Are you ready to lose sleep tonight? This collection of terrifying tales will ensure that you do!

The Paper Mache Man, an urban legend come to life, stalks two teens obsessed with finding something truly scary. A man responds to an online ad looking for people to be hunted for sport. Every Halloween, a mysterious bowl of candy appears in front of an abandoned house with a sign that reads "Take One". A police officer is hunted through a nightmarish abandoned factory by a sadistic pig-human monster. When a group of children brings a magical snowman to life, they discover he is no jolly happy soul. A con artist confronts real terror in a house cleansing gone terribly wrong.

These tales and others will have you questioning the things you see, flinching at the things you hear, and wondering if you really did lock the doors.
