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!

What’s scarier – that thing that keeps popping up outside your window and moaning every night, or your mate leaving their crap all over the table and not listening to you? It’s a close call in today’s short, “My Monster” by writer and director Izzy Lee, presenter her by Alter.

Lee is a writer and director you’ve already heard from frequently if you’ve been following the Department of Tangents blog. And you will definitely be hearing from her a lot more in the future. She has two shorts, “Re-Home” and “The Obliteration of Chickens,” currently making the rounds at festivals. You can also find her short fiction in anthologies like Tales From the Crust and Wicked Witches. Keep up with her on her company Website at nihilnoctem.com.
