- Bug: mobile menu scrolls sideways and drags the page with it
Fade hint added to the note. Thanks for testing on the commute.
- Presenting my stop motion short at a small regional festival in Utah this October
Love this. Keeping venue details out of the thread on purpose. If you are nearby and want to say hi, use DMs.
- Bug: mobile menu scrolls sideways and drags the page with it
Reproduced it. The menu scrolling sideways on narrow screens is on purpose, so every page stays reachable. The page itself shifting is not on purpose. Logged as a bug, and the longer translated labels…
- Bug: mobile menu scrolls sideways and drags the page with it
Thanks both. Could you tell me roughly which phone and browser? Nothing precise, 'small Android, default browser' is plenty.
- Page One Friday: share the opening line of your script (week 38)
Weekly thread. Post the first line (or first few lines) of a script you are working on. Your own writing only. Readers: one kind note and one useful note. Week 38 is open.
- Legacy sequel fatigue: real signal or just loud people online?
Friendly reminder since this thread will attract the franchise diehards: keep spoilers tagged for anything recent, and keep it about the films.
- Bringing the printed CRYPT Summary to a festival market table: tips?
Friendly reminder for anyone doing this: sharing the Summary is welcome, but please do not present yourself as official CRYPT staff at a table. Fans talking about it is the best promotion there is.
- The Digest view is perfect for my parents (appreciation post)
That is a nice one. Logged for the list after V1.0. The classic tickers already carry some of that signal, the work is in saying it plainly.
- Feature request: dark mode
Logged under 'already dark.' We did once try a light mode. Someone switched it on during a meeting and we all screamed, so it is filed somewhere after V1.0, possibly after the heat death of the univer…
- Countdown to V1.0: posting opens on Halloween 2026
The Crypt Lounge is exactly that. Blankets encouraged.
- $FNAF and young audiences: is this how a new generation enters horror?
Friendly reminder since this thread is about young fans: keep links and recommendations age appropriate. Thanks for keeping it kind.
- Introduce yourself: new members start here
Welcome, Quinn. Lurkers are the foundation of every haunted house.
- What Forum Moderators do (and what we never touch)
We remove unverified rumors about real productions and real people, and link to the guidelines. Talking about what the public signals show is fine. Speculating about someone's private business is not.
- Audience fatigue with jumpscare thumbnails: is the red arrow era ending?
Great discussion, everyone. Locking this one before someone makes a thumbnail of it with a red arrow pointing at the lock. Examples welcome in the Lounge.
- How does the International page count coproductions? (plus Translations feedback)
Both notes logged. We keep genre terms like 'slasher' and 'found footage' where the community uses them as loanwords, and translate the rest. The badge wrap is a known layout issue for longer language…
- How usernames and flair will work when posting opens
Once, on request, with a short cooldown. Your old posts carry the new name so threads stay readable.
- How usernames and flair will work when posting opens
A few people have asked, so here is how names will work when posting opens with V1.0. You pick a username once. It shows on every post, so choose something you would be happy to see next to a hot take…
- Community guidelines: be kind, tag spoilers, nothing here is financial advice
No expiry date in thread titles. Inside a thread that is clearly about the film, a week after wide release is a reasonable courtesy window, but tags cost nothing, so use them anyway.
- Community guidelines: be kind, tag spoilers, nothing here is financial advice
Short version of the house rules. They apply to every board, every thread, every hour of the night. 1. Be kind. Argue with ideas, not people. You can think a film is a mess without thinking its fans a…
- Welcome to the CRYPT forum preview (read this first)
Co-signing all of it. The Night Desk will keep the notices short and the lights low. If something here reads odd, that is the preview talking.
