## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Rain slicks the porch of a sagging Victorian. Roger Cobb, pen still bleeding ink, steps inside his late father’s house—its walls humming with static, its halls thick with the scent of damp plaster and something older. A child’s laughter echoes from a room that isn’t there. A door slams shut, then opens on its own. The house remembers every scar he’s ever written. Steve Miner’s deranged sitcom of the damned.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, playful, unhinged
