Why does cosmic horror matter to creatives? Let’s explore that question through Markiplier’s 2026 film Iron Lung, based on David Symanski’s 2022 game of the same name.
We’ll look at why the genre is so timeless, how well Iron Lung evokes those themes, and how they can resonate with creatives in exploited industries—especially game development.
Along the way, we’ll make a book-nook adaptation of the movie with lights and a handmade book cover. The project also covers illuminated 3D eyes, waveguides for tiny LED display panels, and more.
Mark, if you see this and want the diorama as a token of my thanks for making the movie, let me know. You’re more than welcome to it.
