Boogers of the Antichrist (2020)
This movie was to be as absurd as Antfarm Dickhole, but Bill Zebub’s research inspired new story ideas. This will still be an unusual tale, but it will be a bit deeper than planned. Then again, Bill Zebub usually adds deeper levels for those who want to explore. It might be safe to call this a spoof of occult horror. That was the original idea. It is more than a parody however.
