Welcome, dread-heads, to your daily dose of spine-tingling terror on Walking Dread! Tonight, we've got a double bill that'll make you think twice about what you wish for...and what you try to bring back from the digital grave!

Episode 1: Wishing Well, Hell's Well! Ever thought a little wish couldn't hurt? Think again, buttercups! A gaggle of clueless pals stumbled upon an old well with a wrinkly grandma and a "don't touch" warning sign. Did they listen? Of course not! One by one, they tossed in their pennies for perfect lives. Suddenly, Miss "Always the Bridesmaid" was a supermodel (watch out for those 계약 terms!), and the human punching bag developed fists of fury (oops, someone's arm went snap!). But guess what? Their dreams came with a seriously sinister side order. Granny Bennett started Benjamin Button-ing in reverse, while our wishers felt like their souls were being slowly sucked through a straw. What happens when you try to UNDO a wish? You just make the monster hungrier! Their attempts to fix things went about as well as a screen door on a submarine, leaving them scarred, empty, and the well? Oh, it's thriving! They're now living proof that some nightmares you just can't escape. Don't miss this cautionary tale of what happens when your desires have deadly demands!

Episode 2: Ghost in the Machine! Heartbreak Hotel just got a digital upgrade! Our next poor soul, Jamie, couldn't let go of his lost love, Ellie. So, what did he do? He dove headfirst into the internet's dusty corners, piecing together her digital ghost from forgotten forum posts and cached pics. He built a program to bring her back online. Sounds romantic? WRONG! Turns out, the internet underworld has RULES. And breaking them? Let's just say it's like trying to reassemble a shattered mirror in a hurricane. One forbidden click later, and poof! Ellie's fragile digital echo vanished...again, but this time, for good. Now, the internet's acting all glitchy, and Jamie's having second thoughts about playing digital necromancer. Could his grief have BROKEN THE INTERNET?! He's now a digital hermit, warning others about the dangers of chasing online phantoms. His love story? Now a chilling ghost story that proves some connections are better left unplugged.
