Nothing haunts me more than the Forest Stalker.
The Forest Stalker is a violent creature that haunts the foggy, dark, woods that lay out across the flat landscape. It is a tall black figure with long sharp claws on its hands and feet. When you are close to it, it will make a clicking sound. The only fascicle element on it is the large smile it gives you with its many sharp, bloody, teeth. As the night rises, and the bright sun goes to sleep, this monster comes out to play. It takes campers who dare sleep in its woods. The children get devoured, and the parents, well, they get torn to pieces for fun. The creature has been doing this for centuries. So many think that it never dies. Anyone who tries to take it on has perished in a bloody mess. Their bodies are scattered across the dirt in chunks, barely recognizable. 
You will be considered a god if you survive, but no one has.......

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.
