Tagline
Have your cake...and it eats you.

The Candle is a propulsive horror/comedy short full of screams, gore and frosting. A crowd pleaser with no lessons to be learned, just the pleasure of empty calories. You know what they say, never skip dessert!

Dark, absurd, campy and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About
