Ain’t that a shame. – Fats Domino
I’m so fucking annoyed by the state of short horror video. I watched over a dozen short horror films on YouTube to find one for this column, and what did I find? Predictable and not-at-all-scary jump scares. Over and over again. So I threw up my hands in despair and featured a video by the late Fats Domino. The links above it were contributed by Elizabeth N. Brown (“faking”), Angela Keaton (“period”), Emma Evans (“want”), Tushy Galore (“language”), Radley Balko (“laws” and “together”).
