I've noticed a new YouTube channel called "fewdiodotcom" which specializes in making short horror films. I saw my first one today, and it is one of the most effective short horror films I have ever seen although there is no on-screen gore and the film is barely over a minute long:

I was afraid that this short was going to end in the same way as a well-known urban legend about a woman being followed by a car at night. Fortunately, this was not the case and the ending was genuinely chilling:

"Road Rage"

Not Fewdio, but the director of this film wrote "Mockingbird".

"New Toy"

The less I say about this short, the better. The title is all the information you need.

Two outta three ain't bad.

"The Many Doors of Albert Whale"

Why does Albert label every door in his house and meticulously make sure that he does not open any new door until the old one is closed? The answer may surprise you!

For those of you still confused about the film, you might want to click on the additional spoiler below:

"There's No Such Thing"

Later on in this thread, somebody asked me if I was recommending all of these shorts equally. That is a very good question. This may be Drew Daywalt's best short and that's saying a lot. A young mother is reading bedtime stories to her daughter who is worried about the bogieman getting to her. You may think you know where this is going, but you're wrong. I notice that a lot of commentators on YouTube are making excuses for the end of this story, pretending it doesn't show what it is showing. That's the mark of a GREAT horror story, no matter how short it is.

"Cursed"

A cerebral short from Drew Daywalt. A man hires a hit man to kill himself---but why can't he pull the own trigger? And why is he telling a long-winded story about God (who's an asshole) and the Garden of Eden?

I liked Curse.

"Doppleganger"

In this short from Drew Daywalt, a woman gets a phone call from her husband begging her not to come home because his evil double is waiting for her there.

"Mannequin"

A young girl who is NOT named Rose Tyler discovers a creepy mannequin that follows her home. Christopher Eccleston does NOT make an appearance!

"Trapped"

Confession---I didn't watch the end of this short. I posted this when I was adding youtube links willy nilly. A babysitter discovers an uneasy resemblance between her charge's dolls and the previous babysitters who watched over her.

"Room 19"

This short from Drew Daywalt is funnier than it's scary, but we do learn that Daywalt is a HUGE fan of the 70's series Kolchak: The Night Stalker. A security guard is hired to do the night shift at the warehouse and discovers a room that nobody else wants to go inside. What possible reason could that be?

"Kindred"

A terminally ill hit man is hired to kill a man the local crime boss wants dead. When something goes wrong, he discovers a connection with his victim that he didn't expect. This short feels like the pilot to a continuing series.

"Judged"

Another horror film from Drew Daywalt. Two cops are transporting a psycho killer in the back seat of their squad car, and they intend to save taxpayers the money they would spend to prosecute, incarcerate, and execute this killer. But the psycho knows something that the cops don't...

So are you going to post all of Youtube here Eddie, or is it possible you could just let people look for things on their own?

"Knock"

A girl studying for a test on the War of 1812 is disturbed by mysterious knocking late at night.

And he just keeps on posting...
We get it Eddie. You like these movies, but enough is enough.

I don't mind that - though I hardly have the time to watch all of them and I wonder if he recommends them all equally. I'd try to be more selective in my recommendations - but perhaps he already is doing that. I can't tell without watching them all, and I'm not going to do that.

In fact, I hardly have the time to wait for this page to finish loading. Maybe it's my old software, but numerous you tube links seem to take forever to load before I can even scroll through this page - just as huge animations similarly take forever to load first.

Maybe (I dunno) it would be faster if each you tube link was labeled but then hidden within a spoiler tag? So you really only have to download the ones you open. Would that help, do you think?

Yes. No video would load unless you deliberately clicked to unspoil it.

I have to be blunt, I did get into the pattern of just loading up the horror shorts I found on YouTube, and while I do like most of them not all of them I would recommend equally. I might try to limit the videos to only one or two per page and leave the commentary for the rest. In the meantime, let me add spoiler tags for the videos I've already uploaded.

Road Rage was pretty good, Teddy. I'm glad you posted the ending wasn't the urban legend, other wise I might have skipped it missing out on a brilliant movie.
