The Man in the Storm Drain: A Suburban Nightmare That Won’t Go Away
We moved into the house on Maplewood Drive when I was eight. A quiet cul-de-sac in a sleepy New Hampshire town, the kind of place where Halloween decorations stayed up until Thanksgiving and neighbors waved whether they liked you or not.

The Haunting Hour
At exactly midnight, the old grandfather clock in the hall began its mournful chime, marking the beginning of the Haunting Hour. It was the one time every night when the house seemed to breathe, its walls whispering secrets best left forgotten.

ROADSIDE
At night, the dark highway is alive with things glanced from the corner of my eye. As the painted white lines rush by, my headlights mould the shadows behind passing signs and metallic grey barriers into figures that shy away as I pass.

The Flesh
Alice Newton didn't understand what was happening to her body. Sometimes she would wake up in extreme pain, her lower back mimicking a stranger dragging their nails across her pale skin. Or she would begin to bleed from her hands, nose, or eyes, and she would quickly excuse herself before it got worse. Her husband was concerned.

“He Cheated. I Exposed Everything.”
A raw story of trust, betrayal, and the moment my world fell apart. I never thought I’d be the type of person to write something like this. I always believed that trust was the foundation of love. I gave my heart fully, without doubt, without fear. But the day I caught my partner cheating, everything I believed in shattered — not just about them, but about myself, and about what love truly means.

Dolls With Blinking Eyes
A cold dread settled over me the moment I knew a daughter was coming. Not because of the life itself, but because of the inevitable intrusion of them. Not Barbies, which were plastic and safe, but the others. The lifelike ones. The blinkers. The talkers. A visceral revulsion ran through my veins, an inexplicable, deep-seated terror I couldn't articulate, only obey.

The Secret Smile of the Labubu Doll
By Habib On the dusty shelf of a tiny antique shop hidden behind ivy-covered walls, the Labubu doll sat alone. Its wide grin, stitched with golden thread, seemed to watch every visitor with an unsettling curiosity. People passed it by—most didn’t notice the doll at all. But those who did, they either shuddered or stared for a moment too long, unable to say why its round eyes and sly smile tugged at something deep in their chest.

I was pretty surprised with how original this film was. I was not expecting the story to get that crazy as it progressed.

Crocodile's Dreams
“I had that dream again.” I said. “Which one is that?” “The one where I’m back at Saint Joseph’s.” “The rehab facility? You haven’t been there in over ten years.” Dr. Stuart paused, allowing the silence to be filled with the ticking of his ornate fish clock and our collective breathing. “Why do you think you’re having dreams of Saint Joseph’s?” The good doctor finally said.
