These 5 Short Films Will Scare You In Seconds

Singing trolls and cell phone dead zones will have you screaming in no time.

Give a bunch of aspiring filmmakers a creepy film set and creative free reign, and what you'll end up with is something truly scary, as Guillermo del Toro and Legendary films have proven with this short film contest.

Last month, the announcement came down that YouTube would make five Guillermo del Toro-inspired sets available for the contest, inviting those with established channels to try their hand at the horror oeuvre, with the grand prize being a consultation with del Toro and funding from Legendary to develop their idea into a feature-length project. And now, just in time for Halloween, the fruits of contestants' creative labors are becoming available for our viewing pleasure. All 100 entries will go up on the YouTube Spaces channel between now and Halloween, but for maximum scares right this minute, you can check out a few of the hopeful prize-winners below.

Five millennial social media addicts face a horror like no other, in "What Terrifies 20-Somethings on Halloween."
