Friends Are Forever: A Barney Analog Horror Film

After purchasing a Barney doll, friends Kyle and Derek uncover a piece of Barney lost media that ensnares them in the schemes of a mysterious and dangerous superfan. Friends Are Forever unfolds as a grounded, psychological analog-horror told through found-media fragments, ARG breadcrumbs, and 2010s digital ephemera to explore how fandom, nostalgia, and exploitation collide in the internet age. Praised as “insanely well executed and thought out,” viewers highlight its “high production quality for a first-timer to the horror genre.”

One of the Thirty-six

The action takes place during the January Uprising. A Russian commander imposed a tribute on a town inhabited by Jews; the money was appropriated by an adjutant, and eleven hostages faced court martial for allegedly failing to pay tribute and forging the commander's signature. A legend is woven into the plot: the sacred number 36 indicates thirty-six righteous. Nameless, unknown to anyone, they live as paupers or simpletons, carrying the burden of the world's sins on their shoulders. A good deed or a miracle that averts misfortune betrays them; however, the perpetrator of the miracle must die. The film has not survived to this day.
