While they’re holding a lot of details close to the vest, Shudder did share the title of each tale:

“Daddy”
“Bride Before You”
“Brand of Evil”
“The Lake”
“Sundown”
“Fugue State”

I really loved the documentary of the same name from the same folks, so I’m in for this collection. It looks fantastic. Also: Tony Todd, Rachel True, and Peter Stormare (with a fiddle)!
