[edit] Plot

When stressed-out student Walter Gilman (Ezra Godden) rents a room in a decrepit old house, his graduate thesis studies begin to take some very strange twists: he suffers nightmares about a voracious rat with a human face, he suspects that the gateway to another dimension may exist behind his wall, and he is seemingly seduced by a luscious she-demon who thirsts for souls of the innocent via a covenant that screams for blood. But when Walter must face the most depraved urge of all, will the line between madness, murder and unholy mayhem be crossed forever?

[edit] DVD and Blu-ray

The DVD was released by Anchor Bay Entertainment on March 28, 2006. The episode was the second episode as well as the second to be released on DVD. The episode appears on the first volume of the Blu-ray compilation of the series.
