Get ready to check under your bed again. The acclaimed horror-erotica anthology that sent shivers down spines in 2019 is back. Pure Taboo has officially resurrected ‘Under the Bed’ for a second season, and the premiere episode, “House of Silk,” promises a masterful blend of psychological terror and intense passion, now streaming exclusively on Adult Time.
A Return to Cinematic Horror
Developed by the visionary chief creative officer of Adult Time, Bree Mills, ‘Under the Bed’ carved out a unique niche for itself by creating what the company calls “modern horror television for adults that happens to have sex in it.” The series isn’t just about jump scares; it’s about building atmosphere, crafting compelling narratives, and exploring the darker side of desire.
The new season kicks off with a bang in “House of Silk,” written and directed by Mills herself. The episode stars August Skye, Codey Steele, and Josh Rivers in a story that plunges them into a terrifying and sensual world. And if you caught the recent special “Manhood,” consider that just an appetizer—this is the official main course.
“Like Being on an A24 Set”
The cast couldn’t contain their excitement about the project, emphasizing the high-level production and deep commitment to storytelling. For August Skye, a self-proclaimed horror aficionado, it was a dream role.
“Shooting this scene was absolutely amazing. It was like the equivalent of being on an A24 set. And for my fans that know me the best, they know that I’m a HUGE horror fan. Hopefully I lived up to their expectations!”
The A24 comparison isn’t just a throwaway line; it speaks to a larger trend in adult entertainment. Viewers are increasingly seeking “elevated” content with strong plots and cinematic quality, and Pure Taboo is leading the charge. Co-star Codey Steele echoed the sentiment, praising the creative team of Mills, Michael Vegas, and Siouxsie Q.
“This scene is pretty wild and unexpected. It was really awesome to see how much work went into the makeup and special effects for August’s transformation. I love working with Bree, Michael and Siouxsie and all of the crazy things they come up with.”
More Than Just a Scene
The original four-part season of ‘Under the Bed’ quickly amassed a cult following, with fans celebrating its daring and innovative approach. This new season builds on that legacy, proving that adult content can be both artistically ambitious and incredibly hot.
The series fits perfectly into Bree Mills’s broader creative philosophy for Pure Taboo, which, as she has mentioned in past interviews with outlets like AVN, aims to challenge norms and explore sexuality in a thought-provoking, artistic way. Fans have already taken to social media, with many on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) praising August Skye’s performance and the episode’s eerie atmosphere.
For actor Josh Rivers, the project represents the pinnacle of what the industry can achieve when it combines performance with passion.
“Scenes like this one are a big reason why I got in this industry. Not only do I love sex, but I love acting. To have a crew like Bree, Michael and Siouxsie alongside Codey and August come together with this project… it’s something that I don’t think anyone will be prepared for!”
What’s Next From the Shadows?
“House of Silk” is just the beginning. The new season has continued to roll out more chilling tales, including “Love You to Death” starring Kenzie Reeves and “The Boogeyman” featuring Ana Foxxx and Isiah Maxwell, proving the creative team has plenty more nightmares in store for viewers.
As the line between mainstream cinema and adult entertainment continues to blur, ‘Under the Bed’ stands as a brilliant example of what’s possible. It’s a show that will stick with you long after the credits roll, leaving you with one final, thrilling thought from its star: it’s something you won’t be prepared for.
