AudPop’s Top 5 Scariest Horror Shorts

July 12, 2022

We love scary horror shorts!

We’re excited to highlight the Top 5 Scariest Horror Shorts from our streaming platform. Several spine-chilling, pulse-racing films have been submitted to us over the years, and we couldn’t pass up mentioning them. Especially since we’re launching a new Horror Film Challenge this month.

We love horror films and want to line up your scariest films for Halloween this year. Plus, we’ll announce the winners of our new 2022 Horror Film Challenge in October, just in time for the scariest holiday.

In the meantime, we decided to spotlight our Top 5 Scariest Horror Shorts because they’re scary, thrilling, and great inspiration for our 2022 Horror Film Challenge that’s currently up and running.

Get ready for a fright!

Romain and Thibault Lafargue won 1st Place in our 2016 Horror Shorts Film Festival with their film, The Scared One.

AudPop's Top 5 Scariest Horror Films - Hush - Michael Kehoe

Michael Kehoe won our 2014 Bloody Shorts Video Contest with his film, Hush. Of course, a horror short about a babysitter watching a young girl on a stormy, dark night is always scary. You’ll need to watch Kehoe’s film to see what’s hiding in the house.
