Actually I meant Arcadia, the internet horror web series, similar to the Mystery Flesh Pit series that Wil mentioned in his original post.

There is so much cool internet horror that could work as settings for TTRPGs that I'm really happy to see the Mystery Flesh Pit getting this treatment... Hopefully, Arcadia gets a similar pass!

Are they on Cameo for a video message??

I can still hear Orac's booting up noise when I see his image! 😂

Horrifying.

Never count your money while sitting at the table.

I watched the first couple of episodes of Breaking Bad, but that's all... Never seen any of the rest either!

I've never seen E.T. The Extraterrestrial.

My dad took my two older brothers to see it when it was released, but I was too young. This upset me at the time and I swore I'd never watch it.

I'm now 50 years old.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

“My dear Bagginses and Boffins,“ he began again; "and my dear Tooks and Brandybucks, and Grubbs, and Chubbs, Burrowses, and Hornblowers, and Bolgers, Bracegirdles, Goodbodies, Brockhouses and Webfoots.”

“WebFEET!” shouted an elderly duck from the back of the pavilion.

Big box computing as historical artefact as installation art as analog horror.

I'm a massive fan of the whole series, but the first one remains special. The fact that it isn't even about the Cenobites at all, but is more of a drama about toxic relationships dressed up as demonic monster horror always seems to surprise new viewers! 😂

I love the start of Hellraiser. Guy buys a mysterious puzzle box and opens it, summoning hooked chains and body pierced demons a-plenty... Cue mutilation before one of said demons solves the box in reverse and suddenly the room is reset in a jarring flash of light, ready to start the story proper.
