2. We are The Monsters
Get prepared to acclimatize your eyes to the dark, horror is not too bad after all, horror can help us process the world we live in today! Trapped in a room at the end of the world, the host introduces a couple who sit and tell each other stories. He observes their hidden monsters, their wrong thoughts, the pale wretched creatures that reach through their dreams to wake and stretch in the light. As all the while he waits and watches and guards against the creeping darkness within.
