Skellington Curiosities & The Dark Overlords of Waco

From an early visit to Skellington Curiosities to the premiere of The Dark Overlords of Waco documentary, this story traces the slow construction of a community outside Waco’s norms. For people who don’t neatly fit inside a city’s approved categories, choosing to live without apology widens the gap between visible output and the invisible labor required to keep a scene alive.

What emerges isn’t a clean success story or a cautionary tale, but a pattern of repetition—how momentum takes form, thin outs, and returns in altered form—as people try to create a place that feels like home.
