Some of the best horror lies in the mundane. The attractive guy who seems so helpful and kind may just be a monster underneath that charming smile. We have those monsters in real life; many of the most notorious serial killers were innocuous neighbors or handsome dates, which makes a tale like Manny even more unsettling–it could happen!
Created by A. Rasen, the same creator behind creepers like GremoryLand and Counting Sheep, Manny plays on the fear that danger lurks where you least expect it. While gruesome horror featuring beasts and monsters can be frightening, it’s the eyes and smile of a character like Manny that create a feeling of discomfort and disorientation. He’s like a creepy (creepier?) Mary Poppins. He’s supposed to be helping, but is he?

When Manny enters the Rodríguez family’s life, his charming facade masks a dark nature that threatens to tear their household apart.

This series contains graphic content and themes regarding mental health, bullying, and abuse that may not be suitable for all readers.
