Everything is Terrible! is a group whose sole purpose is to take the most hilariously awful VHS tapes they can find, and post them on YouTube for everyone to loathe or enjoy, depending on their sense of humor. What’s perhaps more weird than the video itself is the thought that whoever made this was, more than likely, a little serious when doing so.

After reviewing Zachary Oberzan‘s one-man Rambo adaptation Flooding with Love for the Kid, we thought it would be appropriate to shine a little spotlight on a short of his as well. Although this clip is an abridged version of the complete short film, the pleasantly weird storyline is still intact.
It’s Halloween weekend again, and we went out of our way to select an extra special treat this year. Bennett Cain’s “Seed” is the most horrifying short we’ve had the privilege of introducing you to since our first Saturday Short, “Crooked Rot“. Enjoy.

One week remains in Electric Cinema’s competition Electric Shorts, and honestly, all of the seven finalists deserve to win. We selected two for our site as merely a sample of the competition, but the two selected show no favoritism on our part. They were all well written and directed, and plenty weird. The process of selection was, more or less, a game of eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Note: “Bistro” stars Peter Capaldi of Lair of the White Worm.

Even a boy’s talent for sketching pictures that come to life can’t make him “cool” in this animated fable about the ups and downs of childhood popularity. Joy and Noelle Vaccese have done numerous bumpers for film festivals, and we love their trade name: “Twins are Weird.”
