Gray Matter: An Acid Horror Anthology Podcast
Welcome to Gray Matter Video, the only video rental store where you can find tapes telling true tales of horrific transformation, bodily destruction, and death from all across the dimensional spectrum.
With a blend of original stories from author Jonathan Inbody in the proud tradition of Carpenter and Cronenberg, and modern adaptations of classic Weird Fiction tales from authors like H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe, this full-cast scifi-horror anthology explores the blurred line between psychology and biology alongside the flawed and fragile depths of human nature when faced with the hideous unknown.
At Gray Matter, everything is horribly, brutally possible. Will you let it get under your skin?
