Tales from the Scrypt presents... The Crawl (series finale). No spoilers: 1986. The Game Kid, with its groundbreaking technology allowing 72 hours of game play without charging, is the only thing on everyone’s Christmas list. But the power comes from something far more ancient, and when the batteries inside hatch, the world is slowly devoured, including the resistant residents of a London tower block.

A little message from our bearded buddy (no, not Sp. The other one): Gene Groves, director of Tales from the Scrypt. Who did you think we meant? Welcome back, fearful friends. Here in the scrypt crypt we still have plenty of holiday horror to fuel your screams and frightmares, right up to the big day, when I come clambering down your chimneys with a nice full sack. Ho ho ho.  But for this week’s titbit of terror, we are taking a break from tradition. Instead of treating your ears, this tale of macabre merriment is a feast for your eyes. So, to unwrap our evil elfing episode, take your horror hellion hearts over to tomebite.co.uk and we will meet back here next week for the final instalment in this scream-scattered series. Scarewell, fearful friends. Ho ho ho ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
