The shift is open. Pour yourself something warm and dim the lights.

Tonight on an extended personal shift of Slightly Out of Frame, host Sylvana takes a deep dive into an unexplainable fixation carried since childhood: her lifelong love for Hollywood legend James Dean.

We travel from Dean's early life in Fairmount, Indiana, to the wind swept California crossroads in Cholame where his life was tragically cut short at twenty four on September 30, 1955. Sylvana shares her personal pilgrimage to the James Dean Memorial Junction, exploring the chilling urban legends surrounding the crash site, the phantom silver Porsche reported along Route 46, and the notorious string of fatal accidents attached to his cursed car, "The Little Bastard."

Most importantly, Sylvana connects the dots between this childhood fixation, her own unexplainable personal experiences, and how her entire creative engine her liminal photography, visual art and dark fiction writing is fundamentally tied to the paranormal.

The shift is open. Pour yourself something warm and dim the lights.

Tonight on Slightly Out of Frame, we open our shift at the edge of the Pacific Ocean exploring the history, storm ravaged past and lingering hauntings of California's historic Santa Monica Pier. From midnight carousel organ music playing in locked buildings to phantom fishermen vanishing into the dark waves, we examine how coastal amusements store decades of human friction.

Then, we step across the threshold into the studio sanctuary of renowned dark artist, illustrator and world builder Mister Sam Shearon.

Sam’s dark aesthetic has defined the visual landscape of heavy metal and dark pop culture, creating album art and merchandise for legends like Rob Zombie, Iron Maiden, Ministry, Rammstein, Slayer, and Fear Factory. Beyond music, his illustrations have graced the covers of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, The X-Files, Lovecraftian lore. We also explore Sam’s personal works and his fascination with cryptids.

The shift is open. Pour yourself something warm and dim the lights.

Tonight on a deeply personal shift of Slightly Out of Frame, host Sylvana steps out from behind the lens to share the quiet origin story of her relationship with the unexplained and how a single, chilling moment in childhood fundamentally altered her creative DNA.

We travel back to a ten year old’s sudden, terrifying collapse in front of a cold fireplace inside a historic Western Australian colonial home and the disturbing historical revelation that followed. Sylvana reflects on her journey through international paranormal research, two unexplainable photographs including a late lunch anomaly analyzed and left unexplained by experts and AI alike and how the unseen world became the ultimate catalyst for her liminal photography, art and writing.
