Origins

HORRID originated as a way to use darkness to fuel creation through the curation of HORRID Magazine. HORRID has since grown into a death-positive brand that focuses on horror & witchcraft.

HORRID is Denver's Horror Shop: featuring a variety of art & gifts from local dark artists & creators.

The Magazine

HORRID magazine creates a platform to promote dark artists from around the globe, featuring 20-25 artists in each quarterly issue. In 2023 HORRID Magazine transformed into an annual art book releasing on October 13th.

Lead Designer

Jake is a designer and musician based in Denver, Colorado. His DIY design style is inspired by science fiction and death metal. His work is often existential in nature, exploring questions of existence and purpose. His design aesthetic is inspired by the dark places, basements, and dungeons he inhabits. Truly a creature of the night, his creative vision for HORRID is a monolith of unknown origins.
