Two Sentence Horror Stories Anthology series coming this Halloween

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

One of my favorite things to spring on people who say they don't like horror of ANY kinds is my collection of two-sentence scary stories. Whether they are ones I have written myself, or ones I've found online, these stories just go to show how quick and primal horror can be. I love 'em.

It's with this in mind that I'm excited about Stage 13's upcoming horror anthology series apt titled, wait for it: TWO SENTENCE HORROR STORIES which is set to premiere on go90 starting October 3rd.

The 5-episode season comes to us from creator/director Vera Miao, and each of the five episodes will feature a new director's vision including Miao herself, JD Dillard, Ryan Spindell, and Danny Perez (ANTIBIRTH).
 
Below you can find the series' rundown along with the five episodes in the order in which they are set to air. After checking through that let us know what you think on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram!

TWO SENTENCE HORROR STORIES rundown:

A fresh and provocative anthology series inspired by the viral fan fiction of two sentence horror stories, it taps into universal primal fears — death, abandonment, and loneliness — filtered through the anxieties of the most connected and racially diverse generation. 

Each episode is inspired by its own horror story told in two sentences and uses the genre as of way to weave in social horror and a range of contemporary issues including racism, LGBTQ, cyber-bullying and the pursuit of beauty. 

Episodes: 

“Ma” (directed by Vera Miao): When Mona falls for Erica, the new neighbor next door, she learns how far Ma will go to keep her “perfect” Chinese daughter home.

“Snap” (directed by Danny Perez):  A notoriously cruel celebrity blogger dismisses a mysterious foe as harmless…until he wakes up to a video of himself sleeping on his own phone.
 
“Guilt Trip” (directed by JD Dillard):  After picking up a victim of police brutality, a Good Samaritan is forced to rethink her decision on the dark and isolated road with the stranger in her car. 

 “Singularity” (directed by Vera Miao): After a transgender biohacker implants revolutionary technology into her own body, she is terrified to discover she can tap more than just the internet. 

“Second Skin” (directed by Ryan Spindell):  When a street-smart young woman accepts an invitation to a luxurious spa, she discovers just how far the powerful patrons will go to stay on the cutting edge of beauty.

TWO SENTENCE HORROR STORIES starts October 3rd.
