History NightmareFuel / BeyondBeliefFactOrFiction

* In "Mirror of Truth", a vain, shallow woman obsessed with her appearance enters a beauty parlor and is given a makeover. Dissatisfied with the results, she treats the beautician with rude indignation, and in response the beautician curses her. Although we never see her face, the woman believes her good looks are rapidly fading, and soon states that she finds herself grotesquely ugly. In TheReveal, we finally get a look at her reflection, showing a hideously deformed, animalistic face with sallow skin and bulging eyes. However, when we see the woman's actual face, her youthful, photogenic appearance remains; the curse only caused her to ''perceive'' herself as ugly, showing her firsthand the ugliness that was in her heart. The deformed face (as seen above) is NightmareFuel at its finest for anybody that isn't expecting it. What's worse, the story is said to be based on actual events.

** It was later revealed that the author of the story had failed to research it properly: while it was indeed based on actual events, the missing boy had actually [[https://youtu.be/RmKYhc1Xf9Q run away]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/nsrmw/iama_request_the_kid_who_had_a_monster_in_his/c3bp4q7?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3 from home]] after climbing through hidden ceiling panel. He was missing for two weeks before he was discovered living at a friend's house and returned home. Even with this in mind, the story is still rife with horror: imagine your firstborn child vanishing without a trace from your own home, in broad daylight, mere ''seconds'' before you arrive home -- after one of your other children has been insisting for weeks that there's a "monster" lurking around the house. Makes your mind go to some terrible places, doesn't it?

* "The Merry Go Round" has a woman and her boyfriend trying to get people riding her late father's merry go round again, despite the rumors that it's cursed. The year before the father's death, there was a mysterious incident where the merry go round lost control, leading him to dismantle it and store it deep in the Florida Everglades. The boyfriend suggests a world record attempt to get people to start coming. Despite the [[CreepyGasStationAttendant former worker]] warning them about the curse, they succeed and the world record attempt starts...then the boyfriend complains that the horse bit him. The woman (knowing the boyfriend's reputation as a practical jokester) doesn't take him seriously. That's when he slumps over dead. As they try to figure out what happened, a snake crawls from out of the horse's mouth and up the neck. Hope you like snakes!

* "The Ring" features a social-climbing actress working as a hairstylist for wealthy Beverly Hills clientele. She ends up having an affair with a client's husband, a well-connected lawyer who eventually gifts her an extravagant engagement ring. Wanting him all to herself, she and a repairman who's sweet on her rig up an old hair dryer to "accidentally" electrocute the wife while she's trapped underneath. When she does set the plan into motion however, she winds up being electrocuted herself as the client screams and safely flees. Turns out, the ring, in addition to [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard the metal conducting the electricity itself]], was cursed to whomever receives it. Even though she deserved it, her [[DiesWideOpen shocked facial expression while being killed]] doesn't make it easier to watch, and the repairman ends up [[LaserGuidedKarma charged with her murder.]]

* "The Burial" follows the story of Governor Henry Lee of Virginia, who loses his loving wife, Anne to a sudden mysterious illness. After the funeral, he spends a minute by the casket to say his goodbyes. He turns to leave when he hears knocking and Anne calling out to him. He tries to ignore it and continues to walk away, but the knocks and Anne's voice gets louder. Horrified, he rips the coffin lid right off to see a bewildered, weakened and frightened Anne. She had very nearly been BuriedAlive! For extra fuel? This was such a common enough probability (given the state of medicine at the time) that people had elaborate methods to ensure that they wouldn't be accidentally buried alive or if they were, they'd have some way to warn the people above.

* "The Ring" features a social-climbing actress working as a hairstylist for wealthy Hollywood clientele. She ends up having an affair with the lovely wife of a powerful agent and who eventually gifts her an extravagant engagement ring. Wanting him all to herself, she and a maintenance man who's sweet on her rig for a hair dryer to "accidentally" electrocute the wife while her "friend" is trapped underneath. When she does set the plan into motion however, she winds up being electrocuted herself as the client screams and safely flees. Turns out, the ring, in addition to [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard the metal conducting the electricity itself]], was cursed to whomever receives it. Even though she deserved it, her [[DiesWideOpen shocked facial expression while being killed]] doesn't make it easier to watch, and the maintenance man [[LaserGuidedKarma was charged with her murder.]]

* "The Kid In The Closet". A young boy is convinced that there's a monster living in his bedroom closet. His mother and sister insist that he has an overactive imagination, but his older brother teases and bullies him over it. One day, the older brother and his friends gang up on him and drag him upstairs, intending to throw him into the closet to scare him. The boy dares his brother to prove that there's no monster by going into the closet and shutting the door. As soon as the closet door closes, the older brother begins banging on it and screaming for help; everyone (except his younger brother) assumes he's faking it, and doesn't help him. Suddenly, the boys' mother arrives home, and the screaming abruptly stops; the boys' mother inspects the closet, and finds that her son has vanished without a trace, leaving only his clothing and shoes crumpled on the closet floor. The police are called and search the closet, but find no trace of the boy, and [[NothingIsScarier no clues as to what might have happened to him]]. What's worse, this story is based in '' Fact''.

* In “The Landlady”, an elderly woman is terrorized by a mysterious prowler. Scary enough on its own even if the woman in question is as friendly as a hornet’s nest. But what sells the dread is at the end when on the next night she goes to confront the prowler, only to see boot prints indenting in the mud…and they’re heading towards her.

* In "Red-Eyed Creature", a couple, their young son, and their nanny purchase a new home. On the night they move in, the young son goes downstairs, and in the dark kitchen, witnesses a pair of ominous red eyes floating towards him, accompanied by a disturbingly loud whooshing sound. The parents think the frightened son just imagined the whole thing, until the same thing happens to the wife some time later. When the father inspects the house, he notices that the panel of the family's thermostat on the wall has two red lights that could easily be mistaken for glowing red eyes in the dark, and postulates that the whooshing sound was just the heater kicking in. The parents are relieved by this rational explanation, but the son remains unconvinced. When the son is in bed that night, the nanny goes to tuck him in and reassures him that there's nothing to be afraid of. As she leaves the son's room, she pauses, faces the audience, and her eyes glow red and emit a whooshing sound, implying that she's some sort of [[BeneathSuspicion supernatural entity intent]] on terrorizing the family. Of course, she might be a supernatural creature who looks scary but is otherwise a nice person. Jonathan Frakes even brings up the possibility that the woman/creature is ''protecting'' the family, not terrorizing it, as no bad incidents happened to them while they were in the house even though bad things always happened to past owners.

* "The Sleepwalker" at first starts with something more annoying than terrifying. Leon Woodward is dealing with sleepwalking and it's driving his wife crazy. They turn to a spiritualist, who says he's been hit with a terrible curse and will one day leave during his sleepwalk and never return, and there's nothing she can do to lift it. Then one night, it happens and he disappears. As his wife panics once she files a missing person's report with the police, their daughter states she knows what happened to him. She takes her to her dollhouse... where a doll that resembles her father, complete with clothes and the bell he wore to help his wife find him, is laying there. It would seem the curse has trapped his very soul in a doll. Even more creepy? Not only was this marked as Truth, Frakes reveals that author Robert Tralins was even shown a doll resembling the real life person who disappeared.

* "The Kid In The Closet". A young boy is convinced that there's a monster living in his bedroom closet. His mother and sister insist that he just has an overactive imagination, but his older brother teases and bullies him over it.

* "Damsel" has a lonely young woman named Sandy looking for love through a matchmaking program. The purveyor of the program, a middle-aged woman, tried to set her up with her son Steve and said that he would find her (as she was an aggressive pursuer of love instead of just letting it find her), but she's skeptical about the scenario and declines. One day, while out on a drive, she pulls over and helps an attractive man who's having car trouble and when the woman starts to feel uneasy about him, especially after catching him looking through her purse, he shows his true colors by deciding to rape and murder her. After initially running away and failing to evade him, he overpowers her ready to put his plan into action when the son materializes out of nowhere and fights him off. The most shocking thing about the story is that it's ''Fact'', and if the story sounds familiar, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Bundy it's because it was loosely based on one of the worst serial killers in American history.]]

* "The Land" is about a farmer who is about to lose his land because of a long drought and makes a deal with someone (and to the writers credit, it's not implied to be The Devil or some demonic entity, just some guy who lives in town) for the land to be fertile for the next twenty years. The next day his family wakes up to find that it is indeed fertile, and the man is heavily implied to have ''become'' the land itself. The imagery in this story is ''creepy''.

** The reveals. Seeing FACT or FICTION stamped over the creepiest screenshots of each segment and holding it for a few seconds was rather nightmare-inducing. Especially ones that were revealed as FACT.
** "The Land" is about a farmer who is about to lose his land because of a long drought and makes a deal with someone (and to the writers credit, it's not implied to be The Devil or some demonic entity, just some guy who lives in town) for the land to be fertile for the next twenty years. The next day his family wakes up to find that it is indeed fertile, and the man is heavily implied to have ''become'' the land itself. The imagery in this story is ''creepy''.
** "The Stalker" is a truly terrifying segment. Revolving around an escapee from jail, he torments a lady and her daughter by hiding in their home. It is one story that can seriously leave viewers scared and paranoid, especially if they had an experience with stalking before.
** "The Cake" is about a kind baker ordered by his {{Jerkass}} boss to bake a truly gigantic cake as a reward to a man he had done a favor for. The baker begins hearing groaning from inside the oven and sees a spectral entity inside the oven. The baker informs his boss, and is promptly fired since he wisely refuses to bake the cake. The boss decides to bake the cake himself. At home, the baker discovers the entity was the ghost of a crime boss that the boss had assassinated and his wife informs him that smoke was filling the bakery. The baker goes to check on the boss, and finds his boss baked into the cake, something that looks surprisingly horrifying.
