BANNISTER DOLL HEIST proves stealing the wrong pac BANNISTER DOLL HEIST proves stealing the wrong package can be deadly ๐Ÿช†๐Ÿฉธ 

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 โ€” and doesnโ€™t let up.

SLICE is brutal, bold, and not pulling any punches SLICE is brutal, bold, and not pulling any punches ๐Ÿ”ช๐Ÿฉธ 

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

Step right upโ€ฆ ๐ŸŽ  I sat down with musician/compose Step right upโ€ฆ ๐ŸŽ 

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

Weโ€™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 ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ”ช 

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, itโ€™s subtle, unsettling, and seriously gripping.

DEAD END is a haunting spiral you canโ€™t escape ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿ˜” DEAD END is a haunting spiral you canโ€™t escape ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿ˜” 

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