Karen Isabella Teal is the only one who doesn't like clowns in her family. Not only does everyone in her family LIKE clowns, but it's like they're addicted to having clowns everywhere they go.  

In their little Victorian mansion sitting in a fancy neighborhood, clown dolls fill every room and clown statutes or over-sized dolls and antiques sit in almost every hallway. Their rugs have clown patterns in them, there are clown paintings on the wall, clowns in place of garden gnomes outside, and her babysitters either lock themselves in the guest bedrooms or just back out of the job. She can't go anywhere without feeling eyes on her!
    
But lately these clowns have been showing Karen their ability to move around and talk, like changing the channels on the TV, switching places with other clowns to confuse her, calling her name in shrill voices outside her door, and even going so far as to snatch her diary and hide it under her bed. But once she finds herself in another clown situation that makes her look and feel insane, she begins to wonder if all this is really happening, or if she's flown over the coo coo's nest due to her aggravation towards her family's love of clowns. 
      
    Is any of this real, or is she  just going insane...?

       By me, Pj ;)

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
