13 Irish Short Films To Terrify You This Friday The 13th

Since it's Friday the 13th, we think some readers might be looking for a good scare tonight. We'd very much like to oblige you.

The Irish practically invented the horror genre – with the likes of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla – and our modern storytellers are keeping the spooky tradition up.

The list of short films below include creepy atmospheric types, some violent ones, and a few jump scares. We won't tell you which ones are which though, that'd just spoil the fun.

Prepare to be thoroughly freaked out...
