WORLD OF DEATH EP4 – “Marsupials” / “Dead Crossing”
After reading the comments on episode 3 I am pleased to see that it looks to be our best received episode to date. World of Death has been live for two weeks now and I can happily say that we’re off to a solid start! People’s opinions stretch from one side of the spectrum to the next, but overall it looks like everyone has found enjoyment out of one or more WOD short film. But for those of you in the audience who are looking for something specific, let us know what it is! With over 250 short films to currently choose from, and an ever-growing catalog, there truly is something for every horror fan in World of Death. And if you don’t see something you like, go out and make a short horror film and submit it to be a part of WOD. I receive new submissions on a daily basis and would love to see people create new movies inspired by the creation of our World of Death community.
Remember, World of Death is a forum for independent filmmakers, whether they’re new to the game or seasoned professionals, to showcase their creativity. You never know which WOD’er will be tomorrow’s James Wan, Ti West, or Fede Alvarez. So continue to watch, support, and enjoy all that World of Death has to offer.
If you read my post about episode 3 you will know how excited I am about presenting episode 4 to horror fans out there. First up, we have “Marsupials”, an animated short helmed by Australian Nathan Armstrong. This is quite possibly the most fucked up cartoon I’ve ever seen and am damn proud to include it in WOD. You’ve never seen the Outback portrayed like this!
Second up is “Dead Crossing”, the first short film from rising star Gigi Saul Guerrero. Gigi’s Luchagore team wowed audiences around the festival circuit last year with their tremendous short film “El Gigante”, which helped line up a feature project they are currently working on. A mover and a shaker, Gigi is certainly a horror director to keep an eye on folks, but for right now, check out her early work to see where it all started.
World of Death is the web series that fans of independent horror have been waiting for. Featuring short horror films from all over the globe created by the largest variety of talent that a collection has ever been able to boast, WOD provides plenty of blood, guts, screams and laughs for all fans of the macabre. And with episodes averaging around eight minutes in length, WOD is the perfect entertainment for a fan base constantly on the go. Watch it anywhere, at any time, for FREE!

Norway’s deepest fjord isn’t just unleashing a mythic monster in Kraken, but its monstrous deep sea parasites as well.
Watch our exclusive clip below, which introduces the skittering, skin-crawling aquatic menaces on the attack.
Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the Kraken in select theaters and on digital June 12.
Here’s the synopsis: “A marine biologist encounters several strange occurrences while researching a fjord, including the brutal deaths of two local teenagers. At the bottom of Norway’s deepest fjord rests a mythical monster as large as a mountain, with a myriad of arms ready to crush and devour anything they can grab.”
Pål Øie (The Tunnel) directs from a script by Vilde Eide, Kjersti Jelen Rasmussen, and Natasha Arthur.
Sara Khorami (Troll 2), Mikkel Bratt Silset, Øyvind Brandtzæg, Jenny Evensen, Ingvild Holthe Bygdnes, Jon Erik Myre, Hans Morten Hansen, Steinar Klouman Hallert, and Filip Bargee Ramberg star.
The behemoth beast from the deep is the latest kaiju-sized aquatic creature harboring a horde of bloodthirsty parasites, joining the likes of Cloverfield and Underwater. Naturally, the Kraken itself serves as the much bigger threat.
It’s also about time that the Kraken received its own feature; though Meg 2: The Trench featured a Kraken-like beast in its climax, the Kraken hasn’t been fully unleashed since Clash of the Titans.
Watch out for the Kraken in limited theaters and on VOD this Friday.
