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!

Today’s short is “Peekers,” directed by Mark Steensland, based on the short story by Kealan Patrick Burke with a screenplay by horror author Rick Hautala.

Jason. Freddy. Mrs. Hoffman. These are the onscreen characters that terrify your soul and keep you up at night hiding under the covers. What’s that? Not familiar with Mrs. Hoffman? Once you see her, it’s hard to forget her. But remember, all she wants to do is play. Even if she is supposed to be in Cleveland right now.
