Manbeast
A group of friends - Kane, Willard, Jody, Geoff, Christianne, and Cassandra - stumble upon an old, dilapidated mansion hidden deep in the woods in Ravenswood. They decide to explore the ominous corridors and dark secrets of the place because they are intrigued by the legends surrounding it. As they progress, the group begins to notice strange occurrences such as inexplicable whispers echoing through the corridors, chilling drafts, and glimpses of shadowy figures lurking just out of sight.

The group quickly realizes they are not alone in the mansion. A terrifying creature emerges from the shadows, half-man, half-beast, hunting them one by one. As the Manbeast picks them off in random order, the group is plagued by unexplainable deaths. Christianne is the first to perish, her screams reverberating throughout the mansion. Cassandra vanishes without a trace, causing the group to panic. Willard meets a grisly end, and Geoff perishes in the mansion's hidden chambers.

In the midst of the terror, Kane and Jody desperately seek a way out of the mansion and the relentless Manbeast. As the night progresses, they uncover a dark secret connected to the mansion's history, revealing that the creature is a vengeful spirit seeking vengeance for past sins. Kane and Jody confront the Manbeast in a final, terrifying showdown with cunning and courage. They escape the mansion just as it crumbles into ruins in a thrilling climax.

The End
Connell, Becka, Penelope, Bart, Tobin, and Eveline are among a small group of astronomers who find themselves on the eve of December 21, 2012, the fabled date believed by some to herald the end of the world. While skeptics dismiss it as mere superstition, astronomers gather atop a remote observatory, driven by both curiosity and dread, to witness a celestial event that may defy rational explanation. As they gaze into the night sky, a sudden and unexpected occurrence shatters their scientific expectations—a massive meteor hurtles towards Earth, unleashing the cataclysm predicted by doomsday theorists.

The group's initial fascination turns to sheer terror as the impact zone approaches, leaving them with the sobering realization that their lives are about to come to an end. Panic ensues, and the meteor collides with apocalyptic force, extinguishing all life in its path. As each character faces their mortality in the face of an overwhelming, otherworldly force, the episode unfolds with a sense of inevitability.

Sorority
Carrol, Sharla, Robbie, Allie, and Amelia make a commitment to join the exclusive sisterhood of a prestigious sorority. They have no idea that the sorority has a dark secret. Christi, a former member who was subjected to horrific bullying and died tragically, reappears as a vengeful ghost seeking vengeance. Unaware of their sinister past, the living girls begin to experience terrifying paranormal activities. Christi's ghostly presence grows stronger, tormenting them with visions of her brutal death at the hands of previous members of the sorority, led by the ruthless Alys.

As the haunting intensifies, Carrol takes the lead in uncovering the sorority's dark secrets. The group is led by the ghostly manifestations to the gruesome fate that befell Christi and the merciless bullying that drove her to seek vengeance. Determined to end the cycle of violence, the girls confront Christi's spirit, expressing regret for their forefathers' sins. Carrol and the others perform a ritual to help Christi find peace, allowing her to finally let go of the sorority and move on to the afterlife.

The surviving girls, now united by a common experience, decide to celebrate their newfound sisterhood with a girls' night out.
