Have A Seat & Watch The Short Film Everyone's Talking About, 'The Chair'

Have A Seat & Watch The Short Film Everyone’s Talking About, ‘The Chair’

Writer-director Curry Barker’s award-winning short horror film, The Chair, is taking the horror world by storm, and rightfully so. So, of course, we have to share it. . The Chair centers on “Reese (Anthony Pavone), who brings home an antique chair, and a series of horrific events follow, leading him to question if it is a malevolent spirit possessing the chair or the darkness inside his own mind.” Haley Schwartz gives a fantastic, eerie performance in the short film that also stars Jonnathon Cripple and David Alan Graf. The brilliant 24-minute-long film is a fantastic, twisted, dark tale that we would love to see adapted for a feature film. It serves as a metaphor for the suffering of people with illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, which in reality, is absolutely terrifying. Currently, The Chair has had over 835,000 views. Who knew that a chair could cause such horrors?

"Rumpus Room": New Dark Comic Series Announced By AWA

“Rumpus Room”: New Dark Comic Series Announced By AWA

From the twisted mind of Mark Russell (Not All Robots) comes Rumpus Room, the upcoming satirical thriller series distributed by comics publisher AWA. Created by Russell and artist Ramon Rosanas (Ant-Man, Star Trek), Rumpus Room tells the story of Bob Schrunk, a technocrat billionaire, collector of bad art, and victim of a hideous skin condition that can only be treated with a highly illicit and definitely not FDA-approved face cream that must be…harvested. “RUMPUS ROOM is a parable for how in American civilization, on some level, we’re set against each other by forces that are too powerful for us to reach,” explains writer Mark Russell. “It parallels the underlying assumption of American life as well: ‘I can’t do anything about the real things that are destroying me, so I’ll take all my rage out against the people who cross me.’ RUMPUS ROOM is about this misguided anger that we all have and how it weaponizes us against each other.” After
