A rundown but revered theater is about to see its final performance before going out in a blaze of glory. Plus, stardom and artistry are two different things, getting embalmed saves time and money for zombies trying to live in the real world, and always make sure your partner is breathing before getting busy.
An institution for criminal boys hides a sinister secret. Plus, a new teacher can’t leave well enough alone, there are some major Lord of the Flies vibes, and does this giant pig actually talk?
A low-level demon suffers from anxiety and depression as it struggles to break an imbecile. Plus, exploding cats, reanimated turkeys, and a “Zoom” with Beelzebub doesn’t go as intended.
Where does the subway end in NYC? You don’t want to know. Plus, an old butcher has delusions of grandeur, a train car slaughterhouse emboldens Kaufman with newfound bravery, and years of loyal service don’t always amount to a great reward.
An evil queen plotting to murder her stepdaughter ISN’T the most disturbing thing about this fairy tale. Plus, the huntsman is no hero, the magic mirror seems like it could be a lot more useful, and nobody cares about the OG queen.
A duke goes to Hell and plays cards with the Devil to win back his soul.
Plus, Poe goes overboard with the French, and I’m officially worried about this early stretch of his stories.
Poe’s first story, about a boy and his horse. Except the boy is a sociopath, the horse is possessed, and there’s some real unhealthy obsession going on.
A handsome young psychic enacts a bold–or stupid–plan in a house haunted by the worst kind of violent ghosts.
They don’t like it. And they want to tell their real stories–even if it means carving their own Book of Blood.
