The terrifying heavens inside the box

"How come these gods in the cabin in the woods also have cultural attributes? American blood and apocalyptic style, island nation rules and strange tales, and Eastern folk customs."

Wang Hao muttered to himself as he casually placed the severed arm of "Destruction" and the heart of "Slaughter" onto the worktable.

He opened the laptop next to him, created a document on the desktop, and wrote down all his guesses.

Looking at these contents, Wang Hao suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"Wait a minute! Isn't this just a ready-made background world setting?"

He muttered to himself, pondered for a moment, then exited the document and re-edited the document's title.

"Should we call it the Terrifying Universe? Or should we call it the Multiverse?"

"Or rather... the terrifying heavens?"

After hesitating for a while, Wang Hao picked up his phone and searched for a while.

after awhile.

His eyes lit up, he put down his phone, and finally typed "Terrifying Heavens" as the document title.

To be honest, Wang Hao was initially concerned that the "horror" genre might be too niche.

So he searched online and made an unexpected discovery.

In this era where major IPs are losing popularity and gradually fading away.

Horror IPs seem to be showing some signs of recovery?

First, in Hollywood, various horror movies were released in droves, especially classic horror movie series that were constantly being rebooted.

Domestically, various folklore, mild horror, and rule-based ghost stories games and videos frequently become hits, seemingly with a small market size, mostly concentrated in small circles.

But if all these subgenres were categorized under the broad theme of "horror," the scale would be quite large!

He no longer hesitated.

Decided!

The IP "Terror of the Heavens" has potential!

Not to mention, the worlds that are now appearing in the box are all of this type.

At worst, they can incorporate some science fiction and fantasy elements to create a pan-horror IP, thereby mitigating the risks associated with the subject matter.

The right timing, the right location, the right people... everything's perfect!

However, amidst his excitement, Wang Hao's rationality quickly prevailed.

"But how exactly do we obtain the IP address for this terrifying universe?"

He first set his learning goal on the successful case of Marvel.

"First, create a large number of individual success stories, and then connect them with the same worldview."

"It looks simple, but it's actually difficult to do! The key is to lay the groundwork properly."

As Wang Hao pondered, his gaze returned to the box, and his thoughts shifted, shifting from the "Abyss" scene in the misty world back to the world of the cabin in the woods.

Kurt was asleep in the hospital bed with his eyes closed, with Jules by his side, while the other three stayed outside the room smoking and chatting.

Seeing that there wasn't much to see here, he shifted his gaze from the box to the two main characters, Nancy and Glenn...

……

The world of cabins in the woods.

After several days of quarantine and testing, Nancy and the others were finally settled in a town.

This place was originally just an ordinary small town with a small population but relatively abundant resources.

Long ago, after the sacrifice failed and the evil god of "destruction" descended, a monster that had been contained by the sacrifice organization accidentally wandered here...

By the time Kurt and his group arrived, there were almost no survivors left in the town.

After containing the monster, the Bureau of Alien Affairs redeveloped the town as a temporary accommodation for visitors from other worlds, and it was not open to the public.

As Nancy and Glenn led a group of children out of the car, they noticed that there were heavily armed guards in black patrolling everywhere outside the town.

Hey! Where are you from?

A middle-aged man walked over with a smile and greeted them.

"America?" Glenn shrugged.

"America?" The other person laughed. "Almost everyone here is from America."

"What world are you from? Or rather, what year?"

Nancy immediately realized that this middle-aged man was also a visitor from another world, and promptly explained, "Uh, 1984, Springwood, Elm... Ohio."

"Oh, Ohio? That's really far."

After sighing, the middle-aged man introduced himself: "I'm from Maine in 2007. They seem to call our world the Mist World."

"Oh, right! My name is David Drayton. I used to be an artist, but now I'm the town's guide. So, let me take you to get your ID cards..."

"Wait! David Drayton! You're the guy Kurt was talking about?"

Nancy paused, staring at him with wide eyes.

"Oh! Kurt? You've met him? He's an incredible guy."

David never expected that these young people would hear his name from Kurt.

Nancy and Glenn also took the opportunity to tell each other their names, as well as the names of their children...

As they talked, the group arrived at the town's central office, completed their registration, and received their ID cards.

David then led them to a street.

As they reached the corner of the street, he pointed to a building not far away and said, "This is the town's food supermarket. You can pick up your basic necessities here from now on. Remember to bring your ID card."

At that moment, a short man wearing glasses and a red apron walked out of the supermarket.

"Hey David, another new guy here today?"

"Olive, let me introduce you. This is Nancy Thompson, Glenn Lantz, and these kids are... This is Oliver, he's also the supermarket manager."

When the manager was mentioned, both of them smiled knowingly.

With David's guidance, Nancy, Glenn, and the others were finally able to explore the town's infrastructure.

Finally, they also encountered the Sandin family.

"Glenn, I'm sorry, I didn't know either..."

When James came over to apologize, Glenn waved his hand, knowing it wasn't James' fault.

Looking at the people from the other two worlds, Nancy finally couldn't hold back and asked them:

"Haven't you considered... leaving? I mean going home?"

David Drayton glanced around, then looked at her. "Now that we're here, leaving won't be so easy."

Glenn, thinking of his home on Elm Street, wondered, "Why? Why don't they want us to leave?"

James Sandin replied calmly, "To avoid leaks."

"Can you imagine what would happen if both worlds knew that a passage had opened?"

"War...the Cold War?" Nancy tentatively replied.

James nodded: "YES! The possibility of a direct war is unlikely, but mutual invasions, espionage and assassinations, economic warfare and information warfare will only escalate into a new Cold War!"

David asked, "Why not cooperate?"

"Dude, even though we're all from America, things are completely different in every world."

Then James Sandin told them about his world's "Purge Day".

"Shit! Your world's NFFA is truly anti-human!"

"Is no one resisting?"

"Perhaps they exist, but we haven't seen them."

Upon hearing this, Nancy understood.

It seems that to return to Elm Street and see his family again, he will need the help of Kurt and others...

……

Wang Hao's attention was originally focused on the chatter of the little people in the box.

But suddenly, the scene inside the box started flashing again.

"Good grief, here we go again!"

"Let's see which god is causing trouble."
