Happy Halloween! Here's 18 Short Horror Films You Need To See!

October Challenge Day 31:

In light of last year's success, I've decided to dedicate every Halloween's October Challenge post to 18 brilliant short horror films.

Why 18 you ask? Because this is the 8th month of the old Roman calendar and the 10th month of the current calendar. BRAINS!

So without further ado, below is my pick of some of the best out there. With a review of 18 words or less, and in no particular order, please enjoy Horror Habit's 2016 Short Horror Film Festival. Happy Halloween, everyone!

Vicious: A whole bunch of EEEEEGAAAADS is happening here. Fantastic. Hugs recommended afterwards.
