An anthology series of terror features diverse characters facing primal fears in spine-chilling situations that stretch past daily routine.

I went on a date with
a really wonderful guy.

Now I shouldn't get my hopes up,

but this one seemed different.

I was really nervous,
so it didn't start out great.

So that's cool.

Um, so you design houses?

I work with clients
and I print 3-D models

to help them visualize
their designs.

Mmhmm.

Yeah, sorry, it's a little dull.

What about you?



How long you been
at the hospital?

Uh well, been working
there for a while.

So I did um, my first uh...

My mom always wanted
me to be a doctor,

but I can't stand hospitals.

Sorry.

Um, been a while since I've...
It's fine.

I was about to leave, but
then, something happened.

Ken?

- Hey, Sharon.
- Hey.

Are you back at work yet?

Still on leave.

Being a mom suits you.

You have got this glow.



Oh.

Could I uh, I mean is
it, could I hold him?

Yeah, of course.

You ready?

Let's say hi to Uncle Ken.

Hi, okay.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

♪ He seemed nice and
a really good guy ♪

Reminds me of my little Iris.

Wait, you're a mom?

Nine months and a week.

I'll
let you guys get back to it.

It was great seeing you.

Bye Gregory.

You didn't say you have
a child on your profile.

It's usually not the most
attractive quality to men.

So,

is that a problem?

No, no, I love kids.

All I want to be is a good dad.

Family is everything, so
that's really good to hear.

♪ And a really good guy ♪

♪ Not like ♪

Oh, I almost forgot,

brought something
for the house today.

Perfect.

Goodnight my little love.

Hey.

Hey.

He finally
stopped crying long enough

to take a bottle.

Sorry, he's extra fussy tonight.

Now, where were we?

How old is he?

Seven months.

Mm.

Whoa, I

you're meant to breast feed
'til they're a year old.

Mm, yeah, he never
latched properly

and I missed my
boobs being just mine

so the bottle was easier.

Stayed full longer, less crying.

Don't report me to
the parent police.

People will say I'm a bad
mom because I don't want my

nipples to look
like dinner plates.

Hm, well,

they're right.

What?

Mm, you're bad.

Well.

Okay.

I will be bad just for you.

You have a strange
man in your house.

And you ignore your baby.

You don't breast feed.

You're a bad mother.

Wait, what?

You're bad.

What the hell, dude?

No!

Shh shh.

Shh.

Okay, shh.

She was no good for you.

You'll be okay.

It's better this
way, you'll see.

Shh, shh.

Uh, I'd like to report
an abandoned baby.

Hi, how was the date last night?

Good, really good, actually.

It started out a bit awkward,

but then something shifted.

I'm seeing him again tonight.

That's great, how is Iris?

You'll have to
bring her in soon.

Soon.

I just worry about
her with new people.

I know I'm being a bit paranoid,

but I couldn't bear it
if something happened.

I completely get it.

Yeah.

You wouldn't believe how fast

my heart was beating all night.

Well, my stories
aren't that interesting.

I just, I feel
like I go to work,

I deal with clients,
come back home,

look after Iris, repeat.

It felt so
good to tell him about you.

If I could stay home all
day with her though, I would.

She's everything to me.

Being a mom is everything
that I'd hoped it would be.

So Iris' dad,
doesn't ever help out?

Uh my ex wasn't
ready to have kids

and I kept miscarrying.

He couldn't take it anymore.

He said we had to
stop and he left.

Not everybody's cut
out for parenthood.

What about you, your parents?

I never knew my father.

And my mother wasn't
exactly the best mom ever,

like, there were all
sorts of guys around.

I remember the one
day, I came home

and she had just left.

Later I felt relief

and angry.

But everybody's got
their baggage, right?

And I just want to be
a parent, you know?

I just want to be a good father.

You're gonna be a great father.

I mean I think it's
great that you have it all.

You're a great mother and uh,

you have a full-time career and

and uh, you know, most, most
women couldn't balance both.

You cold?

Yeah.

Here, put this on.

No, no, no.

Put it on.

I have a better idea.

I haven't been held like
this in a really long time.

It feels like home.

I know.

I feel the same way.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Right, not here.

Let's go to your place, we'll
snuggle up, put Iris to bed.

Maybe we can arrange
something after a few dates,

you know, get a hotel?

I just, I have to
take it a bit slower.

I just have to get
to know you better.

Understand?

I understand that, you know,

I'm good enough for a hotel,

but not good enough
to go to your home...

No, that's
not what it was at all,

that's not what it was...

No, no, listen, I'm
not gonna be insulted

by a bitch like you,
you understand me?

You work all the time

and you have a little baby at
your house, that's disgusting.

Let me go!

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

I guess I was wrong about him.

Dammit.

Hana, can we talk?

Leave me alone.

I got nothing to say to you.

Look, you know me.

You know that I'm a good guy.

Hey, ready for our 3:00?

What, 3:00?

Sorry, I'm just scattered.

Second date didn't
go so well, huh?

You could say that.

Hey look, don't worry.

It's just a new client consult.

It's Miss Mae, isn't it?

Well let's get to it, shall we?

Yeah.

Uh, we offer
several remodeling packages

depending on your needs.

What I need is more space

because my family's growing.

I need to provide for them.

How sweet.

It's okay.

Shh, it's okay.

You think you're so different,

but you're the same
as all the others.

You think you're this great mom,

but you're bad, bad, bad.

Shh.

Please don't hurt me.

Don't hurt you, I'm
not gonna hurt you.

I would never hurt you.

Now you're working all the time,

you're a mom, you're dating.

I'm just trying to help
you and especially Iris.

You think she'll like me?

Stay away from my baby!

Hi beautiful.

It's nice to finally meet you.

What the hell?

It's gonna be fine,
it's okay, it's all right.

All right, Iris, mommy's
here, mommy's here.

It's gonna be fine.

I won't let him
take you away, no.

I know.

Oh.

Please, I'm not
gonna tell anyone.

I'm sorry, love, I'm so sorry.

I couldn't protect you.

I wish I had been better,

it is so hard to tell what
people are like on the inside.

He did us a favor though.

Seeing you with him,
even for a moment,

it made me realize something.

Every baby needs a
family, a perfect one.

Isn't he handsome?

Oh, shh, shh,

shh, shh, okay.

It's okay, mommy's here.

♪ He'll never leave or
hurt you or me ♪
