Storyline
A shamed puppeteer specializing in children’s entertainment comes back to his deteriorated childhood abode, where he encounters his unsavory stepfather. Driven by the desire to obliterate ‘Possum,’ a grotesquely deformed spider puppet he keeps in a weathered brown leather case, his psyche is inundated with haunting fragments of recollections and unsettling hallucinations.

You better not watch or read them alone at home in the dark. These terrifying stories will horrify you and will take away your sleep.
