Golden Springs is famous for two things: forty-seven miners who were buried alive in 1974 and the brothel built on their graves. When a film crew rolls into town to scout for their sci-fi movie, they find more than offbeat desert backdrops and otherworldly inspiration. A storm cuts them off, tourists vanish without a trace, and strange footprints are found leading away from a mysterious hole.

Sheriff Mani Diaz wants answers, and Cassie Carlisle might have found hers. Kamiko Jones and Arlo Macon just want to keep their film crew alive, and the desert wants something else entirely. Darkly funny, gloriously queer, and sharp as cactus spines, They Came From Below is a horror-comedy about found family, flame-throwers, and the kind of love that makes you brave when the lights go out.
