Some rules are meant to be followed. Others exist for reasons you’ll never fully understand. But one thing is certain—ignoring them comes at a cost. In this chilling episode of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, Otis Jiry and Malcolm Blackwood present five terrifying tales where the rules aren’t just guidelines… they’re the only thing keeping the darkness at bay. A late-night job comes with an unusual set of instructions. A trip into the woods proves that something out there is listening. A man’s debt is paid in fire, but at what price? A basement hides a secret that refuses to stay buried. And when the clock strikes 3:13 AM, one man must decide whether to heed a warning… or face the unknown. Turn down the lights, settle in, and listen closely. Because tonight, survival depends on one simple truth: break the rules, and something will break you.
