A horror anthology series where different new directors, writers, and actors could film 45-minute adaptations of their favorite classic horror stories or original works. They would have complete creative control and a budget for "big name" actors to do cameos.

A man walking with his girlfriend in the "distracted boyfriend" meme style; the girl is in a white Greek toga, the man is turned around looking at Medusa in a red dress. The man is turned to stone.

What if we had the story of Medusa all wrong? What if she were a beauty harassed incessantly by gods and mortals alike, who pleaded with Athena for help? So Athena gave her snakes for hair to bite groping hands, and a gaze that will turn predators to stone. The free garden statuary is a bonus.

Ever been spooked by The Backrooms? Could you no-clip into a endless maze, lost and alone? This is actually a photo of an old furniture store in Wisconsin that was bought and emptied out to create a RC racetrack joint.

Part of the reason English is such a chaotic language is that we use an alphabet designed for Latin to write Germanic words. We have 26 letters trying to keep up with 44 sounds. Bring back fuþark, or at least restore the runic letters we kicked out.
