I’d be the first in line for the coveted PSL. And when I took that first sip of this luxurious, creamy concoction… that’d be it. I wouldn’t finish it all. Surprised?

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.

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.

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.
