They have confirmed from today's podcast that going forward, Nightmare Fuel will be more an episodic anthology. The same concept you expect now from NF, but different stories.
This year's story sounds amazing:
Our 'hero' is attending this circus, where he has fallen in love with an aerialist, and we watch with him as she dies mid-performance. However, this is a twisted and cursed circus, and he is now trapped in an endless loop, forced to watch her die over and over again, until he finds a way to save her.
They wanted to tell a beautiful yet dark love story, and I think this is gonna be incredible.
