  • Tales From the Blue Line - The Roommate Agreement
    Jan 20 2026

    After landing a suspiciously affordable apartment in Logan Square, a grad student discovers her new roommate is a 90s-obsessed ghost who is less interested in haunting her and more interested in the proper way to label her leftovers.


    Tales From The Blue Line: Every morning at three, Mason and Ally ride the Blue Line into downtown Chicago together. The train brings out its own brand of weird, which has led to Mason and Ally trading spooky stories to help their commute pass a little faster.

  • Tales From the Blue Line - Five Minutes After Midnight
    Jan 13 2026

    After missing his train by the usual five minutes, a habitually late man finds himself trapped in a hauntingly empty subway station where the clocks have stopped, the passengers have his own face, and the next stop is always the same.


    Tales From The Blue Line: Every morning at three, Mason and Ally ride the Blue Line into downtown Chicago together. The train brings out its own brand of weird, which has led to Mason and Ally trading spooky stories to help their commute pass a little faster.
