Ivan and his fellow watchmen are tasked to bust prostitutes, drug dealers, and murderers in one of Manila's darkest cemetery, at night. Here, hundreds of squatters live in improvised shacks on top of the tombs. Life is hard for both watchmen and illegal settlers but Ivan, a young culinary arts school dropout coming from a wealthy family of accountants, has a completely different struggle: to find a real place in the world, as a chef or as a watchman, committed to save his neighborhood, and his friends. Regardless the dangers, the murders, and ghost stories haunting their nights, Ivan and his fellows have strong feelings for the cemetery: from fear and repulsion to love and fascination. When a political turnover forces them to leave their uniforms, the watchmen are at risk to cross the thin line between being the law and being against it, and Ivan will be the only one to help them.

This documentary explores how death is perceived by group horror professionals and its influence on their work. Includes interviews and insights from Troma head honcho Lloyd Kaufman, Artist Bob Fingerman, Jack Ketchum, special effects artist Tom Sullivan (EVIL DEAD), and Scream Queens Debbie Rochon and Caroline Munro (DR. PHIBES, MANIAC), along with a host of many other others.

In the early 2010's, internet horror icon Slenderman became the centerpiece of a rapidly evolving artistic movement, forming what is known as 'The Slenderverse'. On the surface, the Slenderverse appeared to be a Marvel-style cinematic universe; an interconnected mythology of independent art projects. However, unbeknownst to the general public, creators congregated under the umbrella of the private 'Slenderverse Creators' community and formed an online artistic collective unlike any seen before at the time of its creation in 2011. "Slenderverse: An Artistic Movement" from director Alex Hera reveals the hidden stories of how Slenderman was developed into a viral icon by these creators. Through never-before-seen archival content, access to the private community, and interviews with Chris Hammarberg and Heather Mooch of "DarkHarvest00", Dylan Sindelar of "MLAndersen0", Marissa Botelho of "Tulpa Effect", Lee Esposito of "Whispered Faith", Valeria Santiago of "Stan Frederick", as well Tim Sutton of "Marble Hornets", Evan Jennings of "EverymanHYBRID" and internet horror influencer Night Mind, the truth about this artistic movement - as well as the lives and relationships of these creators - is unveiled for the first time. The second film of "Slenderverse: A Documentary Film Series", a three film series which tells the dramatic history of the independent artists behind the Slenderverse movement and documents Slenderman's rise as an independent horror icon, and fall to the status of a dangerous internet meme through interviews with 19 internet horror legends, extensive live action reenactments, and exclusive archival content.
