There are a few ways to be an enthusiast of the season of fall. You can go apple picking. You can keep a hot soup on the stove at all times. You can decorate with festive pumpkins and gourds.
Our preferred method of getting into the autumnal spirit, however, is to settle into our comfiest seat in our coziest sweats and watch the Curation Team’s latest spooky Staff Pick selections. There’s just something about silly zombies and double-booked murders that really puts us in the Halloween mood.
A few of our favorite short films giving autumnal energy
This year, the team has curated three Staff Picks that are less scare-your-pants-off films and more imaginative, lighthearted spins on horror. Best paired with your favorite trick-or-trick candy or a cup of anything mulled, you can sink into these watches without needing a nightlight.
“ Murder Camp” by Clara Aronovich
What’s funnier than the logistics of two killers double-booking their planned murders? Surprisingly touching and with plenty of twists, you’ll be impressed by the acting in this short.
“We Forgot About the Zombies” by Chris McInroy
The most action-packed, silly, and — warning — gory three minutes in zombie history.
“Sushi Noh” by Jayden Rathsam Hua
If you ever wanted to see sushi, manifestation practices, and a dash of horror combined, this one’s for you. You’ll never look at fish the same way.
