Here is a 98-minute collection of terrifying shorts from the US and Canada!
LOOK TWICE: A night surveillance security guard spots a trespasser on the property; then regrets grabbing their attention once he realizes the intruder is paranormal.
I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW: Awoken in the middle of the night, a woman and her partner discover eerie connections in the nightmare she just had, only to realize they might not be alone in their new house.
THE RELIC: A group of adventurers get more than they bargained for in search of an ancient legend.
BACKWARD CREEP: A group of cosplayers driving to an anime convention are haunted by a supernatural entity after reading a cursed Manga.
ENDGAME: A father’s cautionary tale about internet safety turns sinister when the lines between truth and fiction are blurred.
KILLJOY: When Joy is granted a restraining order from Simon, her friends pressure her to throw a party and celebrate her freedom. But as the party intensifies and her friends start acting strangely, Joy becomes convinced that Simon has found her - causing the night, and her psyche, to spiral out of control.
PELICAN MILKSHAKE: The middle of nowhere seems the perfect location to dispose of a corpse. But the middle of nowhere calls all sorts. Fresh in the act of burying her victim, a killer is caught red handed by a hovering drone. Covering up her crime just became a whole lot more bloody complicated.
LOGAN LEE &THE RISE OF THE PURPLE DAWN: Logan Lee is in love with his best friend, Beatrice Pan, and tonight, she's throwing a party! That
means DJ Logan's Fun is in the HOUSE! Now if only he wasn't so nervous. But not to fear, Auntie Bobbie is here with some of the rarest weed she's ever laid lungs on, Purple Dawn. Unfortunately, Logan soon discovers there's much more to this strain than its soothing effects.
THE CLAW: The lead singer of a Seattle punk band struggles to keep it together when her performance anxiety takes an unexpected form.
