This guy must be the top scarer of the adult section for Monsters Inc...
Top comment god
dude single handedly powering the city
@@mrtomato5132 talking bout free energy here
@@davesnyder9052 that is actually one of my favs
oh my god
She got an apartment in L.A; what kind of roommate did she expect??
Ada Hazard now that was funny. Lololol!
Lol
I would prefer a damn vampire lol
Hahahahah
At least in New York you only have roaches and rats. Buuuuuuut you do pay extra for them. ;-;
The most terrifying thing about this is that it doesn’t even have to be a demon to invoke this level of fear. The thought of someone in your home that you do not intend to be there is a very real threat.
nah, if it was a human I could kick his teeth in
True. My worst fear when moving into a new house.
@@Ram_jagat is to meet an owner
and the way it walked around like it owned the place
taunting its victim...
Ikr! The people who keep moving into the house that I live in are constantly moving out when they hear me in the walls at night. It's not my fault, I have to get their hair from the hairbrushes at *some* point. Crybabies.
As soon as he said, “Welcome to LA” I knew she was doomed.
🤣🤣🤣😭
That demon is a pro in doing ASMR tapping sound 👌
*Demon taping noises - For sleep and relaxation* I'll find the door-
He should do some Korean mukbang asmr 🤣
@@avarichardson8443 Sounds like something Ephemeral Rift would make.
Cheers buddy, I can do it with both hands swiftly, I should make a good ghost☺️
I a felt fear watching this.
5:25
So... She bought a closet and placed it next to her closet?
It was for free
That sensitive psychopath so she got a free closet and placed it next to her closet
@@mercedesheisterberg299 I mean it's not like it was, again, for free, and she might move out in the future.
Lmao literally when that part came on I was like wtf closet nest to a closet😂
Some people do that sometimes
*Notice how they let you see what it is* rather than having a loud jump scare and cutting away - - made it so much more scary
There is Loud jumscare in this one 😐
When en entitiy slowly looks around the corner for example it even scarier
Stupid hollywood idiоts don't understand psychological roots of our fears. One of these is a fear of being followed
@@elizamandrou7342 it wasnt a stupid "jumpscare" symbolizing appearance of entitiy.
It was her fear taking form, her rush of adrenaline.
Notice how there is always an anticipation and slow build up until loud noises appear.
You don't see that slow build up in awful Hollywood horrors.
They are unskilled creators and don't know how to perform this trick anymore
And everyone in that apartment building would be homeless because I would have b*rned the whole place down
@@lillianjackson1648only reasonable reactiom imo
WHY AM I WATCHING THIS AT ALMOST FIVE IN THE MORNING? BECAUSE THESE SHORTS ARE BETTER THEN HALF THE FILMS HOLLYWOOD IS PUTTING OUT. THANK YOU, ALTER. GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE BACK!
Ayyy me too
@@RequiemForAGaben Sweet
@@RequiemForAGaben Sweet. ✌
Lol same
Me watching it at 1:33
I like how she already had a built in closet in her room she didn't need to pick that up
i have a closet in my room but I still have a dresser cause it doesn’t fit everything
Yeah, I would if left that alone looks evil: poor girl.-👹👽👺
*me Who doesn't have a closet in my room*
@@anyalaASMR females😂
Maybe she needed the extra space for all her bullshit 🤣🤣
In Asia, you DON’T simply pick up stuff abandoned by the roadside - however good they still look. Trust me, they are thrown out for good reasons. - 22 March 2019
(mostly demons)
True! No matter what it is, we are deadly afraid of "attachments" towards a certain object. I rather have my clothes all folded on the floor lol
Gillian L PREACH sis ♥️
India too. We are instructed not to step on dolls or random objects by the road side like lemon and chillies.
@@gillianl8932 And you know that's right😉👌
Was this production company sponsored by a big furniture corporation to scare us into buying "new"? Because it worked on me! 🤣
Never pick up an old wardrobe in a sketchy alley ✍️
as soon as she used that many exclamation mark in a business e-mail i knew she was screwed.
1 exclamation mark is good 3 is great but 2... 2 attracts the demon
AYE YOOO 😂😂🤣
Right? These films are just Crazy!
Exactly, who uses 2 exclamation marks, and caps in the middle of a sentence?
She literally capitalized every first letter of each word too
I swear these short films are scarier than watching a two hour movie without even getting scared. Always is best to buy new furniture. You never know who it belonged to before you.
true. some pieces could be haunted.
Agreed.
U said it bro
Even new stuff can be haunted sometimes.......trust me.
Totally agree!!
I swear the short horror stories are scarier than actual horror movies 😂
Fr
this memes
Your just not watching the right horror movies
Can I just add that the sound effects in this were brilliant!
This was so creepy! Absolutely loved it!
Thanks!
Okay but who hears sounds coming from a piece of furniture and ignores it?
Or come home to a ransacked bedroom. I would have noped it tf out of there so fast, Armoir Shadow would have been in awe and just let me beeee.....😤😩
Me I just look at it and sleep back
I always hear a sound from the bed (its wooden) It sounds like some one is got up from there ...my mom hears it too But we just ignores it . Strange hah!!
Could be rats
Me i ignore all of this :-) :-) :-)
Okay but like she capitalized every word she typed... that demon probably just wanted to get her to type right
MissingLlnk I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
Grammer demon
Hence, the tapping lmao 😂😂😂
Guys, stop blaming her. It's the ancient Titivillus the one we are talking about.
@MissingLink LLAB!
I love the tapping sound they played in the end. It makes it so much more unsettling.
The scariest part of the whole film was how unprofessional her email reply was👁👄👁
This is best IKEA commerical I've ever seen I definitely jumped 💀😭😂
🤣🤣
"we have furniture *you* can trust at IKEA"
why does she bring the Armoire when she has a clost
@@LOLPro123 its for the swag
The fact that she didn’t automatically assume that her place was broken in to at first isn’t believable.
how if everything was there. nothing stolen.
@@ChillAvenueCreativeLab just because they didn't like any of her clothes, doesn't mean someone didn't break in her house
@@random_meta lol
@@ChillAvenueCreativeLab if your house gets trashed, what do you assume? It was the wind?
Right like she immediately was like anyway do i have bed bugs??
Im watching this alone, in the dark, at 2 am and i gotta say those freaking footsteps running at 6:45 made me almost have a heart attack lol
I’m smoking weed and I must be stupid to be watching this😭 that scared the shit out of me
Normal people when scared: turn on the frickin’ lights in the house
This chick: let me run to the other side of the house and search for my flashlight 🙄
Horror movie be like
The really scary part is how she got it into the apartment by herself when she was walking in downtown LA
It shows a dolley
i just cant get over how she successfully maneuvered a presumably HEAVY ASS armoire, herself, with just a handtruck, back to her apartment
I was thinking the same thing
@@desireepierce8940 Me too! That would take two people at least to manhandle it.
Even so, good story.
You’re assuming she didn’t get help and even so, with a hand-truck it’s totally possible for one person to make that move.
Depending on the wood it’s made of it might not have been too bad. I’ve moved some crazy looking stuff because the material it was made of was light. My sister has a bookshelf taller than me that I can pick up easy. You can never know!
And not to mention her apartment number is 201 which implies her room is on the second floor.
Failure is an option, fear is not.
Love that!
11:02 Ah yes a certain terrifying scene from my childhood just surfaced. Wonderfully executed!!
From Signs?
@@dlkj1197 ding ding
I thought that too
The ghost of a previous asmr king
Maybe it's Zeitgeist, but there is no trace of Frank or any other microphones so I remain a bit stumped
wait Raffy Taphy's dead ? I'll miss the case that makes good sounds D:
Ilikeyourcat
The shot where he is sitting on top of the cabinet and where he is standing behind- they were so well done! In other movies they would have been jump scares but in this-- it was so smoothly eased in
Thanks! 😈
I don't really like doing jump scares, the slow burn get-in-your-head trauma is way more my style.
@@davesnyder9052 Yeah. I am always on the lookout for innovative techniques when it comes to horror. Jump scares have become so predictable. You can easily see one coming judging by the camera angle.
Waiting to see the girl discover and react in the scene where the unknown is standing behind her was refreshing
@@davesnyder9052 I love that type of style so much more authentic then jump scares jump scares feel really cheap and cheesy .
@Pink Panther babadook
@Pink Panther Haha, creepy coincidence. Have you seen Midsommar? I also love the films of Gaspar Noé, especially "Climax".
I guess this short film should also be a message. That being don't pick up random pieces of furniture you find on the side of the road or in an alley. You never know what type of creepy entity could be attached to it.
I like this one. That demon is freaky looking, especially when came out of her bedroom, then took a turn as if it was going to approach her. That part was scary. Loved it!!
Not many things scare me but this did especially when she heard the fast foot steps and fell back into her chair that was scary!
Bruh ur a dumb liar
That was a solid scare.
i laughed my ass of when that happened
What the hell happened?? Im wondering myself and what the fuqua was that on the dresser??😅😅😆😜
I thought that bit was sorta ripped off the excellent "Lights Out" short.
She ain't got adrenaline? I would have literally picked that Armoire up and threw it out my way
I would of jumped out the mf balcony. Lol fuqk that shit. Lol
THIS B*TCH HAUNTED! YEET!
Can we take a moment to appreciate how great the actor playing the demon was at thumping their fingers so loudly and deliberately?
Hate to break it to you but most of the noises you hear in videos or movies or shows are foley and are added during editing. It’s actually a really cool craft
@@justinef most, but not all. In this video it was 💯% the character doing that ASMR tapping.
Aww 😊 yes. Yes we can.
The Armoire is one of my favorite shorts. I always come back to watch this! 🖤 🖤
she should of went to IKEA lol
*have
Coco Brown that’s what I did😂
Stop Correcting the poor person xD
нєℓℓα єχρєиѕινє , fσя ѕσмєтнιиg fяєє 😂
AsHLiegH-MaRie HoPe u right. Struggle is real can’t just go to no ikea no u go down street thrift store or yo neighbors house n see what they got 😂
"so, i just picked up a random closet thing, all my clothes are on the floor, and thers a black spot on my neck... Must be the bed!"
"And there are weird tapping noises and the running of footsteps--Must be the bed!"
She was thinking it was bedbugs or fleas, or mice. You can often see signs of all 3 in a bed. I would have looked there first too, then around windows. She also may have thought the sounds were mice.
She was looking for bed bugs.. little bastards.. I figured that when she yanked the sheets off
Continues to sleep in bed....
@@taracollins5597 bruh her clothes were everywhere, and the sounds only started happening AFTER she picked up the closet...if it were me I wouldn't have touched it in first place. Seeing an old closet lying there all taped up? Whole lotta NOPE.
Absolutely phenomenal!! There’s nothing better than a horror film with acting that really sells it! This had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, and the payoff will stick with me. I’m so glad I found this!
Thanks!
This is one of the best i've seen building the atmosfere, the empty house makes it feel so lonley
This is not to take anything away from this channel.....these horror movies are better and scarier then half the crap in movie theaters. That demon walking in hall way got me!!! Great job!!!
Thanks!
@@davesnyder9052 yeah I don't scare easily and that demon made me run out the room. Lol
Reminded me of the scene from Signs
@@dlkj1197 I thought the same thing! It did the EXACT same movement just reversed
@@dlkj1197 exactly my thought. God that shot in Signs made me jump. Blech!!!
Yes it's abandoned and duck taped shut but SURE WHY NOT let's take it home!
Raizíl Tokashi...You’re not to bright are you??!!....what rock did you crawl under from!!!!....It’s completely legit!! JFYI!!!...It is mandatory to tape any furniture or
appliance that has doors & a cavity!!!! The reason!.. so no children can get in & possibly suffocate!!!
truthbtold kinda rude comment, but, let’s all chill here, each to they’re own.
Lol....ill learn someday, right??🤦
its california, gotta save every penny to survive
@@sticktrik It was possible to explain that without being rude.
The finger taps were actually very soothing, like asmr.
This is my favorite horror short s far. Brilliantly acted and shot. The shot at 10:35 is the stuff on nightmares. Great work.
Check out Asvinns (short horror). Its the scariest film Ive watched since Host (2020)
Thanks!
Yea, that shot was also the most dangerous. The armoire almost tipped over while climbing up there.
11:03 "Oh pardon me, going to the bathroom."
Like what was up with that? Really killed the tension and made me laugh.
LMAO ME TOO
11:03 : me going to the kitchen in the middle of the night for my pop tarts
Thank you for writing this so I can peacefully go to bed
Lolll
A simple note on the furniture would suffice. Like a " please dont take. Im haunted and wrecklessly evil" would do enough for me.
I love the quick shot of the hand truck like, ok, so that's how she got it home.
I think this one of the creepiest ALTER films I’ve ever seen, the demon was just terrifying, the cinematography was great and the acting, and the story isn’t bad at all!
Her scream felt so real, I got goosebumps
@@brennaaa right?!
❤
The really scary part is someone renting an apartment to her in Los Angeles even though her income says "TBD".
Right normally when you lease an apartment you must submit your paystub 😭
What if it wasn’t the armoire that was haunted? The closet opened by itself

@@srkh8966 nah it was the armoire. Otherwise dude at the beginning would have survived.
her parents probs co-signed
I feel like Alter is so hit or miss with their short horror films, but I definitely liked this one, cool concept, not over the top with jump scares, nice storyline given the short amount of time, I really liked this one
Thanks!
I do try to avoid jump scares as much as possible.
Minimalistic music: very good choice. Top notch acting, realistic behavior, which these days is very nice.
Listen. Big take aways here. Rule one, dont move to los angeles. Second, IKEA bro. Their furniture isnt haunted as much as it is flimsy and its more like a DIY thing but hey its cheap and you aint got no job. Also, that cabinet did not bring out the vibe of the apartment, i was thinking more like a modern look. But hey if thats what youre into. Btw theres a demon in your apt.
She already had closet,idk why she wanted that thing and it can be ful of bugs
I thought the same thing with the vibeeee I was like nah dat shit is UGLYYYY
jorge arroyo oh, really? Ever read horrorstor?
thanks Jorge
I already live in Los Angeles and my family is poor so taking furniture left out and restoring it was a very common thing in my household.
You need to use Flex Tape not duct tape
Now that's a lot of damage!
Watch don’t look away
Bunny Ninja
Duct tape wuuuuhuu
🤣🤣🤣
Just discovered this channel and I love it already. No jump scares, just great writing!
Okay I might have spoken too soon 😂😂
You pick up an armoire. All of a sudden you start hearing creepy tapping and footsteps in your house. You come home to everything you put in the armoire thrown around your room. You hear more tapping. At that point do you not throw it out your window or something?
I think it was already too late after she brought it into her home
Aha!! I knew there was some demon in my home that keeps throwing stuff on the floor, dirtying the dishes AND not making the bed...thank you ALTER😲
Your children? 😂
@@saltedcaramel5424 you see that's the spooky thing😟😟😟..I have no kids...and last night a bag of Doritos went missing 😱😱

at 7:56, she said “mom can i call you back” uhhh i would be saying “mom can you come over???!!!” lmaooooo
My response to the thumbnail was “oh no… alright, I’m gonna do it.” I get myself so freaked out watching these shorts!! I love it!!
love the shot of him on the top of the armoire. no jumpscare musical sting. just camera cuts to him up there. creepy af
I feel like the armoire is judging her. It's running around when she is doing her vision board, it disdainfully tosses her clothes away...it is totally just an unimpressed troll.
Please exercise proper and safe disposal practices while handling cursed objects. Failure to comply may result in a continuation of the debuff on yourself or others.

The SCP foundation can take it off your hands. Assuming that you're not affected by the object in any lasting way, that is, in which case you will be collected as well.
I've seem a million horror movies that don't scare me, but this was terrifying. Something about the realism of being in a new apartment alone & hearing noises, just gets me. The tension, waiting for something to jump out was good also. True horror lies in the build-up.
Him walking across actually gave me the chills 11:00
I got a 'Drag me to hell' feeling. I think that guys were hypnotized from the very first look, that's why she choosed an armoire that doesn't fit to her interior at all. That demon just sucked out her life energy and make her zombie, that's why she didn't burn it, just passed to another victim.
*sure the closet wasn’t exactly huge. but sis only hung like 4 shirts in the armoire. you really couldnt find that extra space in that damn closet for 4 shirts lmao?*
🤣🤣🤣
She could've just got a hanger stand from the thrift store !
Lmao we have the same damn thoughts, it's beyond me what this fool was thinking or not at all smh. Then spread them out to take up all the space in that haunted thing ahaha. She was stupid period.
Well, the demon took up the rest of the space.
Why have a heavy piece of furniture like that when you got a big closet
I usually watch a lot of mainstream horror movies, which prove rather countlessly subpar. But this! Let me tell you the chills down my spine made me pull up my blanket at this heat. Its writers really did a fantastic job at attempting to align the narrative to true spiritual and supernatural phenomena, and only amplified it fictionally in a subtle way. Now the only problem I have is trying to stop binging these short movies and not finding success in it.
“Here’s the key to the building, please don’t cooy it.” 😂 . A nice way to put it.
bruh when the running foot steps went after her i got so scared i accidentally clicked out of youtube
I minimized the video immediately
When I heard the tapping and she started looking up from her bed, I remembered the evil thumbnail and went to the comment section .
This was sooooo good!!! I am loving these Horror shorts. Short, sweet and straight to the scares!!!! Love it!!!!
I think the most fictitious element of this short is the fact that she was able to afford that apartment in L.A., even with her parent's help, lol
When something has that much tape around it, best leave it alone.🤔
Used bed, ughhh. Nice film guy's, I liked it 👍
That dam tapping noise it's stuck in my head now.
What's messed up I do that when I'm bored. What do I do now? Thinking if I start and suddenly stop, I may hear that noise from somewhere.
BLOSSOM :
Same 🙄
This is the most relatable comment I’ve read all week 😂
Tap tap tap tap tap. Lol 😂
Honestly same.
I love these short stories. I find myself watching 1 after another great job
Moral of the story, don't furnish your house with garbage.
Somebody call them Winchester boys. salt n' burn baby 👌
this whole time was like idk why im being such a bitch baby about this ive seen worse in SPN
I'd like to call the Winchester boys 😏
Yeah they're smart when it comes to demons and things they don't buy two closets when they already have one in their apartment
Boooo
Let’s gooooo at least it ain’t a leviathan 😂😂
As soon as the landlord said “Welcome to LA” I automatically knew this wouldn’t end well...
This is the scariest one I've watched.
And that tapping sound though.... Chilling
I love the detail of her pulling her ear back to see the mark, because even if it is visible to us, it might not be to her.
6:39 how convenient a chair suddenly stops her from falling
😂😂😂
Chair is also haunted, but by a chill bro
Louisiana is the most haunted state in America
Find it funny cause he's just up there like "hey, like what you see?" Lol
My favorite part of the film was “Failure is an option, Fear is not” 🖤💪🏽
That was really good. Heck, I wanted to turn her light on! It reminds me of those movies where if you throw away something cursed, you simply pass the curse along. 😱
It must of been sitting on the Armoire watching her sleep for a minute, realized he had to pee, stopped off in the bathroom 1st, then, decided to finish her off.
**have*
Just imagine if you went to bed and heard that tapping 😱
Thank you. I happened to just watched it and it's 12:20 am where I'm from.
Jump of the Windows 100%working 1%still alive
actually I have only it wasnt a demon that time it was a god awful large spider with the biggest egg sac on its back I've ever seen we think it was looking for a place to have its babies it died of course
@@Homemaker-eg2he ewww omg that's just as scary as demon tbh 😷😩

Wow that was seriously scary! Very well made and great acting. James Wan would love this!
What an incredible movie! Like a refreshing gulp of horror that just bites into your bones!
That’s okay ALTER I wasn’t planning on sleeping tonight anyway
Pink and Proud AHA
Amen sister
you know its a good channel when they can make a horror short film out of a piece of furniture
Why credit the channel? It's an indie film by a couple Canadian brothers.
That's hands down the scariest film on this channel I just some how could not forget that sound and it and kept me awake for at least a week!
Trying to force myself to laugh at the scary parts so the ghosts in my house will know I’m NOT scared of these tactics
The moment she saw that demon in the hallway gave me chills🥶
I like how even just the tapping of fingers can be made into something creepy. o.o
Chills! Got so freaked out😱 thanks for making this! I’m having nightmares but it’s all worth it😅
Hannah Barlow, what a gifted actress and such a beautiful woman. I look forward to enjoying all her other work. Great film, very well done!
This is why i‘ll never get any furniture from anywhere else than ikea or something
Isn't buying Ikea furniture a bigger nightmare?
Because you wo uod rather have abunch of trash? Growing up we had nothing but antique wood furniture and oil paintings and it wasn't creepy at all, it was classy and different compared to the boring simple houses my friends lived in.
Diana Melgoza
There’s some truth to that 😂
Ikea scp
chris peoples I was thinking the same thing
Damn that was good...they need to do part two on some of these ,they are way better than some movies. Nice one #ALTER
I believe this was the first one or that the one here on Alter was based on this one. czcams.com/video/-3pC_vZCL7U/video.html
Sherine p You got that right Alter has some good short films which is better than most that's why I love watching them 👌👌👌
I LOVE ghost/possession-type horror like this. Can anyone point out more shorts of that type?
Great storyline! Loved it!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
