2/22/22 -- Return of the Doppelganger

It's the second day of twos, so we're bringing you another short film featuring a doppelganger. More specifically, we're bringing you a short film featuring a doppelganger again. (We first featured this excellent Drew Daywalt chiller on October 31, 2012.)

As is fitting, there are two ways to interpret the events that unfold during the film. We'll leave it up to you to figure out what the two interpretations may be. But you're welcome to use the Comments section below to share them with the world.

Doppleganger (2010)
Starring: Reagan Dale Neis and Brad Light
Director: Drew Daywalt
Rating: Eight of Ten Stars

31 Nights of Halloween: Selfie

The big night is here... and Drew Daywalt brings us one more, well-constructed mini-chiller to kick it off. Will you be taking any selfies this Halloween? (Daywalt mixes up the closing jump scare a bit. That earns this one another star.)

Selfie (2013)
Starring: Jenny Kendall Jones
Director: Drew Daywalt
Rating: Eight of Ten Stars

31 Nights of Halloween: The Old Chair

I'm a fan of Drew Daywalt, and I think after this little cautionary tale about deals off Craigslist, you will be too. (If his previous films I've featured here at Terror Titans haven't converted you already.)

The Old Chair (2012)
Starring: Kaylee Score and AJ Bowen
Director: Drew Daywalt
Rating: Ten of Ten Stars

31 Nights of Halloween: Jack

This is the shortest of all the short films featured during the 31 Nights of Halloween film festival. It's also one of the subtlest. Blink and you'll miss something really creepy....

Jack (2010)
Starring: Abigail Daywalt
Director: Drew Daywalt
Rating: Nine of Ten Stars

31 Nights of Halloween: The Closet

A pair of sisters plan a surprise for their Mom on her birthday; what could possibly go wrong? (Well, this IS the Terror Titans blog, and IS a mini-film from Drew Daywalt, so whatever goes wrong, it's probably pretty horrifying.)

The Closet (2011)
Starring: Brea Grant, Kaylee Score, and Bonnie Aarons
Director: Drew Daywalt
Rating: Eight of Ten Stars

31 Nights of Halloween: Bedfellows

Here's the first film for his year's 31 Nights of Halloween from multi-talented director/author Drew Daywalt. He's one of my favorite creators of micro-horror films.

Starring Kerry Finlayson
Director: Drew Daywalt

It's early Easter morning at the Daywalt household... and something's not quite right.

31 Nights of Halloween: Ninja Clown Monster

And here we are, on Horror Night--Halloween!
                 
Tomorrow, the monsters will give way to Ninjas, as we celebrate the annual Nine Days of the Ninja across the Cinema Steve blog-network (and anywhere else people might choose to participate).

By way of transitioning, I offer you one final short film from the good folks at Fewdio... the tale of a boy and his clown doll.

31 Nights of Halloween: Doppleganger

Welcome to the big day! This is one of two (maybe more!) short films that will be appearing here on Terror Titans, as I wrap up our month-long 31 Nights of Halloween "short film festival"!

Today's offering can be taken at least two ways, which is fitting for a film titled "Doppleganger." I'll leave it up to you to figure out what the two interpretations may be. But you're welcome to use the Comments section below to share them with the world.

Doppleganger (2010)
Starring: Reagan Dale Neis and Brad Light

31 Nights of Halloween: There's No Such Thing

We're just a few days for the night when the monsters run wild, and we're down to the final few of the 31 Nights of Halloween here at Terror Titans.

 I'm sure you'll agree that we've saved the best for last; this tale of a mother, daughter, and bedtime is one that might stay with you a while....


There's No Such Thing (2010)
Starring: Azure Parsons and Abigail Daywalt
Director: Drew Daywalt
Rating: Nine of Ten Stars

31 Nights of Halloween: The Tale of Haunted Mike

With a ghost story, it's all in the telling. No one knew that better than Haunted Mike. Knew.

Directors: Drew Daywalt and David Schneider

Rating: Eight of Ten Stars

31 Nights of Halloween: Five Minutes Earlier

It's the fourth Monday of October... and it's time for another short film as part of the ongoing Terror Titans 31 Nights of Halloween horror celebration.

If you hear a knock at your door in the middle of the night, you probably should be a little more careful than the young lady in today's story. You might at the very least grab a bathrobe, or put some pants on... although not doing so might lead to a fun time all-around.


Five Minutes Earlier (2009)
Starring: Brooke Wolfe
Director: Drew Daywalt
Rating: Six of Ten Stars

Brooke Wolfe isn't wearing pants in this photo either. Maybe it's a religious thing.

31 Nights of Halloween: Smoke

Today's film is a tribute to the psychological horror tales of Edgar Allan Poe. It's the story of a man who gets away with murder... almost. It's another excellent offering from Drew Daywalt.

Smoke (2008)
Starring: Paul Hungerford
Directors: Drew Daywalt and David Schneider
Rating: Eight of Ten Stars

31 Nights of Halloween: Conviction

It's the second Monday of October, so here's another short film as part of Terror Titan's 31 Nights of Halloween celebration.

Today's offering is a shocking little excursion into Lovecraftian existentialism and tentacle horror.


Conviction (2009)
Starring: Zoe Simpson
Director: Drew Daywalt
Rating: Nine of Ten Stars

31 Nights of Halloween: Scare

As part of the month-long Halloween celebration here at Terror Titans, every single day until Halloween, we're presenting a different horror short film that you can watch right here!

Kicking things off, we submit for your consideration the tale of an unsuspecting motorist and a pair of pranksters looking to launch the next viral video craze....

Directors: Drew Daywalt and Paul Hungerford
Rating: Seven of Ten Stars

In celebration of the PAX convention

This weekend, the PAX game convention takes place in Seattle. Here's a computer game-themed short film from Drew Daywalter to remind all you out there to be careful what you play....
