Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping The Sun Vanished into the ol’ VCR. 

The Sun Vanished was one of my first ARGs.

Let me set the scene. It was May 2020, and I was unemployed and staying with KP at my grandmother’s house. 

During this specific time in my life, I got really into YouTube channels like Bailey Sarian’s. However, I also got really into the likes of Local58 and The Sun Vanished. 

I don’t remember exactly how I found these two, but embarrassingly enough, I think it might’ve been on some sort of Buzzfeed listicle or The Infographics Show. Regardless of the source, I’m so excited that The Sun Vanished made its way to me. 

For those who aren’t familiar, The Sun Vanished is a Twitter-focused ARG where one day, the sun completely disappears and throws our lead character, TSV (The Sun Vanished), into perpetual darkness. 

Through various Twitter accounts, fan interactions, and creepy af videos, we’re introduced to an alien invasion story like no other. 

Now, I could recount years worth of tweets for you, but where’s the fun in that? Do yourself a favor and take a few hours to dive in. I promise you won’t be disappointed. 

And remember, don’t drink the water.
