Fun Size Horror Short Film Premiere Day 1: Happy Birthday

Beginning this week, Shock Till You Drop is hosting a series of horror short films that fall under the “Fun Size Horror” banner which was created by filmmaker Zeke Penheiro. All of the Fun Size Horror shorts have been independently produced by a wide range of filmmakers including Josh Waller, Glen Murakami, Mali Elfman, with participating actors Lance Reddick, Rose McIver, Tracie Thoms, Brea Grant, Amy Dallen, Victor Webster and Diva Zappa.

Today, we bring you “Happy Birthday” from writer-director Erin Stegeman (Roadside) and producer Ace Marrero (Madison County). Stegeman also appears in the short as “Mommy.” She’s joined by young Nev Scharrel (the birthday girl) and Victor Webster as “Daddy.”

In the short: “Sophia is turning six and her cardigan-clad parents have put together the perfect party, including a very special surprise.” You can watch this bloody tale below.

Each short film we host will only be up for 24 hours before being replaced by the next day’s horror film so make sure to catch them while they’re up. 

Other Fun Size Horror shorts are debuting on Dread Central, Bloody-Disgusting, Collider and Hit Fix, so be sure to check those out as well!
