cannot stop thinking about this tweet… AUGH 😭
Just a 'small' post collecting some less well known horror short films that you can find mostly on youtube & vimeo! All worth a look!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUNGAZER 9min, 2020 (You'll have to log in to vimeo to watch this one!) "A short, wordless horror film about the terrors lurking just beyond the veil of reality." - Or, a man waits, and performs a ritual. Wicked atmospheric, manages to really paint a world despite the run-time. Looks great as well. [TW: flashing lights, body horror, harsh noise]
The Color Out of Space 5min, 2017 "A meteorite, strange vegetation, a colour: an experimental take on H.P. Lovecraft's spiral into madness, shot with a vintage camera on truly unique LomoChrome 16mm film." <- All accurate! Eerie little film.
My House Walk-through: 12min, 2016
Short, sweet, and unnerving!! The person who made this has done a tonne of other (more classical) 'internet horror' shorts, but this is a really wonderful & understated piece. Visually it feels very PT inspired, but its even more about atmosphere and repetition. Worth checking out the making of as well, pretty much the whole thing was done practically!! [TW: unsanitary conditions, blood]
Possibly in Michigan 12min, 1983
Cecilia Condit mostly does weird, dreamy short films. They have a kind of cake with a worm inside feeling, if you get me; things are rotting inside. This one is a cannibal musical! [TW: cannibalism, unreality, insects, murder, animal death]
The Black Tower 23min, 1987
More unsettling than scary. A man finds himself followed by a mysterious building. I really love how this one gets built up visually. The most like a tma episode out of all of these, or something out of Blue Jam. You can read more stuff about it here! [TW: unreality, talk of mental institutions, disordered eating]
Heck 29min, 2020 If you've seen any of these, I think it'll probably be this one. Its the short that originally inspired Skinamarink. I personally kind of prefer this. Digitally gritty and mean. [TW: Same warnings as skinamarink for the most part, there's a kid in danger, a little body horror].
Juliet in Paris 18min, 1967
Juliet moves to Paris for college, is lonely, and keeps losing blood. Kind of a vampire thing? But also not a vampire thing. Vibes and vignette heavy.
[TW: blood, animal death, self harm]
Dawn of an Evil Millennium 20min, 1988 (in 3 parts!)
A palette cleanser! Getting a honourary nomination through me hearing about it on a found footage podcast (lol). A trailer for an 18hr movie that doesn't exist; staring demons, 'olds mobiles', space-travel and cops. Deeply 80s, kind of ooey-gooey, pretty fun! [TW: some vomiting, a lot of fake blood gets splashed about]
Thanks for reading!
Columbine and Pierrot, Richard Geiger (1870-1945)
Monica is traveling home for the holidays, and this year she’s ready for all the chaos this trip entails. Unfortunately, nothing could’ve prepared Monica for just how wild this journey really is, and soon enough she’s locked in a dangerous race to the airport with little time to spare.
When Monica arrives she finds utter pandemonium, along with a sentient plane who’s just trying her best to keep things in order. But when Monica and the living jet plane finally have a chance to talk, it’s revealed that this beautiful vehicle is not really a vehicle at all—she’s the physical manifestation of chaotic holiday travel.
Monica is disturbed at first, but eventually she begins to understand what this sentient concept is all about. It turns out holiday travel really does eat ass, but not in the way you might expect.
This erotic tale is 4,300 words of sizzling human on sentient physical manifestation of travel action and living holiday trip love.
