A short film creepypasta that terrifies me. It is so simple, yet it makes me very, very uneasy. It's also the proof that horror doesn't need 2h-long movies to be effective. Comedy & horror are sisters and if short jokes are always the best, short frights might be too.

A lot of the short horror films I've watched are built, one way or another, on a terrifying twist that often occurs on screen as a jumpscare. Oscar's Bell (Chris Cronin) is a bit different. It feels more like a dark tale, a somber atmosphere. Also there's a dog.

Another feature film that was a short first, Mama by Andy Muschietti, better known today for the It franchise. The feature has some fine moments, but the short film is much more effective imo.

Have you seen Lights Out? The 2016 movie was originally a short film, and I gotta say, the concept works far better for a short than a long. Universal fear of the dark + dramatic lighting effect = banger!

Parker Finn is the director of the Smile movies, and the short film that started the franchise, Laura Hasn't Slept. But today I'm gonna share one of his first shorts. It's an easy concept, like many shorts, but an effective rendition of it. Be careful... jumpscare!

For the kicks (and the culture), let's first share one of the first horror short movies ever made: La Maison ensorcelée (The Witch House) by Segundo de Chomón in 1907. Not at all scary by our standards, but an amazing feat of special effects for the time!

Tonight's the night! But horror is never confined within a month. You can scare yourself every day if you wish. So keep that list bookmarked somewhere, it's inspiration for all year round. In the meantime, a quick list of short horror films bc often, brevity is scary.

The Exorcist (Jeremy Slater), a show adaptation of the eponym movie. Season 2 was far better than the first imo but both were an entertaining watch. If you like catholic horror or the Conjuring saga, this might be for you. I personally watched for Alfonso Herrera (but stayed for the demons 🎃)

In the same category of slasher shows, Slasher (Aaron Martin) is an anthology, each season focused on a different killer, a different group of people, and a different setting. It is pretty fun, the kills are gore and bloody. You might not like every season the same, but it's a GREAT watch for fans.

Harper's Island (Ari Schlossberg) is a slasher show with a pretty self-contained season. It has that 2000s charm, the kills are great and the story is thrilling, even if the tropes and some of the twists are obvious. If you like the slasher subgenre, could be a fun watch for you.

Marble Hornets (Troy Wagner) is a webseries inspired by the Slenderman mythos. It is a found-footage show, with a very low budget but some great ideas, especially utilizing their medium specificity. It's been a while since I've watched it, but it definitely left a mark.

Wreck (Ryan J. Brown) is a british slasher series, sadly cancelled after 2 seasons. It's a pretty short watch, with great tension and kills. Season 1 was also quite funny, season 2 maybe more dramatic, still both were pretty fun. It's also very queer, which is always fun in horror.

Calls is a French show created by Timothée Hochet, adapted in the US by Fede Alvarez. Both shows seem narratively related. Basically, it's an audio show with interesting visuals complimenting the dialogues. Each episode focuses on a different story, but they all seem to tie together. Brilliant.

After that little movie list yesterday, let's have a short series list as well! Horror shows, that is. A genre that has gained popularity for the last 10 years, and a great way to keep the scares going for November as well 🧟

Pontypool (Bruce McDonald, 2010), another horror film where sound plays a big part: a zombie movie where you get infected with words and speech. It's an indie movie, so the plot is pretty self-contained but it's a really interesting take on this genre. Stephen McHattie really delivers.

Berberian Sound Studio (Peter Strickland, 2013) takes place in a postprod studio in Italy, where a sound engineer is tasked with the mixing of a giallo. It seems to slowly drive him mad. The movie has a strange pace but I just LOVE Toby Jones.

Lake Mungo (Joel Anderson, 2008) is a found-footage horror film that takes a documentary approach. I've watched it because it's Flanagan's favourite horror film. I get why. It feels like a drama, with a lot of heart and heartbreak. But the horror creeps in slowly, until that final twist.

Better Watch Out (Chris Peckover, 2017) is a horror comedy with a dark twist. Really loved how the tropes were turned on their own heads in this one. The cast understood the assignment and it's fun, it's bloody, it's horrifying, so a perfect watch for a scary movie night with friends 🔪

Pahanhautoja (or Egō by Hanna Bergholm, 2022) is a Swedish horror film. A first long-length feature about dysfunctional families and the pressure put on children- it's far from perfect, but it's got great body horror moments.

The Vigil (Keith Thomas, 2020) is one of my favs of the last few years. It's about death, mourning, but also religion, its institutions, rules and sometimes strange practices. It's nothing new, but the sobriety of the terror got me. Loved the lighting settings in this one too.
