October Spotlight
Meat Puppet
Directed by Eros V | Comedy/Horror | 12 min
In October’s Spotlight Short, a man-child inadvertently traps himself inside a puppet, and there’s only one way out…
Meat Puppet is a hilarious and twisted body horror—a.k.a., the perfect way to kick off spooky season. Director Eros V describes his style as “balls to the wall, all killer no filler thrill ride entertainment with a very bizarre twist.” If that doesn’t intrigue you, not sure what will!
Meat Puppet won the SXSW Special Jury Award for Best Midnight Shorts. The film also screened at the Three Rivers Film Festival as part of the Chiller Theater Shorts Block in 2024.
