An Animatronic Santa Head Spreads Holiday Fear in Christmas Horror Short ‘Jolly’ [Video]
If you’re looking for festive frights that will only take up a few minutes of your time, the new short from the Midnight Video team of Todd Spence and Zak White should do the trick.
Titled Jolly, the 4-minute holiday horror short centers on an animatronic Santa head that seems jolly at first, but soon starts talking and behaving… well, like pure nightmare fuel.
The creepy and suspenseful short sees the decapitated Santa head counting down the seconds until he delivers a very special present to his unlucky owner at midnight….
Jolly was directed by Todd Spence, written by Spence and Zak White.
Developer/publisher Black Hand has announced that their upcoming occult wild west game The Dark West will be receiving a playable demo on Steam next week on June 10. In addition, the devs have released a new trailer for the game, which highlights the combat, enemies, and boss battles that define the game’s cruel western landscape.
Set in a cursed frontier where faith clashes with damnation and once-living towns collapse into nightmares, The Dark West is a gritty action RPG shaped by greed, black magic, and the belief that power always comes at a price. The land bears the curse of people who got too greedy, and paid the price for what they were willing to do for it.
Two sides have risen from the ruin. The Order speaks of justice and wears it like armor, unwilling to see the rot growing among its own. Meanwhile, The Damned are already claimed by black magic, cursed and unapologetic about what it has made of them. The real danger is not what waits in the dark, but who’s standing behind you when the killing begins.
Players will choose characters shaped by difficult pasts, where violence settles most questions, and the rest are answered by choices that haunt your soul. In keeping with the Wild West theme, alcohol will give you strength, but at the obvious cost of dulling your senses, requiring you to weigh your options in battle.
