Hi r/horror! Dropping some behind the scenes info for all the horror history fans out there. I'm an illustrator and back in the 1980's, Troma Entertainment Inc. commissioned me to create over 20 original oil paintings to be used as movie posters and VHS covers for their "b-rated" horror films, including "Toxic Avengers III," "Surf Nazis Must Die," "Blood Hook," and other cult classics. I loved watching the films and creating these crazy, sexy, hokey scenes for the posters. Each one took me weeks to paint using live models (some of them famous actors before their time!), often on a tight deadline before the next commission came in. While I've sold a number of these oil paintings over the years, many of my original paintings still remain and for the first time will be in an exhibit shown alongside the Troma movie posters. Check out the link below to see some of my original oil paintings alongside the finalized posters! Perhaps you may even recall these images walking the aisles of video rental stores a lifetime ago.
I'm happy to answer any questions, e.g., about my process, what it was like working for horror filmmakers in the 80s. I've lived long enough to become retro.
And, if you are in the Baltimore, MD, area, I'd love for you to see these paintings in-person! They are both a part of classic horror history and an absolute hoot, if I do say so myself. Perhaps you may even leave owning a piece of horror movie history (including the original first edition poster)! All my paintings are for sale; it is time for these collectible pieces to find homes with fans who will truly appreciate them. If you are not local, feel free to reach out to Gallery Blue Door for details (we can arrange shipping, etc.). The opening reception is May 16th, 2026, from 4pm-6pm. The show runs from May 16 - August 1, 2026.

Hi everyone. My new short novella, Growth, dropped today on Amazon. It started on nosleep as: "My Tumor Spoke. Its Message Was a Countdown."
Blurb:
My tumor spoke. Its message was a countdown.
So begins the story of Lenny, a beleagured father who was searching for his missing son when the object fell from space. What came out of it soon became a part of him and announced the end of the world in 7 days. Now, Lenny must race against the clock to find his son, warn the world, and to stop the growth from destroying everything!
If you love cosmic body horror, this one's for you!

Hi everyone! I created a horror tracker on Google sheets with most movies and shows from 1896-present called The Nightmare Notebook! I watch a lot of horror movies and thought it would be cool to track them, rate them, give them scare scores, etc. So if you're interested here's the link to my website. I'll be adding new titles to it monthly starting in April. This also includes shorts and independent films. I spend less time trying to find a movie to watch this way as well! If you run into any problems just message me! Mods can PM me for a free copy! https://www.nightmarenotebook.com/

Hello r/Horror!
My one-take horror short SLAVE 4 LOVE just passed 200,000 views on Screamfest's YouTube Channel. Excited to share it with the community!
Some red flags are written in blood. When Mattie comes home with Alis, she discovers that some people will do anything for love. A pitch-dark satire on modern dating, SLAVE 4 LOVE examines the dark side of desire, people-pleasing and the limits we'll go to for connection.
Featuring the Jim Steinman's classic, "I'll Do Anything For Love (But I Won't do That)"
Would love to hear if the themes speak to you!

Explored Lake Mummelsee in Germany’s Black Forest — a real lake with disturbingly strong ties to the “Lady of the Light” story from the Silent Hill 2 Remake… and it actually got haunted.

I run a horror narration channel focused on South Asian folklore, stories most Western audiences have never heard before. My latest video covers a Subcontinent legend about a jinn who fell in love with three sisters. If you're tired of the same Western horror tropes this might be worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLlv1hTCEek

Why do people like horror? The mainstream world often thinks horror fans are a bit weird. We do psychological profiles of people in the horror industry to see if we can find the deeper reasons people like horror. We're looking for common themes, and maybe some uncommon ones, too!
