SCARE CITY
Isaac thinks he's just begun his dream job — working at the Halloween superstore, Scare City. His co-worker Aria isn't as thrilled to be there. Then, he discovers that the items they sell at Scare City just might actually be supernatural.
He and his new co-workers fight this supernatural power, and afterward, everyone else is real chill about it. As the series goes on, Isaac will start to uncover the darker truth behind (or below) Scare City — all while using SEL skills to fend off demonic Halloween products come to life.
REVENGE OF THE ATTACK OF THE KILLER SIRENS
Rhoda, a college freshman, has just moved in with her girlfriend of three weeks. Yes, that's fast, but there was no other alternative. She has no other friends, she's just moved to a new city, and strange shadowy figures keep following her home at night. Yes, she's still plagued by nightmares of drowning girls with glassy eyes and webbed fingers, but everything's fine now. She's fine. She's normal.
Rhoda quickly learns that this new house isn't a safe haven, and instead it's a honeypot to lure in girls like her, burgeoning sirens, so she can be killed and easily disposed of. Her girlfriend, Vic, and her new roommates, Grace and Erika, have been groomed into killers by the prestigious Professor Curio and now seek to add Rhoda's body to the other corpses that fill their garden.
But Rhoda is transforming fast, and learning the truth much faster. As she transforms into something other than your average freshman girl, she needs to make a decision to save her life- and if she can run or fight for it.
