Rpg Maker Horror Games

[Desiderato Chouinard]

RVA Magazine will be premiering the pilot episode of our series Robot Apocalypse Episode One: The Super Squad in three offerings August 8, 15 and 22. (Yeah we got Mondays, because Mondays are horror-able too, right?)

It is also an incredible example of different worlds colliding in the best possible way to make a truly independent film. The sum of many different parts, over two hundred people worked on this pilot in some way or other. Everyone involved, from a variety of backgrounds, ages and genders were deeply committed to not only making a great project, but making this project great.

Monica Moehring: Who is your favorite Monster from the Universal Monster Movies? [which includes Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Wolfman, The Creature from the Black Lagoon and in some circles, The Invisible Man]

MR: In Fangoria Magazine. Seeing the photographs and not understanding them. I knew the imagery before the music. I thought it was video art? I liked the album Scumdogs of the Universe in high school, but it was always more about the art. It was Slymenstra Hymen and Oderus doing Headbangers Ball, being gross and funny.

This question and answer session with Robert Beatty was conducted after the presentation of his experimental animation showcase at the Byrd Theater during the 2nd Richmond Animation Festival on Sunday night back in April. Filmmaker Dash Shaw moderated the event while...

Mark your calendars (or draw it on your leg?), but come October 18th, you should be in for Richmond at the Midlothian Doubletree Hotel for the 36th annual Richmond Tattoo and Arts Convention. Richmond had been ground zero for the explosion of interest in tattoo...

The energy from The Garage open house, held a few weeks ago. Nestled on the edge of Scott's Addition, this community hub thrives as a creative space for performance and production. Captured moments by Mike Avey showcase the dynamic atmosphere and artistic spirit.

So, I finally got to see one of my favorite plays of all time (and the subject of a thesis I wrote in another lifetime), Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe at Agecroft Hall, staged by the crown jewel of Richmond Summer Stock companies, Richmond Shakespeare. I say...

Richmond has always been a literary city. We follow the bootprints of beatnik ghosts around Shockoe Bottom, laying our claims to Poe. We have a history with Tom Robbins, and gave birth to Tom Wolfe and Margaret Gibson. A legacy of letters flows through this town as...

I wanted to give a bit of context for this piece. I was introduced to Bill one afternoon at the local watering hole by a mutual friend. Bill, a talented and experienced writer, shared some of his work with me, and I was interested to read more. When I asked if he had...

Recently, the All City Art Club worked with the city to create artwork for the parking lot in Carytown near the Byrd Theatre. This evolved into a full-fledged street art festival dubbed "Parking Lot Pieces," spanning several days and featuring some of the best street...

He works at the toy-store, seemingly as its proprietor, where he creates and sells his toys for all children to enjoy. Beneath his friendly, eccentric exterior, however, lies a dark and cruel man who craves nothing more than perfection.

The Toymaker - at first glance - seems to be a well-mannered individual who wishes to bring happiness to all his clients. However, he's actually an aggressive store-owner hellbent on his own success through fame and fortune via his products.

This personality change is seen when interacting with Andrew, Markus and Banzo more as each progression to making the "perfect" toy occurs (as his desperation for the perfect product becomes more apparent).

As well as this, it's also worth noting The Toymaker's drastic tone differences when interacting with certain characters. When confronting Andrew and Markus, he'll usually remain quite upbeat and positive unless provoked by unwanted questions/reactions from the boys. However, with this demonic entity, he becomes paranoid and full of despair (presumably due to his off-screen conversations with said entity).

The Toymaker has quite a unique appearance in comparison to the majority of Harmony & Horror characters (excluding Banzo). He's seen wearing a spot-covered top with stripped sleeves, checkered trousers and black shoes (without laces or velcro).

He also has a square-shaped head with his face pertruding out from one of the faces. In terms of his facial features, The Toymaker has small but sharp eyebrows, piercing black eyes, blushed cheeks, ruby lips and a yellow triangular nose. His "skin" is pale white along with his hands also being constructed similar to that of gloves/mittens by the fused combination of his digits (excluding his thumbs). There is a top-hat upon his head.

When he becomes angered/frustrated, there will usually be a pentagram in the centre of his forehead, his sclera will be tinted yellow and he'll often showcase an entire set of teeth (unlike Andrew and Markus who each only have either one or two visible). The Toymaker's left hand will also have long, sharp fingers instead of its common glove-like appearance. There are strange stains on his face from his eyes streaming down his face, indicating possible tears from his supposed failure.

In the Are_Y0u_HappY? video, Andrew is seen entering the scene with Banzo awaking Markus from his dream. Markus isn't impressed by the awakening, talking briefly about what he had been dreaming about whilst gradually turning to the camera. Before he can finish, Andrew interrupts him yet again with "That's ridiculous Markus, you should be thinking about the perfect toy to ask The Toymaker to make". Markus brushes off the interruption, asking Andrew if The Toymaker is in town to which he responds with excitement that he is.

The boys - along with Banzo - venture off to visit The Toymaker. However, both of them are unable to find The Toymaker when arriving at a beige building. At this moment, Andrew and Markus turn their heads towards the camera yet again asking the audience "Do you see The Toymaker?" which may have prompted a younger audience to interact and state his location just a few steps west from them. In the scene, you can see replicas of The Baby Doll, Jack-In-The-Boxes featuring the Jester and a newspaper article discussing about Martin Greywhinder being pronounced a fraud (which The Toymaker is reading).

When encountering The Toymaker, Markus and Andrew ask him if he can create the perfect toy for the pair of them. He then goes off into a short narrative about how his toys are able to blink, walk, eat and talk. But, The Toymaker is incapable of making toys seem "life-like" by making them see, dance, taste and sing, causing his downfall in production. During this scene, some speculate that The Toymaker uses emotional manipulation through self-pity to guilt-trip the boys into helping him create the "perfect toy" (which proved to be successful when they offer).

As Markus asks if there is anything they could do to assist him, the screen dims rapidly as The Toymaker's mouth finally moves with a low and somewhat distorted voice stating "Why yes there is...".

The Toymaker quickly announces in his calmer voice the "four main ingredients": a needle with thread, fabric with paint - later revealed - Banzo and their voice. Markus tries to interrupt him declaring the boys don't have money to which The Toymaker responses "Don't you want to be happy?" in the same distorted voice as before. The staring and awkward silence repeats again before the camera cuts to The Toymaker listing off the ingredients.

Eventually, Andrew and Markus leave to find the first ingredients: the needle and thread. They soon spot a line of red thread leading underneath the bridge which they follow to discover a closed-up bag. Upon opening it from curiosity, they find a corpse but quickly brush this off when also finding a needle alongside the body. They return back to the The Toymaker who informs them their next ingredient is fabric and paint.

Whilst it is not shown, both boys seemingly find the fabric and paint as the next scene involving them includes Andrew announcing they found the paint only to be interrupted by The Toymaker proclaiming his praise over their determination. This is when they ask what is the third ingredient to which The Toymaker says enthusiastically "The next thing I need is your dog!".

At this comment, Andrew is visibly confused and anxious about allowing The Toymaker to have Banzo. He attempts to ask him why he would need Banzo to be answered with "The toy needs to be happy, and it can't be happy without a friend". Markus jumps in trying to question the choice only for The Toymaker to almost repeat his line from before with "Don't you want it to be happy?" in - yet again - the distorted voice.

As a result from the harsh response to their questions, Markus forces Andrew to push aside his doubts and give him Banzo as to "not be square". The scene abruptly fades to another segment involving Henry before fading back to the cartoon.

Andrew and Markus return to The Toymaker, all eager to see the final product. But, he declares the forth and final ingredient is their voice via singing. Just when the boys are able to repeat after him, a loud emergency siren is heard as a warning appears reading:

"Warning - The following audio recording is an unauthorized release of private footage. For your safety we ask that you please discard the tape immediately. If there is any audio from the original footage, please cover your ears and close your eyes."

Until the warning disappears, Banzo's monstrous form can be seen gradually being zoomed in from the center of the warning. Once this ends, The Toymaker prepares the children to witness the creation on the other side of the door. He states with distortion "I really do hope you enjoy it" with the camera tinted red as - presumably - both Andrew and Markus scream in horror at what was done to Banzo.
