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.

This Panic Fest premiere expands the cryptid madness with cults, creepy creatures, and some wild meta humor. It may not hit quite like the original, but it’s still a fun, froggy ride into the unknown.

What starts as an awkward second date quickly spirals into a gross, anxiety-inducing nightmare you won’t be able to look away from. Equal parts unsettling and seriously disgusting, this short will have you squirming long after it ends.
