Hey everyone, director Andrew Bowser here! The internet may know me better as the "Weird Satanist Guy" or "Onyx The Fortuitous"! I have a love for all things dark and absurd...and I hope you do too! Enjoy "Little Willy"!

The fact that this was filmed at a con I’ve been to, where I did in fact see Elvira, and where I did see horror icons with no one at their tables and it bothered me enough that I still think about it often… this was kind of surreal 😂

[@moniquevandeplas5210]

I love your comment.

[@twindrill2852]

Little Willy is meant to be personification of the intrusive, violent thoughts Adam kept inside. Him saying the iconic line at the end is him blaming those intrusive thoughts for turning him into a monster.

[@BowserVids]

Hell yeah!

The doll used in this is actually a 1967 “That kid” doll made by Hasbro. It was one of the very first electronic interactive dolls to ever come out. Because the doll line is from the 60’s, many of them no longer work today. So it’s hard to find a “That kid” doll that is complete and functioning.

This was way too much fun! Having Zach and Adrienne in the cast was brilliant! Even though I pretty much knew how it would play out, the journey there was awesome. Thank you for this, Alter.

Great work, Andrew! And kudos to the phenomenal cast! The use of classic screen icons (the ever enchanting Adrienne and the still spunky and handsome Zach) made this psychological tale all the more real. I have been an ALTER fan for years, and I have only a a few favorites. This is now, one of them. Thank you.

[@moniquevandeplas5210]

Nicely done. Really loved the Robert England call outs and what a way to show how childhood actors can have so much pressure 9n them they snap. This is like watching Chucky on LSD and being depressed about where your roles aren't taking you but hey you have a sidekick for support through and through...so life can't be that bad. Mine as well enjoy the show.

The things that little willy said is what represents OCD thoughts that many people face. People think that OCD is just about wanting to be clean, but its much more than that. OCD can be very frustrating and cause a lot of people to be scared of there OWN thoughts. As someone who suffers from intrusive thoughts, its very appreciated to finally have some good representation of what OCD can actually be like for many people.

This was an amazing analogy of how someone can get trapped in a persona when they are so much more. I remember the same thing happening to Bela Lugosi; he was a trained Shakespearean actor in Hungary but is always remembered for his horror icons here in the US.
