One of the best written and shot horror shorts I've seen. Very well done!

[@jayhi5479]

The music at the beginning reminded me of 70's/80's Euro horror

[@septemberquest6393]

Love the ending score "don't fear the reaper"...goes well with the credits..👻

[@selma8337]

Why didin't she just stayed in the crowd? it was safe there?

[@silviagutierrez8924]

Hi! I've just bumped into your channel and I've watched a bunch of your videos and I have to say it: I love your work. I'm a huge fan of horror films and I think your short films are really good. The music, the stories, the photograpy... Everything is great. So, I just wanted to say that and I hope someday I could see one of your films in the big screen. Your work deserves it!

[@preythemantis5731]

i LOVE how those hands almost got him holy shit that was good!

[@lisalebron6190]

That was by far the best short horror film I ever saw, and I watch a lot of short horror films.

[@salsasoul4112]

Music and cinematography are very 1978 Halloween-esque. Great short. Really well done.

[@anamahmad5659]

Music starts playing on it own

"I'm going to write something truly terrifying"

[@kizzysalahuddin5593]

Yeah that clown was pretty sick wit it. Thumbs up for the clown

[@TheReelRapNerd]

I recently watched the full length movie version of this and I was confused because it was different. Now rewatching this, I see the differences. You did great work on the film but I can't lie, I like this one more! Keep it coming!

[@rose-hv6ir]

WOAH. That was so good! The quality of the film itself is amazing as well! I kinda wish this was a full film tbh

[@elizabethgaspodnetich4322]

In order to write something truly terrifying, you must first be truly terrified.

[@KatjaNX]

THIS is what true horror is and what a good twist is.

[@hpfan771]

Awesome! I absolutely love the production value and effort put into these episodes! I expect to see more!

[@rustinstardust2094]

Looking at his list and watching his various prospective stories unfold, I kept thinking, "he's wrong; the scariest creature by far is a sociopath. And it doesn't need to be in the woods at night or involve a chasing/hiding scene..." I'm glad he figured it out. Like the title, they really do live inside us.

[@madness677]

This is such a brilliant short horror film
