Please don't take my sunshine away...
I was on the couch that sat against the main wall, so I wasn't able to look out the window. I remember I was showing him this toy truck I had. And for a second he glanced past me, out the window. It took him right then and there. My mom was in the kitchen when it happened. She screamed.

Morley Grove is a Web Video Analog Horror series created by Remy Abode, the creator of Gemini Home Entertainment.
In 1969, a group of children disappeared from the town of Morley Grove, Tennessee. Ever since, paranormal events have plagued the small town, but none so enigmatic as "the Morley Man", which is presumed to be the force behind the children vanishing. Since then, the abductions have become pieces of the town's folklore, but the truth of the matter is something far more sinister... something ancient.
The videos, as of now, are:
- Morley Grove
, photos and audio of the "Morley Grove Spectres". - Birthday 2005, a birthday celebration for a child named Dustin.
- Morley Missing, a website for the missing children of Morley Grove.
- Morley Drive, an incident involving a house on the titular street.
- Morley Ghost, a slew of strange noises emerging from a dark corner.
- Birthday 2010, a familiar celebration for a very special boy.
This series provides examples of:
- Being Watched: Morley Missing implies that the Morley Man doesn't always hide in the shadows, as an anonymous person gives a statement regarding a mother who would constantly call (the police, presumably) about somebody stalking her son, despite no evidence ever turning up during investigations.
- Body Horror: Photographs and videos of Morley Grove Spectres depict them with bizarre deformities.
- Don't Go in the Woods: The Morley Man seems to dwell amongst the tall trees, which spells doom for the forested town of Morley Grove.
- Evil-Detecting Dog: Well... Cat in this case. In "Morley Ghost", a passing cat stares at a dark corner for a prolonged time. After a close-up of said corner, the cat mysteriously disappears for the remainder of the video.
- Humanoid Abomination: The Morley Man clearly qualifies.
- Missing Child: The series revolves around the children of Morley Grove who have gone missing.
- Surreal Horror: The Morley Man himself is horrifying enough, but a special mention must go to the Morley Grove Spectres – any and all artifacts left behind by them, ranging from photographs to memories of them, are mangled beyond belief.
