The ALTER Files: Creepy Creatures

[@lenoreleitch5297]

Wow - I just realized that there was not a single word of dialogue in Here There Be Monsters and yet I was enthralled the entire time. The young lead actress was phenomenal - she spoke thousands of words with her face and body language. Major talent.

[@neverthesame7887]

absolutely 100% agreed

[@crispyist7939]

She was amazing!!!!!

[@minnarosenqvistmr]

Facts! I watched this when it aired on this channel,but had to watch it again as I love this channel so much!! Great actors&actresses,and phenomenal shorts/movies!!!❤❤❤

[@CallMeKes]

That's pretty common in these short horrors. I mean, the lack of dialogue. But yes, that one was one of the better ones I've seen.

[@CorporateG0th]

Yo that wasn't bullying on that bus that was a straight up murder attempt

[@yrn._sk]

right

[@mauveferret7076]

In this case, it was more of making the mistake of poking at a bear. But yes. That could've killed her. Really messed up.

[@ethanor]

@@mauveferret7076 Best case scenario, it's assault with a deadly weapon. Regardless, those two girls are going to juvy

[@Nobahdee]

I mean..."In my day" I had mfers throw AA batteries at me once. Pegged the shit out of the back of my head. Guess who became the bully that day. Mfers don't throw shit no more, that is a fact. Violence begets violence. However, Buddhism does teach that you have to stand for yourself when you are oppressed, especially against tyranny. Do not bend to the will of others, the life path flows thru us all. There should be no concessions when we share star dust and life water. WE ALL win, when your brothers, sisters and neighbors win. I am, when you are. I am as you. WE are.

[@staciingemi1528]

I agree wholeheartedly! I would never intentionally hurt a soul, however, you need to stand up to anyone who is trying to hurt you. Period. If everyone thought the same, we would have such a good world. Too bad it’s not that way.

[@Fido-vm9zi]

'Here There Be Monsters' was very profound. The way she was treated trapped her on that bus with monsters. Mentally people do get trapped, and enraged, by things that occur to them in this world. Some become monsters themselves-consumed by anger & hate. I felt very deeply for the girl when she was crying. At the end her demeanor changed drastically. She wasn't crying. Great work!

[@deborahkelly1948]

Love the way how covertly it depicts the origins of 'both' the monsters❤️, amazing performances

[@LotsofLisa]

I certainly get the deeper meaning and metaphors of life, but surface, simple me would’ve dealt with the human, day creatures until a resolution of some kind. You’re going to earn the right to hurt me. We’re all monsters, sometimes it just needs help getting out, self preservation works everytime… oh, and revenge.

[@SweetBabyJesusOnTheCross]

Yeah and even more impressive since there was not one word of dialogue in the whole thing (except for the background chatter happening inside the bully's house at the end).

[@CuriousGoodsJessica]

"Here There Be Monsters" is a special kind of film, I think. Pain, humiliation, fear, etc. expressed in so many aspects but with bitter revenge and courage too. That young lady played her part so well, and I have to say as the scene shot moved to her face in the backyard in the end, she was so beautiful and looked so mature, and confident, but in a strange way. I'm probably not explaining it well, but it's hard to describe the feeling you get when something hits you, isn't it? Great collection of stories, Thank you!

[@jblue2523]

"Oscar's Bell". This film is the stuff of nightmares. You just never know what's actually among your midst.

[@zoop2132]

The actors for all of these series are really top-grade pros. It reminds me of the original Twilight Zone episodes where many actors went on to become famous stars in multiple AAA movies. Great casting.

[@mannymarkable]

Give that girl an Oscar. Phenomenal performance and a terrific short. It had me captivated from beginning to end.

[@Ankur_d142]

Oscar is killed now 😂

[@sardonicapple5369]

It is very rare that a compilation of shorts holds my attention from beginning to end and this is exactly what this one does. Right off the bat Here There be Monsters and Oscar’s Bell set the tone for a totally enjoyable watch. I usually do other projects while having shorts like these running in the background only looking up when the music cues promise something interesting. This was not the case here because my eyes could not leave the screen and my brain screamed wanting move of each tale. Whoever put this together knew what they were doing by giving all these talented artist a forum to shine. Every single story made me research either who the creators and / or actors were in each short which is not something I don’t normally do. Brava!

[@Linkboy94]

Here There Be Monsters speaks to me in so many ways I had to live through but it wont turn me into a monster like she was in that short

[@SweetBabyJesusOnTheCross]

Give it time. You'll probably snap sometime in your 30's and drive your vehicle through a crowded Mall or go on a rampage with a crossbow at a Carnival. Happens to the best of us.

[@kamikeserpentail3778]

I noticed the Gremlins 2 poster in Meow, awesome. That one had a humorous 80's movie parody vibe, it was amusing. Glad it turned out the way it did.

[@israelgroysman5040]

It was a Carpenter-level movie actually

[@neverthesame7887]

Oh man, one of my favorite videos EVER is Here There Be Monsters. DO NOT continue reading if you have not seen this video before!! The actress is amazingly talented and I've watched this at least three times already. But the writing, the whole message behind this video is so universal and so true. She had to get strong, she HAD to fight back and when she was literally "backed in the corner," she realized she only had two choices. FIGHT OR FLIGHT. Bless her, she fought this time. Thank you ALTER, this beautiful young actress is going to go far!

[@clayclan4351]

Wait, so her escaping the buss represents her killing one of her bullies?

[@neverthesame7887]

@@clayclan4351 yes--that was my interpretation

[@chikiyabonita909]

This girl is going to be such an amazing actress..as it is she's already doing it here without speaking a word her body language her facial expressions says it all ....and she does it well congrats ALTER once again for not dissapointing us your doing waaay better than those hoolywood movies that now days have no IMAGINATION whatsoever!!!!

[@charlessomerset9754]

In Here There Be Monsters, I thought that at the height of the final confrontation, the Minotaur was simply going to throw down the book bag that she left in the bus and walk away, and by doing so show that the real monsters were the bullies on the bus. I know the ending idea was that bullies can create monsters in victims, but I'm not sure a revenge scenario was the best approach for the thousands of kids who will watch this. Great film, however. Great direction, creature design, and acting. Powerful stuff.

[@rosemarywilliams9969]

True. But in real life when you don't face and fight the monster quicker... You end up becoming a bigger monster❤

[@micahhostetter7003]

The shapeshifter monster in Oscar’s Bell was my favorite.

[@CuriousGoodsJessica]

That film hurt my heart. 😢 We have a son & 2 dogs, I'd prefer to blow out my own brains than to have that happen! (Although I've never owned a gun or even shot one, besides a 22 pellet gun at soda cans in the backyard as a kid with my Dad. I don't think I would have the clarity of mind or the time to be able to unlock a gun safe if I needed a weapon to defend myself. I would never leave it unsecured although our son is over 21 now, our dogs would probably knock over something that opened a drawer, it'd fall out, & we'd come home to find a hole in the ceiling & cops outside 😉)

I've been watching horror since the mid seventies and it takes a lot to frighten me. This series was amazing.

[@dot-hubbard-i-luv-my-beretta]

Greetings Patrizia, Ive never generally cared for "horror" films. They seemed a collection of women being brutalized, lots of running, and no plot. However recently with so many other genres becoming so dull and pc, in my search for any good storytelling, in the world, I've revisited, horror.. I must say, something has changed, I'm finding a lot of these tales, very interesting, compelling, and in debth..Also, the Asians, are telling some great stories. What do you think?.... Ps, you're probably to young, for this reference, but still to this day. The scariest thing I've seen on film, to me, was the closing scene from the original film, Spartacus. Something about a mother and her baby, riding out of town, and oh by the way, wave goodbye to daddy (Spartacus.) He's the 86th guy, from all those other crucified gents, hanging from all those crosses, that line the highway... There's no blood or gore, he's just having this onversation w them... Wish I could go with, but.., Spooky. 😲

[@GilbertoBanuelos]

I wanna say it bothered me a bit that the girl in the sleep paralysis film didn't lay back on the cough and sat down instead but I guessed there was too much on her mind to relax and the last film kind of gave me a little bit of goosebumps feel. The outro felt classic. 😅 Pleased. 😁

[@johndonny443]

I love horror antholgy films. These collections are great. Have you guys ever thought of adding a narrorator or character to introduce the segments. Rod Sterling, Cryptkeeper, Elvira type entity you creative people could develop. Then put the credits at the end. This way it would add another 15 minutes or so making these about the perfect feature length while giving them a continuety and brand that would realky tie these together. Then sell them as Horror anthology films. These would be about the best horror anthology films coming out these days. Just a thought, they work even better when it doesn't feel like a bunch of shorts put together. The other way puts them in Creepshow or Hammer territory. Just a humble suggestion

[@mariajulien-harris146]

People can be so cruel. But what is even worse giving into fear.

[@faithruckdeschel1294]

I agree, and I completely understand that we're all different with how we handle trauma but, I wish I could tell everyone who's being/or has been bullied, that they are so wonderful and it's not their fault(sometimes, bullies are ppl who were bullied themselves and they are often misguided due to the messed up ppl that raised or are raising them but they still have no right to put others thru the same pain they've experienced)but they do owe it to their self, to not become like the bully?

[@pauly362]

Oscar's Bell. Other lifeforms aren't necessarily all evil. All of the horror was committed by the father. Any evil intent by Notoscar was in the mind of father and audience.

"Hurting people hurt people." "Hurt people hurt people" is more than a clever phrase. Hurt people hurt others because they themselves have been hurt. And each one of us has been hurt to one degree or another. As that damage causes us to become defensive and self-protective, we may lash out at others. - SANDRA D. WILSON

[@SweetBabyJesusOnTheCross]

What a load of twaddle-shite that is. That's just some seemingly insightful platitude from a self-help "guru" that is completely out of touch with the reality of the relationship between the abused and the abuser as well as the specific nature (or root cause) of why that cycle continues generationally. "They hurt others because they have themselves been hurt." Jesus wept! Thanks for that Doc, how unbelievably intuitive. Who woulda guessed? Empty platitudes and posters of cats hanging off of branches are equally effective methods of healing and they both save you having to read her anecdotal, gotta-have-Jesus-to-heal nonsense. Doc Brown from Back to the Future could offer better ways to heal than her...I would apologise, but I can't stand her and I wouldn't be sincere if I did so...I'm not going to. But you're probably cool.
