Bite Size Halloween

I enjoyed the first two seasons for the most part, it was of course hit and miss but the shorts were usually fun. I watched the first 3 episodes of the third season, and they don't seem to be trying to entertain, it has turned into a contest on who can be the most politically ridiculous. I'm not over sensitive to political messages, but when they are this obvious not to mention ridiculous it's no longer something I will watch. Political idiocy aside it's really lazy writing, and neither scary or remotely entertaining. It really is a shame besides the rating issue which I would guess would go into steep decline there probably are allot of good young horror writers and filmmakers that could have used a shot.

I admit I am Only 14 episodes in (at 3 min each). And hey I get it, people put time into these...I assume very new at filmmaking people. Some nice sets, fx, lighting etc totally wasted on bad stories. Feels like a 24 hour filmmaking contest to be honest. As I watch these I keep feeling like some stricture was put upon the filmmakers. Something that kept them from fulfilling their ideas/dreams. This level of consistent mediocrity can't be a coincidence. I speak as someone who has worked in tv and glum production for over 40 years...I know production difficulties and budget restraints...this ain't that.

Story first, always story first.

Oh episode 15 was clever and scary...let's hood for a better ratio as time goes on.

The majority of these episodes, that I've seen so far, are just bad. Some are funny. Some are just cornet. Some are a bit creepy. Some are just dumb. Then a few are like really bad commercials. Like the snickers or skittle episodes. I was expecting those episodes to end with an announcer. But if these episode were meant to be scary, they're far from it. When I started watching these I was hoping for something a bit more scary. I've been left disappointed. I'm going to continue watching because they're short enough and I hope I'll come across one that's actually more scary than creep. But if you're looking for scary, pass.

Sometimes better things can be found in small places.

Most of this stand-alone shorts are simple but surprisingly clever and well executed.

It's great that not-so known actors, directors and screenwriters can have a place to start in the showbiz.

However, you can find some acclaimed actors too, like Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts, Academy Award nominee Yalitza Aparicio, and Independent Spirit Award nominee Rachel Sennott.

I'm impressed how the directors managed to capture their ideas using the available resources considering the low budget these projects must have had.

No surprise some of these shorts have been nominated in the most important film festivals such as Sundance.

I cannot, for the life of me, imagine that this series of "short stories" could have been approved for three full seasons! First the stories are _far_ too short. The commercials between episodes are LONGER then the episodes themselves!

The story descriptions are good and are actually better than the final products. There are weak to no endings! Each stand alone episode is merely an _outline_ of a story-?. Not a completed concept, but rather an incomplete and poorly conceived one at that . And who directed three seasons of this nonsense? It's a real mess of a "series". Avoid it, as life is far too short to waste on this amateur nonsense.
