Screamify’s Micro Horrors™ are vertical horror series cut into short episodes for your phone. The question is how much of your night each one takes. We sorted the four that are streaming now from quickest to longest, and added the one that’s on its way.
1. In Sight: one episode
In Sight is a single-episode Micro Found Footage™ short. A young woman in Nashville is followed by a stalker. The poster says “You don’t know who’s watching.” You can finish it in one go.
2. Autonomous: 16 episodes
Autonomous comes to under half an hour in total, which makes it the best value on this list. A couple takes a driverless robotaxi home at night. The car picks its own route. Then it stops, because someone is standing in the road. Directed by Kyle Valle, starring Erin Áine and Domenic Jungling.
3. Scary Mary: 20 episodes
Two wannabe streamers summon a demon for views. Scary Mary, directed by Joshua Alden, has the funniest episode titles on the slate, including “Girl Talk with a Demon Babe” and “You can’t kill people Mary!!” Lexie and Becka (Belexie) are in way over their heads.
4. Game Night: Survive the Slasher: 32 episodes
The longest series on the slate. Trent Duncan wrote and directed Game Night, where a casual game night turns into a fight to survive a masked slasher. Save it for a whole evening.
Bonus round: Raven Mocker, coming later this year
20 episodes, a Screamify Original written by John White and directed by Gabe McCauley. The listing teases a heart-eating witch out of Cherokee legend, a Civil War love story that never ended, and three teenagers in 1971 who walk straight into it. No release date yet, just later this year.
