Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! We are proud to announce that in collaboration with our brilliant volunteers, we are releasing a fascinating series of spooky informational graphics focused on Creatures of the Deep. Today’s graphic focuses on Anglerfish, broadly speaking. We thank volunteer Micah for assisting in designing & researching the text for today’s card! Deep-Sea Anglerfish belong to the frightening Lophiiformes order. They live in the midnight zone, so they are acclimated to face any difficulties in this harsh zone! Their color is perfect for blending in with the pitch-black environment. Infamously, they use bioluminescence to take advantage of the dark to attract prey. But what people often don't know is that the relationship between male and female deep-sea anglerfish is as strange as it gets! The males are technically parasitic, relying completely on the females for survival. They are much smaller than the females, and do not have the iconic glowing lure to entice their prey. The male will search through deep water for a female before attaching with sharp, hook-like teeth. After this, they stay for life, gradually fusing with the females over time. He fuses almost like Cell in Dragon Ball Z! This is called sexual parasitism. But since the male fertilizes the female's eggs, the relationship is sometimes called mutualism instead of parasitism. The male, in essence, becomes a part of the female, losing his sight and sucking nutrition from the female for the rest of his life. Recently, a female was found with eight males on her, so not only are these fish frightening to look at, their reproduction is just as spooky!

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! Recently, our head writer interviewed the incredible Oceanic Horror Producer, & Creator of The Mirror Without Image, Rapport Erebus! Rapport Erebus is a French analog horror producer best known for his web series Rapport Erebus, & The Mirror Without Image. The eponymous series Rapport Erebus focuses on a mysterious massive blue hole opening in the middle of the Pacific, leading to scientists discovering a behemoth of mythical proportions. His current series, The Mirror Without Image, focuses on a mysterious city underneath the Timor Sea, leading to the uncovering of a horrifying truth. In today’s interview, we sit down with Erebus to discuss his passion for the ocean, his analog horror journey, his creative process, his eponymous series Rapport Erebus, The Mirror Without Image, & his advice to aspiring oceanic horror storytellers. Before delving into today’s comprehensive 17-question interview, please note that everything said has been edited for clarity, & that the opinions of our interviewee do not necessarily reflect the opinions & values of our organization. With that being said, let us delve into the contents of the interview!

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! We are proud to announce that in collaboration with our brilliant volunteers, we are releasing a fascinating series of spooky informational graphics focused on Creatures of the Deep. Today’s graphic focuses on Oarfish. The oarfish has mythical and superstitious lore behind it, which makes its horrifying appearance not the only thing that makes it so striking! The oarfish (Regalecidae) is proof that aliens do exist on Earth! Individuals can reach a staggering 26 feet (with unconfirmed reports up to 56 feet) in length, which is roughly the length of a stretch limo. Similar to other spooky sea creatures, the oarfish feeds and lives in the mesopelagic zone, also known as the twilight zone. The oarfish floats up and down and uses its ribbon-like appearance to slip in and out secretly while swimming to capture prey. Due to living so far away from the shore, the oarfish is notoriously difficult to observe and study, and scientists are still answering questions about them. Alongside their oar-like appearance, which is believed to give them their name, they are also called the doomsday fish! Similar to how ravens are sometimes seen as an augury, historically, if oarfish were spotted, legend has it, natural disasters and cursed events were sure to follow. Despite having a reputation as a harbinger of doom, the oarfish is one of the coolest fish in the ocean and is a prime example of deep-sea gigantism. Instead of thinking that you stumbled upon a cursed fish, be fascinated by this freak of nature!
