On Night 26 of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special, we step into the flickering workshop of memory with “My Grandfather’s Final Invention” by Alice Thompson—a haunting story of legacy, obsession, and the ghosts we leave behind in the name of progress.
It begins with a granddaughter uncovering the remnants of her grandfather’s secret work—an invention whispered about but never revealed. What she finds in the dust and shadows of his abandoned study challenges everything she thought she knew about him. Piece by piece, the truth begins to take shape: a machine built not to serve, but to remember; not to live, but to linger.
As the story unfolds, the line between creation and curse grows dangerously thin. The question becomes not what he built—but why it’s still running.
