My dearest cinephiles, do we have a show for you! Four, actually, comprising one of the creepiest series we have enjoyed backstage, here at the Calamity in quite some time. Come watch with us, as we dive into this mockumentary of a Haunted House development gone wrong:

Background depicts a giant tree with gnarled roots spread across the foreground of the bottom of the image, the trunk and branches extending up and out across the rest of the cover. The background is dimmed, with a column of light superimposed upon it. In the upper left, the Mad Alex emblem sits just above the word 'Vegas,' which is set over the word 'Rift.' Across the center, in two lines, are the statement 'A Tale from the Odds n Endings Boutique.' The author's name, 'Mad Alex,' is displayed in the lower right.
