A little comedy sketch we did just before filming our (more traditional) horror short ‘The Birch‘. A bit silly, a bit gory, a bit of a tribute to VHS, and a lot of fun – we hope you agree!

Brad and Steve went looking for adventure, but instead they found horror… and a cabinet. How many horrors will you find in the woods?
