Nobody panic. Okay, maybe panic a little. Dread Central has an exclusive clip from the season finale of WIDOW'S BAY, and it looks like the island's residents are about three seconds away from complete chaos!

Me in my 20s sleeping at a friend’s house: “Don’t worry that you haven’t got a spare bed, I will sleep in my clothes on the kitchen floor or in the bath or folded into a cupboard or in the big bush outside your front door or in a bin” Me in my 40s: “Thank you for the offer of a spare bed, but I’m going to drive three hours home to my own one instead”
