❝...Say Zach, do you remember the first bar we ever went into? Fun times, wouldn’t you say Zach? That's right. It wasn’t like any of the old movies we saw back then. Such as 1994’s indie cult film, Pulp fiction, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Boy did that Uma Therman sure know how to dance… Did you know the set location was actually a closed down bowling alley? Still, It was quite the culture shock for us to truly experience the real deal. Though you could never handle your alcohol, could you Zach? For being in a small town such as Greenvale, The Galaxy of Terror has a surprisingly lively nightlife atmosphere. Great place, though they don't serve coffee. I think it could even rival that of bars in other bigger Washington cities, don’t you think Zach?❞

My piece for Bonus Footage @deadlypremonitionzine for Deadly Premonition's 15th year anniversary! This game has that small town campy charm while simultaneously being one of the most haunting horror concepts that it made a very strong impression on me the first time I came across it about eight years ago.

Mostly this piece was inspired by the thought of these two sisters getting the happy ending that was denied for them, in an alternative universe kind of way. With Carol still performing her heart out on stage, and Thomas able to join in by accompanying her on the piano.

Thomas is wearing a squirrel necklace specifically modeled after a Beechey ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi), to go with her special interest and because it's the most common type locally to where the game would take place.

The film strip is homage to Zach and York’s love of movies. The sound waves (which used to be printed on old film reels!) is the actual visual audio pattern with Carol singing “I dream of you” which I transposed using editing software. Even though it's a blink and you miss it detail I thought it was worth the effort haha.

Besides all the police station keys from Thomas’ search request, I added other in game items, such as the red seeds, York’s no smoking lighter, Thomas’ biscuit, York’s coffee (with FK swirled in the cream!), the reversed peace sign, and some cigarettes.

The leaves falling are specifically from the red trees local to Greenvale, that sparks the entire plot (and the horrors).

Galaxy of Terror is a really great bad movie. An Alien bite without which the movie Aliens as we know it might not exist. A film of parts, with recognizable friendly faces and of course the maggot scene.
