Hello, everyone! Welcome back for another installment of our “Sunday Shorts” series, which is part of Daily Dead’s 2022 Indie Horror Month celebration. Last weekend, we brought you a collection of killer horror shorts (you can check out last Sunday’s selections HERE), and now we’re back with four more bites of fright for you to enjoy.
Today’s “Sunday Shorts” selections include Andy Chen’s Close Your Eyes, La Oscuridad (The Darkness) by Jorge Sistos Moreno, Aaron Fradkin’s The Ballerina, and Pains from Justin Brooks.
