El Libro del Mangkukulam The Witch's Book

Title: El Libro del Mangkukulam (The Witch's Book)
In this 10-minute light horror comedy, a group of college friends preparing for their Spanish oral exam accidentally unleashes chaos after discovering a mysterious old book in Ana’s home — once owned by her eccentric Aunt Corazon, a heartbroken woman rumored to have become a (witch).
What begins as a harmless study session turns into supernatural mayhem when Ana jokingly reads an ancient incantation aloud, causing eerie winds, flickering lights, and moving objects to terrorize the group. Amid the chaos, the friends’ bicker, panic, and deliver hilarious one-liners as they piece together that the “witch’s curse” might actually be real.
When Ana finally returns the book and apologizes to her aunt’s spirit, everything seems back to normal — until a photograph falls out, revealing that Corazon’s long-lost lover, Paco, is none other than their Spanish professor. The shocking (and ridiculous) twist leaves the group screaming once again as the lights flicker one last time.
A parody of classic horror tropes mixed with student-life humor, blends supernatural mischief, friendship, and comic timing in a playful reminder that sometimes, old love stories are better left unopened.
