Hey all!
...
An archeological dig unearths an enormous stone casket. Bound within is gigantic corpse, mummified and bound in chains. The dig site is then lost in a sandstorm that lasts for nine days.
At the same time, a small town in middle America falls victim to a sudden contagion that depopulates the town in a single day. None dare search for survivors.
Meanwhile, a serial killer, long since thought dead or captured, seems to return to the streets of a major city to ply his grisly trade. Six die in a single evening, with a blood-drenched promise of more bodies to come.
Elsewhere, a man rises from a troubling dream where his long-dead wife greets him with a leprous kiss. His sanity dwindles like leaves on a dead tree as his world closes in around him. Can he piece this madness together before it pulls him apart?

So, I've been in kind of a horror mood lately. I've been reading a lot about horror and I've been trying to think about what would make good horror. I think I need to do more on this. So far this idea is coming out like a screenplay, but it will likely take on another form before too long. I'm very curious about how people experience horror. I'm not sure why this idea is so fascinating to me right now, but it really is and I can't seem to get enough of it. In that spirit, here's a demon with a horse-skull for a head. I love the movie Time Bandits, and I was thinking of Evil's minions as I drew this.
Also, as a shout out to all my watches and hangers-on, suggest me a book or movie. Anything that has frightened you. I want something truly scary. I dare you to freak me out!
