Cool Horror Videos: Henrique Couto’s Christmas Presence

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Stunningly prolific independent filmmaker Henrique Couto is no stranger to telling stories set on holidays, having made movies that occur around Halloween (the slasher BABYSITTER MASSACRE), Thanksgiving (the comedy AWKWARD THANKSGIVING), and Christmas (the family film A BULLDOG FOR CHRISTMAS). 

Couto has now returned to the Christmas setting, but this time has taken a horror approach to the season, gifting us all with a 5 minute 4K short called CHRISTMAS PRESENCE.

The set-up: 

Mary takes over her friends babysitting job on Christmas Eve, but something more than yuletide spirit is loose in the house…

Starring Julia Gomez, Alia Gabrielle Eckhardt, Erin R. Ryan, Adam Clevenger, and Bradley Diehl, the short is the perfect way to help a horror fan get into the holiday spirit. Check it out below and enjoy!
