S2E42 Just a Little Wider: Please Remain Still

Just a Little Wider | Month of the Macabre He's already been waiting more than an hour. He's sick, exhausted, and ready to leave. But the dentist can see him now. Surely it won't take long. Then the dentist finds something unusual. As the exam continues, the patient grows increasingly ill. The dentist's behavior becomes more disturbing. Familiar sounds begin to suggest terrible things, and with every passing minute, it becomes harder to tell whether the danger is coming from the person holding the instruments, or from something happening inside the patient's own body. Inspired by the real possibility that systemic infections can leave clues in the mouth, *Just a Little Wider* is an immersive work of medical horror in which illness, perception, and reality become impossible to separate. 💀 Month of the Macabre 2026 — An original *Infectious Dose* horror story. 🎬 This week's #SickFlicks: *Dead Ringers* (1988) and *The Autopsy of Jane Doe* (2016)—two unsettling films about medical authority, the vulnerability of the human body, and exams that take a horrifying turn. 🎧 Headphones recommended.
