Don’t Watch Alone by Elisa D. Daniels <— HORROR/THRILLER!! “…On November 9, 1984, the horror wasn’t just on the screen… it was in the mall. What was supposed to be a night of scares and laughs turns into a waking nightmare when six friends attend the midnight premiere of Don’t Watch Alone—and find themselves locked inside the mall after the final scene fades to black.
