A man’s late-night drive turns into a nightmare when a blood-soaked, seven-foot rat follows him home from the forest.

Driving home at 3:30 a.m. on a silent suburban road should have been routine for one exhausted man. But when something crawled out of the woods and into his headlights, his world veered straight into nightmare. What he saw wasn’t human—and it wasn’t any animal he could recognize. Standing seven feet tall, covered in ...

Trapped in a haunted gas-station bathroom on a deserted highway, a trucker discovers some reflections don’t want to let you leave.

Jake thought he’d seen it all on the road—lonely highways, empty diners, midnight storms—but nothing prepared him for the bathroom behind the gas station at Mile 93. A flickering light. A cracked mirror. A voice that hummed from the walls, whispering his name. When the air turns cold and your reflection ...

A Plastic Halloween Skeleton by Mak Ralston

We hung that cheap plastic skeleton in the oak tree every fall like we always did. It wasn’t special. Dollar store bones, fake glow-in-the-dark paint, plastic joints that clicked in the wind. The neighbors rolled their eyes. My mom said it was “tradition.” My dad used it to scare me in a way that somehow made me feel safer. And then he went to war and didn’t come home.
After that, Halloween...

I Am Halloween by Natron25

Halloween is supposed to be pretend. Costumes, candy, fake monsters. Kids laugh in rubber masks, parents stand on porches talking about work and weather, and everyone goes to bed thinking it was all harmless. That’s what the town believes. That’s what they need to believe.
But Halloween isn’t a game. Not here.
Something old lives under this neighborhood. Something that remembers when October 23rd was the onl...

Every Halloween, residents of Brookhaven hear three knocks at their doors — long after the trick-or-treaters are gone. They smell gun smoke and copper but never see anyone outside. The legend says it all started with three teens who went too far one Halloween night — and who still come back, year after year, to finish their game.

A teenage girl settles in for an easy babysitting job. The kids are asleep, the house is quiet, and the phone keeps ringing. The voice on the other end asks her one question — “Have you checked the children?” What begins as an ordinary night becomes th...
