Every day during October, the Department of Tangents presents a different short film for the Daily Horror Film Fest. It can be flat-out scary, strange, or playful. Today’s entry is Time To Eat, written and directed by Luke Asa Guidici.

There is always something in the basement. This is especially true if your basement contains a furnace that looks like Godzilla that you purchased from the Hammer estate sale in 1964. The particular something in this film wants to say hello to the mischievous little boy upstairs. The kid is bored, anyway, so he could use a little excitement.

Sometimes, though, there’s also something upstairs.
