EPISODE 4: A gleeful, fear-fueled ghoul picks the wrong high-strung yuppie to screw with.

A nice little episode where the human is more scary than the monster. Which, I guess, is kinda the theme and running gag of this series.

It’s short, it’s essentially one joke, and it made me laugh. What more could you want in a web series?

I guess this is the last episode. Too bad. But you can go and give them money on Indiegogo if you want a second season!

I can’t wait for season two! Will it have to be out in October for Halloween? Congrats, guys, on making a fun show. More people should watch!

EPISODE 3: What’s scarier, a creepy roommate doing God knows what at all hours of the night and the screams coming from his room? Or his constant bitching?

“You’re just not that easy to live with.”

Ha!  Like the previous episodes of this series, it’s all about reversal of expectations driving the humour.  And this fine episode is no exception.  Imagine Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon—if they were serial killing roommates.  Well, one of them anyways.  I’ll let you decide which one.

The filmmakers do a great job turning the old horror film clichés on their head, which is what makes us laugh.  Is that suspicious screaming really going on in the room down the hall?  Yes.  Yes, it is!  Is my roommate really a serial killer?  Yes.  This time, it is the person you most expect!

From the eerie musical stings to the jaundice-green tone, the series presents visually as a horror show, which makes the domesticity and ordinariness of the conversations all the more absurd and funny.

And it’s about the right length—not so long as to milk the joke dead—no pun intended.

I have no idea why this series has so few views, but check it out!  You’re guaranteed to have a slashing time!

Episode 2: You know the rules. If you get it on, you’re going down. But what happens when one guy just can’t seal the deal?

Horror comedy indeed.

This episode of the tragically overlooked web series “Co-op of the Damned” takes on the cliche of the psycho killer who kills people who have sex – but what’s a psycho killer to do if his intended victim isn’t getting any?

That’s right, he takes matters into his own hands.

Disturbingly hilarious. Not quite as funny as the first one, but still awesome.

Episode 1: A malignant spirit that’s always told people to “get out” finally lets someone in.

Written in blood: “I’m sorry. And my name’s Gary.”

I found this series stumbling around YouTube, while waiting for Community: Dean Pelton’s Office Hours to not load.

It’s a pretty recent series, but not one that I heard of before, and doesn’t have many views at all. Too bad, cause it is actually pretty funny.

A guy moves into a new apartment, and discovers it is possessed by an evil spirit. When the spirit tries to get him to leave, the guy gives him attitude right back. I don’t want to ruin the rest of it for, you but let’s just say you’ve never seen anyone do that to a demon possessed living space before. Very funny, first episode, nice and short. And even the slightly rough production values add a charm to it that helped draw me in.
