Deadtime Stories is a rejected pilot for [=MTV=] written by Breehn Burns and Michael Dougherty.
The 8-minute pilot follows a young girl named Ebola, who has just been released from an insane asylum and is allowed home. After talking to her own reflection for a bit, she discovers that the neighbors across the street are abusive to their young daughter. Her parents don't believe her, and send her over with a cookie to say hello and meet the family.
Then things get creepy. Well, creepi''er''...
It can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIF8VdoWKCk here.]]
