Happy Friday the 13th
I’m excited to share a new original horror short to celebrate Friday the 13th.

The Black-Eyed Children are supernatural entities that appear as children or teenagers at front doors, on the streets, or hitchhiking begging for help. The Daily Mail once ran a story about these “children” haunting a pub. I’ve only read the headlines but it inspired this story.
Happy spooky reading! Have a safe Friday the 13th by remembering not to let the wrong ones in.
