John had always been fascinated by the supernatural. As a film student, he had made a name for himself by creating eerie short films that left audiences on the edge of their seats.
One day, while rummaging through an antique store, John stumbled upon an old VHS tape labeled "The Last Tape." The store owner warned him that the tape was cursed, but John's curiosity got the better of him.
As he inserted the tape into his VCR, a chill ran down his spine. The static-filled screen flickered to life, revealing a disturbing image: a young girl, her eyes black as coal, staring directly at the camera.
The girl began to speak, her voice low and menacing. "You shouldn't have played this tape," she hissed. "Now you'll never be able to stop watching."
As the tape continued to play, John became increasingly unsettled. The girl's words seemed to be coming true – he couldn't turn off the TV. The screen showed a montage of disturbing images: creepy crawlies, decaying flesh, and eerie landscapes.
John's friends tried to intervene, but the TV remained stuck on the tape. They watched in horror as John's eyes glazed over, his expression frozen in terror.
The next morning, police found John's apartment empty, the TV still playing the tape. The screen showed a single image: John's face, his eyes black as coal, staring back at the camera.
The tape was never found, but rumors spread that anyone who watched it would be consumed by an eternal darkness, forever trapped in a living nightmare. Some say that on quiet nights, you can still hear John's screams, echoing from the TV screen.
