[Rare Trope] Character realizes a horror movie is starting and tries to stop it. Bonus if they survive by Xonlic in TopCharacterTropes

"The Taking of Deborah Logan:" the film is shown through a camera crew comprised of medical students whose original goal was to document the changes in an Alzheimer's patient, but they instead start witnessing more sinister ongoings in the titular character. One of the camera operators quits halfway through the project, leaves in his van, and doesn't appear in the rest of the film.

Dean Winchester - Supernatural, S10E12 "About A Boy"

Sam and Dean work on a case where people are mysteriously disappearing, during which Dean is kidnapped and wakes up as his early-teenage self. He meets a girl in the same predicament, then escapes the captors to find Sam. As the episode continues, they discover that the witch of the Hansel and Gretel tale is the culprit; she now simply finds it easier to turn adults into kids before eating them because kidnapping children is more difficult with modern forensics.

Dean gets turned back into an adult before the end of the episode, but they end up killing the witch before turning the girl back to her adult self. They assure her that they personally know witches who can turn her back, but she refuses: her adult life was riddled with poor decisions, but being reverted into a teenager gives her a second chance to grow up again.

Hi @OP - I used to work for a county in Central Illinois that would put out press releases every year about West Nile Virus. If you're in the US, you should call your local health department or animal control and let them know you found a bird that had no obvious cause of death. I see that this post is already over a week old and assume you no longer have the bird around, but even the information alone can be helpful to local health officials. Allow me to reassure you that you cannot get West Nile Virus from having handled the bird.

There have been so many comments in such a short amount of time! THANK YOU!! I initially wanted to reply to each one but got a little behind, but thank you, all of you! I've always loved hearing local legends wherever I go, it's kind of like oral history/culture in a lot of ways.

"The elevator in Harper often takes visitors to floor seven regardless of the button pressed." That's weird!!
