Any income we receive will be used to pay for our tax preparation and business closure filings for 2025, our website maintenance so we can keep the podcast available for years to come, and to pay our sound editor for editing the final episodes!

Thank you all!!

Remember the Mentos commercials? Inspired by late stage capitalism, these faux ads for an evil soda are all a part of Cold Sweat, an edutainment project using scary stories to have tender conversations. Check out its first installment “Wham!” and other films by creators of the Mexican diaspora.

Had a great time with these amazing filmmakers—Li Sumpter, @duskyprojects.bsky.social, and Gabe Castro—at the How to Serve Man event last week. We screened our shorts and answered questions (moderated by The Micheaux Mission's own Len Webb). #BlackSky #HorrorSky #FilmSky

The film is part of the larger educational project Cold Sweat, which uses scary stories to facilitate discussions with young audiences about what scares us and how to face the monsters together. The project was cut short by the pandemic.
Dusky Projects is thrilled to be able to share it again!

"Wham!" is the story of Aquilah and friends who are the best students at MLK Middle School until their classmates break out into mysterious rage episodes. Our heroes must break the rules to find out the truth and save their school. And their futures.

I love practical effects and this one is brought to you by Jade Figueroa of #NecroFX. If you’re in Philly and like viscera, check out our upcoming rogue screenings of indie genre films by BIPOC artists. All proceeds go to spooky Black chicks making disruptive art.

A freaked out zombie stands next to a mad scientist in this still from 1932's White Zombie.

Did you know that the first 30 years of zombie movies were all about slave labor? Find out more at my history of Black horror talk this Tuesday! www.simpletix.com/e/a-history-... #HorrorSky #BlackSky #FilmSky

I wrote a series of #flashfiction based on the weirdest articles I could find about space, animals, robots, or climate. Some are featured on the fourth season of #blackwomenarescarypodcast but others are only on Patreon (for free). Check ‘em out, let me know your thoughts

We’re excited to be partnering with #SouthPhillyAutonomousCinema for our year’s end rogue screening. Come thru and support troublemaking artists, dope stories, and the fact that we’ve survived! Link in bio

Just finished the third chapter of my horror romance #Love&Monsters. I’ve never written a horror romance and was surprised how much fun I had. Check out the collection in our botanica aka Dusky Projects Patreon, and cast your vote if the series should continue.
