Who screamed? Was it you? We live our lives in a waking sleep, screaming only once we're startled awake to the full, terrifying, supernatural scope of reality.

More DescriptionWho screamed? Was it you?
We live our lives in a waking sleep, screaming only once we're startled awake to the full, terrifying, supernatural scope of reality.
That shadow whispered back to life by the autumn wind soughing through leafless limbs of the Halloween tree scratching outside your window...
the sibilant, perhaps growling sound rumbling deep in the bushes, warning you away...
the thing you've feared waiting for you in the dark of your bedroom since deepest childhood...
These bring merely shudders...
Screams, our one expression of true wakefullness, are only elicited when that which has spent lifetimes shrouded in shadow steps fully out into the white spectral light of the full moon...
Who screamed? Was it you?
Do you dare to wake?
Do you dare face your fears by the phantasmagoric silver of that nocturnal sliver floating high over a darkened world?
Do you dare wake...?
And, waking, scream?
Do you dare to take on fear after fear,horror after horror,terror after terror?
Do you dare visit every last buried phobia?
Do you dare scream ... UNTIL YOU CAN SCREAM NO MORE?
