The Tale of Haunted Mike, one of Fewdio’s longest shorts, weighing in at nearly a whopping twelve minutes, is another worthy addition to the Fewdio horror lineup, and quite possibly one of its best by virtue of having a full storyline with several choice twists.
Mike makes good money on eBay selling items that he claims are “haunted”, a practice that makes me wonder if he used to read X-Entertainment back in the days of the Infinity Fortuna Spell Kit. But when Mike finds a particularly unusual antique thanks to his bid-sniping ways, a child’s prosthetic arm, all hell is about to break loose for the “haunted” curio merchant.
This is great for a lot of reasons–one, people are selling this kind of stuff on eBay every day, and probably making a fair living at it, so it’s got the ring of plausibility to it. Two, it’s got that great Fewdio style to it, featuring lots of gruesome makeup effects and the like–for instance, when you finally see the “ghost”, you’ll be pretty freaked out too. Also watch for the computer monitor effects. And three, once again, the twists throughout–not just at the ending–are the kind of thing we’ve almost come to expect from these guys.
There’s a lot to love here, so get it while you can–these guys could EASILY charge for this.
