The Uncanny Valley

The Uncanny Valley: You are in a vibrant nightclub filled with colourful laser lights, loud music and a vibrant crowd. Through the crowd you notice a blank, uncanny face that stares back at you. You have no idea what his intentions are, or why he is staring at you, but you know something about him, the emptiness in his eyes is not quite human. Monsters may not be real, but humans with monstrous intentions most certainly are.
