It follows a lonely man who pursues a romantic date, only to discover the encounter may be far more literal — and monstrous — than he bargained for.

Cereal Killer | Short Horror Film

Cereal Killer is a short Halloween horror-comedy from Haunt Former that leans into its punny premise: a mother and son bring home a mysterious cereal box that turns out to harbor something far more sinister than breakfast food. The five-minute runtime keeps the concept lean and playful, blending holiday scares with lighthearted humor. It's the kind of seasonal short that showcases a haunt creator's storytelling range beyond props and walkthroughs.
