Name: Tyler (@nerdysubjects)
Location: New York, US
Tale: They thought it was just another night at the campsite... jokes, s’mores, and scaring each other with made-up ghost stories. But when the laughter turned to choking, and the crunch of twigs came from above… they realized someone else was at the party. And he didn’t come for marshmallows.

Name: Aaron (@toyimmersion)
Location: California, US
Tale: At this moment, one camper falls behind during a late-night hike. “I’ll catch up!” he calls out, crouching to tie his sneaker—completely unaware of what’s watching from the trees. By the time he looks up, it’s too late. Aleister Gangreene has emerged from the dark... and his collection just got a little bigger.

Name: J’zaick (@salvagedcargo)
Location: Pennsylvania, US
Tale: This scene imagines a hidden chapter in the Rumble Society saga—where lore meets reckoning. Sodcutter, ever the loyal collector, was tasked by Professor Von Hellton to gather live specimens for experimentation. One of those specimens? A young pod-dweller named Woodford. Years later, free but forever altered, Woodford returns to the graveyard, drawn by the whispers of his past. There, among the tombstones, he finds the one who stole him from his pod... and the two clash in a dirt-kicked showdown under the moonlight.

Name: Austin (@lights.camera.actionfigures)
Location: North Carolina, US
Tale: No one remembers when the tower first appeared. But each night, a dim lantern flickers behind its windows. An ancient hunger stirs; Nosferatu waits, patient as stone, to claim another wandering soul.
