Onyx the Fortuitous has done some truly terrifying things as host of Welcome to the Shadow Zone, but now he has committed an act so horrible, so unthinkable, so demonic, it must have rattled Satan himself: he teamed up with his mom’s boyfriend Todd.
In the (surprisingly bloody) fifth episode of season one, Onyx and Todd worked together to enact some much needed revenge on a shared enemy. But as a master of the macabre, Onyx also had much more to offer from his dark corner/garage: a very special version of “Truth Teller,” an interview with Kurt Cooper—the creator of the mega-hit game Turd Boi, and an installment of “Lord of the Strings,” where he talked to the anonymous ghoul “Phil” from the band Ghost. (And because one show for him isn’t enough, Onyx also appeared as a contestant on Never Been Smooched! Although that could have gone better for him.)
Members of our interactive online Alpha community know Welcome to the Shadow Zone is one of many great series we host on the platform. But in honor of this most wonderfully haunting time of the year, we’re releasing an episode from Onyx’s show every Monday throughout October here at Nerdist.
Check out the first three episodes here, and the fourth installment here. If you can’t wait ’til Monday for the next episode and want to see the rest of season one right now, join Alpha now. Your first 30 days are free, and you’ll be the first to see season two when it premieres.
