K: "Hey, I can feel you shaking. Are you alright?"

C: "Y-Yeah... I'm fine with the first Friday the 13th movie, but it's the sequels that creep me out."

K: "For real? I never figured eldritch horrors from beyond the void would have a weakness for campy 80s slasher films!"

C: "Not just any slasher films! The ones with Jason in them."

K: "Jason Voorhees? He's just a guy in a hockey mask."

C: "He's an immortal psychopath that keeps coming back to life! And his name is JASON!"

K: "...am I missing something here?"

C: "Have you ever heard the tale of Jason and the Argonauts? The Greek hero who sailed in search of the golden fleece?"

K: "Once or twice..."

C: "Well... what sort of creature do you think they had to skin to create the fleece in the first place?"

K: "Oh damn! I never made that connection before. Are you okay to keep watching?"

C: "I will be... just don't mind me if I cling to you a little tighter during certain parts."

K: "Heh. You can squeeze me as much as you like."

Late night movie marathons with the members of your cult are every bit as important as performing profane rituals! At least, according to Canthus. As the supervillain thief Kyle's corruption advances, he finds himself spending more and more time with his eldritch benefactor. Discovering that even spawn of horrors from beyond the stars can still find certain movies scary... particularly when it involves flashbacks to bloody and brutal ancient myths in which they took part.

This fantastic piece was done courtesy of  Carduelis, and it was a pleasure to work with them again! They did a wonderful job with Canthus' more updated design and captured just the feeling I was looking for in this more wholesome scene. It was also fun to revisit the superhero/supervillain narrative of  starlightwyvern and his various characters. ^^
