YouTube is a fantastic platform for content creators, especially horror directors. Over the years there have been so many creepy ass videos uploaded to YouTube that after just a few minutes of clicking you’ll find yourself in “that part” of the internet. And that is just where our lovely field trip for the day will be taking us, to some of the strangest horror shorts available over on YouTube.

Bobby Yeah

I’m sure many of you have heard of this one. Bobby Yeah is a work of art and something that any fan of horror and Claymation owe it to themselves to see. Written, directed, and animated all by Robert Morgan Bobby Yeah follows the story of a young rabbit humanoid creature that steals something very precious to a divine being. That’s the best summary anyone can give without spoiling the fun of a first-time viewing.

Bobby Yeah is on the longer side of the horror shorts we’ll be looking at today, but setting in at a solid twenty-three minutes just adds to the charm of the overall short. It’s also worth mentioning that the quality of the animation keeps up throughout the entire experience, not once holding back with the creepy or weird imagery happening on screen.

If you’ve got a free 25 minutes be sure to check it out, no punches are held and it steadily gets darker and more twisted as the animation continues.

D is for Deloused

D is for Deloused started out as a short present in none other than The ABC’s Of Death 2, but the short in its entirety can be found on YouTube. D is for Deloused also being made by Robert Morgan anyone who’s seen Bobby Yeah has an idea as to what to expect out of the movie.

Thankfully however D is for Deloused is much more accessible while on the go or just trying to kill some time. Clocking it at just under 5 minutes doesn’t give it very much time to fit in the body horror that is associated with Robert Morgan, but there’s still plenty to see in that small-time frame.

D is for Deloused is a fan favorite from The ABC’s of Death 2 as well as one of my own personal favorite horror shorts, be sure to check it out. What can be accomplished in just under 5 minutes is truly astonishing.

Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared

Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared has absolutely exploded in popularity that much is a given. And yes, they may not explicitly be horror shorts, but they are still able to scar many first-time viewers due to the facade the shorts hold up. Using puppets as all the characters may trick some viewers into thinking they’re watching a children’s movie before things take a hard-left turn into dark territory.

Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared has spawned several sequels each one trying to up the ante and bring the WTF factor to a whole new level, but it all started with the original being uploaded to YouTube and being exposed to thousands of people who so happened to stumble upon it.

If by some chance you haven’t seen Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared or one of its many follow ups then be sure to check out the one that started them all, just be prepared for an experience that stuck with many viewers for a long while.

Salad Fingers

Salad Fingers has become a household name ever since the first video found itself a home on YouTube. When this series went viral everyone was talking about how creepy and weird it was, and many people never got around the watching the rest of the videos detailing the adventures of Salad Fingers. Each entry to the series slowly getting more twisted and strange and finally ending in easily one of the most confusing shorts ever seen by many viewers.

If you do decide to watch every entry to Salad Fingers be sure to set some time to the side, as all the videos together add up to a run time that’s just under an hour. Easily the longest entry on this list, but still enjoyable and a worthy watch for any fan of anything strange and macabre.

‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3’ Is a Go with Enhanced Budget and New Characters

Winnie the Pooh 3

Wow, they’re churning things out fast! The upcoming sequel “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3” is officially moving forward, promising an expanded narrative with a larger budget and the introduction of beloved characters from A.A. Milne’s original tales. As confirmed by Variety, the third installment in the horror franchise will welcome Rabbit, the heffalumps, and the woozles into its dark and twisted narrative.

This sequel is a part of an ambitious cinematic universe that reimagines children’s stories as horror tales. Alongside “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” and its first sequel, the universe includes films such as “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare”, “Bambi: The Reckoning,” and “Pinocchio Unstrung”. These movies are set to converge in the crossover event “Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble,” slated for a 2025 release.

Winnie the Pooh Poohniverse

The creation of these films was made possible when A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book “Winnie-the-Pooh” entered the public domain last year, allowing filmmakers to explore these cherished characters in unprecedented ways. Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and producer Scott Jeffrey Chambers, of Jagged Edge Productions, have led the charge in this innovative endeavor.

The inclusion of Rabbit, heffalumps, and woozles in the upcoming sequel introduces a new layer to the franchise. In Milne’s original stories, heffalumps are imagined creatures resembling elephants, while woozles are known for their weasel-like characteristics and a penchant for stealing honey. Their roles in the narrative remain to be seen, but their addition promises to enrich the horror universe with deeper connections to the source material.
