Welcome, to the Premier of my new story, "The horror of Dr Maniac" Here, I will show the beginning of the story. I hope you enjoy. (I also apologize for the cringy title)

My name’s Johnny. Johnny Colten. I’m a detective, it says so on my door. Everything written in this story is true. I know because I was there. This story will be told exactly how it happened, when it happened, and where it happened.

4:36 October 4, 2015, Dallas, Texas.

Angela walked into my office, just as I was thinking I needed a break from work, so I could catch a movie or something.

She smiled at me as she walked in; “Hello Johnny”, she said as she walked in.

“Hi Angela” I replied not looking up from the file for my latest case.

She started talking about some new girl in town, but I wasn’t paying much attention to her. I was daydreaming about going to a reshowing of an old movie from the 1950s called “The Horror of Dr. Maniac”. It was being shown in an old drive-in theater in Sulphur Springs.

She then said, “Jessica and I are going to the movies tomorrow. Want to come?”. That caught my attention fast.

I responded as best I could. “Sure,” I said. “What movie?”

“The Horror of Dr. Maniac.”

This was kind of weird. When most people think of going to the movies, they think of driving less than a mile to the nearest theater to watch movies like The Martian, Jurassic World, and Mad Max, not driving all the way from Dallas, Texas to Sulphur, Texas. However, I did really want to see it, and I knew that all my film-crazy friends would dream of this moment. Too bad that most of them were out of town.

“See you tomorrow”. She walked out of my office.

I had always been a fan of cheesy 1950s horror movies. This was one of the ones with the best ratings. I absolutely had to see it. Problem was for some reason I couldn’t find many copies. All the major sites like “Amazon” and “Ebay” didn’t have it.

After another few hours at my office, I decided to call it a day. I put my stuff in my briefcase, and left my office for home.

What will happen to Johnny now?? Find out in... The Horror of Dr Maniac!
