But Kane\u2019s story is unique. Since the age of 16, he\u2019s been constructing and participating in one of the internet\u2019s most obsessively dissected <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/horror\/\">horror<\/a> worlds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little did he know that three years later, esteemed studio <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/a24\/\">A24<\/a> would come knocking.
