about

Riverside

Small, quiet peaceful and completely insignificant small town buried somewhere deep in U.S.A. guts. If some places are forgotten by god, Riverside could be described, without a doubt, one of places he never even herd of.Down here times goes without heist just like there were nothing left to look forward to.

Citizens living their rusty lifes without slightest excitement begin their everyday ritual of waking up and going to work. Everything in proper order since forever.

Buried in everyday life boredom,  Nobody seems to notice disturbing and creepy incidents, taking place on old cementary near town. Most of them have forgotten about old cases, threw it deep inside of their consciousness. But all of us have some dirty little secrets. Just waiting to be revealed.

And sometimes those secrets are not only dirty but also smelly, rotten and absolutely dreadful.

And those kind of secrets are best revealed by someone as dirty, smelly, rotten and dreadful as they are.

Meet the cast:

Frank-portret

  • Frank

Sometimes cruel, sometimes nostalgic- always miserable.

Frank can’t remember his past, or how he ended creeping around Riverside graveyard looking for human flesh and entertainment. Robbed of his memories, left with awfully nasty sense of humor and absolutely no faith in world or proper afterlife,  he spends his days just being a fatalistic, misery-fueled,human-eating undead prick.

Just got to love him.

Bob-portret

  • Bob

Someone more distinguished would describe Bob as glutton.The only problem is any distinguished descriptions just cannot refer to creature like Bob.

Someone more direct would describe Bob as most disgusting piece of decomposed, cannibalistic blob which  just happens to have face capable to express emotions  by straight accident.

Someone blessed with common sense would just stay out of his way.

Frank’s best after-life buddy, capable to eat more amount of human flesh, than he can vomit. He cannot remember past nor sins committed during lifetime. Only hint about the past are names Matthew and Dominic,with which Bob keeps christening his tumors.

Big fan of children flesh.

Quacky-portret

  • Quacky

If you ever loathed clowns and shivered on sound of their their “honk honks” Quacky is basically your biggest, most disgusting and mind melting nightmare. For the rest of you Quacky is just an ordinary nightmare, you can put next to “being drowned in rotten pigs guts”, “raped by future you evil-cyborg” and “killing your children to save your wife dilemma”.

Quacky is the only living dead in Riverside’s graveyard, that doesn’t talk. Ever. What makes him more creepier than Frank and Bob constant gibbering. He strolls around tombs and crypts making honking sounds and balloon animals out of human bowels.

Nobody really knows what goes inside this pale skinny head. But It’s probably nothing funny.

Not untill you’re Satan.

Mayor-Kowalsky-portret

  • Mayor Alden Kowalsky

Every great town need a great leader.

Apparently all great leaders were dead or missing during elections, so the responsibility of being a Mayor of a fine piece of town establishment, which Riverside is,  fell into hand of one and the only Alden Kowalsky.

Being a Mayor is a taught job, it can really get to you, causing stress and tension big enough to make even the finest politicians break. Luckily Mayor Alden left his mind in another trousers, so the stress or actually keeping order in town doesn’t bother him at all. No one really knows what is really happening inside Mayor’s head, there were some theories but this mystery is better left alone.

When he is not busy talking to dead dogs, he is probably being naked in his office

Kellogs-portret

  • Humphrey Kelloggs

None of great leaders could manage to rule their empires without faithful advisors. Mayor’s number one man (and number two and number three and number four hundred and thirty three…) is Humphrey Kelloggs. Man so devoted to run most precise and well working mayor department he decided to get rid all elements unfavorable of running the Riverside’s infra-structure.

That includes his sense of humor and personality.

Kelloggs is a physical manifestation of every stereotypes about town clerks known to man. Always worrying about everything, under constant stress and trying to undo Mayor’s ridiculous decisions makes him most miserable and stiff creature that ever walked the earth.

Sheriff portret

  • Sheriff Avery Smith

Judges, Documents, Order, lawyers, evidences… Those are for pussies

Sheriff Avery Smith have only one punishment for all the lawbreakers: a huuuge hole in a head made by his gigantic magnum. Who needs any court bullshit when citizens are in danger? Well definitely not Sheriff Avery, because when any crime occur he appears there and just beat the shit out of it, blow it friggin brains out and then beat is some more.

You know, for the kids!

Every child in Riverside know to stay out of trouble, because when you get into trouble sheriff will came and lick your insides off the wall right after he shoots it out of you.

Sheriff Avery just hangs around Riverside watching for any suspicious actions or gatherings ready to pop out of nowhere to shoot anything that looks any “lawbreakish”. Maybe it’s stress after serving in army made him like that or just a crappy childhood. nobody knows

the only rule is- you break the law, he brakes you

Moe-Mc-Carran-portret

  • Butcher Moe Mc Carran

Flann-Mc-Carran-portret

  • Flann Mc Carran
