THE CLOWNS | #MicroTerrors

The episode opens with a promotional segment for Shopify, followed by a chilling children's horror story titled 'The Clowns' by Scott Donnelly, narrated by Darren Marlar on the podcast *Micro-Terrors*. The story recounts a terrifying night when a young boy and his mother are confronted by two masked clowns at their home—each holding photos of the boy’s father. The father, who had once worked as a 'silent clown' in a traveling haunted attraction called the Circus of Creeps, reveals he was being stalked by the troupe after leaving them. In a shocking twist, he dons a clown mask to deter further threats, leaving his family terrified as he stands motionless in the living room. The episode closes with a promotional teaser for the upcoming short film *The Dire Moor Phantom* and a recommendation for the audiobook *The Waiting Room* by L.A. Marzulli, which explores a supernatural afterlife reckoning.
