This was some TALES FROM THE CRYPT type of episode. Good work.

[@billyandrew]

So, my parents lied to me and money *does* grow on trees! 💵😜😂😂😂

[@blairmacewancrosbie8646]

great story line and concept. Loved it. I'm getting addicted to all these high quality horror/sci-fi shorts. Beats wasting 2 precious hours watching crap big budget formulaic horror movies. Excellent!

[@cyndeero4138]

Blair MacEwan Crosbie agreed I can watch like 5 different horror movie shorts that are actually good instead of waste 2 hours on one movie that probably sucks

Wow; what a story! The real horror of this tale when you let it sink in is that this guy will have to kill any and everybody who finds out about this tree. What a burden to carry for the rest of his life!! Great post guys!

[@matycee]

"I can sell more windchimes" !!! Windchimes. She makes and then sells windchimes. That would never occur to me as home money maker. Wind. Chimes. She might do better if she diversified her craft and started producing kaleidoscopes and thumb pianos as well

[@kellyhill-zk3wb]

Or maybe sell some eggs from all those chickens lol

[@nancyjones6780]

That was so great! It's a cautionary tale for sure, especially in these uncertain times! The final scene and the special effects were so well done! Bravo!!

[@markobutkovic9965]

It's kinda scary how money can change people from a nice person to a cold blooded serial killer.

[@minabluegirl]

No it was only some special tree story ;)

[@BrunoSantos-on8be]

Not actually the money but the way our society is strongly based on it. A man who was about to lose his land and witnessed his mother killing herself because of that could tell how much money means. Regardless of all the moralistic speeches, without money people are nothing. The homeless people are the living proof of that.

[@Yatukih_001]

Something has to be on the money that does that.

[@siobhanofarrell4646]

Bruno Santos You are tragically morally vacant if you honestly believe that homeless people are “nothing” since they don’t have money. You sound like a Trump voter.

[@Piaseczno1]

The couple of former serial killers I know don't put people away for money. They just enjoy their hobby and absorb out-of-pocket costs themselves.

[@AliRadicali]

Other people: "Money doesn't grow on trees." Rancher guy: "Hold my mom."

[@Endymion766]

I have an apartment in Los Angeles and can testify that you would need a money tree factory to afford to live here. I can only do it because it's a studio and I eat beans and rice and a 15 year old car.

[@brianshaner8865]

Man, this is great! You guys & gals did a fantastic job! I agree with others, why doesn’t this have more views! It’s certainly deserving of it. A few years ago, I found a plethora of foreign horror and action movies superior to a lot of Hollywood’s crap. I feel the majority of the horror shorts I watch are in the same boat as the foreign stuff. Just as good as Hollywood, stuff, or better. Keep it up, everyone!

[@RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal]

Wow, that was scary and horrific ... just goes to show that money is not the root of all evil, but what we are willing to do to have it that is the root of all evil, great acting, good story, terrific short, thanks for the upload Screamfest

[@salyblack1009]

After he killed the chicken , I just wondered if he made a curry with it . I don't want a money tree , that's just greed , Now a health tree , I'll kill for a health tree . Lol

[@datsryteb]

The horror of this story is what we didn’t see. I can’t imagine how many other ppl did what he did, including his parents?! Wicked story 👏🏽👏🏽

[@РахилПеличев]

I believe his father killed his mother, coz of the same reason, some over-rich oil businessman wanna buy their property and home;.. yet this is another story, that needs a whole chapter for its own.

[@wyattbooth9918]

Why did he shoot the dog! He could have just opened up a free cemetery under the tree and used all the fresh blood to make more money!

[@yvonnewilson2242]

I was thinking in the same vein! But if the vet puts a pet down it's usually cremated. Most official pet cemeteries have ashes buried.

[@mnirwin5112]

Possibly because he needs the money NOW ... and even a newly opened free cemetery might take time to even the first 'customer' in ...

[@coryanntopanga]

They're usually drained of blood and replaced with embalming fluid, so it wouldn't work. It needs blood. I just really wish he hadn't killed that poor dog, though. 😔

[@davidj.thompson]

Nah, he'd have to go to college and get a mortician's license and Mr. Capstone didn't strike me as the scholarly type... Plus, he was in a HURRY!

[@jasonbourne6365]

Did you watch thed flick? He needed the money now!!

[@dalebruton2368]

Well done. Superb production. Even the end title sequence was impressively done.

[@johnnymata3159]

A Definite High Quality Horror Film. Not Your Typical Haunted House Ghost Story Nonsense.

i guess that tree is not a tree its a money printing machine,and blood is just ink needed for printing

Literal blood money.

Now that is a happy ending. Money don't grow on trees, but the day it does, it becomes macabre. I really love the concept but that girl wasn't smart, she should have seen it coming.
