WHEN THE SCREAMING STARTS

Aidan Mendle has a dream: he wants to be an infamous serial killer. When struggling journalist, Norman, is invited to follow Aidan on this journey, he believes he has finally landed his big break. But as Aidan and his newly recruited murder cult embark on a blood-soaked rampage, will Norman’s dream of becoming a renowned filmmaker turn into a nightmare?
