I know the whole "everyone hates the horror shorts and only wants spongebob" sentiment is just something made up for the ARG, but seriously, these horror shorts are awesome. It lasts just long enough to get across the cool concept and doesn't dwell on unnecessary details

"Okay, fuck this." - no horror movie protagonist ever

His concepts for these films are way more creative, interesting, and even more thought provoking than the majority of full length films released today. That’s my opinion but everything from the spiral time dilation video to this one where he wakes up to a car accident is fantastic creativity. It’s not just a scary monster or a maniac serial killer, it’s more intricate.

This video has a delicate balance between horror and satire, I appreciate it. Love your work btw Alex!

"Okay, fuck this." Is the most appropriate response to spooky shit happening in your house. Looking forward to the next short!

“Okay f*ck this” Clearly Alex would be the only one to survive a horror movie

"We've been trying to reach you to remind you of your car's extended warranty" is the epitome of annoying scaryness. I too would be creeped out if there was a shadow monster trying to get me to extend my warranty.

Came for the ARG, stayed for these fucking great horror shorts. Seriously so good. I think this one is my favorite

'Oh fuck this,' is the most relatable sentiment.... EVER to this shit.

Gotta love the fact that ARG got so far, that Alex now has to put into his description that a video on his channel is not related to it xD

Biggest problem with these horror shorts is they don't have an eye-catching thumbnail so when it appears in someone's sub box or feed they'll often scroll past it. UKposts just doesn't reward aesthetic thumbnails but rather flashy or weird ones with big, bright text, arrows and usually over-the-top faces. Which is a shame because these are so great. You always catch me off guard with what you actually try to achieve in these.

This was hilarious, I love these comedy/horror shorts like with the Velma animation and the straight up horror stuff. The, "Okay f*ck this." And the, "What the fu-" cut off at the end were so funny, this is such a realistic take on if real people would react to this situation.

I JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE "Okay, fuck this."

The transition from her there to his face in the air bag is just so flawless ❤

Wow!! I never thought I would enjoy a short horror film this much! The cinematic look you give in the video is really beautiful and I must say, I’m very impressed with the lighting and way you created the whole atmosphere. The monster was well designed with a slim, tall, mysterious and simple design. I almost got the chills when I saw it, thinking it was going to be cliche by jumping out or something, but no, the transition with the car was unexpected and very smooth. I must say, this is just astounding and I found the ending hilarious making this video even more enjoyable. Please please make more!! I’d also love it if you could maybe create a video on how you do these cinematic looks and how you made the monster! I would be impressed if it was photoshop or even a costume with a green screen, because already, I can tell I’m already going to be addicted with these shorts haha! 😂✨

i think i figured out why i like your films so much. its the straightforwardness of the horror. theres no dramatic buildup to a jumpscare. its a subtle buildup to a blunt reveal of the horror. its really amazing how you can do that and make the horror element natural.

Okay, I’m gonna be honest, I love this. It’s short and to the point, the monster’s design is simple but so incredibly effective, the very IDEA is bonechillingly terrifying, and the execution makes it 100 times better, it’s amazing. Like all memes and series aside, you’re an incredible filmmaker, and I can’t wait to see what else you create.

this was a marvelous jump scare and I don't even like horrors, you are really talented cinematographer

okay first of all, this is AMAZING, and second of all, it's been taking long to make another spongebob, that means its gonna be A BANGER

Short stories and pieces like this are my favorite for a reason. All killer, no filler. Come for the Spongebob, stay for the horror shorts.

Alex may be the smartest horror movie character ever seen.

I like how the monster doesn't have any specific name, it's just "Spooky Lady" lol

I never even heard of this channel until the Happy Meat Farms video's, then after finding what I could I decided I had nothing to lose and clicked on this video. . . wow, you're incredible dude, actual chills. . . I'm genuinely impressed.

This was an excellent mix of off putting, relatable, and humor. I literally got a chill when we saw the “voice call demon”. Not only that but the lighting for that sene was amazing.

WHY ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO GET HIM TO STOP MAKING HORROR FILMS, THESE ARE SO ENJOYABLE! The spongebob theories are amazing too though, let him do both.

My heart fucking dropped when the voice continued and it cut to the lady. You are an outstanding film maker don't let anyone tell you any different

I love these horror films! Please keep making these, and do something about the cow in your basement...

1:37 yes! Alex Bale is back, and NOT “The Spongebob Guy”

As hilarious as this is, a part of me was hoping nothing supernatural was going to happen and the whole joke was going to be "and the true horror, was spam calls"

I've only seen a few of these horror shorts, but if I can be honest, I genuinely enjoy these films. They are extremely chilling, unsettling, and exceptionally edited and filmed. People really need to take a look at your other works other than SpongeBob, I may have started on this xhannels with those theories, but I can say without a shadow of a doubt, I'll be staying for the horror films. Well done sir, well done. Never let anyone influence what you want to do. If your dream is these short films, than damn the views and damn the statistics and algorithm. Do what feeds your soul, not what feeds others! Those who enjoy, respect, and admire your work will come, with just a bit of patience! Keep it up!

CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE THIS GUY IS DOING HIS OWN THING and not be forced to do Spongebob theories

1:19 this scared the fuck out of me. These films are good. I’m not only here for the SpongeBob theories. I actually enjoy your work.

I love the humor in this short, and the design of the "car's extended warranty" monster

I'm glad you can take a break from the ARG for this, you're a true master at this. I love the twist at the end

Keep up the good work I just found your channel and was obsessed with the SpongeBob theory’s but the horror shorts are just as good as I found

Man you’ve gotten so much skill since the promo days. I’m a long time fan and always have loved your content! Tons of series all with Arg elements, one off short films and enough 4th way breaks to make a whole new wall.

Love the handheld shot, very spooky

the scariest part of this is that this guy doesn't have his phone on silent in all seriousness though, awesome short! i love all your videos but short films have a special place in my heart

I had a feeling this was part of the Candy Bowl! It was mentioned that an Inside a Mind featured creator was excluded for that reason. It’s a shame, you’re so talented, and I’m still so happy that you covered the Wanna be friends topic in one of your videos last year!

Probably my favorite video of yours so far! I got a genuine laugh out of this! I needed it. And the graphics are amazing too! Keep making more please!

1:16 How real people would react in a horror movie 😂😂

I love this so dang much, it’s so short but effective, and then it’s just funny. Good job!

This was actually so good bro

Man, I came here for spongebob theories but honestly I'm starting to like your horror shorts way better.

Honestly one of your best works, your acting in this is great too! Wonderful job Alex!

This is probably the most cinematic Alex Bale short film i've seen on a long time.

That transition from the jump scare to the car accident was excellent

Please keep the good work up! Your SpongeBob Theories are amazing, don't get me wrong, but you can't cast away gems like these.

This is bringing a meme into horror, also that was an amazing ending!

This is probably the best short story I've ever scene, it has comedy, it has suspense, it has a twist ending, perfect.

This actually gave me a small jump. I wish these videos got as much appreciation as your spongebob ones do. Love your work!

I love your films man, always so creative and funny and eerie. And the ARG stuff you're doing?! Incredible work alex. Fr

I genuinely wonder how child alex bale would think about if he saw this video...probably pride due to how good quality it is.

Saw this on Night Mind’s channel earlier, it is one of the greatest shorts you’ve ever made, in my opinion Alex!

that transition was so good

Really like that alex keeps his og content and the spongebob thing goin love it keep up the work alex

Alex: This is not part of the ARG Everyone: Hm, this is useless!

As a cinematographer I wish his projects got more attention

This is so good! I love the framing and shots so much 🥰

This was actually really good! Would love more horror shorts like this

On Halloween day this is exactly wt I needed

Awesome I'm glad he's back to horror shorts can't wait to see more.

Ghost lady aside, this feels sorta like a dark comedy

I can understand many people only want spongebob theories but CONSIDER WATCHING THE HORROR SHORTS. It doesn’t hurt to try something new and they are incredibly underrated, entertaining, and funny. Both the spongebob and horror content is good Alex. Can’t wait to see what things you have planned for us

Hi SpongeBob Guy💀🔥

This genuinely makes me fearful now when I get one of these calls.

You’re a legend! Hope you keep up with the horror shorts!

The cinematography is so good dude. And the ambience. And the… everything!

I never knew that I needed a horror short about my car's extended warranty, yet here I am, unimaginably happy that there's a horror shot about my car's extended warranty...

Holy crap, never have I gotten jump-scared and felt creeped out while laughing so hard in the end-looking forward to the next horror short!

glad to see you still making horror shorts, don't get me wrong I love your Spongebob Theories, but its nice to watch a good horror short every now and again. Keep doing great things man!

this was both bone-chilling and hilarious the way you managed to make this a roller coaster of emotions was awesome

tonight has been stressful and this really picked up my mood! this is awesome Alex!

This is actually so creative. Keep doing what you're doing man!

Very impressive work man, keep it up! Love the use of subversive subtext and suspense

Love these shorts. Please make sure to keep a healthy balance between what the ppl want and what makes your heart happy💕💕

literally was just binging a whole bunch of your videos and then I see this.

Yo this is sick, keep up the good work! Personally I enjoy this more than the spongebob theories

I liked this one a lot. The setup was good, the scare with the phone audio and lady was well done and the abrupt twist ending got a chuckle from me

Ngl your editing/timing is just *Chefs kiss* excellent content my dude

I feel horrors and comedies are linked. Somehow while trying to do one you create the other's desired effect. Like I found this funny, but a clown asking if I want to hear a joke will terrify me. Still great though, clicked as soon as I saw the notification.

Keep the horror shorts up Alex! This is amazing work and I'm glad your still doing it, upload what you want to upload!

You're so creative, I loved the twist. keep up the great work!!

I seen way too many memes about the "Car's Extended Warranty."

I'm surprised his Muse allowed him to create this horror short, since it seemed to favor spongebob theories so much.

Not the ending I was expecting but it definitely did it’s job. Fantastic job!

OMG I LOVED THIS SM, you’re extremely talented Alex keep it up🙏🏾🙏🏾

Bruh I want more short films from you, this was amazing!

This is my new favorite Alex Bale short! It's so funny! Keep doing what you're doing Alex!

A meme become a horror story 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Man, i know you've heard/read this alot of times but your works is just *mwa* master piece, what a great filmer. More success projects to come, the chills it gave me for a short amount if time. And the humour at end ah! No wasted time 👍💯 i always look forward to your videos.

Dam, I didn't expect that scare at the end, it's seriously creative! I love it! I can't wait to see more horror shorts from you!

Alex, you have incredible talent and huge potential I love your work. Never stop chasing this dream man, it’s nice to see someone doing what they love.

DUDE WHAT THE HELL YOU CANT JUST HANG UP WHAT IF THEY WERE TRYING TO REACH YOU ABOUT YOUR CARS EXTENDED WARRANTY OR SOMETHING?

Your short films don't get enough regocnition! This is absolutely amazing!

THIS GENUINELY SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME

This happens to me almost every day. I feel your pain Alex I really do.

Amazing im glad that you still make horror short :D

Honestly Alex this is as good as your SpongeBob theories please continue to make these as well as those I look forward to the next one😁

i don’t get scared easily but the cut to that woman standing in the hallway with the disembodied voice continuing the automated response was fucking terrifying
