The film was released on the 7th of October 2016 in New York City. The film stars Ty Hickson as "Sean" and Amari Cheatom as "Cortez". The film was produced by Oscilloscope Laboratories and by producers Andrew D. Corkin, Bryan Reisberg and Ashley Young.[1] "Sean" is an outcast who isolates himself from society to practice alchemy, accompanied by only his cat. As his mental condition deteriorates the line of what is real and what is not becomes blurred, and as his chemistry turns to black magic, he instead summons a demon.[1] The film breaks the conventional boundaries of genre, as elements of a black comedy, horror and a psychological thriller are all incorporated and intertwined.[2] The Alchemist cookbook was released on an alternate release strategy, as a pay what you want film, in both theatres and on BitTorrent bundle.[2] The film was an official selection at the 2016 South by Southwest Film Festival.[1]”  NEXT WEEK: Don’t Deliver Us From Evil (1972) Website: http://www.bloodhauspod.com  Twitter: https://twitter.com/BloodhausPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/ Email: bloodhauspod@gmail.com         Drusilla's art: https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/  Drusilla's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydesister/  Drusilla's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/drew_phillips/         Joshua's website: https://www.joshuaconkel.com/  Joshua's Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoshuaConkel   Joshua's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/  Joshua's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/joshuaconkel
