The History of Metal and Horror
$13,666 USD
Chances are, if your group of friends like horror movies, a certain percentage of them are also metalheads. The History of Metal and Horror documentary dissects the connection between these two dark arts while celebrating their creators. Of course, they’re doing it with help from notable figures in both communities such as Alice Cooper, John Carpenter, Rob Zombie, Linnea Quigley, Corey Taylor, Kane Hodder, and Doug Bradley.
Color Me Horrified
$672 CAD
Adult colouring books have become all the rage the last couple of years, helping stressed-out brains return to the relaxation of childhood.

$3,500 CAD
Is there a greater terror for a young person than setting out to fulfill your dreams, only to fail miserably and have to move back in with your parents?

In the “art imitating life” category, we have SKOTUS: A Political Horror Comic. Described as a cross between House of Cards and Dexter, this 30 page full colour comic book follows the exploits of a president who leads the country by day, and commits bloody murder by night as the Patriot Killer.
Masquerade!
$2,162 CAD
Sometimes we have social anxieties for good reason. John finds this out the hard way in Masquerade! Deciding to test the limits of his comfort zone, he agrees to attend a party. Unfortunately for him, this gathering is more about cults and kidnapping than pop and chips. Should have just stayed home, John.
