A new spooky saga begins! Kaela has enlisted the Creative Horror crew to read an infamously maligned horror novel by none other than the writer of Dracula, just to prove that even the most well-known authors can produce duds. The gang is about to find out why, and start plotting how they might drink their way through it in a creative way.

We’re not strangers to fan fiction on this show, and luckily four of the five hosts - Kaela, Allen, Seid and Raevell - have some decent context to work with, while David is very much in the dark. Will this horror take on Madoka Magica leave the desired impression regardless of knowledge of the source material? And will Allen get the $5000 necessary to reveal his own Bionicle fiction at last?

If it exists, then there's probably Creepypasta of it: such is the case for Allen and his Monday Night crew as he brings them on to see if there's any good stories that are based around professional wrestling. Will they succeed, or are they just trying to distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table?

One very short and possibly shivery story culled from Not Hot But Spicy has been laid at David and Seid's feet this episode. Though untitled, it's PA setting and specific voice certainly give it a personality. But what's the endgame for this ghost story?
