10 Creepy Animated Horror Shorts To Watch This Halloween

8. CGI 3D Horror Short Film (CGMeetup)

Created by Riff and Alternate Studio, this short film doesn't have much of a title beyond what's written above, and its description labelling it as nothing more than "Horror Short Film".

Despite not having the most memorable name, this film is one of the best made animated short films on YouTube, using evocative and masterful 3D animation to portray its story. It follows a young girl who sees her parents turn into horrifying monsters - both figuratively, as she witnesses domestic abuse, and literally, as it goes from an uneasy, sad and distressing family story into full on, nightmare-inducing supernatural horror.

This short not only tells an excellent story with frightening visuals and audio, it's also meant to showcase the skills of CGI, VFX, 3D and digital artists with a collaborative piece, and it does it in the most beautifully terrifying way imaginable.

With intelligent symbolism and excellent storytelling without dialogue, this is the short to watch to get your heart pumping on a stormy night.
