“Well, where did it go?” “I can’t see…” Here’s an easy-to-watch funny horror comedy short to get you in the mood for the spooky season. And make you laugh while feeling uncomfortably threatened by a large, furry creature. October is always the best time to enjoy more horror short films. A Bear in the Woods is a 10-minute horror comedy short made by filmmaker Andrew Laurich – he wrote & directed it. “A hungry bear tests the relationship of two campers.” They’re on a romantic camping trip looking to take their relationship to the next level, but a bear decides to intervene. And the two end up having some difficult conversations. “I was hoping to successfully thread horror & comedy, but make it actually feel scary,” Laurich explains. The film stars Mimi Michaels and Will Ropp. The big gnarly bear looks pretty good – definitely will scare you.

Thanks to Short of the Week for the tip on this one. Here’s the brief intro via YouTube: “A horror / comedy where the scariest element is dating in the modern age.” Ha.
