Summary

In this unforgettable episode of Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, we invite you into a world where survival depends on obedience—and disobedience invites something far worse than death. One man finds himself trapped in a waking nightmare, bound to a set of rules he doesn’t remember agreeing to… and stalked by a presence that always seems to know when he’s about to slip. Performed by the master of modern horror narration, Jay of Horror on the Rocks, this episode is a haunting descent into isolation, obsession, and the quiet, creeping horror that waits just outside the light. If you've ever felt something watching from the corner of the room—or whispering behind your name—this one’s for you. Turn off the lights. Follow the rules. And whatever you do… don’t break the last one.
