Sweet Dreams | Horror Short Film

"Sweet Dreams" is a scary horror short film from CACox97 (Christopher Cox), the creator of "Don't Look Away." A boy is haunted by a spooky figure stalking him in the dark. This ghost story is inspired by childhood nightmares, aimed to build a creepy atmosphere with one or two jumpscares mixed in there.

*For the best viewing experience, watch in a dark, quiet location*

Will you dare to unravel 'The Noise Next Door'? My new horror short film will make you question your own sanity

[Infamous-duck-lord]

I’m just glad the monster followed the rules of you can’t kill someone when they are under a blanket tbh lol

As a person that has parasomnia, this is pretty much was i experience every single night, constant nightmares. I think this short film really just capture the whole fear of that, pretty well made too I would say.

[MTtheDoodleKing]

everyone knows that fear. It's a deep primal fear of something in the dark attack you while you try to sleep. When you're defenses are at their lowest. When I was younger my room was next to the garage. And one night the door was not closed all the way and it happened to come loose while I was trying to sleep. It opened super slowly literally made that scary slow creaking noise as it opened. and the near by fan made a paper continually go up and down which sounded like soft foot steps. I was so incredibly horrified. This Short Film reminded me of that. Excellent Job.

The man made it so much better, his acting is really good. You could tell he was truly terrified, but knew the blanket would help.

*Probably gonna regret this but life is short*

This man did it when he made don’t look away, and he just did it again!!!!

Dude that was awesome really gave me the creeps. Great use of the weird sensory shit that happens in “tense” moments of fear (noticing your breathing volume, ringing of ears etc) keep on killing it man!

[Tenarac]

I love the little car on his side table (reference to a horror movie called Christine)

[wolfdaddyttv]

This was a masterpiece. I really like that you focused on the blanket as a security device and even made it the focal point in a couple of scenes. I don't think I would ever challenge the validity of a ghost, pretty sure they don't like that. Also must admit that this had some of the best sensory experiences I have felt for awhile. Many Shorts try to be this but fall short, I will definitely be subbing and hitting the bell notification. Thank you for the terrifying dreams, Imma go to bed now... no worries at all.

Thought this was scary? You ain't seen NOTHING! My newest horror short "We're Not Safe Here" is a wild paranoia fulled terror. Dare to click? 👻

Really enjoyed this scary short, people usually think that the bedroom is one of the safest places, but in horror films it can be one of the scariest places, lying in bed in the dark when we’re most vulnerable, hearing noises and thinking “ is there something under the bed or in the closet….”

[crushuniversity]

Amazing. I think this is a type of fear most can relate to, thinking there is something in the dark and hiding under the 'invincible' covers. I used to have the same type of nightmares and this really struck that chills cord. Very good, 10 out of 10 would recommend! Can't wait for more!

[tickledtoffee]

This is amazing! I have nightmares, night terrors and occasionally sleep paralysis, and this feels like a combination of those.

[mugen]

Maybe this was unintentional, but I like that as a child, it was a vague shape. He knew it was dangerous, but couldn't make out the details.

As an adult, his brain filled in the gaps and made it more horrifying to match all that he has learned.

I dont know what it is about the distorted clock ticking sound

But it sets off fear on another level for me

[joshmarshall]

This was absolutely brilliant and you deserve way more credit for your work…I love how you even put emphasis on ringing of the ears from when it’s completely silent and dark in a room (which is why I sleep with a fan on to this day). The progressive heartbeat was a nice touch as well. Even the figure you portray in the corner is not only terrifying but relatable because we’ve all seen that same exact figure that always ends up being a coat rack, lamp, or some other type of furniture, but our minds see this. Literally gave me cold chills. Nobody wants to see a man in a mask anymore, it’s so played out. You displayed real, true fear in this and I hope to see you continue and thrive in this remarkable talent you have. Keep up the great work man

[baging]

Truly incredible how well you portrayed the right fear in this situation. So well done!

[imtdp]

Nailed it.

Your efforts in this film must be appreciated, it actually scared me when the ghost (or something) rushed on the guy, almost got heart attack.

Loved it, and hope for more content like this.
Keep it up.👌👌

I loved that transition when he woke up, and it changed into the guy as an adult. It shows that the nightmares don't always go away, contrary to what some parents claim. "The nightmares will stop when you get older" is apparently a thing people try to say!
