Every day through October, the Department of Tangents brings you the Daily Horror Film Fest – one short horror film for every day of the month. It might be terrifying, it might be funny. It could be an homage classic monsters or something entirely new. Check back every morning for a new scare as we celebrate horror shorts!

“Larry,” written and directed by Jacob Chase, is the story of a man reading a scary kids book all alone one night in a security booth. In the book, Larry is just looking for a friend, but no one likes him because he’s different. Even if he is pretty cute and has kind eyes. The creature hanging out in the deserted parking lot looks a little like Larry, but he doesn’t seem as nice. His scuttling walk is problematic. He seems shy, but oddly aggressive.

The moral of the story? If you come across someone’s iPad in the lost and found, mind your own business.
