There\u2019s a little something for everyone here. Whether you\u2019re a fan of surreal art house shorts, cosmic horror, or classic viral clips, you\u2019re bound to find something below that will get you in the Halloween spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">This 1983 short film from Cecelia Condit found its audience over 30 years later when it was uploaded to YouTube and eventually found its way to Reddit. If you\u2019ve ever wondered what a feminist musical about cannibals directed by David Lynch would be like, wonder no more. <em>Possibly in Michigan<\/em> is only 12 minutes long, but it has inspired hours of YouTube videos dedicated to analyzing its deeply unsettling imagery and meaning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The line between horror and comedy is razor thin, and <em>Homemade Gatorade <\/em>expertly threads that line. It\u2019s bizarre, uncomfortable, and uncanny. It blends stiff animation with heavily processed video to create something quite unique. I\u2019m never sure if I should be laughing or squirming in terror with every turn this road trip short takes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Big budget cosmic horror films often make the same mistake \u2014 they try to show too much. What makes <em>Portrait of God<\/em> work is it knows less is more. So much of its short runtime is spent staring into an empty abyss. Or is it empty\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Speaking of staring intently at nothing and wondering if you did actually see anything, <em>Heck<\/em> is the short that eventually was turned into the experimental horror <em>Skinamarink<\/em>. Personally, I love <em>Skinamarink<\/em>, but I understand it\u2019s not for everyone. 100 minutes is a long time to be staring into staticky corners of a drab suburban home. <em>Heck<\/em> delivers the same tension-building quiet, but in a much more digestible 29 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">There\u2019s not much to say about this one-minute loopable short from David B Earle. It\u2019s the sort of video that did gangbusters on early YouTube. It\u2019s all abstract creepiness and nightmare-fuel visuals. If you want the full effect and need something to put on the TV at your Halloween party, put on this <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/d72wLQnzzp4\">four-hour looped version<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">No Halloween is complete without this banger from Nick Lutsko.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/entertainment\/1024096\/halloween-spirit-youtube-horror\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rather than recommend a single horror film or an unsettling album for our final installment of spooky season recs, I present you with a small selection of creepy, disturbing, and just plain weird videos from YouTube.
