Zombies don't look like how they did in movies. Or TV shows. Or Halloween costumes.

They look like regular people, except a little paler, and a little greener. They run, they walk, and they crawl.

They have no heartbeat. They don't breathe. They just run, attack, and eat, in that order.

But that's not the worst part, oh not even close. The worst part isn't when they attack ones you love and eat them alive, or when they sneak up on you and wrap their long, dead fingers around your neck and sink their teeth into your flesh.

The worst part is the noises they make. The gurgling, growling, teeth snapping sounds they make are what drives you crazy. That's what causes people to kill themselves, shoot themselves right in the head or run right into a herd of them. That's what causes people rip off their own ears, hoping and praying that it will stop them from hearing their terrible noises.

But it doesn't. It never stops. Because there is no escaping the noises. There is no escape.

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.
