I found these through ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sf_drama's creepypasta Halloween post and thought I would share them. They're a pair of short films by a team of independent filmmakers.
Cleansed. Warnings for blood and references to domestic violence. A crime-scene cleaner enters the site of a horrific murder and finds more than blood on the walls.
Bedfellows. No warnings here, just a creep factor of ten. Have fun sleeping tonight.
These same filmmakers have an entire Youtube channel full of these films. Some of them are mediocre, but a few of them pack a wallop.
For Halloween films of the feature-length variety, I recommend these:
-the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This film has an undeserved reputation as a gorefest, but aside from a few scenes, there is very little blood or gore. This movie isn't a splatter flick; it's an unrepentant mindfuck, and there are parts so disturbing that to dwell on them for long invites a bout of the screaming memes.
-the original Halloween. The later sequels devolved into hokum, but the first two are unnerving. Houses and hospitals are supposed to be sanctuaries, but they're not.
-Session 9. Oh, dear God. A deeply-unsettling picture that raises the question of internal versus external evil. If Gordon wasn't insane when he went into the asylum, he was when he came out.
-The Blair Witch Project. Yes, the acting was often histrionic, but the symbols in the woods and the final scene were so haunting that I slept with the lights on for a week after my first viewing.
-the American version of The Ring. The TV. Oh, God, the TV.
For more child-friendly fun, you can't go wrong with Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island or Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost.
For a scary read, I recommend ""Lunch at the Gotham Cafe". Eeeeeee. Eeeeeee.
