Chahud The Dream Demon

Have you ever heard of the classic horror villain known as Chahud? It came from the writer known as Daniel King, Chahud's legacy began as a horror novel, which became so successful in the early 1980s that several supernatural slasher movies were made. In these horror stories; Chahud was a demon who preyed on fear, to defeat the monster, one must overcome the horror of his grotesque threats and appearance. Unlike most villains, the book or movies (that expanded upon the demon's story and lore) never tried to kill or destroy Chahud for good, the demon was truly immortal and simply moved on to the next victim. Chahud was a shape shifter, a devilish beast whose true appearance was never truly exposed. The book described the demon as a sort of bug-like monster, with multiple legs and arms, with black skin covered in long sticky hairs. However, that description was only what some of the demon's victims saw, others described the beast as being lizard-like with green scales and sharp teeth, like a dragon or dinosaur. Then the films depicted the demon's true form as a giant bat beast, later it became a six eyed slug and the most ridiculous form was of a great big pink bear, with red eyes of fire! The conclusion is that Chahud had no such 'true form' as the demon morphs so much it is simply a mess of all forms of monster imaginable. What Daniel didn't include in his book (or the films that followed), was how Chahud spread terror and death in the real world that we all, horrifyingly, live in. Chahud in fiction simply haunted houses like any other poltergeist, however the demon's true methods of terror were through the many nightmares of the audience who watched or read about it. You see, Chahud was no work of fiction, at least not entirely, for there was a dark truth behind this beloved horror icon. It was a dream demon, an ancient legend of devils who invaded dreams to possess and torment their prey. With the book and Chahud's many films; the demon's legend spread and people all around the world saw, heard or read about the beast and so had dark dreams about the creature. There, in those surreal dreamscapes; Chahud would show, taking the form of the dreamer's darkest fears by remembering their most traumatising scene from the book or films. This was the insidious truth behind Chahud's many forms in his stories, it was to target everyone's phobia who studied the demon's legend. Then it could terrorise their victims to the fullest extent, driving many former fans to madness, into comas or even suicide. It was a demon that for many years, through the 1980s to late 1990s; it feasted on the minds of terrified souls and collected many who either died of fear or acted out Chahud's desires of murder, as some even became possessed by the demon and Chahud used these poor people bodies to kill further innocents, inciting a truer essence of fear by presenting blissfully unaware victims of a deranged killer that wore many human skins. The book and films were harmless horror fun, made to scare but entertain millions across the globe, but it was rumoured that Daniel King himself made a deal with this particular devil. That Chahud would gift the aspiring author the fame, fortune and recognition he so desperately wanted. Many theorise this to be fact, as the author was an unknown before his huge breakthrough which was his book about Chahud and the film's success, which also brought him much further wealth and attention, alongside all the cast members who participated in the film creations. Everyone involved with these productions was gifted fame and fortune beyond their most wildest of desires! Every film spawned a new Hollywood star and shaped the horror movie genre into the gore feats we know and love today. Yet, the reason nobody remembers the classic Chahud films as of 2024, is because the many deaths and killings surrounding the franchise's fanbase became such a wide spread occurrence, the entire series was banned worldwide by late 2000. TV Shows stopped discussing the series, theatres destroyed all copies of the Chahud films. Over a million Chahud books were burnt, never to be reprinted. Any and all mention of Chahud was simply shut down and silenced by the government. Nobody has uttered the demon's name in almost 30 years until this very horror story that you are reading right now. To further prove the fact that Daniel King was an agent of Chahud's legacy, once the demon's legend had died for over a year, Daniel died of mysterious circumstances in 2001. Many speculated the author's time was up, due to the fact Chahud could no longer terrify the earth and kill/torment prey through their many dreams, Chahud took its vengeance out upon the messenger that made the demon famous. Since then, the legend of Chahud has faltered dramatically. Only the oldest of horror fans remember the monster's movies. They'll tell you how much scarier those films were compared to any other horror movie out there. That they had the best effects imaginable, with only the most believable acting. That Chahud was a demon so life-like and realistic, the films often felt like documentaries, rather than fictional B-movie slop. Of course, not everyone who consumed Chahud media was bewitched or haunted by the demon, perhaps because there were far too many souls on earth to truly harvest. Maybe the film's message was actually true, that Chahud leaves those most brave alone, so some horror fans may not have feared the demon enough to warrant a visit from it. Of course, the legend of this demon could all be nonsense. Perhaps the media simply blamed the monster story for all the real life terror that happened (and still happens) in our everyday lives. It could be that Daniel just partied too hard back in 2001 one night and woke up dead, perhaps from an overdose using a drug most medical examiners didn't know about. There could be a reasonable explanation behind all of this lunacy, that there was never a real demon, that it was simply just a horror series so effective it truly scared the world silly, driving many to insanity through sheer creative horror by the deranged mind of a mad man with a pen, calling himself the author Daniel King. Whatever the case may be, the legend of Chahud certainly installed a sense of frantic terror into the hearts of many across the globe, during the 1980s especially.

It is rumoured that not all book and VHS copies of Chahud's horror stories were entirely erased. It is believed that there are some dark corners of the dark web where rare collections of the films are still sold for steep amounts, some claim the last editions of the book are worth over 700,000 United States Dollars, while each film is worth at least $200,000USD. Only the richest elites in our society can access these stories, but they are still considered illegal to purchase to this day. The millionaires who manage to buy these Chahud books and films have mostly ended up either dead or serial killers after witnessing the contents of these horror productions. Not all of them have gone mad, but most have and that's enough to warn anyone not to engage with anything Chahud related. More disturbing than that, are the horror stories of old charity shops or market stalls that have sold dusty copies of the book or many films in their stores. Sometimes ancient antiques worth thousands get lost in the world and end up in the hands of clueless sellers. There are many tales of people finding rare jewellery for cheap, only for them to be secret fortunes that pay off marvelously. The same can be said for rare comics and other pop culture collectibles, found in years old discount bins. You never truly know how much anything could be worth in the future, until that time passes. Some collectors have discovered these rare, misplaced Chahud relics and chosen to sell them off for insane profits. Those are the nice, happy and good stories of lucky flippers who find buried treasure (metaphorically) and now live luxurious lives like the author who spread Chahud's word and the many cast members involved in the making of said films. Yet, for every lucky reseller, there have been many others who bought and watched the Chahud films secondhand, without knowing the curse behind the legend; only to experience intense night terrors of the Chahud demon, terrorising their sleeping minds with ultimate horror, unlike anything you could possibly fathom to imagine! Ironically such a tale as this one, those about a rare and cursed video tape which drives the watcher insane or towards death, sounds eerily similar to the plot of a horror movie in of itself. Unfortunately, due to the fact Chahud has been forgotten for so, so long; most who encounter anything Chahud related won't ever know the true danger that they are in, until it is far, far too late. So beware of Chahud, the demon of dreams, the demon of nightmares, madness and murder. If ever you see or hear of such a monster. Avoid it at all costs, you don't want to witness the true essence of horror incarnate. Even if you're a horror junkie, one who wishes to read, watch or experience the most horrific stories imaginable. I can tell you, with the utmost certainty, that after witnessing Chahud for yourself, you'll live to regret that decision. The demon might even possess you and kill your whole family, all the while you'll be powerless to stop the monster. Watching from within your own body, unable to control it, as Chahud makes your arms slice your mother to death with a kitchen knife. Perhaps Chahud will make your body bite your sister's face off like the cheese from a pizza, leaving blood and skull upon her once delicate head. Maybe Chahud will make you grab a potato peeler and skin your father alive, before frying him on a giant campfire. Then Chahud might turn you into a cannibal, as the demon controls your jaw, making you bite and chew on the flesh of your family's calves like crispy chicken wings. The demon may trick your mind into enjoying their human flesh, making it taste better than roast beef! Chahud can control you entirely if you let the demon do so. Otherwise, it will just terrorise you into madness anyway. Unlike the films, escape seems impossible once Chahud gets a hold of you, there may be no exit from this living hell! Then you'd be the demon's plaything, its toy, abused and thrown around until you too are dead. Then that will be the mercy you'll finally receive, to finally be free of such torture, agony and humiliation. Death will be your reward, your final fantasy come true. Your happy ending after experiencing true terror and horror alike. I'm very sorry if you dream of Chahud tonight, whether the demon appears as the many legged insect, the roaring lizard, giant bat, six eyed slug or pink furred bear. If you see it tonight, please just run, in your dreams, as hard as it may be to control them, don't think of Chahud, it will be hard and full of effort not to imagine that cruel morphing demon after witnessing it, yet you must try. Because once you let Chahud into your body, the demon's never going to leave!
