This was our first project that we made back in 2019. This is a re-upload because I wanted to make a ProRes master of the film, but in these last 5 years, some parts of the project got corrupted - particularly the colorizing. But I always hated how I colorized the film, so I figured this was an opportunity! I re-did the whole thing and I'm much happier with it. It's definitely not perfect by any means, but I figured it'd still be worth it to post the newer version. Hope you enjoy!

Loved both ur films. Very original! Nice work!

[@janscurlock2482]

You must've had a fear of being left alone...and a very vivid imagination. They seem like nightmares ir bad dreams...😊

Really appreciate it, everyone involved really put in a lot of effort and we're glad to see people are enjoying it

[@digino5889]

I love the intro with the miniature set. I build minis and this is mad dope! Very very creative....

[@SkeletonCrew2019]

Hey appreciate you noticing! Our props guy Kenan spent a lot of time on it

[@monimoni8141]

This is awesome, your talent is shining through on this project. You can be just as successful as any existing writer out there. This was an outstanding short film, and I don't think just anyone can write horror. Take a bow. You did well.

[@SkeletonCrew2019]

Those are some very, very kind words. Thank you so much!

good one-keep going

[@maryberry6067]

Very Interesting. Really like this actor.

[@jean4186]

Aside from the film, massaging your legs with rubbing alcohol for 3-4 minutes will give relief. Also never take Benadryl, it will bring on the symptoms. Restless leg syndrome is a miserable feeling. And now I will finish the movie.

[@000aleph]

I very much like the work of this director. Compelling progression into ever new circles of Hell.

[@sabinemeurer2972]

It's one of the most frightened things, I've watched (and I'm a huge horror fan)! You've made one of my worst nightmares visible... so, thank you - i guess?! 🤔😉😎 After having own experience with paranoia and sleep paralysis (with hearing and feeling things)... this was quite something to watch! ❤️ Luckily I've never seen anything, but then I it's even more frightening not to see what's coming for you.

[@Tater4200]

I've never seen anything either. But it fks me up not being able to move and hearing people whispering in my ear! 😂 after freaking out for a few seconds I "wake up" and can move again

[@timothycollier-actor]

Hey guys, a big shout-out to your crew. I thoroughly enjoyed this project and can't wait to see what you will continue to create. Fantastic stuff!

[@crystal.hangovergang]

I don't get it at all!!! What was the point?? What did the ending mean? What did any of it mean?

[@danb05486]

Really enjoyed this, something I see with you films is that you guys really nail atmosphere and tone great! I loved the choice of having the puppeteers in the shot with the giant mannequin which in another film it might not have worked but again with the atmosphere it works and is so unique. The final shot has me so confused, is there a hidden cut or CGI?

[@rpete765]

I am the actor from the film. Without giving too much away, it’s all one shot with no cut! We devised a way for me to safely drop off the roof and hide the mechanism before the camera reached the edge. 😅 Thank you so much for watching!

[@danb05486]

Wow, I was sure there was a hidden cut in there somewhere!

[@Chriswilli-k4q]

AWESOME!!!! I WANT MORE!
