“The Terrible Treasures in Doom Castle”, is a 24 minute audio-visual mind warp combining the 8 bit graphics of 1980’s platform video games, with the razor’s edge physic terror of Zombie horror. It is a DIY homage to chip tunes and b-grade horror, combining sophisticated sound design with backyard acting in a post horror mash-up. This work presents a frightening and original vision of a real life video game environment. Each of its 9 scenes are points of convergence for a cultural collision, more of a train wreck than a mash-up. Loosely following the narrative of a doom-ridden anti-hero on a quest to fight the Evil Doctor Beardo, “The Terrible Treasures in Doom Castle” will stimulate your brains while feeding on them. It is a project that defies conventional categorization as it references a new aural and visual methodology. Please stop reading now and view our work at www.incrediblehexadecibels.com.

Collected visual fragments are brought to convergence in a new narrative form. These fragments are pirated from a number of sources- found and created. They include B-grade Japanese horror, DIY Zombie action, over-saturated 8 bit visuals from platform games, military training and archival war footage, space documentary, and early Svankmajer films. The result is a series of layered, energetic and twisted visual compositions, designed to warp your mind, rinse out your senses and confuse your emotional cortex. A reference point for the methodology we used to construct our visuals is the mentally challenging ‘Jawa’ style, pioneered in Canada by Tasman Richardson and the collective famefame. To this cultural blender we added homemade graphics and scripted a backyard action/thriller involving the anti-hero Major Creassault and his quest to save the world from Zombie domination.
