Music and audio mastering by me aka James!! My favorite music cues for this episode are the ones I call "Alex's Degradation" and "Alex's Innocence". The "Degradation" theme first plays when Liz asks him if he's doing okay and he replies with "I'm not feeling well" and then adds a ton of Alex's signature brand of sarcasm as well. This is foreshadowing the later moments where I use the theme whenever his mind is not his own, like when Rae says "...he's just staring" and he's like "i'm fine". I knew from the get go that I wanted to use a mysterious flute melody to symbolize his degradation along with some atonal strings for tension. It came out great! The "Innocence" theme first plays when Alex snaps out of the trance in the hallway with Liz and he has no idea what happened. I wanted to do something tragic and melodic in a minor key to make it stand out strongly from the atonality of the Degradation theme, showing that no, he hasn't lost his mind. He's still in there, but he's suffering and might not have much time left. I use E flat minor and stuck to using strings and I think it came out epic! The final cue at the end that begins with Alex saying "I'm already dead" got me emotional when I was writing it. It's a combination of the Innocence theme and the "Bloody Mary" motif I've been using to symbolize Mary's killings and the monsters they become. I like to use the Mary motif whenever the zombies show up. You can hear it in it's original form when they find Dylan dead in episode 1, and it repeats when Liz opens the door and sees the group of zombies in the basement, plus it's also heard during chase sequences with the zombies. The final cue bumps the key of the Innocence theme from E flat up to E minor, making it sound more poignant, and then it transitions into the Bloody Mary motif when the zombie things break through the door and Mary collects yet another victim. I get chills every time i hear it. I love writing music for stories and I can't wait to work on episode 3!!
Damn. What an episode. This truly showed us that this building is so much more dangerous than the demon herself really upping the tension for this group. Plus, I don't know what's up with you and horror but somehow your original stuff has the most visceral and violent sound design like someone's getting mauled by animals like bears or lions like at the end when Alex died plus A LOT more praises I want to give after watching this. TL;DR, Great Episode👍. Love how the tension rose from the last episode upping the stakes of the group, and Alex's death was great and earned. Plus, the voice acting is great with the sound design being scary good.
I hope this could be more episodes on the after hour because I wanted to know what happens next or who that mysterious man was who took that kid and trapped him in amusement park
THIS TURNED OUT SO GOOD! Great work to everyone involved! Favorite moments: - 1st visual transition with Dylan's outline coming in first, and the music sting immediately following it - Escaped (Alex) delivering "I'm fine" and "I can't even feel it" PERFECTLY for the moment, and the line that starts with "look at me" - outstandingly creepy - Nathan (James) delivering "Please tell me it's not gonna take my soul!" with the perfect balance of fear and goofiness, and "...whatcha doin'?" - excellent comedic relief - EVERY time Stormy (Maizee) squeaks, and her delivering "I wanna go home" and "any luck so far" - just the most tender and raw emotion beautifully done - Riley (Liz) doing an amazing job walking the line between terrified and reassuring with every single line - The first time we hear the layered zombie noises - PHENOMENAL sound design. - The last transition fading another character out before the final panel
Eee thank you so much Melody!! I love hearing about peoples favorite moments and general reactions, and you did a fantastic job!! Thank you so much again for bring Rae to life, you’re doing a fantastic job!
ayyyee thanks homie!! The first music sting (rise and hit) was my way of bringing us back to the Asylum and I'm glad it stood out in a good way. The take my soul line was my favorite one from this episode for James and your observation about striking a fear/comedy balance is a good boost to the ol' confidence! The layered monster noises were a combination of Sythe, Riley and me!

I felt like my stomach was gonna make me feel a tad bit queasy at the end just hearing the dead eating him
I hope this could be more episodes on the after hour because I wanted to know what happens next or who that mysterious man was who took that kid and trapped him in amusement park
Why am I torturing myself I couldn’t even handle the first episode
