For Specific Brains

Directly speaking to the people / teams whose work this slate naturally aligns with.

Monsters built out of trauma, faith, and failed compassion.
First Responder runs EMS calls into burning churches and basements where prayers went bad.

Tim Burton
Off-kilter, broken-hearted characters trying to function in a normal world.
Picking Murphys and They Heinous live where melancholy and dark humor share a pillow.

Sam Raimi (Spider-Man)
Sudden kinetic horror inside everyday spaces: wolf attacks in basements, Waffle House explosions,
violence that snaps from stillness to sprint.

Kinetic Horror
Everyday Chaos

Only Murders in the Building Team
Offset V = three lifelong friends who hunt vampires instead of podcasting about them.

that feel like a contemporary Hammer line.

Modern Gothic
Vampire Legacy

Karen, Linda, Jennife’, and the women across this slate drive the narrative.
Female-led thrillers with horror teeth, grounded in real-world trauma.
