I've been going over several scenarios for making a story like this much more terrifying. One of them involves an infestation of animals pests like flies, spiders, wasps or rats, but people would dismiss this sort of occurrences as ordinary run-of-the-mill stuff that comes with moving into a new house or having a rental. Another sub-plot scenario involves one kid (not the Kevin character) showing several of other classmates what this previous occultist renter did to this one room of his father's rental. This previous tenant had disappeared mysteriously, leaving much of his stuff behind. One of the kids has a delinquent cousin who finds what she thought was a box of fancy candy hidden under the corner of the room. That "candy" turns out to be stolen faerie food and eating it has very disastrous consequences. Eventually, it result in a chain reaction curse that soon affect the whole town, resulting in several disappearances and deaths in the months that follow.

Unfortunately, all of these seem to become entirely separate stories that seem to do well in an ordinary setting such as Curtisville.
