Happy Halloween! Here's 18 Short Horror Films You Need To See! (2020 edition)

October Challenge Day 31:

Happy Halloween everyone!! Here is 18 brilliant short horror films to spook up your day.

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 2020 Short Horror Film Festival.

*Note, Blogger has gone through an update and I can no longer embed videos as I have done in previous years. Simply click on the title links - they'll take you directly to the films.

Shadowed: With clever visual effects and a super spooky home - this one should not be overlooked! 

Oscar's Bell: A father/son camping trip goes terribly wrong when *something* comes out of the woods. Very scary!!!!

El Aura Azul: A little Colombian ghost story shocker that has a lot happening in it's 8 mins. 

Catcalls: Dude, you messed with the wrong women! 

Sweetie: A slow, menacing tale about the perils of not having any treats during Halloween. Turn the sound up...

Craspec: A brilliant, haunting and jarring, French short that begs the "what is hell?" question.

Finley: Absolutely outstanding!! Equally funny, clever, and bloody. Loved it!

#brunch: When two friends meet up for brunch, an unexpected visitor also makes an appearance. 

Mr. Dentonn: A Spanish horror fantasy in the vein of The Babadook and Slenderman. Beware, little children...

Boobs: Super short, sweet, disturbingly funny and frightening.

Noidan Merkki: A Finnish Found Footage Film!

The Bride: A fascinating new take on a classic spooky story. 

The Preying Mantis: It's a half hour, so it takes a while but it will be worth it for the ending. 

Ayuda: Thrilling, dramatic, and scary! These poor guys were picked up for the wrong job.

Ding ... You're Dead: Folks, all you need to know is that it's about a killer microwave.

A Doll Distorted: Beautiful, atmospheric, and seriously f*cked up!

Dawn of the Deaf: Whoa! This is a doozy - a lot packed in here. Also, personally amusing because I am half deaf. 

Viola vs The Vampire King: I'll end this year's film festival with some very fun grindhouse goodness!

Bonus, I stumbled upon the making of Viola vs. The Vampire King - damn thing was so sweet, wholesome, funny, and adorable - I just have to share it too. It also helps to see how much work and love goes into even the shortest of films. Thank you artists for sharing your work!
