After dusting off an old Mystery-Date style board game, a mother and daughter realize the game holds more evil than amusement.

“Your Date Is Here” is a simple yet still effective horror short, by the same people that also brought us “Mikus“. A girl wants to play a board game with her mother, a really old one that belonged to her grandmother. The game is simply called “Your Date Is Here”, a girly and seemingly cute game. After a little while, however, it turns out that the game should have been left on the top shelf never to be played again…

Posted on March 17, 2019June 24, 2024 by HorrorGhouls

While walking home late one night, a man notices another man walking as well. Only this man has an eerie smile. What are his intentions?

“2AM: The Smiling Man” is a horror short based on redditor Blue_tidal’s story, originally posted on the subreddit r/LetsNotMeet in 2012. It grew quickly in popularity, and caught Michael Evan’s attention, who decided to make a horror short based on it. At first it may appear a little silly, but it does have a sinister vibe to it where you can easily imagine that if you were in this situation yourself, it would scare the crap out of you.
