We were living for a while in San Francisco, in a neighborhood that was encased in fog for 25 - 100% of each day. The apartment building had a little shared back yard that we adopted. We pulled all the weeds and dropped cuttings of succulents into the sandy soil. By the time we left we had a...
Looks like some similar beats to the book House of Leaves as well. I think the genre of liminal horror is really interesting. It will be interesting to see how it translates to the big screen.

If you want something you like more than stock art, hire an artist to create it. You can even give them feedback to iterate on the art so it's even more to your liking. Or you could create the art yourself!
Or you could use AI and choose to not sell your work on Foundry or other sites that...
