who is -k.
I am the online horror creator and digital storyteller most commonly known for creating the horror webseries "hiimmarymary." I am also the pseudonymous alter-ego of a nerdy multimedia professional.I tell stories not only to move and entertain an audience but also as a method of personal catharsis. Through horror, I can examine the darkness and fear that lurks within us all. I have a fascination with the macabre and grotesque imagery and the many ways it can be used in art and storytelling. In truth, I am a mischievous trickster who rejoices when she's made her audience scream, laugh, or cry (or all three, somehow. I'll get there).hiimmarymary is finished, but I am currently in the scriptwriting stages of a new webseries titled Sunken: The Last Diary of Charlotte Eve. It is an ambitious, violently personal project, larger than anything I've ever made, but when I sink my teeth into something creatively, I'm not apt to let go of it easily. I intend to see it through to its completion.
hiimmarymary is the found footage web project I began in July 2016 and completed in May 2020, consisting of a YouTube channel with 19 episodes (and one livestream!), an in-character Blogspot account, and an in-character Twitter account. The series is a psychological horror piece featuring “Mary,” a young woman who awakens to find herself locked in a house with no memory. As soon as night falls in the home she is tormented by a series of malicious entities, and she is forced to learn to adapt and survive in a world she can barely understand.It was written as a reflection on the ways in which we cope with our mental health struggles and how we learn to live with “our monsters.” As of January 2021, hiimmarymary has amassed 100k+ YouTube subscribers, and it has been covered and analyzed by popular YouTubers, including Film Theory, Loey Lane, Nexpo, Nightmind, Inside a Mind, among others.
"k-stuff" functions as my personal channel apart from hiimmarymary. On it, I've posted HIMM behind-the-scenes material, including a Q+A, a blooper reel, and FX breakdowns, standalone creative oneshots, and information and updates about my next big project: Sunken: The Last Diary of Charlotte Eve. Any new work from me will be hosted on this channel.
Sunken is my current Big Project. Any related update videos about it will be put in this Youtube playlist.
