Megamix of Animated Monster/Horror/Goth short films
Ratings/Content Warning stuff:
Family = Kids can watch it.
Adult = Kids can’t watch it but teenagers can. Contains swearing and adult situations
Horror = Classic horror/thriller with some good scares and creepy imagery.
Goth = Less horror and more on the macabre or suspense side of things.
Surreal = Weird stuff that crosses into the other genres.
Comedy = Funny stuff w. maybe some cuteness too.
Drama = Horror and monsters used to make you sad or tell a gripping story.
GORE = Take this as your Trigger Warning. Films with this label are gorey and not for the faint of heart in that department.
MATURE = Not for kids; contains disturbing subject matter such as abuse or sexual encounters.
ENJOY!
