12 Great Horror Movie Shorts You Need To See

7. Suckablood

“On dark stormy nights, the Suckablood comes…” begins this short which combines live action and stunning animation for its take on the children’s morality tale - the stories parents tell their children to keep them behaved.

The Suckablood is one such figure, who is said to come for children who suck their thumbs. But what comes is not the sort of thing that you’d want to find in a children’s book. It becomes a fairy tale of the most terrifying kind, where childhood fears meet a distinctly Old-Testament kind of justice.
