Scary Little F*ckers (2015) Horror Movie Short Films
Scary Little Fuckers: A Christmas Movie
I picked Scary Little Fuckers (2015) simply because it has swear words in the title. Sometimes this is a good indicator of a film being above average and sometimes not. In this case, settle in for a 23-minute jingle with some gremlin-like critters who also like to get a little wet. In Scary Little Fuckers, they are called Fookahs.
What is a Fookah?
A Fookah is a terrible creature. Like the Gremlins in the Gremlins movie, these Fookahs were the result of a gift at Christmastime.
Directed by Nathan Suher and written by Lenny Schwartz. The cast for the Scary Little F*ckers movie includes Josh Fontaine, Anna Rizzo, Rich Tretheway, and Monica Saviolakis. Produced by IM Filmworks.

Treevenge — A Classic Must-See Horror Movie Short Film (2015)
Trust me when say this Christmas horror short film is a must-see. Treevenge is stupidly funny and over-the-top gore is something you don’t expect when you think your Christmas tree might be out to kill you. Somehow though Treevenge just works well and induces a sick kind of laughter to go along with it. Somewhere in the vicinity of “Who thinks up this stuff?” and “What did I just watch?” is Treevenge.
Written and directed by Jason Eisener with co-written by Rob Cotterill. The cast for Treevenge includes Jonathan Torrens, Sarah Dunsworth, Maris Morgan, and Jayden Taylor. From Yer Dead Productions.

Elf on the Shelf (2016) Horror Short Story
Another short film, Elf on the Shelf is one I found and watched based entirely on the title. The Elf on the shelf breaks all the rules. If you know how Elf on the Shelf works, you will automatically know that you aren’t allowed to touch the Elf or he loses all his magic. Not so here, this short film begins with a lovely-looking young lad asleep with the Elf in his arms. Everyone knows you’re not allowed to touch the elf or he loses all his magic. This is just another lie we tell children so their elves don’t revert to their evil counterparts and kill everyone.
Written and directed by Gabriel Younes. Elf on the Shelf cast includes Travis Balkin, Ryan Barton, Connor McGee, and Whitney Moore. This one is 2 minutes long and is from Crypt TV.

As if Christmas-themed horror movies couldn’t get any more anti-Christmas, there is this little hidden gem. The Humbug movie is 7 minutes long and will keep you on your toes story-wise. It begins with a cool idea of summoning an evil Santa.
Directed by Justin Lee and Matt Thiesen. Written by Milly Sanders. “Humbug” movie cast includes Jessee Foudrayn and, Milly Sanders. Brought to you by Sinisisters Presents.

Jingle Bell Run (2017) – Horror Short Films Youtube Channel
It’s Christmas and I went on a random search for random horror short films. Jingle Bell Run is most likely to be the cheapest one to make. Its 4-minute run time is just short enough so that you haven’t completely wasted your time and long enough to want to see it through. I kind of like it though. It even manages to work in some inaccuracies found in many popular films in the genre like being incapacitated when you’re probably fine.
A film by Jonathan Chan. Starring Bruno Aparicio and William Lew, it’s a great reminder for filmmakers to get out there and give their ideas a voice.
