stop it
[Music]
you're gonna die for this list we'll be
looking at the greatest and scariest
short horror films you can find
and watch completely for free on youtube
quick note for you spoiler warning is
now in effect
have you seen any of these short films
let us know in the comments below
now let's get freaky number ten
it had pale skin never mind the film
itself that title is enough to give
someone shivers
running just four and a half minutes
long it had pale skin was uploaded by
christopher ashton back in march of
2016.
the short film opens up with a young
woman walking down a pitch black street
when she begins to hear noises around
her after some more bizarre events
transpire the woman sees what appears to
be a clown
in the distance
[Music]
it's not until later that viewers and
the woman get a full glimpse
it stands in the shadows smiling and
honking its own
severed nose clouds may be a little
overdone by this point but this is an
effective and creepy short
number nine never hike alone
if you want something a bit more high
gloss then never hike alone is your
movie
uploaded by womp stomp films never hike
alone is a fan made film that takes
place in the friday the 13th universe
but
you know now that i'm here i get to see
this place in person
i kind of feel sorry for it i mean aside
from your
lonesome trespassing hiker no one gets
to experience this place again
that sucks all because of some stupid
ghost story
it follows a hiker an adventure blogger
named kyle who stumbles across camp
crystal lake
and comes face to face with jason
voorhees
the film runs just over 50 minutes and
those 50 minutes are packed with
sequences that are
genuinely frightening this is
exceptional stuff for a cheap fan made
film
and it's arguably even better than some
of the official movies
it currently has over 2 million views on
youtube with many viewers singing its
praises
number eight on my way this short film
is
quite unique as it takes place on
halloween and is filmed in one
continuous shot
uploaded by make do entertainment on my
way literally follows a police officer
as he makes his way to a halloween party
but as he drives through town he makes
the unsettling realization that the
town's citizens are acting violent
and confrontational
get away from me it's a very good and
very well made short film
not only for its unbroken shot but also
its choreography
staging and filmmaking flourishes like
the police officers text messages
showing up on screen
our limited point of view also makes the
event scarier and more mysterious
and the fact that everything remains
unexplained serves as a perfect
ending
number seven daddy made by the box
lightner brothers
daddy runs in just under four minutes
resulting in a taut
and effective little film more of a
personal drama than a horror film
daddy concerns a man who dreams of his
deceased daughter you're being silly
she appears to him in the dreams
continuously calling for her daddy and
asking him to wake up
it comes across more tragic than scary
until the final jump scare when things
turn a bit more malicious
the short makes for difficult viewing as
it covers one of the saddest and most
tragic events that could ever befall a
human being
the death of a child she's here stop it
daddy mixes this with some good creep
out moments making for a troubling few
minutes
number six the maiden running at just
under nine minutes
the maiden tells the story of a real
estate agent who is haunted by a
malicious figure in an old house
not only is it scary but it's also
exceptionally well made
the lighting cinematography acting and
sound editing are all of hollywood
caliber
and it resulted in the maiden winning
the best super short horror film award
at shriekfest 2016.
the movie is directed by michael chavs
who would later go on to direct both the
curse of la
yorona and the conjuring the devil made
me do it
according to the video description it
was the maiden that got shoved foot in
the door
and eventually landed in the la yorona
job with james wan
this place is going to be great
number five vicious this 12-minute long
horror film begins with a terrifying and
grounded scenario as a woman arrives
home
to find her front door unlocked it's a
creepy scenario on the best of days
and vicious warps it into a fascinating
short horror film
that won numerous awards around the
globe it's easy to see why
you're scaring me stop it
like the maiden vicious is filmed with
an amazing eye for quality
every aspect of its production was
professionally conducted
and it would fit snugly into a high
budget hollywood horror film
[Music]
it also helps that the movie is just
plain scary
complete with near unbearable tension
and more than just its fair share of
unsettling imagery
the awards were well deserved and
vicious comes highly recommended
number four alexia an argentinian film
by andre borge
alexia has strong unfriended vibes as
most of its action takes place on a
computer screen
this short film follows a depressed and
lonely man who is grieving his deceased
ex-girlfriend on her birthday it's
insinuated that she took her own life
after the man dumped her
attempting to move on the man decides to
unfriend her on facebook
it's then that his computer begins
acting funny and he is seemingly
contacted by your spirit through the
computer
things go off the rails when his new
girlfriend comes over for a visit
the unique concept actually predates
unfriended
as alexia premiered at a horror film
festival in october 2013.
points for originality number three
mama
in 2013 a horror film called mama
grossed nearly 150 million at the box
office
it was produced by guillermo del toro
and starred both jessica chastain
and the newly famous nikolai koster
waldow it was based on the short horror
film and was directed by the same
argentinian filmmaker
andy muschietti who later went on to
direct both it
and it chapter 2. the original film runs
just under 3 minutes and it follows two
young girls who are haunted by a
supernatural entity
the short film was praised by guillermo
del toro and he decided to produce
a feature-length movie to capitalize on
the short film
its unique concept and splendid visual
scares
[Music]
the result was one of 2013's most
popular horror movies
number two 2 am the smiling man
based on the popular creepypasta this
short horror film by michael evans is
one of the most popular
on youtube the concept is simple a man
is walking down a dark street at night
when he is confronted by the titular
smiling man
the smiling man has a permanent smile
plastered on his face
he dances down the street while gazing
at the sky
and he toys with the protagonist by
lumbering towards him
in long creepy strides
[Applause]
[Music]
what the hell do you want what makes the
smiling man so popular isn't its visuals
although those are certainly scary but
the grounded realism
who hasn't been creeped out while
walking alone at night and who wouldn't
feel chilled to the bone after being
confronted by
whatever the smiling man is before we
