Short #HorrorFilm watch party went well. A few friends and a couple of new friends tuned in. I will definitely be doing another one of these in the near-future -- and now that I know how to use the platform (sync-tube), I'll share the URL with folks here on Mastodon. I'll be posting links to the public playlists, that contain the films that were shown.

So, I'm looking into some platforms that would allow me to host some virtual events and have chat rooms for folks to interact. If all goes well, I'll be hosting a Short #HorrorFilm Festival next weekend, and may do more of them in the near-future. Is that something folks here would be interested in?

Werewood, located in Southern Vermont, is notoriously known as one of the "quarantined towns" – areas sealed off by the government for undisclosed reasons. While it appears as a typical suburban town on any given day, legend has it that under a full moon, Werewood physically morphs into a dark, gothic city. Not only does its architecture transform, but every living being, from humans to animals, undergo beastial and bizzarre changes . Neighboring towns have reported seeing these eerie entities prowling their streets during full moon nights. Brave souls who have ventured into Werewood during these times swear they've witnessed the town itself contorting, its buildings shifting and groaning as if they themselves were immense transforming monsters.

Before the Great Darkness, legends spoke of haunted roads where ghostly apparitions were seen crossing at night. However, post-1999, these stories multiplied. A prominent tale centers on a ragged figure named "Gemma," who haunts Illborough Road near the post-noctum town of Eden Falls, England. She is rumored to wander the road at night, seemingly adrift from the world. Those who claim to have seen her believe they are doomed to relive her grisly death in their dreams. Since her end came during the Great Darkness, they can't fully remember the nightmare but sense its deep and horrifying nature.

In a world veiled in post-noctum mysteries, tales of eerie cities and forsaken towns abound. Among them is the urban legend of the Lost Town of Quietville. Travelers, en route to their destinations, often find themselves on winding backroads that lead to this peculiar hamlet. Eyewitnesses recount homes adorned with bizarre symbols, and behind every window, there's a figure with a grotesque hand over their mouth. As if entranced, they continuously sketch these uncanny symbols onto fogged windows, never pausing. Those bold enough to attempt entry assert that the houses lack doors and the windows are unbreakable. Within the town, voices are inexplicably subdued, turning any spoken words into mere whispers. When travelers finally depart from Quietville, they can never locate it again. Some believe that discovering Quietville is a curse; upon death, they will become another silent inhabitant of the town.

The Spirit Photographer is a mysterious figure rumored to wander the globe, snapping photos of unsuspecting individuals. Allegedly, the moment his camera flashes, the person—or, in some instances, people—he photographs vanish, leaving only their shadows behind. Witnesses to this chilling phenomenon claim they can hear screams originating from his camera as he hastily departs the scene. It's widely speculated that he somehow ensnares the souls of his subjects, transporting them back to his shadowy darkroom for purposes that remain unknown.

The "Underfather" is a cryptic entity linked to the rumored surge of mutations following the Great Darkness. While popular belief holds that these mutated individuals were either exterminated or subjected to experiments, alternative theories suggest they were summoned underground. Many of these mutated beings have christened this entity as the "Underfather." Its motives remain an enigma, yet some theorize that it shares a connection with Aghastial, the Angel of Deformity. Certain texts portray the Underfather as Aghastial's progeny, charged with guiding her offspring to the earth's depths for sanctuary. Despite these speculations, the true intentions of the Underfather remain elusive.

@world_beauty Holy frijoles, that’s some #Lovecraftian image!

The Arithym were the tainted Mythra who survived the Tanin Fall, also known as the First Darkness. Much about these beings remains shrouded in mystery, but they were notorious for wearing demonic masks that concealed their horrifying faces, visages so dreadful that merely looking upon them induced madness. The Arithym, now believed to be extinct, frequently used serpent lines to conjure dark energies and spawn malicious creatures and beasts. Sometimes, they would employ dark technologies to harness energies from various bolgias, embodying their power. Little is known about the Arithym's demise, but the shadow of their existence lingers.

The Mad Bagger is among the more peculiar exopaths currently at large. Through the testimonies of the few who have managed to escape him, and in the letters he's left behind, he is portrayed as the final hope for a dying universe. His modus operandi involves capturing his victims and placing them into a sizable burlap sack he perpetually carries. However, it is his claim about what the bag contains that proves most unsettling.

The killer asserts that the bag is home to a dark universe teetering on the brink of extinction, or, in his words, a "bolgia." He nourishes this dying universe with people, and in exchange, it endows him with strange capabilities. The Mad Bagger has indeed demonstrated bizarre feats. For instance, it is documented that between the hours of 2 and 3 AM, he can infiltrate any structure - from common households to high-tech security mansions, even prisons. Some victims have reported swarms of flies emerging from his bag, while another claimed to have heard unnervingly pitched voices singing from its abyssal depths.

However, some scholars do not consider him an exopath at all, but instead believe he might be the sentient manifestation of a dying universe striving to sustain itself. Regardless of his exact nature, the Mad Bagger remains notoriously elusive and possesses abilities that remain largely unexplained.

The Thorn and Bramble schools were established as covert endeavors by occult organizations, such as the Brimstone Society, aiming to infiltrate affluent and influential families in order to manipulate their offspring. These institutions masqueraded as nanny and tutoring businesses, employing men and women who were actually practitioners of dark arts and members of secret cabals. Their intention was to indoctrinate the children into their clandestine groups by taking them into the woods and teaching them secret occult practices, including covert rituals and forging demonic alliances. The ultimate goal was to ensure that as the children grew older and inherited their parents' wealth, they would advance the hidden agendas of these secret cabals and amass greater political power.

During the 1870s and 1880s, numerous suspicious deaths occurred within well-to-do families, and the offspring of these families redirected funds to dubious organizations. It wasn't until 1895, following the suspicious demise of Avery and Diane Fitzgerald, that authorities initiated an investigation into these educational agencies. Eventually, in 1896, the Sills Company underwent scrutiny and was subsequently indicted for murder and an array of other charges. The members of this organization faced execution the following year.

In an entirely distinct context, the present-day Post Noctum world has become fertile ground for the resurgence of the Thorn and Bramble Schools. Initial evidence points towards the Brimstone Society, now operating under a different name—the Osculuum—as the orchestrators, although the involvement of other cabals cannot be dismissed. Over time, notable figures have met their demise under suspicious circumstances, leaving their descendants to inherit vast wealth and lend support to the Nocturnalist lobby or make extravagant donations to Ravelynn University—a sanctuary for clandestine societies.

According to the Dark Scholars, the Tanin are an ancient race of behemoth creatures that once roamed the earth. These entities were believed to dwell on Dragon Lines, which are understood as geometric alignments of local energies. The creatures drew sustenance from these energies. 

Many academics and mystics are of the view that the Hebrews and Canaanites had knowledge of these beasts. In fact, it's posited that numerous cultures may have had different names for them. For instance, in Judeo-Christian apocalypse lore, they are referred to as Leviathan and Behemoth. Nordic traditions speak of the Midgard Serpent - a gigantic serpent that encircles the earth. Greek mythology presents the Hydra, Typhon, Echidna, and the Titans. These depictions may have been different cultures' attempts to understand these massive creatures.

However, the Dark Scholars currently face the enigma of the whereabouts of these creatures. Some hypothesize that they were exterminated by other subterranean races, such as the Bae'ulle. Others theorize that they either departed or were displaced, with the energies of the ley lines serving as portals to other realms.
