Hello again, readers! Welcome back to another installment of Daily Dead Salutes Your Shorts, our bi-monthly celebration of short-form genre-related films that spotlight several amazing filmmakers and a wide variety of stories perfect for all types of viewers. For this round of horror shorts, we have Larry from director Jacob Chase on hand, as well as the raucous Death Metal by Chris McInroy, Tye Gibson and Nick Johnson’s tribute to silent filmmaking, tEXt, and the creature feature short My Pet Norman from Andrew Pledger.
Larry (Directed by Jacob Chase): "A man. A parking lot. A friendship."
---------
Death Metal (Directed by Chris McInroy): "Death Metal is a practical effects driven horror comedy about a metalhead who inherits a satanic guitar that riffs to shreds."
---------
tEXt (Directed by Tye Gibson & Nick Johnson): "A modern day take on silent films blended with horror."
---------
My Pet Norman (Directed by Andrew Pledger): "We all had a pet growing up whether it was a goldfish, dog, or a turtle, but this boy owns a different kind of pet. A strange pet that has an unusual appetite. One night after feeding his pet it starts acting bizarre."
