The Green Ruby Pumpkin of Halloween horror
This rather awesome Halloween short story is a project by Miguel Ortega and Tran Ma. They’re both visual effect artists. The entire project was made in the living room. No? You can see the making of here and its fantastic (even if they have a green screen in their living room).
Afterschool Midnighters review
