The Door
Show notes
A locked bathroom door is the only thing separating Kurt from his furious girlfriend, Jamie. Trapped inside with a bleeding face and nowhere to go, Kurt desperately tries to talk his way through accusations of betrayal, infidelity, and lies while Jamie’s rage explodes just inches away on the other side.
But as the shouting gives way to conversation and anger begins to turn into something entirely different, the balance of power starts to shift. In a relationship poisoned by suspicion, manipulation, and secrets, the truth depends entirely on who you believe.
Tonight, one of them is going to open The Door.

The Lust Line
Show notes
It’s 1989, and late at night, the phone lines are heating up. Michelle knows exactly what the men on the other end want, and she knows exactly what to say to keep them coming back. It’s easy money, a little dirty fun, and nothing she can’t handle. But one caller isn’t interested in playing by the usual rules. His questions are different. His voice is unsettlingly calm. And the longer he stays on the line, the more Michelle begins to wonder just how much this stranger knows about her. What begins as another routine night on The Lust Line slowly twists into a tense game of fear and paranoia, where every ringing phone, darkened window, and creaking floorboard suggests that some callers may be much closer than they sound.

Tarot
Show notes
A woman searching for clarity steps into the candlelit parlor of a renowned tarot reader, hoping the cards will provide answers to a choice that has been weighing heavily on her soul. But as each card is revealed, the reading becomes less about the future and more about the secrets people keep from themselves, and each other.
What begins as a quiet, intimate conversation slowly transforms into a tense psychological battle where every word carries hidden meaning and every revelation raises a more unsettling question. In a room built on mystery, belief, and illusion, it becomes impossible to tell who is truly in control.
Tarot is a slow-burning descent into obsession, deception, and the dangerous consequences of believing you can see what lies ahead. Because sometimes the most terrifying fate isn't the one waiting in the cards... it's the one already sitting across the table.

Carbon Fiber
Show notes
A quiet workday fractures into something unrecognizable when an ordinary moment exposes a buried nightmare. As routine collapses and violence threatens to erupt, one woman is forced to make an impossible choice, act, or let the damage spread.
CARBON FIBER is a brutal, claustrophobic descent into workplace terror, power, and the thin line between protection and obsession. Told with unflinching intensity, this episode strips away civility to reveal what people are capable of when systems fail and survival becomes personal.
This isn’t a story about heroes. It’s about pressure. And what happens when it finally breaks.

False Prophet
Show notes
A charismatic firebrand whips a restless crowd into a frenzy at a campus rally, his words crackling with certainty and rage. Across the way, in the quiet rot of an abandoned warehouse, a young woman listens, alone, unseen, and shaken by what she hears.
As the distance between spectacle and silence collapses, False Prophet explores how ideology becomes performance, how anger becomes identity, and how belief can be sharpened into a weapon. Told through two converging perspectives, Jennifer, a disillusioned observer, and Graham Nelson, a man who thrives on devotion and outrage, this episode descends into the psychology of radicalization, moral certainty, and the private cost of public hate.
In the world of Twisted Tales of Madness and Murder Presents, nothing is more dangerous than a voice people choose to worship… and nothing is more fragile than the line between conviction and catastrophe.

Diary of Insanity
Show notes
A man records his late-night thoughts at the request of his therapist, but what begins as a coping exercise slowly curdles into something darker. Through a series of increasingly frantic audio entries, he chronicles the hum of his apartment, the unease in his own mind, and the disturbing pull toward the woman across the courtyard. As his grip on reality loosens, small details in his home, and in himself, stop adding up. The tape captures every doubt, every obsession, every crack forming beneath the surface… until the line between patient, predator, and prisoner starts to blur.
This episode is a tense, claustrophobic descent into a mind that can’t trust its own reflections, and refuses to stop recording.

The Last Furlong
Show notes
When Larry, a broke, directionless nobody with a talent for making terrible choices, ends up owing twenty grand to a violent Russian enforcer, his life goes from pathetic to catastrophic in a single afternoon. Forced into a job he wants nothing to do with, Larry and his loud-mouthed best friend Steve are dragged into a chaotic, foul-mouthed mission that spirals wildly out of control. What begins as a simple “do this or die” task turns into a darkly hilarious descent into panic, bad decisions, and escalating danger.
With every step dragging them deeper into a nightmare they’re wildly unprepared for, The Last Furlong delivers sharp dialogue, brutal tension, and the kind of grimy comedy that only disaster-prone idiots backed into a corner can provide. Nothing goes as planned, because with Larry, nothing ever does.
