10 Best Short Horror Movies Of The Last Decade

It's not the size that counts; it's what you do with it!

I don't know if it's too big because it was made by Neill Blomkamp, but the Oats Studio short "Zygote" is awesome. It stars Dakota Fanning, is just over 20 minutes long, and is probably the closest thing we'll ever get to a Dead Space movie.

How could they not include Miners Mountain? That's the best short I've ever seen and it's legitimately terrifying at times.

The fact that Kane Pixels is so young and being contracted for a full-feature film about the Backrooms is amazing and inspiring.

Woah, it’s actually crazy y’all put out this video, I literally just did a search for best short horror films to watch last night. Great timing 😂

A short film series that I really enjoy is THE JESTER Trilogy. With the Trilogy taking place on Halloween night, its a nice little Trilogy to check out during October 31st.

[patjohnson]

The short horror movies Still and Backstroke deserve honorable mentions. Those 2 were terrifying!

[Rendezman]

thank you for this, shorts never get enough love

My house walkthrough has an amazing behind the scenes part in you tube and it is a must watch. The guy that made this film was brilliant in practical effects.

Ah, "Other Side of the Box" is a great one. The twist is chilling. Wording is everything.

"2AM: The Smiling Man" is...okay. It's based on a creepypasta and, when listening to it, it sort of paints a more eerie picture than the short provides. The story ends with the narrator saying, "He didn't look drunk. He didn't look high. He looked completely insane. And that is a very terrifying thing to see." I didn't really get that vibe from the short.

“Curve” should definitely have been on this list, makes my palms sweat just thinking about it 😳

[simonmccormack]

I like the short called Don’t Look Away

[ParagSurelia]

Good job with the list. I just wish there were links to the mentioned movies in the description too.

In Man on a Train, the guy moves like my cat when I'm playing with him 😂

[yolandaponkers]

Man on a Train is probably my favorite short horror of all. No jump scares but it’s really impactful.

I've seen most of these already and I totally agree with the opinions in this. I'm looking forward to seeing the couple of horror shorts I haven't yet seen. Thanks, WhatCulture Horror!

Every time I see the blue eyed face from “The Guest, ” I get intense goosebumps and every hair on my body, from my neck to my legs stands up. Like a dog seeing something it hates. Lol

[CakeNCokeever]

I watched a short here on YouTube called “Moonstruck” that was pretty creepy. Had a blockbuster summer movie sort of vibe, but creepy involving the moon and peoples eyes. It would make a good full length movie.

3:49 these clips are freaking me out more than any normal modern day horror movie holy crap lmao
