Murder Boy

Project Notes

What It Is

A 72-minute psychological horror film disguised as an instructional tape created by a cult leader. Murder Boy follows a collapsing love triangle between Montey, Celo, and Kelsey as the mysterious Margaret Wellington manipulates events through ritual, emotional control, and psychological warfare. What begins as cheating and jealousy slowly reveals something far older and more sinister.

Universe

Set inside the expanding VCR Willie world, where ordinary Los Angeles locations hide strange forces, cult influence, and analog-era evil. Murder Boy blends relationship drama, occult control, and urban nightmare energy into the same world connected to a broader physical media horror catalog.

Why It Matters

Murder Boy takes small personal pain — cheating, insecurity, jealousy — and treats it like the beginning of the apocalypse. It turns emotional weakness into ritual power and asks how easily love can become possession.

It is the cornerstone to being able to save the world.
