ONE YEAR OF SCARYKNIT
Today marks one year from the launch of our limitless brand. As we look back on an incredible year of growth and establishment, we are grateful for your unwavering support. This blog article will discuss our past year and look towards the future.
OVERALL
Scaryknit is an online entertainment website featuring original productions. Since its foundation, at the core of Scaryknit was the drive to create a compelling community interested in supernatural and horror stories.
Being a newborn creature, Scarknit navigated the complexity of social media, trying to establish its own brand visual identity. The goal was to lay the groundwork for the future by releasing various original productions in different formats.
After one year, Scaryknit counts a community of more than 1.000 followers, six original productions, and thousands of views across all its platforms.
Scaryknit Originals’ first production is Spectre. Created by Alec Antonelli, Spectre follows John Hayworth, a lonely, depressed man plunging into the hidden reality of things leading him to confront his past and demons.
Scaryknit Originals’ Spectre is an original short, released on August 27, 2023, as a narrative built-in streaming video.
Arachnid is a black-and-white short feature created by Alec Antonelli. With Arachnid, Scaryknit wanted to bring to life its vintage vision, creating a compelling two-minute experience, that honors the old times. Released on November 21, 2023.
By manipulating a video published on the online marketplace Envato Elements, Scaryknit Originals was able to create a story that sticks to its extended universe.
Following the events of Scaryknit Originals’ Spectre, Coven of the Nightshadows introduces two factions of the magical world: The Nightshadows and The Entity. As this last keeps the Nightshadows trapped in Salem, it’s up to John Hayworth to intervene and change the course of actions within the magical world.

With the beginning of 2024, Scaryknit Originals releases on February 11, 2024, Eclipse, an original Valentine’s Day Special. Through a singular narrative built-in streaming video, Scaryknit Originals’ Eclipse features John Hayworth navigating into the complexity of old strongholds in search of The Obsidian Stone. Created by Alec Antonelli.
Along his path, he will make a lovely encounter set to change the course of actions.
After setting up multiple plot points, Scaryknit Originals releases a crossover event as a six-chapter narrative built-in streaming video: Evil Wars. The story follows John Hayworth and Evelyn Maddison attempting to defeat The Entity once and for all amidst the destructive Evil Wars. Created by Alec Antonelli.
Evil Wars sets up the future with numerous consequences followed the irreversible actions of John Hayworth. Released on April 21, 2024.
Following John Hayworth’s spell that trapped Namaah amidst the walls of The Wreckage of Time, new perils and evils that were stashed for good are now rising again. In the town of Kingsbour, Texas, The Child of Solitudes awakens The Great Mothers with an attempt to resurrect Nocturne, an evil dormant for centuries.
Scaryknit Originals’ Nocturne was released on June 21, 2024, as a short horror feature. Written and directed by Alec Antonelli. Additional voices include Ondrej Potočár as The Child of Solitude and Zaya Sabrina as The Great Mothers. Filmed in Correggio, Italy.
WHAT COMES NEXT
Scaryknit is committed to bringing new stories to life regularly. Our goal is to produce and release at least one original production per year.
Things will be slightly different in the 2024/25 schedule as Scaryknit is embracing new challenges for the future. With Nocturne we figured out how characters’ interaction is a pivotal element for our storylines, and how we lacked that in our previous productions. That is why we’re thrilled to announce we’re working on new formats that prioritize the building of powerful characters’ arcs.
On the following schedule, we will prioritize quality over quantity, by releasing less original productions.
With all being said, we’re thrilled to begin a new year with you, with the hope of growing and thriving together. Make sure to check our website constantly and follow us on social media (@scaryknit) for not missing the announcements we’ll be giving next weeks.
