Notas del episodio
In 1989, a laid-off father has one chance to save his family from foreclosure: sell the house before the bank's deadline. Every Saturday, he lets strangers walk through it.
In this original horror story, a man alone in a house staged for buyers hosts open house after open house, with the beds made up in his children's empty rooms. At the first one, a friendly man in a sport coat lingers after everyone else has gone, and the proud homeowner gives him the full tour: the alarm they never set, the broken lock on the slider, the bulkhead held shut by a single hasp. The weeks go by. Two lines on a sign-in sheet are in the same handwriting. Then a young family makes an offer, just in time.
A slow-burn, unsettling tale of a house for sale, a stranger who asks ordinary questions, and a secret one man has kept for thirty-five years. No gore, no jump scares, just quiet dread that stays with you.
