12 Horror Short Film Finalists for ABCs OF DEATH 2 For Letter M

The producers of the sequel to the horror anthology ABCs of Death have been taking short film submissions for the letter M. Out of 541 submissions they have narrowed their choices down to twelve finalists. They are actually all pretty good in their own way and worth watching, so I suggest you check them all out when you get a chance. According to Badass Digest,

"Half of these finalists were selected by popular vote, and half were selected by our jury, made up of ABCs of Death producers Ant Timpson and Tim League, associate producer Ted Geoghegan, Magnolia Pictures’ Matt Cowal, Entertainment Weekly's Clark Collis, Fangoria's Michael Gingold, author Grady Hendrix and our very own Brian Collins.

The Top Twelve finalists will be screened for free at Alamo Drafthouse theaters on December 15th, after which Drafthouse founder Tim League will announce the grand prize winner, voted on by the 25 already announced directors for the horror anthology, including Álex de la Iglesia, Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, Sion Sono, Vincenzo Natali and Jen and Sylvia Soska. In addition to receiving a $5000 cash prize, the winning film will be become ABCs of Death 2’s “M” segment."

Check out all of the shorts and let us know which one is your favorite!
