The Horla - Inner Sanctum

Adapted from Guy de Maupassant’s classic horror tale

Jean, a wealthy and cultured man living in France, begins keeping a diary to document the strange changes he’s experiencing—insomnia, fatigue, and a growing sense of being watched. He hears whispers, feels cold presences in his room, and notices objects being moved, though no one else is there.

At first, he attributes his condition to nervous exhaustion. But the feeling intensifies. His flowers wilt without reason. His water jug empties by morning. One night, he dreams—or believes he dreams—that a shadowy presence enters his room and sits on his chest, breathing deeply while sapping his will.
