Let's be real: you really can't have a complete horror program without the slasher, the killer, the villain, or people just plain behaving badly. This group of short films runs the gamut from hilarious hi-jinks to creeping terror to films that somehow provide both in equal measure. There is an age-old horror debate about creature feature scares versus more "realistic" human evil scares. It is a debate I care little for since both serve a purpose (though I will always admit to loving the monsters)!
A routine "Pick Me Up" ride takes a sharp turn for the worse after the driver is reminded of a troubled past.
"Sometimes you think you know where a story is going, and sometimes what you get is one of the most thrilling and entertaining surprises that you never saw coming. It is really special when that happens, and it happened with RONALD!" -Miguel
