Hello, friends. Firstly, if you’re reading this, it’s because my site is back up. There was an issue with my domain, you see, which resulted in last week’s broken blog. Fortunately, WordPress was able to assist me with it, so here we are!

Secondly, I realized just today that it’s October and I haven’t posted any short horrors yet, as per TALC tradition. I’m a bit behind here. I figure it’s better late than never, though, so tonight, I come bearing the first short horror film I enjoyed and stashed away since last year’s Short Horror October extravaganza.

We’re starting with Highway, a gem of a short film by Vanessa Gazy, starring Odessa Young as Hester.

Now, I’m somewhat at a loss in categorizing this film neatly in a traditional horror sub-genre. There’s no brutality, gore, home invasion, or supernatural presence. It’s not a psychological horror, nor a found-footage horror, nor a body horror. It’s not a creature feature. I would actually call this well-paced short film a sci-fi horror, one definitely worthy of a watch. I’m delighted to share this excellent film with you! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Without further ado, then, I present you with nine minutes and 41 seconds of sci-fi horror. You don’t have to be a fan of either sci-fi or horror to enjoy this short film. You’ll see what I mean:

[…and it turns out there’s now an issue with embedding the video. If it’s not one thing, I tell you!]

Womp, womp.

I don’t know whether this new issue is related to last week’s domain issue, but I shall return to WordPress Help this weekend to figure it out. Meanwhile, friends, do go to YouTube and check out Highway.

Thank you for your patience, and Happy Spooky Season two weeks into the month, friends.
