Worth Watching: ..., 'Two Sentence Horror Stories,' ...
Two Sentence Horror Stories (9/8c, The CW): Sadly, these back-to-back suspense vignettes don't stop at two minutes. The gimmick is to set up a spooky situation in a single sentence — the opener starts with, "She was stiff and cold in my arms" — with the second sentence arriving at the end as a macabre kicker. It's all about as thin as it sounds, and not as shivery as it would like to be, although the twist in the opening "Gentleman" episode is a pretty good one. "Gentleman" starts off like your typical serial-killer stalker/slasher episode, when a single mom (Nicole Kang) runs afoul of a sinister suitor (True Blood's Jim Parrick) whose M.O. is punishing anyone he sees as a bad parent. The second episode, "Squirm," about an office worker who fears the worst after she wakes naked from a holiday party, might as well be called "Yawn."
