Sinopse

M.R. James (1862–1936) was a medievalist scholar; Provost of King's College, Cambridge. He wrote many of his ghost stories to be read aloud in the long tradition of spooky Christmas Eve tales. His stories often use rural settings, with a quiet, scholarly protagonist getting caught up in the activities of supernatural forces. The details of horror are almost never explicit, the stories relying on a gentle, bucolic background to emphasise the awfulness of the otherworldly intrusions.

    BEDLAM; A Wychwood Ghost Story...

    London, 1895. Beneath the grandeur of Queen Victoria’s reign, shadows lengthen. Private asylums thrive, promising rest for troubled minds, yet many conceal despair rather than cure it. None more so than Fairheather Asylum for the Infirmed and Lunatic—a place where hope decays in candlelit corridors, and whispers linger long after midnight. 
    Emily, unwillingly confined, seeks solace at her favorite window in the Day Room. Beyond the mews she chases glimpses of the emperor butterfly, said to grant wishes to the pure of heart. Yet one window remains bare, lifeless, avoided even by insects. And there, framed in peeling paint and grime, waits the figure she dreads most: a gaunt specter draped in tatters, hair like tangled roots, eyes black as voids. Its lips move without sound, repeating the same chilling demand—“Where are my beads? Where are my beads?” 
    The haunting is no accident. Its roots lie far from London, in the ancient soil of the Wychwood borderlands where four counties meet. A century ago, in a plow-field near Oddington House, something was unearthed that should have remained buried. What was disturbed has cursed Emily’s bloodline ever since, binding her to the phantom that now stalks her reflection. 
    Each episode of BEDLAM: A Wychwood Ghost Story peels back layers of horror: the buried relic, the sins of a family long damned, the cruelties of doctors who confuse torment with treatment. A tale of inheritance, madness, and the hunger of the dead, BEDLAM invites you into a world where reason falters, the past refuses burial, and the ghost at the window grows stronger with every glance. 
    Step into Fairheather. Listen for the whispers. Watch the windows. 
    But do not meet her gaze too long.

    In Dedra L. Stevenson's first horror thriller, a young woman unleashes a terror in the form of a dark entity upon her life. Unlike Stevenson's work in Fantasy Fiction and Courtroom Drama, The Skinwalker: Resurrection promises psychological thrills like no other—a dark spirit, a possession, a hidden identity, a love story, the mighty tribe of the Navajo, and a finale that will surprise you. 
      
    Shortly after the discovery of a mysterious book of witchcraft spells in her home, Carmella unknowingly invites something sinister into her world, a long-deceased Navajo skinwalker, and this skinwalker wants to walk the Earth in human flesh again. The witch's faithful servant follows each step that Carmella takes as he serves his Mistress. 
      
    Slowly but surely, she falls prey to the darkness, and only the tribe is left to help her. With the support of her friends and the man that she loves, she is taken to the reservation and a traditional ceremony ensues. Carmella becomes the mortal captive of Haseeya, the Skinwalker witch, and the tribe must ask for the help of an ancient force from the stars.

    A haunting journey into a forgotten valley... where the wind carries terror. 
    In this gripping tale from science fiction master H.G. Wells, three relentless pursuers chase a fleeing girl and her companion across a desolate wilderness—only to enter a remote valley shrouded in silence, stillness... and something far worse. As drifting globes of cobweb descend like ghostly invaders, the hunters become the hunted in a surreal battle against monstrous, skyborne spiders. 
    Tense, atmospheric, and disturbingly prophetic, The Valley of Spiders is a masterclass in creeping dread and moral unraveling—blending the stark frontier of a Western with the strange unease of cosmic horror. 
    Narrated with chilling clarity by Myriam Berger, this classic short story lingers long after the final word.

    This is a dramatic adaptation of Lovecraft's classic tale of the macabre, "Pickman's Model". First published in 1927, the story is recounted by Thurber, an art enthusiast, who describes his unsettling experiences with the reclusive artist Richard Upton Pickman.
