Unnatural Entity: McCallisters
Otherspace the Binge has proven impermeable to frustrated Videomancers since its discovery. Adepts aren't known for taking affronts to their worldview laying down so this has been more of a red flag to a bull than any disuasion. The efforts of one cabal of the dying school of magick have produced some success by vicariously studying viewers drugged into docility and subjected to 24/7 viewing.
By "reeling in" their subjects at the right time the cabal found that they could capture entities from the TV-based otherspace on VHS tapes. This process was deleterious to their subjects, but that was almost forgotten in the rush to extract favourable fictional characters from the popular imagination. A secondary breakthrough came up with another use for the mindless husks of their victims: they could use them as incubators to grow bodies for them.
The creatures the cabal spawned were downright horrific, which led to their eventual downfall and stories of an alien Xenomorph stalking the Canadian wilderness. Fortunately only one of the escapees has proven intelligent and wilful enough to reproduce in the wild: Home Alone protagonist Kevin McCallister. Living in secluded Lord of the Flies-style communes of a few dozen they desire more VHS tapes of their movies to digest, creating eggs, and living hosts to implant them inside. Thankfully they aren't limited to human hosts, the main factor is size so livestock are an appropriate substitute, and they have proven willing to negotiate with people for help.
That's not to say that the McCallisters should be considered benign. They are utterly amoral and consider human beings to be "flat" dull creatures, this place a drab low-contrast irreality in comparison to their home dimension. Anyone antagonising them will discover that the laws of physics have done nothing to curb their malicious inventiveness and flair for dangerous traps.
