More About Balloon:
Penny didn’t grow up with a fear of the dark or the Boogyman in her closet. No, she grew up with the fear of the colourful and innocent balloon. Now in her late 20s, Penny and her therapist go back to the memory where she was kidnapped at her birthday by serial killer Poppy the Clown. It was the most haunting play date of her life. After her session she must stay indoors, for today is the anniversary of the killers death and people are running around dressed up as him. Penny slips into a deep sleep leading to a nightmare filled with a world of balloons and the ghost of Poppy. There, she learns what happened to him as a child and is pulled out of her nightmare by her therapist. However... Her therapist may end up being scarier than anything in her nightmares.

It was Pennywise

[@Steve-of3er]

floating a random theory here. She had that dream of the clown telling her she was supposed to have been the tenth. what if that was the birthday he first killed? his tenth birthday, the tenth victim? and her tenth birthday, marred by the kidnapping and near death at the hands of a clown serial killer? But then it goes deeper. what if it is not a dream at all? what if in fact at the moment he died, since he did not complete his cycle, the spirit of the clown transferred itself into her mind? a mind so fractured by the trauma she unconsciously took up his cause, and when presented with a circumstance in which to finally complete what he truly wanted, she could not control herself and the spirit of the clown took over, killing the representation of his tenth victim? it was not the understanding he wanted but the death of that special victim number ten. but the doctor did not realize this until it was far, far too late to stop it from happening.

[@tailablu3585]

Okay, so I kinda think the therapist deserved this. Lemme explain why, and no, it isn't just because he gave her a real knife. Talking about childhood trauma? Perfectly fine. Re-enacting confrontation with the cause of the trauma through hypnosis maybe? Honestly, kind of questionable, but I can see that happening in a therapist's office with the right person. This guy isn't the right person, which I will elaborate on soon. Now, forcing her to try to understand a clown serial killer? That's kind of fucking weird. Asking someone to empathize with a cause of trauma is something I could see, but forcing her to re-enact her childhood trauma, with her as the causer of it? Are you insane? I don't think the therapist even actually wants to help her. He seems like a fanatic who's close to going through his own string of copycat murders. He put on the makeup and gloves just to "help" her, and that scene in the bathroom... being totally honest, she looks like she's dissociating and the therapist is just, swabbing or making up her face. What I get from his vibes is that he's a fan of the serial killer in some regard, so when she couldn't act it out, he got frustrated, yelling at her to go through with it. I think him mentioning the documentary is a hint.

[@ShockResistor]

The therapist was more fascinated by the case than he was in helping her heal. He watched the documentary on the case countless times he said. He was fanboying over it, exciting to pretend to roleplay.

[@jackiecartwright9343]

The young penny was a great actor

[@K0r1ISH3R3]

We need a sequel, I'd love to see Penny in action as her new clown self.

[@gaymerkitty6240]

It looked like a mixture of John Wayne Gacy and Pennywise. Well done!

[@patriciasosa3044]

It's his own fault he should have not taken her mind that far

[@reneebrady8389]

I have actually suffered with this phobia [in reference to balloons] for years. Never knew what it was called until now, after watching this.

[@cindym.9029]

I GO INTO A FULL LEGIT PANIC ATTACK NEAR A BALLOON/S!!!

[@ffrivoo]

Sameeeeee

[@juliaemma5258]

I wouldn't say i have the phobia but i also tend to go into a bit of panic when i see people messing with balloons and making that noise and i flinch when i think they are gonna be popped

[@belledelphine9692]

Julia Emma Not prescribing you with a phobia or anything but I’m pretty sure you do. That’s not normal.

[@varga203]

Julia Emma me to.... when I see someone with a balloon I’ m not in panic but I have a BIG stress.( and adrenalina)

[@kifenty2075]

This was absolutely phenomenal. One of your best shorts, hands down!! I had chills, this felt like an actual, full-length horror movie! I loved it.

[@michellemckillop2931]

Not only untrue, but what happened to copyright infringement? This is a blatantly blatant rip-off of It and perhaps a little of Scream and Halloween as well. Not to mention, totally unoriginal and lacking any creation. Oops. Sorry. Nope.

[@swirlcenter3783]

The clown singing happy birthday sound like the creepy pasta version of spongebob

[@Tru-zc4yz]

Finally Youtibe recommended something I'm interested in watching for once. I truly dig it (in movies) when maniac clowns lose it.

I agree

4:23 it should be: FBI OPEN UP!

[@psychxticrose]

That therapist was incredibly irresponsible. All that was going to do was trigger her trauma, not help it.

[@ugouchendu581]

that clown sounded like spongebob when he was singing happy birthday. LOL!

You are too powerful. You need to be stopped right now.

Clown lives matter

[@d4mdcykey]

Thanks to the ending credits, I now realize there is an actual job called Balloon Wranglers. Learn something new everyday. Cool Short; properly atmospheric in most parts, excellent cinematography, great set designs, and topnotch sound mix. Storyline was rather predictable, but for a Short, it worked well. The acting of Erin Kiniry, as well as Angelique Wiesner I found to be standouts and impressive.

[@chbend8220]

no therapist would do something this stupid. this is the kind of thing a first year student would come up with.

[@BloodylocksBathory]

At first I thought, then why isn't she afraid of clowns? And then the film showed how balloons became associated with danger and death. Really good!
