Pumpkin Guts

By Bryan M Ferguson

It happens to someone every Halloween. Follow the rules. Don't get pinched.

Ferguson’s short premiered earlier this year Fantastic Fest in Austin Texas, while also screening at Beyond Fest as part of the festival’s shorts lineup, followed by its UK premiere at London Short Film Festival. The reviews have been glowing and the short was recently included in Variety’s Best Horror List.

The filmmaker describes it as After Hours set on Halloween night but recommends approaching it with as little prior knowledge as possible. However, it's worth noting that the movie was made on a shoestring budget of just $800—a truly remarkable feat considering its impressive production quality.
