i was so proud of that little girl for beating up that toy

[@16fanlakers19]

That was my favorite part of the video. No one is going to hurt her mom when she is around.

[@chubbybunny8924]

xtreme bass Right she said"you ain't finna kill MY MAMA not today!"😂😂😂

"i wanna cuddle" story of my life Mr Bear.

[@stephaniebroschinsky4744]

This was such a great project to be apart of! Thank you to everyone who watched it. Emily sure had a blast doing it!

[@16fanlakers19]

She's such a natural and it's nice to know she had a great time doing it. I'm sure you're very proud of her. John

[@stephaniebroschinsky5298]

@@16fanlakers19 yes, very proud. Thank you for your kind words. :)

[@deekid311]

i absolutely love the opening sequence introducing your production company.. it's so vintage and John Carpenter Halloween-esque!!

[@witchingseasonfilms]

Thank you so much!

[@sailormoonfan4712]

I like your films

[@witchingseasonfilms]

Thank you!

[@remc0s]

Up to the letter font. I expected to read Moustapha Akkad any second. What is this Halloween font called?

[@MichaelBallif]

I believe it's called Serif Gothic.

[@liu6740]

I KNEW the panda was going to get possessed the moment the camera focused on it over Princess. XD

[@angeldodson5473]

pissed off exactly....wait NO language

[@katriinbubalo4396]

awesomeee *-* i'm i only who adore horrors and horror things,but scared of darkness?

[@nickilewinsky4070]

Katriin bubalo are you also afraid of sentence structure?

[@katriinbubalo4396]

+Nicki Lewinsky i'm from Russia..so I don't need to write english very good.. You don't know no one Russian word.. :)

[@nickilewinsky4070]

Katriin bubalo I said sentence structure. Meaning to form a complete sentence. I didn't say anything about Russia

[@katriinbubalo4396]

+Nicki Lewinsky Yea,i know.But,i said that I don't know english like you...

[@nickilewinsky4070]

Katriin bubalo why would you come to America thinking you don't need to write English good. What kind of logic?? That's like me moving to Russia and saying oh that's okay I don't need to know Russian very *well* because I'm from America so I'm sure they'll understand me

[@randycushman1669]

that rabbit doll is made by an old company named Rushton. They made the creepiest dolls ever. Some have twisted up sad faces and they are all fleshy and weird.

[@alexortega7722]

Well this video taught me something. NEVER LEAVE CREEPY DOLLS BY THEMSELVES WATCHING COOKING SHOWS!

[@boyish_lalonde4343]

Smart girl. I want her on my side when the horror movie reckoning comes to pass.

[@stephenjparry]

Awesome job!!! That little girl was a great actor!!! Great cinematography too!

[@witchingseasonfilms]

+Stephen Parry Thanks for tuning in again, Stephen! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Can't wait to see your next project.

[@teahasbeenspiltatthissessi7030]

GUYS I WAS SUSPICIOUS OF THAT PANDA FROM THE START HHAHHAHAH I CALKED IT! Ok I’ll calm down now 😂

[@peonyrose3541]

Kid: "can I sleep with one of these just for tonight?" Mom: "okay. Just one just for tonight." Kid: picks the creepiest, ugliest toy. Mom: totally not creeped out "okay, goodnight!"

[@authoranitarosenbaum6224]

I was trying to be a cool mom I guess ;)

[@kaf9765]

Princess Chucky lol

[@nickilewinsky4070]

Did she ask are there mice down here? lol as if they would answer. She must've watched Mickey Mouse a lot

[@QueenAmour8888]

Nicki Lewinsky right?!!!

[@opalgoon6154]

perfect example of how absolutely vital music can be in horror films, beautifully done ✔

[@kastielcharles1637]

One thing... I FRICKEN NEW THE PANDA WOULD COME ALIVE!!!!

[@homelesshannah50]

So she picks the ugliest, creepiest one? Good call kid.

[@3344TJ]

LOL...Nicely done...different to see a child handle things...creative writing. Thanks for the upload!

[@hpfan771]

I also like the symbol in the beginning of the film, with the witch.

[@witchingseasonfilms]

You're the first person to mention that little easter egg! :D

[@kell791]

Basements are always terrifying. Good thing I live in one now...haha

[@nainamandoiu3256]

Kelly Haight ,I'm worried about You,sorry..

[@Victoria77P]

And I live in a shoe box....

[@dionasmith-bey1483]

That's the scariest

[@brit1660]

That was my first neighborhood in Spanish Fork! We were the first people that lived in the house where that guy killed his kids, wife and mother in law behind the football field. So watching this is even more creepy!

[@theunknownsomeone6764]

Great story and the little girl was really playing her role very well!!

[@tinaj1816]

That little girl have more courage than a lot of adults,...Great one and good job!

[@sockersss1]

Thank god, finally a short with decent acting!

[@witchingseasonfilms]

Thanks Jenna! We're very proud of our cast.

[@Taolin21]

Very good story I loved the build up. Great camera work and an all around good short horror.

[@witchingseasonfilms]

+Brenton york Much appreciated, Brenton. Thanks for watching!

[@moonontheman1657]

It has potential but it'd felt like something I've seen 2 million times.

[@SamIam-bl4wk]

It’s more frightening to see that that girl has no manners! What happened to yes PLEASE and no THANK YOU!

[@susanchristensen3311]

I was just thinking, no way it was that easy, when BAM! Nicely done! I love this!

[@s.b.productions]

I enjoyed the cinematography, good lighting. And the end was a pleasant change having the girl kick butt and take names. :)

[@nikkirpino]

+S. B. Productions Sorry that was my other account, meant to speak with this one. :P

[@kaitlinm8053]

It's February and I'm watching Halloween short films Wtf am I doing Amazing film btw

Great shortfilm! I am a fan of anything Horror and I also love stories where kids are the hero That combination as well as the utterly CREEPY atmosphere and the amazing acting had me glued to my seat. Special compliments to Jamie. I rarely see children act this well!

[@witchingseasonfilms]

[@adammoss1458]

Witching Season Films child

[@hrittikaacharjee4518]

You're right

[@mareir]

It's never not funny when filmed from a stuffed animal's point of view.

[@vijayashrees7947]

Woah... brave little girl. She managed to defend so daringly. Hope she gets thru the danger that had been passed on to the panda too. Definitely!!

[@syedatahera2914]

The girl is so brave at this age... I'll never be able to be even close to that!

[@daniellekohl6490]

Great job! Suspenseful! That was one creepy looking bunny! The chef did a great job puting ideas into princesses mind; "weed out the assholes in your life"! Couldn't have said it better ;)

[@erinb6604]

Moral of the story: Burn every doll you find

[@emmatodd3678]

[@carlos-ricardochambers8486]

An excellent take on the evil doll thriller with just enough suspense & scares to keep a viewer hooked. Loved it.

[@digantahazra9013]

At first it was a fight between utter rubbish and brilliant......and the award goes to you. Cought the hint. Hats off guys

[@waltermecham4508]

Well done. Suspenseful :)

[@hpond69]

This was well done! Loved the suspense!

[@KimsLantern]

That was pretty damn cool. And the end twist..! I was like, Oh SHIT!

[@16fanlakers19]

That was AWESOME !! I have a feeling the little girl took care of the bear just like she did to the doll. Little Emily was terrific !! John

[@witchingseasonfilms]

Thanks so much for watching, John. Be sure to check out our other episodes!

[@16fanlakers19]

I have been and I am very impressed with all aspects of you and your crews hard work and talents. Wonderful camera work. Thanks for making these terrific videos for our enjoyment.

[@rosannacellini2158]

All the stuffed toys are evil things. The Panda's sure going to be hard work. 😱

[@motherofreptiles8141]

Something tells me they will be okay, that little girl is a badass.

[@travismansfield9512]

Just like Andy Barclay from "child's play".

[@ashishgajbhiye2677]

Cinemautography is Excellent, Background Score is also good...

[@donaldmack2307]

Mad props to Slasher Dave! Bro, if you read this, you’re cool, man! Keep Slashin!!

[@robynewilliams-heller1816]

I knew that was coming. LoL. Good Short. Really Enjoyed It.

[@sk8er7455]

If I could make one change it would be to make the film longer by 90 minutes.

[@daughter0fdarkness658]

It would be a whole movie then!!

[@shaynemyers9738]

Very clever! I found it easy to focus throughout.

[@HexenFrau]

Oh I remember this one from that movie anthology... I love anthologies and it's great to see so many of these shorts getting the chance to shine in a movie format, Keep it up!!!

[@medeqc]

Great work,VERY NICE short film.

[@jasonhutchings6055]

Well done! Awesome short film! I highly recommend this to anyone who likes horror.

[@RM-bj9sd]

So disappointed that Amazon Prime cuts off the ending! Glad I found it here.

[@KimsLantern]

Beautifully shot!!!!

[@southernmommasdiynailhobby]

My first short film I watched of yours was "they live inside us".. I'm a horror fanatic. But I'm also critical, to an extent... I only say this because I've seen so many bad horror films. Originals, re-makes, shorts, skits, so on and so forth.. what I'm saying to you is this, I can not WAIT until you make your first full length movie because if they are nearly as good as your shorts and I have no don't they will be, then us horror fans are in for a hell of a treat. You're incredible and I love your shorts. You're incredible!

[@witchingseasonfilms]

Ashleigh Boggs Thank you so much for the kind words! That really means a lot. We’ve actually finished our first feature and are working out distribution for it now. It should be released a bit later this year! It’s a feature adaptation of They Live Inside Us.

[@southernmommasdiynailhobby]

@@witchingseasonfilms You're very welcome. I hope your hard work pays off, and I have no doubt that it will. I'm so glad to hear that you have finished your first feature. I can not wait to see it!!! I've been binge watching your channel and your videos are one of a kind. I guarantee that it's going to be fantastic. Good luck with everything!!! 🖤🖤

[@hpfan771]

Amazing short film! Here is a tip of advice: never stop! Keep making these shorts and one day this series will expand towards Hollywood!

[@witchingseasonfilms]

Thanks for watching! We don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Look out for episode #4 coming soon!

[@karenphillips140]

[@randycushman1669]

I really love the intro. Great vibe.

[@kialoves2543]

That... Was....AWESOME!!! I knew the spirit transferred into the panda. Smart ass little girl too. She may have stopped the bunny but Kung Foo Panda is now on the rise for revenge. Lol! I came to this film because someone mentioned it in the Not Alone short. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@AlexDraco]

That was a great little movie ! Say, is "Princess" one of those rubber-faced animal dolls from the Rushton Toy Company? They have a creepy/cute feeling to them due to the hand-painted details and Princess just looks like one of them !

[@luciebuissereth813]

This was great!!
