What Happens At The End Of Weird Walk: Number Two - Samhain 2019?

Man, 'Weird Walk: Number Two - Samhain 2019' is such a niche gem—it feels like stumbling upon a secret folklore tome left behind by some wandering mystic. The ending is this beautifully eerie crescendo where the themes of seasonal cycles and ancient rituals really come full circle. There’s a section where the contributors delve into personal reflections about Samhain traditions, mixed with these hauntingly poetic accounts of rural walks under the autumn moon. It’s not a narrative with a plot twist, but more like a communal campfire where stories dissolve into the night. The final pages feature these stark, ink-heavy illustrations of skeletal trees and crumbling stone circles, which linger in your mind long after you close the zine. I remember feeling oddly peaceful yet unsettled, like I’d peeked through a veil into something older and weirder than everyday life.

What really stuck with me was how it captures that liminal space between autumn and winter—the way the zine’s layout itself feels like a ritual. The last essay ties modern urban loneliness to old harvest customs, suggesting that we’re all still subconsciously marking these ancient turning points, even if we’ve forgotten why. It’s less about a definitive conclusion and more about awakening a sense of connection to the land. After reading, I went for a midnight walk in the woods, and I swear the shadows felt… different. That’s the magic of 'Weird Walk'—it doesn’t just describe weirdness; it conjures it.

As a folk-horror enthusiast, I adored how 'Weird Walk: Number Two' ends with this quiet, creeping ambiguity. The Samhain issue leans hard into atmospheric storytelling—think crumbling churchyards, whispered superstitions, and half-remembered chants. The final piece is a first-person account of a solo pilgrimage to a standing stone at dusk, where the writer describes hearing faint drumming in the wind. It’s left deliberately unclear whether it’s real or imagined, which perfectly mirrors the zine’s love for blurring folklore and personal hallucination. The very last page is just a single line of lyrics from an obscure 70s folk song, faded as if handwritten in moonlight. No explanations, no closure—just vibes. It’s the kind of ending that makes you want to immediately flip back to page one and start again, hunting for clues you missed.
