3 Top Short Horror Films About a Blind Date and the Nightmares That Come With It

One of the major truths about the horror genre is the fact that the very best stories out there end up based -- or at the very least inspired by -- true events. Sometimes even real events. There's nothing better than putting out a scary story that's based on the horrific events, though, associated with dating!

Well, as Long as the Dates Are of the HORROR Kind

Namely blind dates. Or even first dates. You know what we're talking about. You swipe on Tinder, or you get that notification from eHarmony or Match.com, and you have no idea whether or not that other person on the other end of the screen could be a serial killer or a supernatural digital demon preying on the pixels inside your device to steal your soul.

That's the genre these days. Still going strong on the tried-and-true trope of the unknown, and these horror film shorts certainly take the cake as far as what goes bump in the night either during a one-night stand or dinner and a movie.

Think about it. Michael Jackson was one of the first to herald that in his video Thriller! That was a "date," that turned into -- yes, you guessed it -- a nightmare.

So check out these horror film shorts for yourself. And make sure you get that background check of the person you're about to take to the beach for a walk out in the moonlight.
