portrayed by Steph Twyford-Rigley
Cryptina’s first appearance was in Cryptina's Spook-Time
Variety Show (2017), a horror anthology show written
+ directed by Ryan, starring + edited by Steph.
Cryptina made a return in 2020, this time co-written,
co-directed, set designed, shot, starring +
edited by Steph when an outside invester requested four
Cryptina-hosted feature length anthology episodes.
All of the short films in the second installment of
"Hosted by Cryptina" were curated entirely by Steph + Ryan.
All of the host segments were shot on a set Steph
designed in their living room during the 2020 lockdown.
Cryptina is an aspiring and often awkward mistress of the dark...
She introduces each film within her horror-comedy anthology series with the unwanted help of her ex-boyfriend Ghoulsby, a vampire cursed to be permanently stuck in the form of a bat.
So far, Cryptina has a pilot and 4 feature length episodes with hopes of becoming a full series on platforms like Adult Swim.
The pilot was incredibly well- received and awarded!
Most notably, they received an award from today's biggest horror host, Joe-Bob Briggs of Joe Bob's Last Drive-In.
