Two horror fans.
Two cities.
One movie night.

You waste the first thirty minutes of every movie night deciding what to watch. Then you find out they've already seen it, or it isn't on anything you share. Graveyard Shift is a horror app built for exactly two people. Swipe apart, match in secret, watch together.

One email when it opens. Nothing else, ever.

The Deck: a horror film with its poster, score, runtime, and the services you both have.

Four ways to judge a film

Every swipe means something different.

Right and left you know. The other two are the trick. Seen it is a swipe direction, not a chore, so the hardest data problem in a movie app disappears into a gesture you were making anyway.

  • Want to watchNeither of you has seen it.
  • Not interestedBuried in the Boneyard.
  • Already seen itLogged. Never dealt again.
  • Seen it, but with youA favourite you'd guide them through.

The hook

Swipe apart. Match in secret.

You swipe on your couch. They swipe on theirs. Neither of you ever sees the other's picks. That isn't a setting you can leave on, it's enforced in the database. When you both want the same film, it seals into a Blood Pact and both phones know at once.

Your pacts: Blood Pacts, Guided Tours and Encore, with a night already scheduled.

The night

Two couches, one clock.

Pick a time and see it in both timezones at once. When you're both in the theater, one of you starts the count. Three, two, one, and you press play on your own streaming apps together. Then you scream at each other in real time from two thousand miles away.

THE WITCH

9:00You · EDT
8:00Them · CDT

Same second. Different couches.

The night is live: one ring, and the start time in both your timezones at once.

The point

It remembers everything.

Every pact. Every scream, plotted against the runtime. Every verdict you sealed before you knew theirs. The Crypt is the part that compounds. A year in, it's the only record of how the two of you watch horror.

The recap: both partners' reactions plotted across the film's runtime, and their verdicts side by side.

What it isn't

It doesn't play the movie.

Graveyard Shift is a companion, not a streaming service. It runs beside Netflix, Shudder, whatever you already pay for. It only cares which of those you bothhave, and it keeps the clock. No piracy, no player, no fourth subscription.

It's dark out there.

Go watch something together.
