Personal
I was born in 1971. I’ve been married since 1994. I make my living as a Customer Service Rep. My wife is permanently disabled. We are child-free by choice.
Fetish
I’m a fantasy death fetishist. That means I enjoy watching consenting adults role-play fantasy death scenes in staged productions. I also enjoy fetish-themed artwork.
My fetish dates back to my youth. Thanks to relatively liberal parents and a neighborhood friend’s mom, I got to see a lot of Horror movies by the time I was thirteen, starting with The Exorcist at age ten. By fifteen, I was bored with their formulaic plots, particularly slasher flicks. They weren’t scary anymore, so I started watching them to see how many different ways filmmakers could kill off a bunch of stupid coeds. In other words, like most Horror fans today, I started rooting for the villains.
I joined the ‘net in 1994. Three years later I discovered a website called Necrobabes and learned I’m not the only one who likes watching people play dead. I’ve been a highly active member of the community ever since, and collected a wide range content.
Likes / Dislikes
First and foremost, my fantasies always involve male antagonists and female protagonists. With that in mind…
My primary fetish is asphyxiation with a strong preference for lift-up and car stranglings. For the latter, the antagonist must be seated behind the protagonist.
My secondary kinks include impaling (the slower the better), stabbing, electrocution, and the occasional crushing.
You will never see gallows-style or other forms of drop-hangings here. I grew bored with them a lifetime ago and think they are terribly cliche anymore. I much prefer scenes in which unsuspecting protagonists are lassoed by an unseen killer lurking above, and lifted off the ground where they last stepped. That type of hanging offers so many more creative possibilities for scenarios and environments, not to mention the added benefit of watching protagonists’ futile efforts to claw at the ligature as they struggle and die.
I’m not a fan of shootings, and can count on one hand the number of exceptions I’ve seen thanks to certain elements that stood out for me.
FantasyDeath.net
Starting in the late 90s and running through late 2000’s, there was a similar site called DarkSites.net. It’s goal was to be the only bookmark fetishists would ever need. Sadly, it no longer exists.
In February 2024, someone on the Deadly Desires forum expressed how much they miss Dark Sites and asked if there are any similar resources today. There aren’t, so I offered to build one. The response was overwhelmingly positive.
Fantasy death is my fetish, my passion, and now my website. What better name for a community link directory than one based on the very fetish we all share?
Nyght’s Clips
I’ve been editing clips from mainstream movies and TV since 1999. I was tired of seeing great death scenes interrupted by camera cuts to build suspense. I spent most of that September experimenting with different capture and editing solutions before building a setup that let me do what I wanted.
Brigitte Bako’s strangling in 1995’s Strange Days was my first edit with my new gear. I posted it on Necrobabes’ Fantasy Asphyxia forum to gauge interest in my new hobby and was inundated with requests for more scenes. I built my first clip site in October 1999 and ran it off and on for nineteen years before closing it in 2017.
Back then, I was trying to offer a one-stop resource for every asphyx scene I could get my hands on, fatal and non-fatal alike, whether I liked them or not. Unfortunately, bandwidth-related technical issues prompted a massive overhaul and the removal of most of my content in March 2018. Coupled with my growing frustration with the lack of good scenes to edit, I lost interest a few months later and closed the site in June that year to focus on my 3D art.
I’ve been proudly creating original content as a 3D artist since 2009, but I still love video editing, and want to share my collection. This time, however, I’m sharing a wider variety of scenes while limiting content to scenes I like well enough to add to my collection. Clip requests are welcome, but I reserve the right to respectfully decline them. I spent 19 years filling requests for scenes that did nothing for me. I’m never doing that again.

Site Authoring
Fantasy Death is powered by WordPress, an open-source blogging tool and content management system. My goal in designing the site was to build one that looks professional, is well-organized, and easy to navigate. WordPress was ideal for achieving that goal with software that is widely used and frequently updated. If you encounter any problems viewing pages or downloading clips, please contact me.
