Synopsis:
Violence and paranoia erupt in the basement of a United States Homeland Security office as something ancient and malignant begins to stir behind the walls. Two trapped agents and their guests are forced to battle with a new kind of terror.

Top of PageElectra: An American Gothic
Synopsis:
This Greek tragedy is thrust into a landscape of deep-seated rivalry and war amidst the hillfolk of the Appalachian Mountains. Blinded by hatred and driven by her need for vengeance, the spirited Electra reveals how destructive one can be when pride is the only thing they have left. This fast paced 60 minute tragedy, written by David Skeele, directed by Gordon Phetteplace, and underscored by live Americana folk music, serves as a solemn reminder about the evils of revenge and the power of a vow.

Synopsis:
Prepare to be scared out of your wits. Loosely based on the true story of The Philip Experiment in 1970s Toronto, David Skeele's The Margins tracks five paranormal investigators and one skeptical reporter as they visit a haunted manor. The team sets out to create and raise a spirit as a psychic experiment, one which ultimately spirals horribly out of control.
