Two Sentence Horror Stories

Two Sentence Horror Stories is an American anthology horror network television series created by Vera Miao and produced by The CW.

The show ran for three seasons, airing between August 2019 and February 2022 on The CW network.

This series began its life as a low-budget digital series in 2017, before the concept was picked up by The CW and produced as a network television show.

Inspired by online microfiction, specifically the r/twosentencehorror subreddit, Two Sentence Horror Stories is a critically acclaimed, psychological horror, anthology series, featuring a different subgenre of horror in each episode. Designed to subvert classic horror tropes by centering on everyday people and diverse, intersectional perspectives, the half-hour series taps into universal primal fears while tackling provocative social and cultural issues that exist within our modern society.

The show consists of 20-minute, self-contained episodes.

Each episode opens with the first sentence of the two-sentence story that inspired it. The final sentence is not revealed until that episode's conclusion.

The inception of the show began when writer/director Vera Miao pitched Two Sentence Horror Stories to the Warner Bros. subsidiary Stage 13.

Based on this pitch, the executives at Stage 13 greenlit the short-form, anthology web series to be made on a low-budget and distributed through the Verizon owned streaming service go90.
