What? Why would I make such a ridiculous pronouncement? Why, we’ve only handled two out of ten–how can I announce blithely that thirty percent of the show can’t be reviewed!
Simple–we’ve already reviewed them.
Three out of ten shorts in the show’s lineup will prove familiar to Screenhead readers, especially Bedfellows, Mockingbird and Shadow Puppets.
They’re FEWDIO SHORTS.
Yes, your jaw has likely dropped in stunned awe–mine sure did–to discover that fully thirty percent of the 2009 Halloween Horror Nights short film contest is occupied by Fewdio, and I’d just like to express my condolences to everybody else up front. Because despite the fact that I’ve seen some decent shorts so far–Chinese Chiller comes readily to mind–chances are, you can’t beat Fewdio.
Odds are really long that you’ll beat Mockingbird.
I’m sorry, there it is. Mockingbird was easily one of the scariest things I’ve seen in a long time and I’ve been watching scary movies since I was twelve. The rest of the show is going to have to bring some serious scary to bear to compete with the boys out at Fewdio, and if they can even play in the same league, then we should be in for a great show.
