It's time again for some SPOOOKY artwork! And we're gonna start off with one of my favorite themes - Analog horror!

A B/W sketch for https://www.furaffinity.net/user/celestialcall and https://www.furaffinity.net/user/enzofrost/

Deep in the woods a group of college kids rented out a cabin for a night of revelry and relaxation. A few beers and a bit of Truth or Dare later, one of them gets dared to go into the cabin's basement alone... what he discovers shocks the entire group.

A box of old tapes, labeled only with dates. The cabin came with an old CRT TV and VCR, relics from a bygone era and a far cry from the modern comforts of higher-tech living that these kids were used to. After an hour of figuring out how a VHS and VCR work (It's gotta be on channel 4!) they finally got to see what these tapes were all about.

It all seemed fine at first. Old footage of various trail-cameras. Hunters often set these up to study the habits of deer and other wildlife. Just a compilation of various critters doing whatever it is that critters do out in the wild. But one keen viewer noticed something in the background... a pair of large glowing eyes reflected by the infrared beam of one of the cameras.

The tapes dated back decades... Each October tape had some glimpse of this creature, sometimes just a pair of eyes, sometimes a bit more could be seen, but whatever it was, it was... big. The latest video, dated only a year ago, showed more of the beast, stalking an unsuspecting deer from behind a crooked tree. But the terror only started to creep in when one of them recognized the location... The group had passed this tree while hiking up to the cabin. Silence fell amongst them all as an unspoken question haunted their thoughts. Was this creature stalking them?
