Horror Short Films

Some of these short films may contain material that may be sensitive to some people. Watch at your own descretion.

Here we go, in no particular order.

1- EXIT
Based on the short story by Harry Farjeon, this short film written/directed by William Zimbler is about a man who demonstrates a very unsettling “trick.” It stars Julian Glover (“Game of Thrones”, “The Empire Strikes Back”).

2- Playing with the Devil
A short horror film based on the Japanese ritual of Hitori Kakurenbo or “One Man Tag” Terror ensues as the three sisters find out why they shouldn’t conduct such rituals

3- No Through Road
Based on the Clifton Bunny Man urban legend, this found footage style short is about four 17 year old boys were found dead in their car at an abandoned farm, 10 miles from their hometown. This video contains the unedited footage from the camera belonging to one of the boys, also found in the car.

4-Lights Out
David Sandberg won “Best Director” for the Who’s There film challenge for this unsettling 3 minute short. I suggest watching with your lights turned off.

The 3:07 Project
The Conjuring’s production team put on a one-minute horror film fest called The 3:07 Project, so named in honor of the “devil’s hour,” when the movie’s most notable demon action happens. Vice and The Conjuring’s team invited four directors to make a 60-second film inspired by the “devil’s hour.” The video linked about is what the end result was.

6- 2 AM: The Smiling Man
This film is based off of a story on the subreddit Let’s Not Meet. A man takes a late night stroll and encounters an unsettling stranger. The video and story both do a great job of taking something as comforting as a smile and turning it into something sinister.

7- Mama

The short film that inspired Guillermo del Toro’s horror movie of the same name.

8- Alma
This animated short is about a little girl and a creepy doll shop. One with a great ending.

9- Maniac
A film crew follows two serial killers documenting their exploits. Directed by Shia LaBeouf and starring Scott Mescudi and Chris Palko.

10- There’s A Man in the Woods
Another animated short film. This one is about a teacher who deals with a boy spreading false rumors around school. Oh, and it all rhymes.
