It's a truck that belongs to NFL great Warren Moon.

I thought it was about a pickup truck full of people mooning the Moon. I was mistaken. 0:40

*pffff-*

Hi Kellie , At least she didn't look at the moon as her mom said not to. so she did sort of listen to mom & hey it's what little ones do . In the end she faired much better than the adults LOL...

@@paullevine1813 Very true!

@@paullevine1813 She never actually told the girl not to look at the moon though. She just kept asking if she looked at it. It was bothering me because I thought she'd look at the moon out of curiosity.

I think if she didn't run when her dad was coming at her mom she may have gotten hurt, and I think she knew that. She also probably guessed that looking at the moon is a bad thing at least based on her dads behaviour.

@@gamarleton Yeah, she turned out to be a smart little kid, thank goodness.

Same here.

All the praise is well deserved!

You need to reshoot the scene of the warning on the woman's phone. It doesn't come through at all.

Oh wow. So you were one of the 5 million people in the end credits?

I want insta id of beautiful actress pls help me

When you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreaming, signore👁‍🗨👁‍🗨

I love this 😭

*moon strike

I plan on being here for the premiere since I don't have anything foreseeable going on, but, in case I can't, will this be available after the premiere?

@@mauramahon7685 Forever!

@@TelekinesisStudios, awesome! Thank you. Can't wait for the premiere.

@@TelekinesisStudios pretty sure I saw a no sleep post about the same exact plot a few years ago

Great job guys

Weirdly, this might be the highest praise we’ve ever gotten! I’ll make sure Shona sees this!

@@TelekinesisStudios I’m curious; was this story inspired by a creepypasta? I remember reading a creepypasta that I came across in 2017 that was basically the same idea as this; this eldritch extraterrestrial force that corrupts the moon causing people to stare at it until they died.

Why u lying to urself bro

I agree with cookie

I thought exactly the same thing!!!

Give us an honest critique: How was our moon shot at the end? I'm proud of it, but I'd love an expert's honest opinion! -alan

​@@TelekinesisStudios I'm assuming that shot was taken during a Lunar Eclipse. I like how it has a blueish hue that matches the same blue hue color that was shining in the windows. One thing that I would've changed for that shot at the end was maybe raise the exposure just a little bit, just to give it that bright shine that was beaming in the windows

I love the moon too

Me too

Oh no! I've ruined me for you!

@@JonathanDecker So I wasn't imagining things! I didn't know you were in this; it just popped up in my recommendations. Creepy!

​@@JonathanDecker I love your therapy channel!!

The scariest comments are the comments that have the word 'wholesome' in them! I FFF-ING HATE THAT WORD, 🤮🤮🤮

He's really amazing in real life - and such a great therapist!

You should watch Channel 58

They stole the idea from an analog horror channel. Hope they aren’t claiming that they came up with it

It’s literally a stolen idea from the channel Local 58. Local 58 is brilliant. It may not make sense on the surfaceX but the channel Nexpo has a fantastic breakdown of it. A few, actually

@@DJ_Cub THANK YOU!

Ohh I thought the sun should be the scary one… but yeah moon’s creatures are scarier 😂

love u

Good Job Guys! Please do more! Cheers!

There was too much jump scares and screeching noises tbh lol, not being mean but it ruined it for me. First jumpscare was great and made me jump, so 10 out of 10 for that one. After that though serious diminishing returns, i think. it also started off really creepy because you don't know what's going on and then it started going a bit downhill (in my opinion). When loud noises and jump scares are over used I think they start becoming a bit obnoxious instead of scary. I really don't think you need that much at all in it once the dread has been built up, especially since it's a short film. I think if you would have skipped the glowing eyes and loud noises it would have been way more creepy and would be more effective horror by building dread. Jump scares are great though when built up, but not when it's the majority of the horror. I think it's better to make the audience guess what's going on than having it shoved in your face like that, it's very on the nose. I think you could have also dragged it out a bit more for suspense too. I understand it's a short film but I think an extra few minutes of the mother walking around the house trying to figure out what was going on would have made the revelations towards the end more frightening. It's probably a bit challenging to pull of in a short film but No way at all impossible to perfect. An idea how you could have made it less on the nose is having her walk around the living room closing the blinds (having the father out of shot) with the daughter at the top of the stairs. Both the mother and daughter not knowing the father was standing in the room until she turns round. It could have been a natural jump scare doing it like that. The child would have been scared at the mother jumping back and maybe might have tried to come downtstairs worried about her mother, so you could have had the mother have numerous things to panic about. She can't look at him directly because the blinds are open and is right in front of her so she has to talk to him while she is looking away. She could maybe be dazed from hitting her head or something and would have trouble speaking as clearly. His voice could be very slow slightly warped and uncanny sounding, kind of like how you did towards the end too. Would make the audience guess if it was because she hit her head or because he's changed or controlled by something. Just an idea how I think it could have been a bit more scary and fear inducing. There is a lot of things you guys did well. The acting was pretty good, I was expecting worse. I did love the way he moved when he was standing at the window though, it was very uncanny and weird. That gentle swaying is a bit unsettling, at least for me anyway lol. I can see everyone involved put a lot of effort into it. I hope I didn't seem overly critical of your work, I still enjoyed it. I really love horror, and maybe hope to make my own one day if I ever got the time.

It's clearly modeled after the L58 story, though. The first 80% is exactly like many other Local58-inspired shorts, right down to the scenes and shots. The difference? They acknowledge and celebrate it. That's the way to get respect. The route of denial that you're taking is the one that fails 100% of the time.

It is quite possible someone switched 🌝 with a 🌞

Well they stole the entire premise from the channel Local 58

@@Hey_Jamie Stop.

I find it goofy that when he asked about her trusting, she didn't immediately respond: "BECAUSE YOUR FUCKING EYES ARE GLOWING!"

@@alejandrinos Not to mention attacking her twice while screaming about the moon.

​@@dreadcthulhu5I mean he is right this is straight up ripped from the classic that is local 58 but that doesn't mean it's not executed extremely well.

Prova ad ascoltare o a leggere i sottotitoli automatici tradotti del video "Apollo 30" del "Border Nights".

"Then, a horror was revealed... a figure so ghastly, so beyond our ken, that I won't bother to describe it because reasons."

What makes you think it couldn't happen in real life?

cicada3301

​@@MisterFanwankI can't think of anything that could cause the moon to suddenly be hazardous or to somehow drive people mad. If it's the light then it would have to be the sun or something somehow new changing the light as it reflects off of the moon. If it's the moon itself then by what mechanism could it possibly affect the mental health of those who look at it while not having done so in the past?

It could happen in real life. That's what scares me.

@@dizzybee7386how??

It makes the scene even more terrifying

I'm so glad that it _actually_ creeped you out! Thank you so much!

@@TelekinesisStudios someone did a eas video about the moon

was it pretty?

@@lilyofluck371 :Oc

yet the first thing she did was to put the idea of looking at the moon into the childs head

Exactly. Not only that, when she locks her daughter and herself in the bedroom, she locks the door and just sits on the bed. Her crazed husband easily bursts through the door and gets to them. How dumb is that? She should have immediately moved heavy furniture in front of the door to block him out. It’s like she had a secret death wish.

Imagine a therapist with glowing eyes chasing you around their office while screaming - "Why won't you let me help you?"

😂😂😂😂😂

I have to send this to my therapist! 😅😅😅

Exactly!!

There's more than an hour of BTS content coming! Stay tuned!

Is your Vampire Hunter D movie on KZfaq?

Thats really awesome! Im a big fan of VHD. As a professional film composer, I would love to be a part of a project like that.

@@TelekinesisStudios why were the person's eyes glowing anyway

Where can we see this fan film?

🤞🏻

Local 58 did it first

@@Hey_Jamie Coming from someone whose channel has nothing original about it.

@@dreadcthulhu5 Why are you white knighting these guys? Also, are you saying that the Local 58 channel has nothing original about it? Is it because it's analog horror even though it's literally what started the subgenre?

@@troin3925 First of all the idea of the moon causing madness is ancient and dates back to the 1540s. Hence the term lunacy. Why is anyone surprised that a few different people might make a video about it at the same time? If anything it's more surprising that it took someone so long to do it. Second of all, the moon is beautiful regardless of whether or not it is causing insanity. No one disputes this. Humans have had a fascination with it for as long as we have stared at the night sky. We have made numerous stories and theories about it and anthropomorphized it as a god or goddess throughout many cultures. Third, the term for coming up with a similar idea as someone else at the same time has a number of terms including zeitgeist, multiple discovery and simultaneous invention. It has happened many times throughout history. It will happen again in future. Fourth, white knighting is a lame term used by people with no argument to try and discredit those who disagree with them. It's really no different than calling anyone who says something you don't like sexist or racist to try to shut them down. Once you resort to calling people names it is a sure sign of having lost the argument. Be better than that. And make better arguments as well.

Whose masterpiece is it? Because I see no credit given to Local 58

Same. I came here immediately because I’m binge watching their channel

...Just watch "Bird box" then 😒

@@dnationapocalypse seen it about 5 times…

@@nunyabizniz1983Watch part two

Now we need a movie about the real baddie in the sky, the sun.

I was thinking it almost had to be inspired by the first local 58 video.

Ok thats what I thought this was based off of.... It's not? LoL

@@dominickscalpi5686 Nope, in another comment Alan says how he wrote this awhile ago. Not even sure he'd seen local 58 by the time this went into production. Not even sure he's watched at all 😅

Crazy I had to go past so many comments to see this.

I thought of Local 58 soon as I saw the thumbnail. It does feel like a companion piece to Weather Service with this being what's going on away from the alert notice.

It’s not creative. The idea is stolen from the analog horror channel Local 58

@@Hey_Jamie They already commented on this. It was written long before theirs was released

​@@wednesdaysartcastle9018local 58 is years old I sincerely doubt they weren't at least inspired somewhat. Now that's not a bad thing.

Why did you start with “okay but” as if no one liked it except you? That’s a worse opening phrase than “why is no one talking about...” when everyone is

@@Hey_Jamiebuddy we get it you don’t do your research

David Sandberg is one of my personal heroes. -Alan

I _AM_! I actually wrote this way back before Local 58 had made anything, only learned about it around 9 months ago, but it's great!

@@TelekinesisStudios That's awesome!! I can't wait for your full length film!

Many thanks!

The score is so terrific!!! Great job!

@Andrew Havrylei - Please, you and everyone you know, stay unharmed. If I had a fighter tank, I would send it to you.

I’m actually tearing up right now. (Surprise) -alan

Yeah

I think it makes it creepier knowing how he'd actually like

I think it accidentally is, indirectly. I based it on a Reddit writing prompt that was posted a few months after Local 58. So either the Redditor happened to have the same idea (very possible) or just took the Local 58 idea, and re-contextualized it (also possible, and fine.) I hadn't _seen_ Local 58 until after I wrote and shot this, but wow. It's really creepy and fun!
