The Mystery Man Who Landed in Japan With a Passport From Nowhere
In the summer heat of 1959, Tokyo’s busy Haneda Airport became the stage for one of the strangest encounters in modern travel history. A well-dressed man, confident and fluent in several languages, stepped off a plane from Hong Kong and approached immigration like any other traveler. At first, nothing seemed unusual—another businessman or globe-trotter passing through one of Asia’s busiest air gateways. But when he handed over his passport, the story took a turn that continues to unsettle researchers and storytellers alike.

Rapt in Plastic
1993 was the year we discovered not who killed Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee)—we had already learned that a year or two previously, if memory serves. After her killer was revealed, her homicidally incestuous entanglement with demon-possessed father Leland (Ray Wise) came to an end, leaving the series, which had hinged on this particular salient plot point, feeling adrift, and soon to be given the unceremonious axe. What was left over, the remains, though not as their mysterious, tragic, all-American, blue-tinged beauty Laura might suggest, were not washed up on a riverbank, wrapped in plastic, but would go on to become one of the cult hit television oddities of all time.

The Slasher Problem. Top Story - September 2025.
Imagine you're reading a story about someone who's trapped in a room with a hungry tiger. As a normal, comparatively weak human being they have no hope of besting the tiger in a fight. However, in the far corner of the room is a high-caliber hunting rifle: the perfect defense against a dangerous predator, if they could only get to it. Through trickery and careful maneuvering, the protagonist finally manages to secure the rifle. They turn it on the tiger, aim, fire, and the shot hits the animal directly between the eyes. The tiger immediately falls to the ground. It's a wound deadly enough to kill anything, after all.

Run Is A Sci-Fi Movie That Knows A Broken Heart Is Scarier Than Aliens by NWO Sparrow
I am so tired of watching people just be scared of aliens. It is not that the screaming and the running is not fun. It is. But after a while, it all blends together. The fear is generic. The hero is just trying to live. There is no texture to it.

The Last Message
It started with a message... Emma, a 23-year-old student from London, had always been curious about the darker side of the internet. A self-proclaimed “paranormal enthusiast,” she loved browsing through mysterious forums, reading creepy tales, and watching strange, unsolved disappearances. One night, after scrolling through a forum she hadn’t visited before, she came across an unusual post titled “Send a Message to the Future, and It Will Reply.”

The Knock at 2 A.M.
I don’t usually wake up at 2 A.M. I am the kind of person who sleeps like a rock. But that night, something pulled me out of my dreams—like a string yanking me awake.

SEASON 2 : The Black Lung Communion: How a Surgeon’s Journal Sparked a Demonic Outbreak
CHAPTER 3: THE INTRAVENOUS CONFESSION The iron door to the old wing was cold, its surface pitted with rust and something darker that looked like old bloodstains. The master key felt alien in Liam’s hand, a sliver of cold metal that seemed to pulse with a malevolent life of its own.

Cradle of Death
What wouldn’t a mother do? If she was truly committed to saving the life of her sick baby, apparently, next to nothing. In this Season One episode of the always excellent "Friday the Thirteenth: The Series," a woman named Leslie Kent (Lynn Cormack, in a role with a sort of suburban evil queen aspect to it) with a coffin-like cradle and her weak, easily dominated husband seek to preserve the life of a sick infant (read: changeling child) by hunting down and murdering folks. Near a body of water.

Don’t Open the Door
I’ve always thought living alone was freedom. No arguments about dishes, no noise I didn’t choose, no one asking why I was awake at three in the morning. Just me, my books, and the quiet.

The Black Lung Communion: How a Surgeon’s Journal Sparked a Demonic Outbreak
CHAPTER 1: “THE BREATHING X-RAY” The air in St. Hedwig’s records room smelled of yellowing paper and regret. It was a scent Dr. Liam Evans had grown accustomed to over twenty years of service, but tonight, it felt different. Thicker. As if the walls themselves were holding their breath.

The Room Number 313
When I first moved near the university, I was desperate to find a place I could actually afford. Prices were insane, but then I saw an ad that seemed almost too good to be true: “Small room for rent, cheap price, available immediately.”
