It’s October and that means it’s time to get into the spirit of the season, and obviously nothing gets you into the Halloween mood better than horror. Unfortunately when it comes to most live-action horror films, there’s only so much that can be done and shown, but thankfully of all things, Anime can cross the line with story, gore, and intriguing storytelling.

This October, take a trip to the most terrifying place you’ve never heard of, Lake Artifact. In the film, “Five friends pick up a drifter on their way to a cabin in Upstate New York for a three day weekend.

We jokingly wondered ‘what if we saw ourselves in one of these photos’.
