NSFW: Behold the Gruesome and Stunning Art of Sarah Sitkin
Art is a truly subjective medium when it comes to appreciation. There are people who like the sublime use of color from artists like Monet or Klimt. Others appreciate the weirdness and surrealism of Dali and Ernst. And still some others go down the route of darkness, where pain and beauty mix into something grotesque and fascinating. It is in this world that Los Angeles sculptor Sarah Sitkin resides, a world that would be right at home with Clive Barker’s cenobites
Her bio is incredibly simple, allowing her work to speak for her: “Sarah Sitkin is a Los Angeles based artist. Her sculptural works are made in wide variety of media including but not limited to silicone, clay, plaster, resin,and latex.”
When reading that bio, it’s easy to be caught completely unprepared as to what you’re about to witness. After all, the benign and almost innocent description does nothing to ready viewers for the macabre work she creates. It’s haunting and it’s fantastic. However, be warned that it’s absolutely NSFW, so view this at your own discretion!

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
