The silent of the night. The quiet ticking of a clock. The noiseless dripping of a faucet. The darkness in the streets.
Comes to an end.
Bit by bit does Isabelle find out her child, Shaun, is being followed. Hacked.
And killed.
The mysteries of it all come down to one thing.
The balloons. The candy. The dreams.
Nothing could make more sense.
The killer is a clown.
It is known as a serial killer. He brings death to children, giving them balloons full of candy, and bags full of toys.
It doesn't seem that harmful at all, but everyone knows, something is up with the stuff he gives. And the stuff they eat.
Death upon death, it happens every night. He goes down the neighborhood to give a child their worst fear of all.
A slow, painful death.
He chops off their limbs, hanging them on the wall, but making no sound what so ever.
It's like a peaceful night that becomes a horror, but not a peep is made during the bloody murder.
To him, it's nothing better than to hear the cries of a dying child.

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.
