Welcome to a spine-chilling New Year's Eve special of Monsters After Midnight, where time itself becomes our most relentless adversary. In tonight's episode, we delve into the haunting legend of the Clockmaker's Curse. As the clock ticks towards the stroke of midnight, join us on a journey back to an 18th-century European village to unravel the tragic tale of Johann Richter. His obsession with mastering time led to the creation of a magnificent clock, only for it to herald his doom and a night of chaos that still echoes through the centuries.

The ominous chimes of Johann's clock have continued to reverberate through history, encapsulating tales of wealthy industrialists struck down at the moment of celebration and clocks gone awry, harboring sinister secrets. On a night when the past and future collide, we confront our deepest fears of time's passage.

Venture into the world of cursed objects and the supernatural as you listen to eerie encounters with haunted clocks in modern times. These stories bind us to a timeless terror, reminding us of our fragile relationship with the inexorable passage of time.

As the New Year approaches, heed this midnight warning: time is both a gift and a threat. So when the clocks strike twelve, remember – each tick is a step towards the unknown...
