The lights are low. The previews are over. The film begins… In this haunting episode of FFTH, what begins as an investigation into a missing audience spirals into something far more disturbing. Inside an aging suburban theater, the shadows stretch too long, the air buzzes with forgotten memories, and the screen holds more than a story—it holds a secret. One that shouldn’t be seen. One that refuses to fade. So grab your popcorn, but...

From abandoned mausoleums to back-alley bars, whispers grow louder: of shadows with no eyes, of men who shouldn’t be breathing, and of a darkn...

When an unstoppable force begins its quiet invasion, one man finds himself fighting a war no one else seems to see, a war where the enemy is small but merciless, methodical, and multiplying. Paul J. McSorley delivers a chilling performance in tonight’s story,...
