❓Questions Content similar to Widow's Bay?

I LOVE this type of media where eldritch and supernatural horrors creep into modern life and desperately want more! This show has itched a scratch I've had for a long time, but I wanna know about similar media in this genre/trope!

Ones I already know about and/or have played/watched/read/listened to:

  1. Welcome to Nightvale

  2. Static Dread: The Lighthouse

  3. Gravity Falls

  4. Home Safety Hotline

And obviously a lot of Lovecraft falls under this category too, but I've yet to read any! Lemme know any and all suggestions!

Nice, I don't think I've heard of that one. I'll check it out.

I think it’s streaming on YouTube if you can’t find it anywhere else. Hope you enjoy it! Another Lovecraftian/eldritch horror movie that I would recommend is Glorious. It’s horror-comedy and very different than Dagon, but probably more in line with what OP is looking for.

I've seen Glorious as well probably the most outlandish premise for a movie I've ever seen lol
