Welcome to the Official Return of Short Horror Film Friday featuring Tuck Me In Double Feature. First We have the Original 2014 Version of Tuck Me In Directed by Ignacio Rodo followed by the Remake Tribute Tuck Me In By Homemade Horror. Now there is a Reason for This Double Billing if You Will which is Both Versions have a Minuscule Running time of just 60 Seconds. With such an Extremely Exceptional One Minute running Time Tuck Me In may very well be the First Micro Horror Movie ever made.
The Term Micro Horror is a Nod to one of the Unique Aspects of the Grindcore Music Genre: the Micro Song. There’re Songs by Grindcore Bands (Such as Anal Cunt, Insect Warfare, SCAT, Pig Destroyer, Brutal Truth, and Nuclear Assault for example) that are Only Seconds in Length. In Fact the British Grindcore/Death Metal Band Napalm Death hold the Guinness World Record for the Shortest Song ever Recorded with the Their One Second “You Suffer”.
Tuck Me In reminds Me of the The World’s Shortest Horror Story ever written by Fredric Brown Titled Knock that consists of only Two Sentences:
“The Shortest Horror Story:
The Last an On Earth sat Alone in a Room. There was a Knock o the Door.”
You See Fredric Brown’s Knock, Grindcore’s Micro Songs, and Micro Horror Films (and Traditional Short Films) are Proof beyond All that You Don’t need to Write a 300 Page Book, Record an Album of 12 Minute Songs, or Film a 6 Hour Movie to produce Viable Product. Artists have the Newer found Freedom to Essentially tell the Audience “Here is My Art and I’m going to keep it Short, Simple, Focused, and to the Point.”
Now On with the Show. Enjoy.

The Remake Tribute to Tuck Me In By Homemade Horror
Homemade Horror had this to Say about Their take on Tuck Me In:
“Bedtime doesn’t go as planned in this short horror film with a twist. This is a remake and tribute to Tuck Me In, one of the best short horror films I’ve ever seen. We put a little twist in the end to make it our own. It was done in a day with an iPhone, iMovie, and simple original score using a keyboard. Lots of fun. Cheers!”
Enjoy.
We Hope You Enjoyed This One Minute of Madness as Much as We Did.
Thanks for Watching,
