If you thought things that go bump in the night were scary, try adding some seduction to the mix. Pure Taboo is back to haunt our fantasies with the second season of its hit horror-erotic series, “Under The Bed,” and the premiere episode is a skin-crawling, pulse-pounding masterpiece starring the incredible August Skye.
The episode, titled “House Of Silk,” dropped recently, kicking off a new season of the Bree Mills-created anthology that expertly blends genuine suspense with high-tension eroticism. For Skye, a self-professed horror fanatic, stepping onto this set was a dream come true—or perhaps, a perfect nightmare.
“Shooting this scene was absolutely fantastic,” August Skye shared enthusiastically. “And my fans, who know me very well, know that I’m a huge fan of horror films. I hope I lived up to their expectations!”
A Dream Role for a Horror Queen
Anyone who follows August Skye on social media knows she isn’t just paying lip service to the genre. She’s a true horror aficionado, and that passion bleeds through in her chillingly captivating performance. In “House Of Silk,” Skye plays a young woman who inherits a mysterious old house. As she and her companions (played by Codey Steele and Josh Rivers) explore the property, they uncover a dark secret tied to a sinister, silk-spinning entity with very specific, very carnal desires.
The result is a slow-burn thriller that feels more like a modern A24 horror flick than a typical scene, a testament to the vision of series creator Bree Mills. Mills has been vocal about her goal for “Under The Bed,” telling sources like AVN that the series is about exploring psychological fears and building atmosphere, rather than relying on cheap jump scares. It’s about getting under your skin in more ways than one.
More Than a Scene: The Erotic Horror Craze
The launch of “House Of Silk” couldn’t be better timed. The adult industry is seeing a major shift toward more “elevated” content—productions with strong narratives, high-end cinematography, and genre-blending stories. Pure Taboo, an Adult Time studio, has been at the forefront of this movement, and “Under The Bed” is one of its crown jewels.
Fans are eating it up. Chatter on platforms like X and Reddit shows viewers are hooked by the combination of genuine plot and high-heat passion. The consensus? August Skye was the perfect choice for the role, bringing both vulnerability and strength to a character caught in a terrifyingly seductive web. It’s clear that audiences are craving more than just action; they want an experience, and this series delivers exactly that.
As the second season of “Under The Bed” continues to unfold, “House Of Silk” sets a darkly beautiful and terrifyingly high bar. It’s a must-watch for anyone who likes their horror with a heavy dose of heat.
As August herself said, she hopes she lived up to her fans’ expectations. Based on the buzz, it’s safe to say she absolutely shattered them.
