Some urban legends begin with a story.

This one began with a dare.

Night of the Cackling Man, the long-awaited prequel to Cabin of the Cackling Man, is coming to Anime Magic!

It’s the 1980s, and a harmless slumber-party ritual has gone terribly wrong. The ritual worked. Now the hideous Cackling Man is coming for you.

Trapped inside a house that feels increasingly unsafe, you must uncover its secrets and keep him outside until sunrise. Strange late-night television broadcasts flicker to life, showing warped programs and corrupted commercials that seem to know you’re watching. Somewhere in the noise are warnings, rules, and clues left by those who faced the Cackling Man before—and survived.

Can you uncover the truth behind the urban legend and make it through the night?

Watch the doors. Watch the windows. Listen to the television.

Listen for the cackling.
