BRIDE OF 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN! DAY 20: "LIGHTS OUT" HORROR SHORT!

One of the scariest feelings I experience (and I imagine most other people experience as well) is that feeling that there's something in the dark waiting for you. No matter the comfort and familiarity of the setting, darkness fills everything with sinister possibility.

"Lights Out," a short film from 2013, plays with this idea beautifully. We've all had that experience of something looking alien, looming, and terrible in the dark, only to have it turn out to be nothing when the lights are turned on. In "Lights Out," turning the lights on doesn't help, and therein lies the horror.
