"Somebody there?" Alter has debuted a freaky new horror short film titled The Silent Lay Steady to give you a good scare this summer. This is the latest creation of Canadian filmmaker Travis Laidlaw - we also featured his other horror short Dead House a few years ago. Set in the 1860s, The Silent Lay Steady is about a woman who finds herself alone with the body after a funeral in her farmhouse. As mysterious occurrences start to occur she is forced to confront a horrifying truth. This stars Katrina Elmsley as Josephine, with Spencer Hanson and Justin Hay. With a score composed by Stephanie Kowal. The production design and cinematography in this is outstanding, adding to the creepy atmosphere of the entire thing. Someone needs to seriously give Travis Laidlaw a feature opportunity, because he clearly has the filmmaking prowess. Thanks to Travis for the tip on this. Official...

I’ve got an new short horror film for you to watch today called Dead House. The movie comes from director Travis Laidlaw and follows two men who are renovating a mysterious old house. As they attempt to leave, the building enters lock down and seals them inside. “Unfortunately, the house has different plans for them.”
This is decent horror movie that has a nightmarishly creepy atmosphere. This is definitely a situation that I wouldn’t want to find myself in as it’s filled with all kinds terrible horrors.
The film was actually shot at an old house that the filmmaking team found. It also happens to be the house that director Andy Muschietti shot parts of Stephen King’s It movie in. Laidlaw shot this short right before the It production took over. It’s definitely a great location! I included the full story below the short film...

"Don't listen to him." Yet another horror short to keep you up at night, afraid to go to sleep or look out the window. Dead House is a horror short written and directed by Toronto-based filmmaker Travis Laidlaw. The short is about two men renovating a mysterious old house who try to leave before the building enters lock down, but the house has different plans for them. This was filmed in three days at an existing old house that they found. It's actually the same house that was used to film Andy Muschietti's It movie, and they were able to go and shoot there just before the It crew took over. Dead House stars Virgil Howarth and Redd Ochoa. There's an impressively creepy atmosphere to this, with all kinds of devious tricks & treats waiting within. Dim the lights, put headphones on & crank the volume for an optimal viewing experience.
