Shock Horror: A Ghost Story
A nightmare is about to break free…
Herbert grew up in the Metropol. The eerie old cinema was his playground and prison – a place where endless late-night horror films were his only window to the world.
Forbidden from leaving by his disturbed parents, Herbert hid in its shadows and gorged on its movies. But what lurked in the Metropol's darkness? And how did he manage to escape?
Now Herbert's back at the abandoned cinema, searching for answers to long-buried questions. But for him, and for you, the real horror has only just begun…
