Summary
Please share Weird Darkness with others; it helps me to continue creating content as often as I do as well as spreading the word about resources available for those who struggle with depression.
IN THIS EPISODE: it’s #CreepypastaThursday! I’ll be sharing three stories this week.
I begin with a great short story by Ray Nelson called “Eight O’Clock in the Morning” – the story that the movie “They Live” starring Roddy Piper, directed by John Carpenter, is based upon – a cult favorite. *** I’ll share a story adapted from the old radio show “Quiet Please” called “The Room Where the Stars Live”. *** We’ll wrap up tonight’s episode with a story from the Creepypasta.com website: J.M. Cenammo’s “The Trunk”.
