The Blood Witch - Horror Short Film

Trying to impress his new girlfriend, Aaron tells Kelly the "legend" of The Blood Witch, not realizing he may be summoning the wrath of a bloodthirsty being.

Director's statement: THE BLOOD WITCH is a film that came to me extremely quickly. I came up with the idea in April of 2024 and we finished it 5 months later in time for an early October release. I have such an incredible team helping me make this idea into a reality, and I think we created a horror villain that people are going to love. I hope my love of the horror genre shines through in this one, having influences from CANDYMAN, INSIDIOUS, and even INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM. I hope you enjoy... THE BLOOD WITCH.

Watch now! The Blood Witch will remain on YouTube, but may temporarily come down when it embarks on its festival run in 2025.
