Finnish Cough Drop Ad

This is an ad for Zyx, a brand of cough drops sold in Finland and Sweden. You can see what’s going to happen a mile away, but it’s still amusing. It makes a strange kind of sense, since every time I listen to black metal singing, it makes my throat hurt. Just watching this on TV could sell a lot of cough drops!

Devil In The Room

Devil in the Room is a terrifyingly illustrated documentary about sleep paralysis. The phenomenon, in which awareness and nightmares collide, may explain legends of demons and visits from extraterrestrials. “It doesn’t matter if it’s real …because itfeels real.” And because of the paralysis, you can’t do anything about the situation, which adds another layer of terror.

Throughout summer 2012, two or three times a week, I would wake up unable to move, deeply afraid and convinced there was someone or something in the room with me. Sometimes I would see or hear people around the bed or feel cats padding over the blanket. One time I woke up and saw a giant spider hovering over me! This strange phenomenon is called sleep paralysis, and I decided to make a film about it. This experimental docu-horror was supported by a Wellcome Trust Arts Award and made as part of an MA in Animation at Royal College of Art. It is part of The Sleep Paralysis Project (thesleepparalysisproject.org). See the website for more information on the scientific and cultural background of sleep paralysis.
