Back in January, one of the things Patrick Bromley and I discussed on our episode of Horrigins was that there were a lot of amazing short films out there, but it can be hard for fans to keep up with all of the content that gets released over time. With that in mind, this writer thought it would be fun to turn the spotlight onto the short format horrors on the internet once a month with our new column, Daily Dead Salutes Your Shorts.
For this first installment, we have a terror-filled trio of short films, including Feeding Time from Matt Mercer (which was an official selection of Screamfest 2016), Jacob Johnston’s Kadence, and Furocious, by the directorial duo of Zachary Eglinton and Brandon Walz. So, sit back and enjoy some bite sized horror-fied treats, and be sure to check back next month for more great short films right here on Daily Dead!
Feeding Time (Directed by Matt Mercer): When a young woman fills in for her friend on a babysitting job, she begins to suspect things are not as they seem. She's right. Starring Graham Skipper, Stacy Snyder, and Najarra Townsend.

Kadence (Directed by Jacob Johnston): Kadence is an award-winning film that follows an emotionally fractured, homeschooled boy, Kadin (Max-Lloyd Jones, War for the Planet of the Apes) as he has a chance encounter with an enigmatic new neighbor, Marissa (Alyson Stoner, Step Up franchise, Camp Rock). Sensing an unspoken cry for help, she offers him a supernatural solution: a blessed doll that carries the power to kill or revive. Kadence also features Jaime Gallagher (Know Your Enemy, Trapped), Bailey Chase (24: Legacy, Longmire, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and Zane Holtz (From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, The Perks of Being a Wallflower).

FUROCIOUS (Directed by Zachary Eglinton and Brandon Walz): A delivery guy and his two stupid friends encounter a man in a bear costume. Starring Zachary Eglinton, Brandon Walz, Andrew Nathaniel Morris, and CB Mullen.
