A VHS tape lies abandoned on a street corner in your neighborhood with no words except for "PLAY ME" written in blue Sharpie marker on a piece of masking tape attached to the VHS tape. The tape is blue in color, and you are a collector. You collect antiques, old pictures and gadgets. You just happen to have a VHS player attached to your TV. You walk near the tape and pick it up. You peel off the old piece of masking tape that has been attached for a while. You expect to see something like "From Hell" or "Bear from the Big Blue House", but no. Instead, it is blank. You shrug it off and walk back to your house, tape in hand. You turn on your TV then turn on the VHS player and insert the tape. You expect a cheerful kids movie or documentary, but instead you see a titlecard. The background is completely white except for black text in the middle. The tape is scratchy and bounces up and down while trying to focus on what color it uses. The black text says one thing, "Are You Afraid?" You don't feel uneasy, because you believe that the film on the tape is just a low-budget and cheezy horror movie. Then the scene changes and the person holding the camera is running through the forest. You hear a low-pitched growl, and see an unsuspecting man on a sidewalk. The camera is still bouncing up and down like it is in the point of view of a wolf or dog. Then, it seems to pounce on the man and tear him to shreds, eating the bits and pieces of flesh and sucking up the blood, picking it off of the bone piece by piece. You begin to start feeling nauseous. The creature walks forward and looks back at the corpse after seven minutes of feasting. The corpse of it's victim is bony and bloody with bits of flesh that the creature couldn't finish off. The image makes you even more nauseous, and you begin to feel like you are going to vomit. The video flashes to night and you see a woman driving in her car. The camera seems to be set on the sidewalk next to the road. You finally get to see the dreaded creature that ripped the man limb from limb, a horrid beast with blood red eyes, stained fur and horrificaly long fangs perfect for ripping flesh. The creature pounces on the car's main windshield smashing the glass with all of it's force. The driver swerves and crashes into a lamp post as the creature bites at her head. You hear the faint screaming, "AZIKE! AZIKE! AZIIIKKKEEEE!!!". The creature pecks at the flesh when the car comes to a stop and you can no longer hear the woman defending herself. The creature has killed her and eaten  parts of her. This time, the victim's corpse is more mangled and mutilated and less eaten. You see a familiar house. It's yours. You see the beast bash at your door and you hear something outside of the film... It's here. It's here to rip you limb from limb. You hear your door break down and the feet of the creature coming to kill you. You see it, and your life flashes before your eyes. It pounces on you. You stumble backwards in pain and fall on the ground, helpless. You can't move. You can't get up. You can't run. Your only option... is to die.
