The LOVE & HELL TUNNELS

Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1994. Five teenagers—Kyle, 40 Ounce, Shadow, Raven, and King—step into the twin drainage tunnels marked **LOVE & HELL** to find their missing friend, Lolita. All Kyle found left of her was a shining anklet. Special Agent Maggie Andez is assigned to investigate, but beneath the ordinary American suburbs, midnight exists while the sun still shines—and the things lurking in the dark already know your name.

​Underground, the Marker grows to an impossible height, using telepathy to lock eyes with his prey. Hold his gaze for more than a few seconds, and you slip into a fatal trance. The only escape requires an ally to shake you loose while both of you are bathed in bright sunlight. The Marker judges humanity on soul merits; there must be more good in you than bad, but many live dangerously close to that thin line. Once marked, the nightmare escalates as the Howlers are unleashed to hunt down the condemned.

​*The LOVE & HELL Tunnels* is a grounded, atmospheric coming-of-age nightmare based on true events. Five entered; only one came back out. The human characters are fictionalized, but the terrifying creatures and the tunnels were shockingly real—a local Tulsa legend turned real-life horror. When the survivors escaped and tried warning the police, begging them to call in the military, their sightings were dismissed as drug-fueled hallucinations.

​Decades later, the physical tunnels have vanished, transformed by time, but the trauma remains. Created as a multimedia project intended for film adaptation, this story captures genuine terror for horror fans who haven't been truly scared in years. It stands as a chilling warning: live as pure a soul as you can, because the creatures beneath the surface are real, and they are still judging.

Every decade, the missing vanish without a trace. Every decade, the nightmare resets. But for Kyle, the horror isn't just a pattern—it’s personal.

After emerging from the Tunnels to find three months have passed on the surface in the blink of an eye, Kyle discovers his four closest friends and his aunt are gone, trapped in the subterranean abyss. Worse, the Tunnels' entities are bleeding onto the streets, and time is rapidly running out before the Howler’s hibernation cycle ends.

Joined by Tyrell—a marked street scout fighting for his own family—and Leila, a Special Forces operative with access to dark news archives, Kyle forms an unlikely coalition to uncover the Tunnels' hidden rules. To rescue those he loves, he must decode the mystery behind who the Tunnels target, master the secret to killing the beasts, and audit his own soul.

In a race against time on the surface, giving up isn't an option. Going harder is the only way out.

LOVE Protects. HELL Hunts. The TUNNELS Choose.
