Dead Stuff With Big Teeth’s Art Direction: For our new erotic historical fantasy…what does the name “Dark Enchantment” suggest to you? Purple… and… pointy! EXACTLY! So fetch us a shot of Brad, with a lightbulb pressed up against his face, and purple it up. Oh, and add a mansion under the lightbulb. Preferably that one where the lighting is coming head-on.
