Have you ever got off a train at the wrong stop?

This is the wrong stop. There are skeletons and rats. And figures without faces trying to kill you.

And no, it’s not a dream...

Cyberspace Warrior

Anyone can be a warrior in cyberspace.

But if you can’t quit the game, it gets dangerous. There are killer robots, tentacles of doom and monsters with three heads.

And there’s only one way out...

Cockroach

There’s nothing wrong with a few cockroaches crawling in the rubbish, is there?

But these cockroaches are bigger than usual.

And they like people.

Eating people, that is...

The Ice People

The Antarctic winter is cold. Very cold. You will die in minutes if you’re not covered up.

So who's walking around barefoot when it’s minus 40 degrees?

And what do they want from us?

Orbit 7

Three of you on a space station. Then two. Then it's just you. Alone in space.

You are scared. Very scared.

Then it gets worse. Much worse...

The Grey Men

You wake up screaming. Then you find out that it can get a lot worse.

At least then you could still scream...

No Chance

Julie was driving very carefully. After all, it wasn’t her car.

But when she saw Matt standing on the pavement, she gave him a lift.

Or did she?

Out of the Fog

Never be afraid of the fog. Fog can’t hurt you, after all.

But sometimes, what comes out of the fog is more scary than your worst nightmare.

Then it’s time to be afraid. Very afraid.

The Great Brain

An intelligent robot that can learn sounds like a good idea.

Until it learns to build a copy of itself. Then it isn’t just a machine anymore. It’s alive.

That’s when it’s clear: the future’s going to be very different.

They Came from the Sea

In the small seaside town strange things start happening. Fishermen find crabs with extra legs and seals that kill people.

Could it have anything to do with the nuclear power station next to the town? And what happens when people are affected too?

They have been waiting for 300 million years. Waiting just for you.

And now they are going to kill you. You and everybody else on the planet.

And there’s nothing you can do ...

The Shape Shifter

Something is killing sheep on the moor.

It’ bigger than a dog, and it knows...

The truth is out there. But can anybody discover the truth and live?

The Shadow from the Past

The past casts a long shadow. Bodies hanging at the gallows. Walls that bleed.

Not all of it is a dream.

The dead have come to haunt the living.

The Coffin Creaks

Exploring an old cellar at night sounds like a great adventure.

The piles of rotting, broken coffins, full of skeletons, weren’t so great. Then things got worse. They got so bad that even the rats seemed like good news.

Crawlers

The insects living inside the ancient mummy won’t harm you. Unless you are alive, that is.

You see, the insects like living flesh. And now they’ve escaped. And they’re looking for fresh meat.

Are you on the menu?

Time Forest

Sophie and Chris are lost in the forest. They don’t know where they are.

Worse than that, they don’t know when they are, either.

But getting back home is the least of their problems.

Space Weed

An alien plant comes to planet Earth from outer space.

The plant’s roots feed on human blood, but the plant doesn’t bother killing people first.

Soon the plant is everywhere — and so are its seeds.

A Nest of Aliens

In the mountains, people are disappearing. One man finds out what is happening. And he doesn’t believe his eyes.

Then he finds out that some of his friends aren’t who they seem to be.
