## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Fog curls around the campus lamppost at dusk, a coelacanth slab gleaming under glass.  
A professor’s hands tremble, then clot with primal blood. Footage of a lab coat snagged on pine bark.  
Like Hammer Horror’s frenetic American cousin—cheap, fast, and best before midnight.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult
