The BLACK ALBUM · A Hollywood Horror Story

“Five members who could not be tamed, sold their souls for fortune and fame, formed their spell circle in Satan’s name, in the pit of Hell they burn by flame.”

BASED ON TRUE EVENTS.

The story about the making of a movie about an urban legend, that is in turn becoming an urban legend.

A film believed to be cursed.

The scariest movie you’ll never see.

This is the dark adventure of guerrilla filmmaker J.D. Loveless and his starlet Charlotte Rae, two people plagued by disturbing occurrences while making a micro-budget horror movie in the Arrowhead mountains based on the local urban legend of Mathaluh, a small town seventies rock band believed to have released a bootleg record laced with backwards Satanic lyrics. It was rumored that the bandmates had sacrificed a young runaway girl to cement their pact with the Devil, all so they could achieve fortune and fame. But before that could happen, all the band members died in a mysterious blaze. Instead of fame, they got infamy. Legend has it, if you found a copy of this lost record and played it backwards, you would resurrect the damned soul of Jeremy Jared, lead singer of Mathaluh, whose voice they say resonates throughout the bowels of the burning kingdom itself. Jeremy Jared, the front man eternal. The demon Jeremy. An entity glimpsed only in shadows, mirrors, fog, or nightmares. But once you resurrect him, there’s Hell to pay.
