A new analog horror series, Final Transmissions, is in the works, and it aims to capture the spirit of ’90s cable access television, featuring original artwork from Trevor Henderson.
The six-episode found footage anthology series is “Set in the small town of Eldritch, Illinois in 1999, the show follows a local TV host who begins airing strange and terrifying signals he claims to be receiving from unknown sources—each one more disturbing than the last.”
The series, which currently launched a campaign on Indiegogo, looks to capture the unnerving atmosphere of media like Unsolved Mysteries, The Blair Witch Project, Silent Hill, and Marble Hornets.
Created by husband-and-wife team Steven Hugh Nelson and Erica Nelson, Final Transmissions is described to blend “nostalgia, conspiracy, and existential dread into a surreal narrative told through grainy VHS aesthetics.”
“There’s something uniquely terrifying about found footage,” says Steven Hugh Nelson. “The rawness, the unpredictability—like...

From the eerie static of forgotten airwaves comes Final Transmissions, a six-episode analog horror anthology series that resurrects the haunted spirit of late-‘90s cable access television. Set in the small town of Eldritch, Illinois in 1999, the show follows a local TV host who begins airing strange and terrifying signals he claims to be receiving from unknown sources—each one more disturbing than the last.
The series, currently seeking $20,000 in funding on Indiegogo, aims to capture the unnerving atmosphere of media like Unsolved Mysteries, The Blair Witch Project, Silent Hill, and Marble Hornets.

Composed by Alexandra Kalinowski, the soundtrack for Screambox’s Lizzie Lazarus is now available digitally on Spotify and Apple Music.
Watch the music video for “Infants” — arranged by Kalinowski and performed by Lizzie herself, Megan Oesterreich — below. The song opens the film, setting a quirky tone for the psychological folk-horror film.
“I am lucky to call Alexandra one of my closest friends and have gotten to collaborate with her multiple times over our 15 years of friendship. She is one of the sharpest cinematic minds, not just when it comes to film score, but when talking about story and themes,” says writer-director Aviv Rubinstien.
“As a result, I love to include her as early in the process as possible. Alexandra read and gave notes on the screenplay for Lizzie Lazarus, attended rehearsals, and worked on themes and motifs that I could provide to the actors to help them get into the vibe of the movie.

It’s the type of setup that instantly calls Jud Crandall’s warning from Pet Sematary to mind: Sometimes dead is better.
