Award-winning queer horror "The Vacancy" explores the "Physics of Fear" through the eyes of a Gay Catholic Demonologist as the world-charting Paranormal Salad Universe (PSU) makes its cinematic debut this May 2nd. Winner of Best LGBTQ Film at the Morgana
The award-winning Paranormal Salad Universe (PSU) officially makes its definitive transition from "sonic terror" to cinematic reality this Friday, May 2nd, with the global launch of "Into the Unknown: The Vacancy."
Directed by Robert Jerome Pagan, this high-intensity supernatural thriller stars Pagan as Jax Ember—a Gay Catholic Demonologist—who investigates a terrifying 400% spike in UAP sightings in the Nevada desert linked to an ancient artifact emitting a deadly 19Hz frequency. Fresh off its wins for Best LGBTQ Film and Best Webseries at the Winter 2026 Morgana Film Festival, "The Vacancy" serves as the pilot for the high-stakes "Into the Unknown" series.
"This film represents a milestone for our global 'Salad Head' community," says director Robert Jerome Pagan. "For years, fans have followed these investigations through our world-charting audio dramas. Now, the voices finally have faces as we bring the arthouse magic of the PSU to the screen for the first time."
The film features a powerful ensemble cast that bridges the audio and visual worlds of the PSU, including Regg Davidson, who reprises his fan-favorite role as Fr. Thorne, alongside Keith Edward Gorman as Julian, Ustat Sidhu as Cole, and Brandon Halderman as Clay. The production also features the vital vocal talents of PSU veterans Mikayla Daniels (Sr. Ruth), Deborah Kosnett (The Demon), Deklan Parker (The Watcher), and Marla Royne Stafford (Mrs. Higgins), ensuring narrative continuity for long-time listeners.
