Blame It On Toby

Posted on 31 October, 2020

[“Blame It On Toby” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] Giving off a R.L. Stein Goosebumps vibe, “Blame It On Toby” is both a freaky horror short film and very well pieced together that leaves you unable to turn away until it’s too late! Writer/Director Richard Knight Jr. actually created this horror short film to kick off an…

Cleanse

Posted on 31 October, 2020

[“Cleanse” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] Unlike the other films in Out on Film Festival’s “Horror Shorts for Halloween”, this short film from 2019 had very little information. Other than a very short teaser and imagery of crystals, I didn’t know much else. After watching “Cleanse” – I STILL don’t know much about this short….

Conversion Therapist

Posted on 31 October, 2020

[“Conversion Therapist” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] I’m on the fence about “Conversion Therapist”. On one hand it feels like they are trying to include any and every little queer bit they can think of into what should be a simple abduction/torture storyline. It ended up suffering from having too much happening that the strong…

Dama Branca

Posted on 31 October, 2020

[“Dama Branca” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] Short, “sweet”, and to the point – that’s how I like my short films. Of course, when they’re a horror short film, I also want some blood, ghouls, or terror. “Dama Branca” includes all of that – in just five minutes! During a conversation with director and star,…

Halloween Shorts 2020

Posted on 31 October, 2020

I realise that TONIGHT is Halloween (technically it’s already over for me down in New Zealand!) and that I’m posting this VERY last minute…. sorry!?! I only discovered yesterday that Out On Film was hosting a “Horror Shorts for Halloween” online festival. Since I wasn’t quite in the mood to go out and party tonight (it’s not really as big of a thing here in NZ), I opted to stay inside and watch these seven spooky…

The Quiet Room

Posted on 31 October, 2020

[“Blame It On Toby” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] I really enjoyed “The Quiet Room”! Rather than continue to rely on classic horror tropes, writer/director Sam Wineman has created a NEW horror legend: Hopeless Hattie (portrayed by Alaska Thunderfuck) who haunts the quiet room at the psych ward. Naturally, Hattie loves her boyfriends and won’t share with…

Tonight It’s You

Posted on 31 October, 2020

[“Tonight It’s You” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] Wow! You go to watch a horror short film and expect something horrific. But the “twist” in “Tonight It’s You” was NOT at all what I expected – I was pleasantly surprised !(And equally caught off guard – which is even better with horror films!) Let’s dive…
