What really lurks under your bed?
Would you like to know about the madness of clowns - or the helpless cries of the Doughboy as he’s stuffed into the oven?
Perhaps you fear being trapped in an elevator…for a rather long period of time. Or going on vacation... to a land where screams are eternal, and the tears are rivers of red.
