About this episode

This episode explores the themes of the new analog horror series Alta Paradisus and questions the existence of monsters in the ocean and above sea level.

Alta Paradisus is a brand new analog horror series that takes place in the depths of the ocean. In today’s episode, I want to figure out what’s REALLY hiding underneath the surface. Is there really a monster down there that can kill THOUSANDS of people? Or is the real monster above seal level?
