Written, directed, produced, and created by Motzie Dapul and co-created by Reg Geli. This episode is Episode 01 - Bulok, introduced by H.R. Owen

These terrifying tales will have elements of queer horror, love, and dark romance, as well as visceral body horror, supernatural terror, and unsettling, creeping dread from the darkest (and most creative) Filipino minds. Follow the project on Kickstarter to learn more and be notified when the campaign goes live in October.
