Gruesome Gaming: Slayaway Camp

Transport back to the beginning of video games with many made to look like the 8- and 16-bit games we grew up with. Pair an 80s look with a very 80s theme, and we’ve got one spicy meatball: Slayaway Camp.

BANNISTER DOLL HEIST proves stealing the wrong pac BANNISTER DOLL HEIST proves stealing the wrong package can be deadly πŸͺ†πŸ©Έ 

What starts as a simple crime quickly turns into a full-blown nightmare when a possessed doll is unleashed. Creepy, chaotic, and packed with gnarly kills, this one flips from thriller to horror fast β€” and doesn’t let up.

SLICE is brutal, bold, and not pulling any punches SLICE is brutal, bold, and not pulling any punches πŸ”ͺ🩸 

This anthology flips the script on horror, diving into male desperation, addiction, and identity β€” with some seriously gnarly consequences. Graphic, thought-provoking, and unapologetically raw, it’s horror that cuts deep in more ways than one.

Step right up… 🎠 I sat down with musician/compose Step right up… 🎠

I sat down with musician/composer @cursemackey to talk about his work on @the.unknowable.series β€” a surreal analog horror series where an abandoned amusement park becomes something far more sinister.

We’re diving into the sound of dread, cosmic horror, hypnotic tones, and how music helps bring the unknowable to life.

BASIC PSYCH is a slow-burn descent into paranoia a BASIC PSYCH is a slow-burn descent into paranoia and doubt 🧠πŸ”ͺ 

This psychological thriller trades jump scares for mind games, pulling you into a tense cat-and-mouse story where nothing feels certain. With a twist that begs for a rewatch, it’s subtle, unsettling, and seriously gripping.

DEAD END is a haunting spiral you can’t escape πŸ©ΈπŸ˜” DEAD END is a haunting spiral you can’t escape πŸ©ΈπŸ˜” 

This chilling short blends psychological horror with something far more real, as one man’s desperate bid for freedom turns into an endless nightmare of guilt, abuse, and pursuit. Bleak, powerful, and deeply unsettlingβ€”it truly lives up to its name.
