Welcome to our Video Vaults of Horror (creepy cackle, unsettling echo)!
Over the years hundreds of terrifying tales that witness madness have been sent to our crypt of fear and this is a chance for us to enter our graveyard of greatest hits at this witching hour and dig up a fresh one to play with…
So then boys and ghouls here is a selection of scary shorts from some of the most disturbed minds to escape from the asylum and grab a camera…
If you want to add to our compendium of creeps with a sick little short, or fear filled flick of your own, then don’t forget to send it to us here at the Broadway Media Centre and soon our vaults shall be over flowing with fresh blood, like a wine cellar full of something… er… wine… oh dear I’ve run dry of puns from horror's pun factory...

The Ten Steps Dir Brendan Muldowney 2004 A truly terrifying short, one of the all time favourite films of our festival audiences. Cranking up the suspense throughout until the ridiculously spooky ending, TheTen Steps is the stuff of nightmares and will stick with you for ages after watching it. |
 |
Cold Blood Dir Steve Looker 2006 Old school, pure slasher homage to John Carpenter, much better than any Halloween remake! |
 |
To His Knees He Fell Dir Andrew Brand 2005 Creepy, unsettling modern ghost tale plays brilliantly with the classic stories of MR James and the legendary hound of hell The Black Shuck. A seaside clash between this world and the supernatural |
 |
Zombie Undead Dir Rhys Davies 2007 Part grisly short, part pilot for an eagerly expected feature, Zombie Undead is a shuffling dead cert as a British horror classic in the making. Watch this space. |
 |
The Hand Dirs Dave Lilley and Stephen Gray 2007 An exercise in fear, sustained and effectively executed, don’t watch this one alone with the lights out – no wait a minute – DO watch this one alone with the lights out! |
 |
Through A Vulture Eye Dir Steven Sheil. 2006 Made in one night on a zero budget, Through A Vulture Eye is a brilliantly paranoid modern take on the Tell Tale Heart, and as stark a warning about answering the small-ads as you could ever wish for. |
 |
Conceptual Dir Owen Tooth. 2004 The border between art and madness, chaos and beauty in a gallery that is a deadly trap for one casual viewer. A stylish almost Argento-esque early film a regular contributor to the Festival. |
 |
A Hiss in the Wind Dir Owen Davies. 2006 Ramblers be warned! Some things, particularly protected swans, are best left alone. As are the locals around here – a strange, surreal and hilarious tale of village lore and the consequences of breaking ancient by-laws. |
 |
Nose Hair Dir James Sharpe 2006 When Kelly spots a particularly unsightly nasal hair on her boyfriend she will do anything to get rid of it. Little details like that can kill. Sick, bloody and brainy fun from Sharpe. |
 |
Get Got Dir Matt Taylor 2004 Horror, Violence, Mayhem… A short and sweet zombie flick, pure and simple… but also very funny, Get Got marked the debut of great new regional filmmaking talent. |
 |
Cry Steven Sheil 2005 Playing out almost like the last reel of a long lost, twisted feature, Sheil’s kinetic Cry is a fractured, disturbing journey into the snapped mind of our protagonist, a young woman who has already had to slaughter her family to survive. |
 |
Inside Dir John Ross 2005 An unsettling supernatural and psychological narrative, tightly wound and claustrophobically staged, Inside is like some forgotten Polanski short, surreal and nightmarish. |
 |
The Weight John and Tom Turrell 2006 A cautionary tale, those small ads seem to constantly invite the unwanted attention of lunatics and here the Turrell Brothers find an hysterical balance between comedy and creepy, just don’t look in the boot! |
