Hum Distracts Even the Pros
Aspects refreshed Dec 19, 2025
The Flicker Phantom originated from a malfunctioning projector at a doomed drive-in theater, where it absorbed the essence of countless B-movie horrors. Now, it drifts between grindhouse venues, its flickering presence ensuring that each league's horror narrative remains authentically glitched and interconnected.
The Flicker Phantom is intangible yet can manipulate light and shadow to create flickering effects that disorient players. It emits a low hum like a film projector and leaves behind a faint, static-like energy that can briefly alter perceptions. Its presence causes minor glitches in the environment, such as shifting shadows or distorted sounds, enhancing the B-movie horror atmosphere.
The Flicker Phantom ensures the seamless flow of horror narratives across grindhouse leagues by causing cinematic glitches that connect disparate subgenres, reinforcing the overarching B-movie saga and challenging players to adapt to its distortions.
