‘The Thing In The Apartment’ Is Terrifyingly Good (Watch)

Short horror films set out to squeeze the terror and suspense of a horror film into only a few minutes which is a difficult task. A few days ago I watched a short film titled The Thing in the Apartment, written and directed by John William Ross, that left me very impressed and we have it here to share with you. The film, starring Melia Renee as “Sam” and Carly Jones as “Lindsey”, follows a young a woman who suddenly sees a creature in her apartment and flees in terror. The monster, played by Ryan Allan Young, is so terrifying that it leaves her in shock. After calling her friend, the two return to her apartment where things go from bad to worse.

‘Goodnight, Gracie’, A Chilling Wide-Awake Nightmare

Goodnight, Gracie, a new short film written and directed by Stellan Kendrick, is a creepy, beautifully filmed, horrific tale about faith, family, childhood fears, and things that go bump in the night. The cast and crew screening for Goodnight, Gracie, was held at Evidence Film Studios in Los Angeles, a fantastic venue that the film’s producers had taken full advantage of. Moody multi-colored lights everywhere, music pumping, specialty film-themed cocktails flowing, clips of various well known, and not so well known horror films clips played on the white cyclorama that took up the huge corner of the warehouse style space, and concept art and storyboards covered the walls like a bloody murderous East Village art show. There were about 100 people in attendance, dressed to the nines, laughing and buzzing around the space, taking photos with the movie props in front of the faux brick wall step-and-repeat with the ingenious self-taking photo set up. The air of excitement and relief
