Corn Maiden
A tale about a young girl traveling with her father who leads a group of pioneers venturing west following the railroad boom of the mid 1800s who stumbles upon a tribe of Indians and learns a particular type of magic only available on Halloween, which becomes very useful when the pioneers bring darkness with them.
Echoes
A horror noir set in 1950s Los Angeles about a down-on-his-luck detective who is thrust into the bizarre missing case story of a woman involved with the supernatural amid a serial killer’s vicious rampage.
