IN THIS EPISODE: It’s #ThrillerThursday, and this episode brings a creepypasta by Julian J. Alexander entitled “Things Darker Than Man”. In the small town of Torkton, seven brutal murders in four weeks have left the local police department scrambling for answers. The victims are found torn apart, covered in bizarre bite marks that don't match any known animal. When Officers McHale and McAllister discover bloody handprints on a victim's ceiling, they realize they're dealing with something far beyond ordinary criminal behavior. As the investigation deepens and leads them into the shadowy forests surrounding Mount Pilchuck, they uncover a horrifying truth that will challenge everything they thought they knew about the nature of evil itself.
