The cinema looms in the night, a decaying relic of the 1960s. The back door hangs ajar, spilling shadows onto the pavement. Inside, the air is thick with the copper scent of blood and the echo of frantic screams. The main screen pulses with a malevolent, crimson light, casting long, jittery shadows. Amidst the chaos, a distorted, infantile demon flits through the darkness. On the floor, half-hidden by the debris of terror, lies Lilly Bainbridge. Her dark, curly hair fans out around her as she trembles, eyes wide with a mix of academic curiosity and primal fear, hiding from the entity that hunts her peers.
