Tortured Teens

Studio71
About this episode

They say youth is wasted on the young. As a teen, you have all the energy and potential to be, do, and have whatever you can dream. But when dealing with school, college applications, social media followers and dating, being a teenager can be a nightmare. Particularly when you add in supernatural threats and anyone who might want to do you harm. Adulting will be easy, if you can make it through high school alive, that is. 


First, a deadly rivalry 

Followed twisted games 

Then, serendipity or karma?

Finally in our featured story, a babysitter killer
