Made for Shudder, airing October 31st in the US.
Season 1. Episode 6.
Story 1: Henry is a man who has battled his weight all his life.
He has been following and using infomercial star Dr. Sloan's weight loss products for many years.
When Henry gets an email inviting him to try a new product by Dr. Sloan claiming to be the one that will miraculously change his life forever, Henry makes an appointment.
Henry and a few others who want to lose weight arrive to find out how this new product works, but when it becomes apparent that the treatment involves fat-sucking leeches, Henry bails.
After a few weeks, one of Dr. Sloan's patients whom Henry met while attending the workshop meets up with him by chance.
Her transformation is too good to be true.
Now, a bit more confident that Dr. Sloan's product will also help him, Henry agrees to have his treatment done on a morning TV talk show in front of millions, but it happens to be on the same day as a rare solar eclipse.
Story 2: Rose, her young brother Joesph, and their mother Leigh have been scared and abused by Leigh's boyfriend Chet for years.
After their father, Leigh's husband, died years ago, Chet stepped in to so-called help them, but all he really cared about was the insurance payout.
Now that the money is gone, things aren't any better for them. If anything, things are only worse.
Rose and Joesph's father was convinced that a lockness monster lived in the lake near their home and his beliefs were surely the death of him.
After getting lost in the fog and returning, he made many claims that the creature was real.
But he died with everyone in town believing he was crazy.
Everyone except Rose, Joesph, and their friend Thomas.
Rose spends much of her time looking for the creature but has yet to see it for herself.
On a day, not unlike the day their father was lost in the fog, Rose, Joesph, and Thomas find what they believe has to be the very same creature their dad claimed was real.
