The Ohio Man - Short Horror Film

[@advocatemedhabhattacharya22]

this story gives the lesson that noone should keep their house keys under a door mat 😒

[@bluesky5384]

Did the first girl really just sigh a sigh of relief and go about her night after she locked the smiling man out? Lol I’d be moving to a new galaxy if that happened to me. Also kinda wish he never talked. Makes him more unsettling. I enjoyed it! Watched this after a rewatch of Hereditary tonight 😊

I'm sure we've all seen the MICHAEL EVAN'S Smiling Man short film from 9 years ago, if you haven't go check it out. It's one of the OG's of KZbin short horror films and it's in my top 5. That's one of the reasons I made this film. There is so much horror content being released that films such as the smiling man, lights out, bedfellows, I heard it too, etc, are getting buried in the archives. This is my spin on the creepy pasta, THE SMILING MAN, and this is me paying homage to the MICHAEL EVANS original.

[@brianshaner8865]

Fantastic work! The OG Smiling Man was one of the first horror shorts I watched and is amazing. But hats off to yours as well! Congrats to all involved. Bedfellows is another one I watched when I started getting into horror shorts. Simple and fucking amazing. Lights Out as well. I’ve watched so many great horror shorts over the years. With channels like Screamfest and Alter, they get content out.

[@Useryt-w2s]

This is similar to "The Smiling Man."

[@nctzen_oviya.1587]

OMG that short film was my first horror short for me when I got into horror movies and stuff, THIS is acc so good and scary, this is definitely going into my playlist

[@vrabes2959]

I regard him as the creepiest man on the planet. Well done, Alex and Payton! The anxiety was real!

[@jamescallans9209]

My hats off the to the actor playing the Ohio man, really pulls off the creepy crazy stlaker so well. His motions and movement make a simple smiling man so much more threating, and the funny way of running but at full psycho speed. The whole video even has the best setting, alone on a dark still night. This felt like an urban legend. Loved it.

Nothing wrong with being happy, but this smiling man is taking it a bit too far 😄 Very creepy film, great job!! 👍 I’m sure I have seen another version of this as well, is it a thing?

[@taracollins5597]

Yes, its a telling (and re-telling in creative ways :) ) of a based-on-real-life encounter one man had, with what he called 'The Smiling Man'. The original person who first told the tale did survive (hence the details) but it shook him to the core & thus the tale began. :)

[@marcuswall8852]

@@taracollins5597 Ok, so there is a story behind this… Creepy! Thanks for sharing that information, didn’t know this 👍 All the best!

[@taracollins5597]

@@marcuswall8852 No problem. :) The one thing that is puzzling: I could have sworn I typed out the entire story (a basic but fun background) of the story above. Yet it isn't there! Hmm, oh well. I'll type it again, if you are interested :) A man (in California I believe) used to go out for walks at night to clear his head, around 2 AM. On one such walk, he sees a person down the street....weaving back & forth on the sidewalk. The man is amused, thinking he is seeing someone drunk or just being silly. But as he walks closer, he sees its a well-dressed man....dancing silently. A bright, fixed grin is on the man's face. The smiling man never speaks, just dances very deliberately. The man watches him for a few moments, transfixed. He starts to get a bad feeling, watching a man dance like that with no music ....& at that hour. Without warning, the smiling man breaks into a run towards him......the man panics & runs away. He gets safely inside his house. The smiling man vanished & the man never saw him again. But he also NEVER went walking at 2AM again! :)

[@marcuswall8852]

@@taracollins5597 That’s a weird and creepy story at the same time, haha. That running event must have been really chocking to experience… Thanks again, nice of you to write down the full story…again 😊

[@JoaoRodrigues-yf7xc]

Smiling woman series copy... Smiling man (2013) copy.... the problem is that this copy is the cheap Chinese version. The actor of Smiling Man is really awful, to a point that instead of a creepy or scary smile it just looks stupid and forced. Also, when he screams "I have a knife, I'm going to do blood stuff" is totally pointless and stupid, as well as the story wich is: none!

[@Blxdenetworktv]

[@Capriciouscabrera]

This was great the first time I saw it years ago, but Walt Disney did it with Mickey mouse and look where it has gotten him, also everything in this crazy world has been stolen from another person and benefited from it, it makes me happy to see this man smiling because it reminds me of all the good things in life! Even if he is a crazy killer he is doing what he loves and good for him for finding his purpose! We can all learn a lesson here.

[@simontemplar4760]

Hey Alexander ! I liked your short horror movie "The Momo killer 2" ! Also, can you present please a short horror movie with Anna Dahl again - because she's a good actress (and in the idea to see the Momo killer find her again after she escapes in "Momo killer 2") - who, during the night in friend's house, is harassed by phone messages from mysterious fanatical fetishist (so Momo killer) - who wants her to post pictures of her feet; but since Anna refuses to respond to the demands of this madman, the latter will take revenge by attacking her (in a discreet way); Anna walks barefoot in her house, so she encounters many traps set by the maniac : firstly, leaving the shower, she slips stepping on soap and falls forward; secondly, sitting on her couch, legs crossed, watching TV, her left foot on the ground shifts to the left and her toes accidentally land on a mouse trap (and after that, Anna receives a message on her phone and is scared seeing two photos : a close-up on her feet when she steps on the soap one side, and with the mouse trap in the other side); panicked, she runs to the front door and the windows to see if they are closed (which is the case), but then Anna hears a suspicious noise : she walks cautiously to the kitchen (she doesn't see anyone) but when she feels her big toe touching something on the ground, she looks down and discovers with horror that she almost stepped on broken glass; Anna begins to insult the madman and try to call the police (but her phone has run out of battery); so she decides to leave her house, but arriving in the corridor, something suddenly stops her : Anna looks down and discovers her right foot steps in glue substance; panicked, she tries to move her foot or to wiggle her toes (but in vain), then she grabs her ankle and pulls with all her might : her heel starts to come off but the strong glue tears off her sole's skin (makeup), and Anna cries with pain when she frees her foot which bleeds; sitting on the ground, Anna looks her bleeding foot, after then the Momo killer in front of her who kills her. The End !

Fabulous movie 🎥

[@UJJYY]

The production value was good. However, I wasn't a fan of the music being used when The Smiling Man first makes his appearance. At times the physical acting of said actor wasn't all bad, but the smile they decided to go with wasn't all that convincing. Can't fault the guy for his physical appearance, but it didn't really work for me. The one thing that I had the biggest problem with is the fact that he started talking towards the end. The voice just felt.. off, and not in a good way. With that said, the whole idea behind "The Smiling Man" is mired in mystique. Who is he? What does he want (well, apart from murdering people based on this adaptation) and above all, what drove him into adopting this uncanny and weird behavior? But with that said, maybe those stones are better left unturned. Appreciate the effort even though it didn't win me over completely. Looking forward to your next project.

[@taracollins5597]

While I agree that this version of The Smiling Man was a bit 'too much' in some respects, I felt the filmmaker here was trying to portray him closer (not as, but closer) to a 'human-like' being...a psychopathic killer. Whereas other versions of the tale seem to make it clear The Smiling Man is otherworldly, even demonic. I have read a bit into the background of the original story & its based on an encounter a man had one night. This man loved to go for walks to clear his head, very late (or early, technically speaking)....usually around 2 AM. On one such walk, he sees a man on the street. He's a bit of distance away, but he appears to be well-dressed in a suit & is weaving around on the sidewalk. The man is amused at first, assuming the handsome man is drunk or just being silly. But as the minutes pass, he sees the man is wearing a bright, fixed grin & is not weaving...he is dancing with no music. This unnerves him.he asks the man if he can help, but gets no reply....but the man begins to dance closer. Suddenly, the handsome Smiling Man breaks into a run towards him.......& the man naturally takes off running. He stops at one point & realizes the smiling man has vanished. He never saw him again.....but he also made a point to NEVER go walking at 2AM ever again.
