Red editing marks bleed across its ethereal surface, constantly rewriting reality's horror narrative. Spectral cigarette smoke trails from its form, carrying the essence of countless midnight writing sessions in dingy studio offices. The entity can phase between different horror subgenres, adapting its manifestation to match each venue's specific B-movie aesthetic.
