Lily used a pair of vice grips to pry her fingernail up, showing him the bleeding gore underneath. “That’s so much better,” she said. “Now I can breathe. It’s easier once you let it out.”

When Steven and Roy agree to help a woman who accidentally animates a collection of antique dolls, they find themselves in a much deeper haunting than either expected. At a house near Deadwood, South Dakota, they uncover a room full of dead people.
