A Very Depressing Short Film

Apparently – to judge by some comments on YouTube – this video has affected some people profoundly. So much so that some vowed to never carve a pumpkin again. Of course, it’s very likely they forget their promise by the next Halloween, but in the meantime certain individuals are experiencing frustration and remorse.

The video has won the Best Short Film and Best Concept at the Chicago Horror Film Festival in October 2006, which you can check out here. The credits for the movie are:
