Go To

Hitchhiker: Julian Vansans is a creator of style and fashion. A master of appearance. But he's forgotten that there is something more important than what we see in the mirror. The truth of what we really are... the truth beyond the mirror, and if denied too long, well that truth can often come back to haunt us.


A model gets unceremoniously fired from her job by her vain fashion designer boss and retaliates by dark voodoo magic.


This episode of this series provide examples of:

  • Doppelganger: Julian finds one in his studio.
  • Fashion Show: The episode starts with one where several models walk downstairs and imitate a murder to the beat of bongos.
  • Magic Mirror: A key artifact stained with the blood of the dead model after she dies after the ceremony. Julian ends up trapped behind it.
  • Hollywood Voodoo: The terminated model retaliates by performing a voodoo ceremony with a picture of her boss on a mirror.
  • Read the Fine Print: A model finds out her year contract is over in a dressing room and the woman handing her the bad news just states that she understood the contract when she signed it.

Hitchhiker: For Julian Vansans, the surface was everything and he refused to look behind the images he created. He discovered too late that mirrors can crack and when forced to do battle with the ugliness behind his own image, it left him but a mere shadow of his former self.
