Get Off My Porch(Short)

"Get Off My Porch" is a short by director Patrick Rea, that could easily fit into a fall themed anthology. The short tells the story of Neill Marshall(haha) An average husband, trying to make the most out of his wife being out of the house. Neill is catching up on some football watching, and potato chip eating, when he is interrupted by the door bell. He is greeted by a chipper "adventure girl" trying to sell him cookies, in order to get her troop new uniforms. When turned down, it becomes clear that this isn't your average girl scout. Neil soon notices strange occurrences, with the girls making cookie deliveries to his neighbors at almost midnight, so he decides to call the police, to report the strange goings on, only to be told by the police to buy a box of cookies.

While it's not Halloween themed, "Get Off My Porch" really has that "Trick r Treat" feel to it. The director does a good job at portraying the fact that it's fall. It just oozes October. Rea also does a good job at capturing that old school "Tales From The Darkside" feeling of oddity. I hope to see a feature length film out of him soon, I think he has some real talent.
