WHERE’S WEIRDO – Horror Short

Posted on by HorrorGhouls

A young bookstore owner accidentally unleashes a demonic creature who takes the form of a famous children’s book character.

 

Horror Short Sunday is here again, and this time we’re trying to find where Weirdo’s located! Where’s Weirdo is a horror short inspired by the famous Where’s Wally (aka Where’s Waldo) children’s book series, where you’ll look at illustrations with lots of different people, trying to locate the character. In this horror short, the character you’re going to look for is not Wally, of course, but a character that looks like The Babadook‘s brother. Fun little horror short! The short was directed and written by Duncan Peake, and the special effects, makeup and illustrations in the book were made by Tahira McCloy.
