My new book Horror Galore: 300 Fantastic Fright Flicks You Might Have Missed has a chapter on short films, and one that's highly recommended is TOE (2019), from Workshed Animation, adapted from a classic scary story to tell in the dark. bit.ly/3WZ8Xvr

Our short film “TOE” was recently featured in Nathan Tolle book, “Horror Galore: 300 Fantastic Fright Flicks Youight Have Missed”. It’s a fantastic read and we are just floored to see it mentioned alongside some of our favorite horror films 💀💀 . . #horror #Filmmaking #film

Had a blast talking with CanvasRebel about Workshed Animation, stop motion filmmaking and good old Assjack days! canvasrebel.com/meet-chad-thur…
