Greetings, my friends. I hope these past two weeks have been full of horror (the good kind) and you had a good time.
This is the third issue of the Horror Showcase Recap, and I’d like to thank each and every one of you that took the time to read the previous two issues and even tried to support the website with donations. I had no idea that running a website could be this costly and those donations help me a lot, at least until I find a more reasonable option. I now upload every single image and video directly to the system so it’ll require extra cloud space after a while. The reason I’m doing this is to archive everything after all. I can’t just copy Twitter links. What happens when Twitter disappears one day? I don’t want to lose any of this and I don’t make a single dime out of horrorvisuals, which I know, is crazy in this age of hustlers. So, if you’d like to chip in, you can do so with this link here.
Also, I’m trying to find new ways to optimize the time I spend on these articles since I really don’t want them to eat my whole weekend. So in this article, I will skip adding links to the original tweets in the thread. I saw that not many people click on them. If you are curious, the link to the thread is below anyway.
Without further ado, let’s begin and see what horrors await in the latest Horror Showcase thread. As always, I won’t be able to include everything so please, go check the thread for more.
