Greetings, brave souls. I am Professor Adontes Finch, your guide through the shadowy realms of fear and the unknown. Step into The Nightmare Trials, where fact and fiction blur, and the most chilling tales come to life. These aren’t mere stories of fantasy or wild imagination, each tale is steeped in terrifying truth. Passed down to me for analysis and experimentation, these accounts of horror have been meticulously dissected with the help of my loyal lab assistants and cutting-edge technology. Our mission? To unravel the deepest, darkest mysteries that lurk in the shadows and the sinister unknown. Here in the lab, we dive into realms haunted by unspeakable creatures, eerie coincidences, and supernatural forces. Every episode pushes the boundaries of your understanding of the macabre. But beware, these stories aren't for the faint-hearted. Prepare yourself for a journey through dread, fear, and the supernatural. Together, we will confront the horrors that defy reason, and with your help, we will unlock the unspeakable secrets that most dare not face. So, strap in tight... the trials are about to begin.

    S3E3: Love Eternal

    S3E3: Love Eternal Our next research file introduces us to Randy, a love-sick outcast whose world changes the moment a new girl arrives in class. What begins as innocent fascination quickly turns into something deeper, and before long, the two find themselves bound together as valentines. But love, as we know, rarely exists without consequence. A night in the woods with friends, a few drinks passed around, and the illusion of safety begins to crack. As the hours stretch on, it becomes clear that they are not alone. One by one, the group is hunted, picked apart by a presence that has been watching far longer than anyone realizes. In this file, obsession, devotion, and terror collide. We explore how love can be eternal… and how it can also be weaponized. So, join me as we open the Love Eternal file, and uncover what happens when affection refuses to let go. ⚠️ Warning: This episode contains intense horror themes, emotional distress, violence, and high-stakes psychological tension.

    S2E62: Existentialism

    S2E62: Existentialism Season 2 Finale Description: Everything has led to this. The final moves are set in motion as Merrick completes the last step of his three-part ascent, securing another god and pushing himself beyond the threshold of return. Power stacks upon power, but identity fractures under the weight of divinity. Aubrey and Simon stand in opposition, not as saviors, but as witnesses to what Merrick has become and what he is willing to sacrifice to finish his work. Ideology clashes with inevitability, and no one leaves this confrontation unchanged. About This Episode: Existentialism serves as the Season 2 Finale, closing the cycle of Merrick’s rise. Heavy with philosophical dread, cosmic consequence, and irreversible choice. The end is not explosive. It is unavoidable. ⚠️ Warning: This episode contains intense psychological horror, cosmic themes, identity erosion, and existential dread.
