Here’s our great line-up:
“The Haunted Swordsman“ (16 minutes) directed by Kevin McTurk
A samurai (Jason Scott Lee) sets off on a quest to avenge the death of his master, aided by an odd companion – a sentient severed head (James Hong).

Also featuring the voice talents of Franke Potente and Christopher Lloyd! A special sneak preview of the upcoming season of Little Terrors!
“Budfoot“ (17 minutes) directed by Tim Reis, James Sizemore
Get ready for some surreal puppet-driven insanity! The creative team behind Demon’s Rook and Goat Witch are back with this gory, trippy, and altogether fun short film.
“The Bloody Ballad of Squirt Reynolds“ (8 minutes) directed by Anthony Cousins
LT-alumnus director Cousins (When Susurrus Stirs) tells the tragic tale of Squirt Reynolds. But he won’t stay just a legend for long. Previous selection of a ton of festivals.

“Monstagram“ (3 minutes) direceted by Jerome Sable
LT-alumnus Sable returns (The Legend of Beaver Dam)! Short, full of gore, and bizarre as Hell. Enjoy!
