Do you know someone who doesn't share the same passion for Halloween as you? Here are two short films that may help them see the beauty and fun of Halloween.

I Hate Halloween - A musical filmed inside a haunted house about the magic of Halloween.

The Spirit of Halloween - Reuniting on Halloween after several years apart, two childhood friends decide to go out for the night and discover the Spirit of Halloween for themselves.

I hope you enjoy this week's short films, both beautifully shot.

Project Casper -  An unexpected, costumed guest at a Halloween party takes a special interest in the host.

Long Way - Stranded at school on Halloween, two young boys set out on a daunting walk home. When they decide to take a cue from their surroundings and become would-be trick-or-treaters, their journey gets derailed and they find themselves lost and alone in the city.

For your viewing pleasure, here is another round of Halloween short films:

All Saints Day - Set on a New York stoop the day after Halloween, this short film stars Mamie Gummer and Benjamin Walker.

How My Dad Killed Dracula - A Halloween practical joke turns a family tradition into a night of comic terror when two young teens don't believe their cousin's dad killed Dracula.

No One Will Ever Believe You - It's Halloween and Lucy wants to give a good scare to her sister by dressing up as a monster. But she might not be the only creature lurking in the teenager's room.

 

Jo and the Pirates - Jo, a fourteen year old girl living in foster care, gets into a fight on Halloween. While hiding from her bullies, she discovers a strange piece of metal in the woods that teleports her onto the bridge of a ship crewed by space pirates.

Been busy adding lots of Halloween short films to my YouTube playlist. Here are some worth mentioning:

Wendy - Wendy doesn't have a costume and her Mom won't get out of bed. Wendy has to rely on her own ingenuity and the help of her imaginary friends to create a costume for her first night of trick-or-treating.

Night of the Witch - It's 1989 and there's a horrid legend. A tale of a Maddy Martha the evil witch who comes out on Hallows Eve to kill those who party and sin.

Shelly - When three high-school seniors discover a sexy demon in the bathtub after a Halloween party, their night takes a romantic, and dangerous, turn.

Sheeties - How do fetishists get off on dressing like old-fashioned ghosts? Sheeties, a mockumentary exploring this haunting lifestyle, explores this heretofore hidden fetish.

Added two new songs to the Halloween music playlist from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Part 3, the "Straight to Hell" music video and "Devil's Worst Nightmare". And when listening to the playlist, here are some tips. The playlist was designed to be played in order. But with over 14 hours of music, that is a lot to listen to! So just choose a song to start with and allow the playlist to take you through that section's genre/style of music. As for the videos themselves, I chose them mostly because of their sound quality. Finally, if you play the playlist with the window minimized or behind another window in your browser, YouTube will usually skip most of the commercials.
