Night Cry "Night Cry" is a trilogy in the tradition of "Alfred Hitchcock's Presents" featuring the episodes "Prayer for the Dead," "Last Stop Before Home," and "Coming Soon to a Neighborhood Near You". "Night Cry" began as an original idea Francis Xavier, the show's creator and executive producer, came up with twenty years ago for a television series on modern day horror. "Prayer for the Dead" It started like so many missing person mysteries: a young wife out for a walk never to be seen again. Two detectives hear a tale of abomination, and one husband is praying for the truth. "Last Stop Before Home" A deputy sheriff, two teens, a little old man, and a massacre.
