First Spacewalk

By Scott Miller

This short film captures humanity’s first venture beyond the confines of a space capsule while in orbit. The now digitized archival footage of Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov’s 1965 spacewalk is Set to Ray Lynch’s ethereal composition “The Oh of Pleasure.”

The film combined with the music merges historical awe with a meditative rhythm, each note aligning with Leonov’s weightless movements in and out of the frame. The synthesis of sound paired with the grainy footage evoke both the isolation and transcendence of drifting in the void, transforming a monumental moment in human history into an intimate reflection on courage and the wonder of space exploration.

Creepshow by iH8

By Oscar Diaz

iH8 arrives at the infamous Haunted Hill House in Mineral Wells to have their tarot cards read. As they enter, a sinister tarot reader greets them and draws their fate. Her laughter echoes as the band performs in the eerie Carousel Room, haunted by her presence.

One by one, she and her demonic companion lure each member into separate rooms, trapping them and forcing them to play until madness consumes them. Each falls to her influence, ending their lives. The singer, seemingly the last survivor, succumbs to hanging as the tarot reader dances beneath his lifeless body, triumphant.

For more information about the project and the band, visit the iH8 Facebook page.
