Dhar Mann’s Halloween series drops first ‘Secret of the Shadows’ episode

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for all things horror and a knack for binge-watching YouTube content, I can confidently say that Dhar Mann’s Secret of the Shadows is a must-watch this Halloween. With his impressive track record of captivating storytelling and a knack for blending suspense with heartwarming narratives, Mann has once again outdone himself.


You might have missed it, but Dhar Mann’s hit YouTube channel has millions of subscribers and 12 TV series – with the latest in line being Halloween special Secret of the Shadows.

This Halloween, even if my favorite spine-chilling films aren’t enough to keep me awake at night, I can still get my horror fix thanks to YouTube! Creator Dhar Mann has been crafting chilling shorts and web series on his channel since 2018, amassing millions of views.

He’s already got 11 shows available to stream, including Antwan Against All Odds and Emily Ever After, but now the film mogul is trying his hand at family-friendly horror.

The outcome features a collection of Halloween tales encompassing topics such as teenage dreams of being vampires and unsettling stories involving elderly men in deserted homes. The first episode has been released, so let’s delve into what this chilling series by Dhar Mann truly entails.

What’s Secret of the Shadows about?

The Secret of the Shadows is a collection of spooky tales suitable for all ages, with a new story unfolding in each episode. Episode 1, titled ‘A Sick Girl Falls in Love with a Vampire’, delivers just that – a captivating narrative about a girl and her supernatural love interest.

The basic idea is clear: Vince, who happens to be a vampire, spends his nights cleaning at a nearby hospital. He develops a bond with Reena, a patient whose cancer treatment isn’t responding. Trouble arises for Reena’s mother, Verna, as she struggles to cover the costs and owes money to a local drug dealer gang.

As Vince and Reena grow closer, it’s discovered that Reena requires one more costly round of chemotherapy she can’t afford. Moved by this, Vince takes action. He confronts the local mob, seizes their funds, and anonymously informs the media about their illegal activities to get them arrested. Meanwhile, Reena and her companion use the money for her treatment. In this new role of protecting others, Vince finds a sense of fulfillment.

For frequent viewers of Dhar Mann’s content, many familiar faces will catch your eye here. Notably, Sik has starred in tales like ‘The billionaire who fell for the poor boy,’ and Chikin Chow is well-known for running a widely viewed YouTube channel independently.

At the close of Episode 1, viewers are given a sneak peek into Episode 2, featuring a character that seems similar to The Substance in her youth. A troubled teenager is shown, harboring resentment towards a woman assumed to be her stepmother and being tormented by members of her cheerleading squad. In an attempt to change her appearance, she seeks help from a beauty salon employee for a cosmetic procedure, but instead, she applies a substance reminiscent of Coralie Fargeat’s goo onto her face.

Hopefully, this doesn’t end with said girl growing separate faces out of her mutilated body.

Assuming that new episodes will follow Mann’s usual release pattern on Mondays and Wednesdays at 5 pm Pacific Standard Time, we might anticipate a total of six episodes being shown. Nevertheless, it should be noted that this hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. The initial series teaser hints at the presence of at least three distinct storylines.

One of these is our teenage vampire love story seen above, with the second being the bullied cheerleader looking for some aesthetic relief. The third comes in the form of another young girl who’s enlisted to babysit at a creepy old house, with a little girl refusing to get out of bed.

Although it seems like our initial storyline might not be fully wrapped up yet, there’s a sense that things are coming to a close for Vince as he discovers his purpose. However, potential consequences may still arise for Verna if she continues to borrow from the mob. As for Vince and Reena, they haven’t technically fallen in love yet.

The official summary for this thrilling series reveals a secret universe teeming with vampires, aliens, zombies, spirits, and other supernatural beings. As the enigmas unravel, viewers will be enthralled by the unexpected twists and turns that combine suspense with heartfelt, motivational themes they’ve grown fond of.
