Don't Rub Your Eyes

The story

A man rubs at his face, and it doesn't stop where a face should. It's ten seconds of body horror built around one gesture and one change.

How it was made

Don't Rub Your Eyes was made with ShowMaker Studio as a short vertical horror piece.

In ShowMaker, a short like this starts as a script and a cast. The character gets a reference sheet, so the face is the same face before and after it starts to change.

What to take from it

Short horror can rest on one familiar gesture. Everyone has rubbed their eyes, and the scare comes from what happens next.
