Here’s a cool concept: 3 – 8 minute mini-films. Fast, scary, offbeat, thrilling. Each episode is a different, shocking story with beginning, middle and end. Every ending a jaw-dropper. That’s Shockers TV.
Created by Richard Christian Matheson, produced by Jason D. McKean, and starring Michael Bayouth, there are four episodes currently running online. You can catch the series pilot, written and directed by Matheson here: Shockers.
The other episodes are Abused, Mobius, and Arousal (based on a Matheson short story, this one comes with a viewer discretion advisory).
