trap rearms quickly so watch out and avoid the damage. The Boss will charge lightning very visibly then fire it at the player giving the player time to move behind a pillar or prepare to time a dodge or block.
The main square is adorned with a grand Christmas tree, serving as the centerpiece for various holiday events and celebrations. Another key element that characterizes these magical towns is the strong sense of community and togetherness. Hallmark movies and stories often depict townspeople coming together to organize festive events and traditions that bring joy to everyone.

I had a “Blair Witch Project” moment when I was in Paris this past summer. I thought with Halloween this week, it would be an appropriate story to share.
I had friends tell me that I should go and see the catacombs while in Paris. “It’s a must see.” Okay, great! I made it a point to fit it in one day. I went myself. That was a mistake.
So for those that don’t know, the catacombs of Paris is an underground ossuary. An ossuary is a final resting place for human remains. Ew, even me just saying that makes me wonder why I decided that it was a good idea to check it out. The power of a friend’s recommendation is a crazy thing.
The lineup of people in front of me at the Paris catacombs. The people behind me in the line up at the Paris Catacombs.
Only 200 people can be in the catacombs at any given time. That’s not a lot of people, hence the two and a half hour lineup I was in to reach the entrance.
I was the 864th person to enter the catacombs that day. Once paying the entrance fee, I descended 19 metres down a narrow spiral staircase. The 130 steps down was dizzying. Once at the bottom, there was an exhibit describing the history of the catacombs and once through that, the tunnel towards the ossuary started. I entered the tunnel and started to walk. Where were the people in front of me? And I could no longer see anything or anyone behind me except for the pathway. Oh no. Not good.
There was a lonely, bone-chilling silence. I could not hear anything. What happened to the other people? I started getting worried that I took a wrong turn and that I was going to be lost in Paris’ underground forever. After all, there is said to be about 300 km of tunnels underneath the City of Lights. For anyone that knows me, I should have been in a state of sheer panic at this point. And I’ll admit that I could feel it rumbling inside of me. Fear.
I started to walk faster. My breath started to get shorter, not from the cardio-workout of speed walking but from the panic that was growing inside of me. I could hear my heart beating faster. Where was everyone that waited in line with me?!
It was dark. Dim lights lit the way. It was a long, twisting path with stone walls closing in on either side. Where was the ossuary? And more importantly, where were the 200 people who should be down here with me??
The temperature reminded me that I was far below the Paris streets. My hands were cold and clammy. “Bone juice” dripped from the low ceilings that created a mucky, wet ground that would squish with each step I took. Why did I come here by myself?
I decided to take a video of me walking in my state of panic. A distraction to calm the nerves. I don’t say anything in the video but I think the silence and darkness gives you a sense of my Blair Witch Project moment.
After, I don’t know how many minutes, I could finally hear faint voices in the distance. A deep sigh of relief was taken as I hurried ahead and found people. They were at the entrance of the ossuary. I stuck close to them as we wandered past all the intricately piled bones that lined the walls. Human bones of approximately 6 million humans. It was an eerie sadness that I felt.
I still don’t know how I ended up all alone at the start. I had walked for 1.5 km by myself in the dark Paris tunnels. And I survived!
Hope your Halloween is frightenly good as that day I had in Paris’ underground!
