What do you do when you stumble upon an unknown object while on the road? Especially, what if it's a pumpkin? This is the cool premise of the horror short named "The Pumpkin" which is just a 3:23 minutes long short film available to watch on YouTube at no cost. Written, directed and edited by Paul Dulski, starring Tristin Notte and Tessa Baker. The music was provided by Karl Casey (White Bat Audio). Tristin is also a co-writer and provided sound effects for the short. Filmed and made in Vermont, USA. Paul has made 3 horror shorts before this- The Passenger, Terror Trail I and Terror Trail II.

The visual effects, quality and the music sets the tone for a creepy short film which is made even better with the voice of Tessa as a caller and acting by Tristin- both of which feel professional and work very well. The ending and the film is effective because it emphasizes the element of the unknown! The film has no mature content but it's still scary. Suitable for all ages and at any time of the year due to the relevance of psychological horror. The performance and editing both have made it a delightful watch.

Overall, Pumpkin by Paul Dulski starring Tristin Notte and Tessa Baker is a short and sweet Halloween treat that's fun to watch during the Halloween season and also throughout the year due to the timeless performance and music! Highly recommended to watch this and get into the Halloween spirit no matter when or where you watch it!!

The short film is "a rollercoaster ride with no dull moments" because of the editing, story and dialogues. Switching between the search and a flashback about the warnings received by John (Played by Paul Dulski) from a folklorist (Played by me, Darsh Davis) through a video chat. We get to see what's happening with Eric (Played by Jeremy Pratico) and John as they enter the area and also what John remembers about his chat with the Folkorist. The short film is made as if it has been recorded by Eric and John as they document what happens with them so that they can help any future people exploring the area. Thus, it has a "found footage" feel to it with no clumsy movements or awkward angles. Paul and Jeremy have well studied the found footage filming techniques and it shows here. Katie Kenworthy as the creature has nailed the body language and the look is creepy! Considering the limited budget, time and resources, it is excellently made. No mature content but still super scary. Can be watched with kids. Among the most fun and thrilling shorts you will watch! Highly recommended!

Filled with scary visuals of the killer doll and some surprises, this horror short film by NMJ Films will entertain and scare you! Featuring the voice of Alan Maxson as the killer doll Genevieve and Nicholas Michael Jacobs as the lead- Ted Morris, it's a short but effectively scary story of the fight between a man and a possessed doll. Created by a one man team, it deserves appreciation!
