Jorja Samagalski I did and now I think I sleep downstairs now

[@kaloshneenaidoo6942]

i made it halfway.......

[@sivert1163]

why is that so special?

[@anumkhan286]

Thank u so much 😊 🙏 for appreciating me

[@artyismybae9554]

"Look... I'm going up." "Ok, I'll go outside."

[@primallove]

Who just conveniently has an entire second floor with no electricity? 😒

[@mnirwin5112]

Okay, I am never living anywhere that has more than one floor ... or a basement ... or a crawlspace ... or ... screw it, I'll just find one big room.

[@emywhite6101]

Same 😂

[@kandygirldragon1208]

MN Irwin lol

[@gavynarmstrong8851]

MN Irwin I have a two story house with the attic dooR in the bathroom

[@Phishkisses]

Until you wake up in the middle of the night, and in the darkness see something standing in the corner across that big room.....

[@becomingabetteryou147]

you are so funny lol

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

"How about instead of chasing an unknown intruder up the stairs to where the lights don't work, we just stay together, down here, where it's light and we can watch the only point of entry...and just call the police?" Finally, a relatable horror-movie protagonist. "No, I really want that Darwin award." ....there are two kinds of people. 😂

[@andreamara8542]

Then you wouldn’t have a movie. 😂😂😂 My husband always wants to go see what sounds/looks strange. Too macho to show fear. 😂

[@ulfin.9676]

Something that I want to tell to that girl after the boy pulled by the ghost : "Are you stupid or something? Get the hell out of there!"

[@carot2592]

Whoever watched it full screen I applaud you

[@zombieebrainz8044]

CARO A I did and it's night too

[@mocha_nim]

I watched it on full screen for a minute. Regretted it soon after.

[@jorgezapata2929]

CARO A thanks

[@raulmadrigal7332]

Thank u cause they s isn't scary

[@raulmadrigal7332]

This isn't scary

[@eidechsearts]

Why do their stairs lead to the Shadow Realm😂

[@avacyn2000]

The musical Cacophony at the beginning was an fantastic intro, made me feel unsafe from minute one 😂

[@GarryWilliams555]

I find these short youtube horror movies much scarier than any mainstream horror movies. I never jump at horror movies, but I jumped in this...twice.

[@LupusTerre]

Watch REC.

[@ceilingfan4260]

A rare gem in the world of horror. Very suspensful with great filming for only taking place in 3 rooms and a staircase. The monster's costume was top notch and her movements were her believable

[@humongousfungusamongus3871]

I thought it was silly of that girl 2 just stand there, like an idiot, while light after light turned off! I would have ran out the door by the 2nd light out! Does she not have a flashlight on that cell phone of hers?? Meh!

[@lamginshlomothangjom563]

She's dumb...

[@pamelacparker7947]

Kat Alday me too 🏃‍♀️

[@lostinto2838]

She didn't even help her brother I mean she could've pulled him hard and ran with him 🤦‍♀️

[@cynthia.7986]

marvelous, it was so well done and scary that I almost got a heart attack when the guy found the "thing" upstairs

[@robertkeating1868]

Head phones on, full volume, im going full screen! Wish me luck....

[@JourneysEnd]

AMAZING job drawing out the tension. Seriously-- you really know how to make silence work for you. I can't wait to see more from you guys. Make more!

[@xochitlgonzalez9957]

I was forcing myself to watch it full screen but I had to keep pausing​ it to prepare myself😂😂

[@queenvanessa8196]

Xochitl Gonzalez 😂😂😂 me too

[@TheSwordbird98sPage]

This is why I have a metal bat in my room (and car).

[@leperwolf7287]

anybody else notice the movie they were watching was the trailer for the original Night of the Living Dead?

[@dontrellsmith8632]

They reactions was wayyy unrealistic

[@adilmuneer3135]

That was a real jump scare..I laugh on horror movies but this jump scare really got me.

[@Bed_Sheet_Ghost]

One highly anticipated jumpscare and a half-baked ending jumpscare. It's a low-cost, youtube horror short film that still does a decent job for what it costs you... I can't take the guy seriously when he "falls" down the stairs nor when he's dragged back up, he slides down the stairs on his belly and then they rewind that footage for the following scene and its utterly HILARIOUS! ^-^ The script was likely taken from a child's scary stories book obtained at a school bookfair but works well enough to merit (considering most of all modern horror relies on simplicity to feel familiar to the audience and invoke the scare that it could be you next!) Feels like Crypt TV material. 10/10 for what this film tries to do.

[@anitaharrell7819]

why would they go up stairs in the first place knowing that someone or perhaps something was upstairs

[@shardinhand1243]

rule of horror number one... people are suicidaly stupid

[@awk-wordwriter7179]

Anita Harrell exactly. I like the girl in this...she's smart...just call the cops

[@johnburgess286]

Anita Harrell probably because the director told him too.

[@krishk7302]

I dont think they were stupid if someone enter your home and if its a doubt you will definitely chk first then call the cops

[@barnalijana1142]

That's rule of so called horror stories

[@brett4711]

Very nice! Considerable tension, build up, great shots, nail biting silence - enjoyed this quite a bit. Most impressive for only the second video on your channel.

[@sajohnson865]

These kids must be thugs bc they don't act like it's scary to have a pale stranger in the house. Way too calm for me.

[@sajohnson865]

Sunny !! Exactly 😂😂 too calm I would’ve left a hole in the front door

[@kandygirldragon1208]

Life718 lol

[@christiangerhardt2408]

The movie could have just ended at 1:45 because it was just that freaky.

[@Wheatley60]

Is there no front exit door in these homes? Leave the house. Why remain??Gheeze!

[@Jahniejan22]

omfg I NEVER FELT LIKE I JUMPED OUT OF MY SKIN BEFORE BUT DAMNED HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMFG!!!!!!! 1 minute an 45 seconds into the movie an I just died😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😰

[@raspbrie9079]

Wooh! ! you died😂😂😂

[@faithhamilton5126]

hahaha ya watch the the visit short story lol

[@GorillaGrip300]

Wtf why would u give me a heart attack😭😭😂😂😂

[@makaylasummers7593]

This was the first time I watched something scary and covered my eyes

[@ghostone6159]

Although the quality isn't so good and the acting is amateur, I AM STILL IMPRESSED!

[@tatenoctiluca882]

*has a straight face* "I'm scared"

[@innesmcdee978]

This just turned into a phone ad `` Do you see a creepy ass girl crawl up your stairs where there is no power? JUST USE YOUR NEW IPHONE7000 WITH 4567 HUNDRED GIGABITS AND A GIANT FLASHLIGHT!``

[@michelleenns8426]

Sir Gothic 😂😂😂lol

[@kaloshneenaidoo6942]

that jumpscare scared me! and i hardly get scared! wtf

[@jamalpurnell683]

Sarah: the lights don't work up there Me: why the hell not Sarah: I paid only half my light bill

[@spopybi9095]

Ehm... I have stairs in my house and I was already scared of them... Thanks for adding to the fear :/

[@shaif1967]

I love it when the girl's eyes keep shifting to the stairs. That's one fine acting!

[@theworld1290]

seriously believe me I am a deaf so i don't know what type of sound comes on horror movie....but when my brother was seeing this movie and suddenly he screamed loud and dropped my phone because of wearing earplugs ..... and I was laughing so hard at him..... 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TessaLCastro1216]

Nice. The "thing" should have her own KZbin makeup channel lol

[@queunlimited4779]

"Aayyyeee! There's a ghosty beasty up the stairs...I'm gonna touch it!", Steve Irwin Aussie Voice.

[@AdamSharpe-ih8xz]

OKay, ya freakin scared me! Are you happy now?! That was fun! Nice job!

[@yourshoesuntied3980]

The cords that hold my heart in place collapsed cause it was beating to rapidly

[@banksygal6917]

Australian and I didn't realise how aussie I sounded till I saw this 😂

[@nelliesilvers1210]

Yup..same😆👌🏻. Except my Aussie twang includes a lot more cursing...I'm not very ladylike 😏

[@mareir]

**sees thing run up stairs** **stands up, opens front door, leaves** The End.

[@pritiuikey1371]

That was awsome.... i fuckin loved it...

[@habitable4116]

First line is "wot" This is authentic UK

[@annodomini7887]

“I saw a man upon the stair, I looked again he wasn’t there.” Sounds like my dad, S.O.B left to get cigarettes and that was 25 years ago!

[@chination1796]

Moral of the story: if you see or hear something in the house get out & call the police

[@dilucs_cumslut1353]

CHI Nation yep especially if you’re alone.🤦‍♀️ like instead of being stupid and curious about a random noise in your house alone get out or call someone

[@CuriousGoodsJessica]

Why don't their lights work upstairs? Call the landlord - "yeah, the upstairs lights don't work, AND there's a demon, can we get our deposit back?" The lesson is, DON'T INVESTIGATE! Leave & come back in daylight - didn't these people WATCH horror movies? This was pretty good though.

[@undeadcreatureix7369]

i hate when there is no sound then they just blast it...

[@UncondtionalLove72]

made my heart jump in my throat!! 😲🙁😯

[@rvl480van5]

Yeah I would have been flying out of that house almost as soon as I heard someone going upstairs! But it looked like the pale woman was running from something as well. If SHE was from something then I definitely don't want to meet whatever the hell she was trying to get away from!

[@amscatcher4707]

Jennifer Martinez 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@1zdkxwolf1wolf97]

Jennifer Martinez 👉👌

[@adrijaganguly9508]

The girl was literally waiting for the lights to turn off😂😂

[@FaijanHuda]

when the doors opened and after 10 secs of silence i got my kydney in heart and heart in brain

[@caracallover1266]

Girl: "I'm getting the creeps standing here" Me: hmmmmm I wonder why🤔🤔🤔😑

[@libbyie1338]

Like Vac said put olive oil on the steps so than the demon would fall down and hit the door, and crack its head open hehe

[@killercoyote9864]

If I saw something run up the stairs I would've been out of there with cellphone in hand calling the bishop and my mom.

[@dvxshx]

CONGRATS THE FIRST TIME I GOT SCARED BUT WITHOUT SCREAMING

[@Pratik145j]

Omg 10min of movie and i got the creeps and the chills. The music score really builds up the tension and makes u wanna look away. Seriously good job. I am wondering what u guys could do if you made a full movie...

[@minlizzy5911]

Ive never been so freaked out in my life excellent video😱😱😱

[@Mille78100]

1:39 ma heart!!!!!!

[@iancanty9875]

Spook at 6:54 “relax, my bare feet are cold, I only want your shoes” 😂🤣🤪

[@AshleyPotter01]

Ashley's husband, Patrick, posting: A good, scary film. Two thoughts that occurred to me was, who has an upstairs where the lights don't work? Second, why didn't she run out of the house screaming when Joe was pulled up the stairs. If he were unconscious, I would have agreed with his not fighting back, but man, I would have kicked, screamed, and grabbed every bannister post I could have. So that could be defined better. If he'd said, "I -- I can't move!" then we could think, she did something to him to paralyze him. His girlfriend should have run. The thing could have still caught her outside in the dark of night. Still, very scary. Well done overall. 4/5 stars.

[@sunnyhopkins3556]

Ashley Potter maybe they just stopped working sometime earlier in the day and a repairman is coming the following morning

[@mathiasw2238]

"I saw a man upon the stair I looked again he wasn't there He wasn't there again today I wish the man would go away" FUCK, MAN THESE CHILLS.

[@shadownotfound6464]

For a second I thought the title said," THE THING FROM MARS." LOL XD

[@bancplayz483]

I had to keep pausing the video to prevent me having a scared to death stroke

[@kavinprasath6496]

My god I was watching this with headphone with full volume I just nearly got an heart attack

[@angeliquegrieve8316]

At 1:40 I threw my phone downstairs

[@coolfreshreviews2674]

Angelique Grieve I threw mine upstairs

[@alexboender5924]

I jumped a couple times. If I were to give it a star rating, I'd give it 4 and a half stars

[@dawnfinch8873]

i don.t jump easily but god i nearly jumped out of my skin

[@pierce9719]

if you jumped to this then im afraid you do do jump easily hahahaha

[@mirandaellor4884]

Dawn Finch Me too

[@sjames304]

Microcosm of the World Today: spoiler alert - - - - - Horrible monster drags boyfriend up stairs to disembowel and devour him - girlfriend has chance to run out door to seek safety and get help - instead...........girlfriend runs to smartphone to see if there are any incoming texts from stupid bimbo friends - girlfriend is then subsequently caught and devoured by same horrible beast - The End. We are doomed. Too stupid to live.

[@promiladas5568]

l watched it in full screen, the ghost makeup wasn't scary, but the jump scares were frightening.

[@vanessamosad6206]

lil boy deserved it she warned him like 30 times. (Good job btw)

[@barnalijana1142]

Vanessa Mosad but she didn't deserve that. Poor that Asian lady

[@TheSkour]

i freaking jumped out of my seat, holy crap . amazing job

[@Nic_thehauntedhaunter27]

That dude is brainless for going upstairs to check out what was going on lmao.

[@fydenciarichardson2844]

you literally stand there seeing something that looks like a monster?? joe you got what you deserve. somehow i still like this video.

[@boogerjones3445]

I believe the quote is "Yesterday upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today, I wish, I wish he'd go away".

[@nelliesilvers1210]

Now THIS is how you make jumpscares work..nicely done👌. The drawn out tension worked well too. It's definitely one I could watch more than once and still feel uneasy. Having the memory of a goldfish helps too😀

[@aqibali3906]

he should close the door and run back on seeing the thing.instead he continued looking at her.such heroism shoukd be avoided.

[@kelseykat8161]

Damn near soiled myself on the jumpscares💩😂😂

[@shellymaynard8250]

Loved the music. Name please??

[@user-gw9rw6fy1r]

this scared the hell out of me. My mom literally came in a said stop screaming :/ and she should've helped her boyfriend :(

[@ParthiBhardwaj]

6:35 *my heart popped out* 😨😨😨😨😨🙈🙈

[@angellyrivera2528]

I’ll run to a neighbor house and knock and tell them that there was something in the house and say can I stay in your house until the cops come if I don’t feel at ease I’ll just go my parents crib and another thing in 6:57 both her hand on something else in 7:08 how tf is she holding that finger

[@alexlee4921]

HOLY CRAP 1:39 JUMPSCARE WARNING oh btw and 6:34 another jumpscare

[@SwaggerUnmatched]

Oh my god really good I was doing my makeup while I was watching this it was a bad idea because when she turned around and made me jump and I totally stabbed myself in the eye with my eyeliner

[@bluenovember2566]

Damn it!!! My nerves are shot to hell now.... Why didn't she run up out of there??? I would have been running as far away as I could.

[@davewills7436]

thats one hot ghost :O

[@Alien-up4dk]

I woke up my family when i screamed! XD rip #grounded

[@mrrd4444]

It looks cheaply made but the building tension and the sincerely nightmarish face of the monster girl is so much better than most high budget horror films. Kudos!

[@annieswift8593]

I jumped twice...😶😶😶😶

[@raduysya5634]

You can't win a stairing contest against a ghost.

[@focusman7273]

Falling down from the stairs seems to be more fun than water slides in amusement parks.

[@tinaj1816]

I have to admit that really scared me, good job you guys!

[@Royfokker73]

For as many things as I loved, I had as many critiques. It was very well done. Generally I find younger people playing adults in large home they own a bit of stretch that ruins immersion but you both did very well. The electricity not working upstairs was a bad plot device, it was immediately unbelievable and only there to give a reason for keeping the areas dark. However the tension and suspense you created upstairs was marvelous. Also finding the girl I think ruined the basis of your story which was taken from the poem. Making her a visible presence took the suspense away. Something that was always just seen out of the corner of your eye would have worked. It would have required some changes to the overall story but would have worked. Anyway, I really did enjoy. I'll check your other shorts out.

[@yaramyahgabar3110]

Why the hell, did she stay in the freaking house?

[@jamelliahamilton4861]

Tell me this shit ,and she dialing the police or someone at 000 who number is that lol

[@Hunny1au]

Jamellia Hamilton 000 is the Australian emergency number for the police, fire brigade and any emergency services. These people are Australian. Good spot though.

[@StupidEarthlings]

So, no lights work on the 2nd floor?.. should've called an electrician a while ago. House definitely has electrical problems. Which I assume aren't important now..

[@soulreaver1983]

Absolutely fantastic thanks
