What is the Harbinger Tetralogy?

Four films.
Not sequels. Not prequels. Not related.
Except for the antagonists. The four antagonists are from the same plane/dimension and are here to do one thing:

…TO FEAST ON OUR SOULS...

Demons in each of the films come from another dimension. Although they don’t live here, they can survive in our world for short periods.

They hunt here.
But they only do this on special occasions.

Similar to our “holidays”, these demons feed only 4 times a year. These “Quarter Days” coincide with our solstices and equinoxes.

As the sun lingers longest in the sky, the spirits of the Earth awaken, dancing in the radiance of the solstice.

The Concept

The four demons are known as Quatablis. They are Astral Travelers from the world, Kamaroopa, feasting in different planes. Their portals to our world are only open 4 times in our calendar year.

To us, they are monsters that cannot be destroyed. The best we can do is avoid them at all costs. Throughout each film, clues are sprinkled for the repeat viewer to find. Easter Eggs, sometimes blatant, sometimes obscure, tell the story of the four. These clues connect the films, opening up the idea of a much larger universe – a horrorverse.

The Harbinger & the EQP

This being is used as a threshold guardian as the archetype in Campbell’s The Hero’s Journey.  He’s a human who has seen their world and been able to walk the planes. He shows up in each film in one form or another, blatantly giving the main characters the clues and how to avoid certain death.

This world isn’t limited to just the four movies. Accompanying the tetralogy is a fictitious audio drama called The Existence of the Quatiblis Project, or EQP. It follows a group of “believers” who trust these aliens exist. The group has found a series of audio recordings from a man simply named Larry, who has been able to travel into each of the four films.
