The terms dark internet or dark address refer to any or all of the unreachable network hosts on the Internet. It should not be confused with deep web, dark web or darknet. The first two of these refer to Web sites that, intentionally or not, are hard to find. This may be either because there are no hypertext links to their content or because their content is dynamically generated, for example from constantly-changing databases, and so search engines have trouble indexing it.

The Dark Lady is a woman referred to by William Shakespeare in a number of his sonnets. In particular, sonnets 127–152 are addressed directly to her; they are sometimes called the Dark Lady sonnets. The Dark Lady sonnets are explicitly sexual in character, in contrast to those written to the "Fair Lord". It is implied that the "I" of the sonnets and the Lady had a passionate affair, but that she was unfaithful, perhaps with the "Fair Lord". The poet self-deprecatingly describes himself as balding and middle-aged at the time of the affair. The Lady herself is referred to as 'dark' because ...

Appearing first in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Dark Samus is the evil twin/doppelgänger of Samus Aran.

The phrase the Dark Ages (or Dark Age) is most commonly known in relation to the European Early Middle Ages (from about A.D. 476 to about 1000). This concept of a "Dark Age" was first created by Italian humanists and was originally intended as a sweeping criticism of the character of Late Latin literature. Later historians expanded the term to include not only the lack of Latin literature, but a lack of contemporary written history and material cultural achievements in general. Popular culture has further expanded on the ...

Army of Darkness (1993) is the third installment of the Evil Dead film trilogy, written and directed by Sam Raimi and starring Bruce Campbell. This movie takes a more humorous bent than its predecessors; as a matter of fact, to refer to this movie as comedy would not be inaccurate. The advertising tagline was "Trapped in Time. Surrounded by Evil. Low on Gas." The protagonist, Ash (Campbell), who, in the previous The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II discovered the Necronomicon ex Mortis, or "Book of ...

A dark horse candidate is one who is nominated unexpectedly, without previously having been discussed or considered as a likely choice. Often a dark horse is selected as a compromise when other, more prominent candidates' factions cannot come to an agreement. This metaphoric expression originally alluded to an unknown horse winning a race and was so used in a novel by Benjamin Disraeli (The Young Duke, 1831). The expression was soon applied to political candidates, among the first of whom was James Knox Polk. He won the ...

It is unclear what exactly constitutes Dark magic in the wizarding world, but it is implied that magic is Dark if it may only be used for evil or criminal purposes. In magical duelling, for example, there are any number of spells that may be used to attack, immobilise or disarm an opponent without causing pain or lasting harm; only Dark spells like the Cruciatus Curse or Sectumsempra actually wound or seriously distress a victim. Some Dark magic can corrupt the soul and body, and it is magic of this kind that Lord Voldemort has used t ...

Just as normal wizards create items of power, so do those who practice the Dark Arts. Of these, the most notable is the horcrux, an object infused with a piece of the creator's torn soul. Creating a horcux is one of the darkest magical acts, as the creator must commit murder to tear their soul as part of the process. This item bears a striking similarity to a phylactery, a fantasy object that cotains a spellcasters soul turning them into a lich. The phylactery too can resurrect the creator. The Dark Items can be divided into two main uses: To aid the user of the item. To curse o ...
