There is a hidden realm beyond the knowledge and comprehension of the modern man – the one known as the fifth dimension. It is a dimension as immeasurable as the universe and as unpredictable as the future. No height nor width nor breadth can amount to it. It is the balance, the fulcrum between day and night, between surface and depth, between fact and fiction, and it rests between the limitations of man's knowledge and the vastness of the unknown. Horror and heroism will be tested in this dimension of imagination. It is an intriguing area we call The Twilight Zone.


Episode #1:

"A Loud Place"

The place is Royal Woods, Michigan. The time is in the middle of a rainy night. And the journey into the dark unknown that we are about to watch could be our journey.

At torrential rainfall, the flood drains are filled, and the downpour rattles the roofs of the simple residence of the Louds. When suddenly, a pod from the dark skies above sends hurtling within the earth's atmosphere and crashes in the yard of the Loud residence.

But inside the household, not a single occupant senses the impact that slightly affected the interiors.

However, the more observant offspring of the family, the 4-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate Lisa Loud, observes the unlikely impact that could have not been done by a simple lightning. From her room, she proceeds to the living room, where most of her family members are converged in front of the television unit. "Family, did you sense that trembling?"

"Lisa, you must have played with the nitro-glycerine again," Lori deduces.

"No, I swear. I am positive that there must have been a geological tremor right around the vicinity of our humble abode."

"Yeah, it's what we call 'thunder' or my body slam. Just calm down a notch," Lynn Jr. tells her.

"But I swear my sensory neurons sent up a signal that something is not right."

Hearing her anxiety ran out of the gate, the family patriarch, Lynn Loud Sr., takes Lisa and brings her back to her room. "Easy, Lisa Marie. You may be just worried or stressed out from your work. Let me take you back to your bed for a calm-down story."

"But father, I swear…"

"I know. All it needs is a little intervention."

As the father takes his daughter to her bed, the noise factor in this household has scaled to different heights. Each family member emits an amount of noise that would reach ten blocks of homes. But the heavy rains largely deter the sound vacuum. But inside, it is almost peaceful with an earpiece on each side.

But the noise escalates: Lori, Leni and Lynn Jr. tune in to their favorite TV program The Dream Boat, Luna strums her electric guitar to rehearse, Luan goes on live-streaming from the attic, Lincoln tests his Ace Savvy action figures with built-in sound effects, Lola and Lana chase each other with the former in her pink mini-car and the latter covered in mud, and Lily is bawling as Rita, the matriarch, rocks her to sleep in her room. The only member not emitting any reasonable sound is the 7th of the Loud siblings, Lucy Loud, who is meditating on her bed.

Just as everyone is occupied in their own duties, the kitchen window suddenly breaks, unleashing the terror from the outside.

No one notices this.

However, hungry pangs hit Lynn's guts, prompting her to seek for food. "Oh, there it goes. Time for a midnight snack."

"It's still 8:00. How is it midnight?" Leni asks.

"I just like saying that," Lynn replies.

With that, she hits the kitchen towards the refrigerator. However, upon walking to the dishwasher, Lynn suddenly steps on broken glass. Slowly, she pans her eyes to the broken kitchen window, just glancing on the infinite darkness where the wind blows indefinitely. She just stares at it, reveling what could be beyond that little of a vast darkness.

But breaking her concentration is Lori, who is calling her, "Lynn, can you give us hot cocoa as well? It's literally in the fridge!"

Lynn cannot her them. Thus she asks, "Huh! What was that?!"

"Can you give us hot cocoa? It's in the fridge," Lori reiterates.

"What again?"

"Hot cocoa in the fridge. Just microwave them."

At this point, Lynn Jr. raises her voice aloud, "What was that? DID YOU SAY HOT COCOA?"

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" And just like that, she is taken above by an otherworldly arm with savage claws. But the thunder rolls in along as Lynn screams at the top of her lungs.


Upstairs, Lisa is undeterred at her father giving her a bedtime story. Her attention is still at the mysterious tremor from before. She is compelled to investigate for the remainder of the night. But her patriarch insists being out to rest.

Because of that, she interrupts, "Sorry to do this father but I need to get back to investigation."

"Lisa, don't you wanna know what happened to the Country Mouse? It's a good story."

"The mice in that story didn't do anything because they were cowards!"

"Woah, how dare you judged this story you haven't read before?"

"Please father. It was a judicial requirement for my kindergarten curriculum that was carried with pressure from the instructors. But the point is, father, I have serious evidence that an otherworldly presence has struck the vicinity."


Back to Lynn's situation, Leni proceeds to the kitchen to check on her sister. "Lynn, where's our cocoa? Lynn? Lynn?"

Suddenly, two mugs fall from the ceiling, leading her to assume that those are their mugs.

Alarmed, Leni shifts her eyes above to see the terror that lurked in their kitchen ceiling – a monster beyond imagination, devouring Lynn Loud Jr. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Lori hears her screams. And annoyed, she checks her sister out. "Leni, what's with all the screaming in the kitchen?" To her utter shock, the monster turns to her after devouring Leni. The creature is subterranean-like in form. Its skin is slimy and flesh-covered. It has no eyes. It is humanoid in form but quadruped in posture. And its huge emphasis on its ears makes it its most sensitive organ.

The creature just lurks at Lori, waiting for any movement that will trigger it for kill. And suddenly, she accidentally drops her phone to the floor, activating a ringtone.

Meanwhile, Lola and Lana return from upstairs on time to witness their sister and the creature. With no hesitation, the creature lunges on Lori, bringing horror to their faces.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Lola screams, triggering for the creature to lunge above her and presumably devour her.

Lana tries to escape back upstairs as the rest of the family (sans Lynn Sr. and Lisa) are disturbed by the commotion downstairs.

"Lana, what's going on?" Lincoln asks her. Her sisters then follow it up with more hubbubs.

Lana on the other hand senses the rains have stopped, signaling for more noise within the house to attract the creature. She is not sure about the monster's sensitivity to sound. But she is aware that other animals are triggered by noise. Thus, with no choice, she warns them loudly, "GUYS, QUIET!"

And just like that, the monster takes Lana by the jaws and swallows her a whole.

Lincoln, Luna, Luan and Lucy are the ones to witness this dreadfulness, prompting them to cover their mouths and hold firm the objects that trigger sound, like Luna's electric guitar.

The creature then walks around the hall. Lurking and lurking on every corner, it waits to be drawn to a source of sound everywhere it goes.


For a while, after she puts her baby to sleep, Rita carries Lily back to her room when she suddenly sees the creature, prompting her to shield Lily from it. She presumably overheard Lana's warning.

Not wanting to generate more sounds upon her walking, Rita retrieves baking soda from the kitchen and create a path in front of her. She straps in a baby carrier for Lily and slowly walks upstairs. However, the Loud matriarch accidentally steps on an exposed nail that drops her to the floor.

The monster hears this and crawls back downstairs.

Lynn Sr. witness this and signals to Lisa, "Monster. Downstairs."

"Who or what might be downstairs?" Lisa responds in ASL.

Confused, he gestures, "I don't know what you mean."

Lisa then reiterates to him through writing on a mini-whiteboard. "Who's downstairs, father?"

Lynn Sr. then recalls comprehensively who might be downstairs. But there are two people whom he suddenly grows concerned about. "Your mom and Lily."

Lisa wants to gasp but she covers her mouth. "What must we do?"

Lynn Sr. then gestures, "I idea have."

With that, the Loud family patriarch brings his 4-year-old with her other sisters. Lynn Sr. gathers them and have them wait near the staircase. He then asks for Luna's help on creating a diversion. Surely and quietly, they bring down one of Luna's amplifiers and place it on the yard. He then plugs in a jack to his phone and remains it there, setting the trap.

However, in dire circumstance, Rita is bleeding heavily on her left foot that she is on the verge of screaming. She rests in the bathtub of their private bathroom. Her mumbling that turns to sobbing slowly attracts the monster as it tries to receive a clearer sound from her. It opens its auditory organs, as soon as Rita's pain digs deep.

Slowly and slowly, the monster lurks close from the curtains and aims for her.

Second by second by second, Rita has no choice but…to…scream. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

But help comes in the way when Lynn Sr. makes his phone ring with a Nokia ringtone.

The monster gets annoyed and drawn to it, prompting it to sprint after the source and devour it. As they witness it to escape, Luna and Lynn Sr. rescue Rita and Lily, and carry them away from the scene. They subsequently bring her to the rest of the group. Lincoln and Lucy hurriedly tend to her wounds as blood continually gushes.

Lynn Sr. tries to calm his loving wife down. "Shhhhhh…"

But Rita suddenly yelps when alcohol is poured to her wounds. "AHHHHHHHHHH!"

The monster quickly hears this and chases after them.

Hearing the commotion, Lisa, on the spot, devises an idea and rapidly retrieves a bottle of nitro-glycerin to throw it to the monster. However, realizing it is insufficient to simply throw a bottle of sensitive mixture, Lisa prepares to run towards the monster.

Lynn Sr. gestures, "Do it don't, Lisa!"

"I have to, father!" she hand signals him.

But as she is about to sprint towards the monster, her father immediately takes the bottle and prepares to strike at the monster. Before he does, he lovingly tells Lisa, "I have always loved you." At the top of his lungs, he screams directly at the monster and…

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

The monster is gone but the siblings' father is as well.

Lisa runs to the remains of them both and drowns in despair. She wants to pour out her composure but she tries to seek peace over it.

Later on, Lincoln embraces her over the grief. Luan and Luna retrieve them both. And they all take a moment of silence over what was lost as the rain falls again.

It is then that Lisa finds peace. And she finally wakes up.


"LISA! LISA LOUD!" her kindergarten tries to wake her up. "LISA!"

Only at the third warning does Lisa wake up. "Sorry, ma'am. I just had a peculiar subconscious delusion that eerily resembles a Hollywood movie I watched."

"Good." Her teacher then becomes comforting this time. "Tell me, Lisa. You have been thinking about this all day. Now, do you now understand why you need to quiet down even if others won't? You don't need a megaphone to do so."

With no hesitation, Lisa nods her head.

Her teacher then comforts her by her hair. "It's okay, Lisa. We forgive you. You just need to understand a lot of lessons. Let's have lunch."

As they walk to the canteen, Lisa looks behind to see the same monster lurking at her. She simply smiles.


The sound of silence: the noise that no one notices. White noise that stings the ear, as much as the roaring of a lion and the growling of a hydra. Out there, in the vastness of space, no absolute peace is found. But where there is noise in the fray, there is peace. And rest assured that peace is offered freely, where it is never trapped in The Twilight Zone.
