COME ON IN: The Door Beneath the House - Secret Tunnel Horror Story

About this episode

A boy's obsession with a hidden Underground Railroad tunnel leads to terrifying consequences in a creepy old house.

A creepy old house. A terrifying basement. A hidden Underground Railroad tunnel beneath the floor. And one frightened boy who makes the worst possible choice: he decides to see where it leads. In this terrifying episode of Weekly Spooky , Curtis Tucker is afraid of the unfinished basement in his family’s old home — the cold concrete, the rotting doors, the flickering light, and the strange wooden shed tucked away in the corner. When his father reveals that the shed hides a tunnel once used as part of the Underground Railroad , Curtis’s fear turns into obsession.

If you love basement horror, hidden room stories, secret tunnels, old house horror, serial killer fiction, creepy kid horror, and scary stories with a brutal twist ending , this one will make you think twice before opening any door you were never meant to find. Turn out the lights, my spookies… but maybe leave the…
