Caught in Rain? Let Alex Pardee Give the Sky Nightmares!

Published

on

Three years ago, I was in Montreal for the Fantasia Film Festival. One day as I was walking towards a theater, the sky opened up and nothing shy of a torrential downpour engulfed everyone. Ducking into a small shop to escape the deluge, I bought an umbrella that has been a part of my travel kit ever since. Small, compact, and effective, I don’t really need much more.

But goddammit, Pluvio Umbrella is really tempting me with their “Nightmare” umbrella, which features artwork by the extremely talented and ever inventive artist Alex Pardee. The artwork, which admittedly is on the top of the umbrella so not very many people will see it unless they’re taller or on higher ground, is nothing short of gorgeous. Pardee has created a stunning nightmare that is as hypnotic as it is spine-tingling. It’s basically a great way to tell they sky, “You don’t scare me! I’m here to scare you!

Check out the photos below and then, if you want one, you can order yours through Pluvio directly.

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
