"WHAAT THE PHUCK WAS THAAAT?!?!"..... I died laughn😂😂😂😂
I AGREE with U 😂😂😂😂
I was crying
HAHHAHA SAME!!! LOLZYS!!!😂😂
+Micheuala Brown Flip was Da Man!
👍👍👍😄!!!!!
Like everyone else has said, Flip’s “WWHHHHAATTT tf was that” reaction is literally all of us when we hear some shit we know we shouldn’t be hearing. Seriously Flip, we all felt that
Thank you so much for watching!
The Boxleitner Brothers Thank you for making it!
@@shelby67grl This movie was absolutely awesome! Still trying to decide which I enjoy more, this one or Rupert... and yup, it's a tie. Honestly guys, great job. 😊
That my favorite part XD
@The Boxleitner Brothers the guard from 5:20 was the absolute best ...his facial expressions os on point n lol... who is this man........his whole gig was good but when the creepy ish started lol
I think that security guard is the most realistic portrayal of how most people in that situation would actually react 😂
I feel like the security guard is ACTUALLY how somebody would act in this situation - minus going into a dark basement but I mean obviously this is needed for a horror film 🤣
i fucking love the security guard
man, i was rooting for that guy. i like the way he acted lol.
security guard is really good, would love to see him in other projects. Enjoyed this film immensely.
officer flip is everything. so relatable. best original character since sliced bread. 6 stars.
Thank you so much! It was fun playing him. Kinda bummed things ended the way they did. Have a happy holidays! Please subscribe!
This is hilarious like 7:42 his reaction was priceless.
How any average joe would react. XD
i keep repeating it tho HAHAHAA
James Saafi WHAAAT THE FUCK WAS THATTT
James Saafi What the fuck was that
I do that at every weird animal sound!
If there was an award for the best reaction ever, it should go to this protagonist.
Thank you for watching!
Love this movie! It’s sooo realistic!
Shout out to the actor he acts so naturally good!
Oh man..I just loved this guy!!!..So natural acting!!!..please make more films with this guy!
Thank you!
I always loved a concept of a security guard being left alone at night shift in some large apartment or office building, investigating some creepy shit that breaks the reality. This short nailed it just perfectly.
Thank you so much!
Lots of creepy stories on UA-cam specifically covering night guards and weird stuff that happens to them when they're working. I love that genre too.
Last Shift
One of the best random indie horror movies I've come across. Seems most people haven't even heard of it outside of horror enthusiast. Its a shame really, it's done really well for random, low budget type find.
This was one of my favorite horror films. Including the full-length ones. I think it could easily become an amazing full-length movie.
EndlessZoro 100% agree
Really good acting! Believable scares and perfect comedic timing!! Loved this short.
+That one Chick thank you so much!
What role does Rhonda play and how does she know not to go downstairs?
Dylan Dang
She didn't know, she could just tell some suspicious shit was going on. It's fairly obvious even without her note that he should have avoided the door.
GreatNegus How do you know she didn't know?
Dylan Dang because if she really knew, she'd be dead
***** Why? She doesn't have to go down there to know, which brings back to my original question.
Dylan, the beauty of shorts like this is the lack of depth. There's no 15 minutes of character development, no backstory, no introspective gaze into "why' the ghosts act the way they do, no emotional attachment to a character, what is happening right now is all that matters. The ambiguity leaves you w/o an opinion one way or another about whether a character dies
Thanks so much for watching it, JazzyAnimation! don't forget to share with your friends!
Lee Boxleitner How can I participate in these festivals? there are some online? :/// I made a thriller short film, you can see in my channel!
This is what good horror is. Suspense, subtle creeps slowly building the tension and terror. Not the modern crap that relies on jump scares
+Lee Boxleitner omg a horror short with an excellent script to go along with its high production quality i knew it could be done.
+Lee Boxleitner Wowwwwww great short horror film!!!!!
+Lee Boxleitner Good film. Not often you find one of these shorts where the main character is likable. Felt sorry for Flip.
It's absolutely brillant.It's not trying to be scary.It is scary.Keep up the excellent work man!!
Emre Posos I agree totally! It is scary, no trying here.
Most honest horror reactions ever. 👍👍👍
Oh my goodness, that was GREAT! Funny, scary. For a short--solid character development. The security guard was hilarious. Very suspenseful cinematography.
That tiny cat painting at the end kills me, ROFL! He had that pretentious wannabe artiste thing down pat!
7:40 best part, had me laughing.
Ok that was a nice surprise seeing Caitlin “I can’t find my balls” Reilly
Love this security guard actor. Guy is a real acting talent.
How the Hell could 244 people dislike this?! How could even one person?!
THIS DESERVES TO BE A FULL LENGTH MOVIE, GREAT WORK !!!
Thank you so much!!!!!
amazing acting, especially the cop/guard
Tyler Purple thank you! It was sad to see him go
Tyler Purple Thank you!
The security officer is absolutely fantastic 😂
Thank you for watching!
Agreed with the comments that this was the most realistic reaction in any movie or video by a person to something like this I’ve ever seen. Absolutely perfect and funny as hell. Great video
+Bill Deemer thanks so much!
Flip Schubbers is the best thing to come out of UA-cam horror shorts. I need a movie, bring him back, sell him to Netflix. I need more Schubbers in my life.
I'm probably gonna be laughing at "whaaaaat the fuuuuck was that" for a week because that's my reaction to any scary noise in the dark.
Haha! Tell Netflix that! Thank you for watching!
How pleased was I to see that the woefully inadequate Flip is actually WONDERFULLY portrayed by one of the Boxleitner brothers! I could see a series based on the Flip character! LOVE HIM! And i am gonna be looking for more from you guys. Between Die Sitter Die and this...i can't wait to see what's next! BTW, the ghost that lost her ball in this short looked an awful lot like the sitter in Die Sitter Die! I have to look into that.... Anyway, great job guys!
Thank you so much! You’re spot on! Same actress! Thank you for watching!
@@BoxBrosHorror DAMN! I KNEW IT! 😎Thanks!
god... u almost killed me... loved the movie sooooo much. plz keep it up.
Thank you so much!
perfect blend of comedy and suspense, great short film!!!
Thank you very much! check out our channel if you want to see some more horror shorts! Don't forget to share with your friends!
What a fun mix of horror and comedy! The guard was great, a real comic/horror performance. Plus, loved the artists - you love to hate 'em! Great fun!!
Pretty sure I've commented on this one before, but damn - the cinematography + the levels of irony are worth multiple comments and even more views.
Not to mention the acting.
Thank you so much!
6:08 that look you give your parents when they ask you if you've done your homework yet.
This was actually some very good work and mostly very original in nature. Well worth watching. Also, Sam Boxleitner who plays the leading role as the security guard does an excellent job...and he's also he extremely handsome and very easy to watch doing just about anything his character does...he projects a sense of presence beyond his film handsome good looks. Overall this short film is one of the best by this company.
" 'cause the earth is dying!" XDDDD I can't stop laughing xDDD
Love Flip and the art guy x)
Ok.. As a budding actor/writer myself I have to say this was just AWESOME! Scary as hell, acting was good, and the thrill scares.. WOW! Not to mention Flip has a kind of funny/realism to his character. Great work. Love to team up on a project!
Thank you!
Second film I have seen from the Boxleitner Brothers. I hope they are going to do full feature soon because they are absolutely professional and top quality. Starting with their scripts to their dialogue, directing, their actors, timing and even music. These guys are the real deal. They certainly can top a ton of movies that come out on the big screen.
Wow!!! Thank you so much!!!
Wow that was great some humor that fitted in perfectly! Also, thanks for not using jumpscares in order to make it scary, well done guys!!
But 13:54 was a jumpscare
Very well done...such talent out in the world. Keep working on them...love seeing it...
Thank you!
This would make an amazing horror/comedy series!
Every week Flip has another adventure in his demonic work place.
I personally love this idea! Thanks for watching!!!
@@BoxBrosHorror Can you arrange this lol??
Flip, the best security guard ever. R.I.P xD (loved the "thank you for watching" whispers)
ok somebody already mentioned it but 7:42 was the single most realistic reaction i've ever seen in any short horror film. he didn't freeze and slooooowwly turn around or something like any other actor would
good job :)
someone give this guy an Oscar HIS ACTING WAS GOLD!!!
Thank you so much! One of these days in my dreams maybe. Thank you for watching and if you’ve got the time, check out some of our other vids! Stay well! - Sam.
The Boxleitner Brothers absolutely my dude. And I’ll for sure check out more of your content.
Night guard was the most realistic character in all horror movie history!
Thank you for watching!
7:41 lol best reaction in a horror movie ever. totally believable.
Thank you!
That was one of the best Short Horror Film that I've see. I love the reaction of the guard 7:42 ! XD
Congratulations!
Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh that actor dad actor was flipping amazing oh my gosh great story great actors just perfect you guys hit are the park again thank you for your content I love it
Thank you Lisa! We’ve got a new short coming out on Valentine’s Day, so make sure to sub!
At the end of the video: No... Thank YOU!!! That was a REALLY good video!
Thank YOU
It's like I'm watching Shaun of the Dead all over again with that camera guy and it really seems like he wanted to copy its style a little
darkside13 I definitely felt a Edgar Wright thing going on here. Loved it
I see alot of people talking about the "Whaaaat the fuck was that ?" moment, and yeah, it was funny as hell !
But 7:03 was my favorite...
That guy does not act like a simple character in a horror movie, who makes ALL the wrong decisions, just to serve the plot...
Here, in that scene, I was totally seeing myself in that kind of situation... I wouldn't turn back to see what's happening in the shadow...
I would see the thing, walk back without turning back, and have the same "whaaaaaaaaat... ?" face as him.
Excellent !
Thank you!!!
Curiosity leads us up and curiosity takes us down.
Thank you for watching!
No, Thank you for creating.
Paul Blart: Evil Dead Mall Cop
Haha! Yes!
I tried imagining the guard without a mustache and I am unable to do so. Good for him.
Perfect mix of humor and horror great job!
the security guard's nametag said FLIP SHUBBERS hahahahahahahaha
Ahhh... okay guys, I've seen over 100 horror movies in my life (obsession I'd say) but not a single one of them had such a believable main character as this short film do... I've always complained about unrealistic reactions etc. but now, when I saw Flip my life is complete. Flip was the best character I've ever seen, the whole short film is well done and I wish I'd got a chance to see you guys do a full movie (hour and longer), that would be a real pleasure.
Wow! Thank you so much!
Abby Raven thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! This really made my day! God bless!
+Sam Boxleitner Haha, you're welcome! 😊 I am happy that I made you happy!
+The Boxleitner Brothers You're welcome! 😊
"what the f*ck is that?" Foolhardy Security Guy was fantastic!!!!
*Sees noose* *It's empty* *instinctively turns down volume*
He was Flip-in awesome! I loved this
The Security Guy was/is awesome!!
So funny!!
Keep up the good Work!!
Much Love and Greetings from Austria
Like everyone else, I LOVE THIS GUY! He already had me at his response to King Douchebag about plastic trash bag.
I can SO imagine Bruce Campbell in the role of the guard :-D
+Little Carnage always one of our biggest inspirations!
Lmao love the security guard 👌 he's hilarious
Thank you for watching!
@@BoxBrosHorror No problem, great short film. Will definitely be watching more 👍
That security guard has star written all over him. His comedic timing is impeccable. Great casting choice.. Where can I follow him at? Great film
Thank you for watching! His name is Sam Boxleitner. Follow him on all the fun apps!
@@BoxBrosHorror Thanks. I just subscribe to your channel as well. As a total novice filmmaker... this film has taught me A LOT. It's one of the best in the horror category that i've seen.
Thank you!
Your brother becomes a total dilf with the mustache XD, and the last scene startled me. 😫
I really wanna see Flip Sclubbers the Night Shifter. Youve got a goldmine here
That was fookin' scary. Great film..
Thank you so much!!!!
The magic words to catch someone ::"don't go there","dont look"... What kind company of security hired someone, and didn't give at least a gun?
Wer ist auch von Creepypastapunch hier? :-D
ich
Mee hahah
ich
Ich haha

Actor who played the guard was good: reminded me of Steve Zahn. Good balance of humour & scariness.
His reactions to things going on it the video is really good. He pulls people in to the video and kick up the scares.
Whaaat thee fuuck was thaat 😂😂😂😂
Omfg i am crying when the security dude freaked out hearing that voice! Aahh damn his face was priceless!!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 7:40 if your curious😁☺
Love that guy, he needs a series.
That acting was bloody good. I loved it.
Thank you so much for watching! Don’t forget to check out our channel! And subscribe for more horror!
Gotta say that was a hell of a flash light, 2 inch coverage 👍🔦
This was amazing! Kudos to the actor, I would watch him all day!
Moarr laughs rather than scares, EPIC!!
i got scared really
Officer Flip should have his own series or paranormal activity investigations
Cmon, Rhonda, be a buddy! Leave more than just a sticky note! 😝🤣
Seriously though, this was the best EVER. Bravo! Sam, your acting is so damn good. That first "whaaaat theeee fuuuuuu....?! When I say that I HOLLERED!😂😂😂😂
Wow! Thank you so much! I cannot tell you how much that means right now. Haven’t been able to act in a while and it’s been getting me down. So glad you liked our little film. It was a lot of fun to make. Be safe out there! - Sam
"...his mouth looks like a 1970's vagina." (4:46) Holy shit! That is funny. And the cat painting?! Cool story. Well, he was warned. Well performed. Thanks to everyone for making this.
Dude! Thank you!
What a fantastic actor!
This guy is fucking hilarious. Bravo!
one of the best ive seen in a long time!
So Rupert grew up to become a janitor??? 🤣
Awesome movie!!!! I felt like the security guard was channeling his inner Bruce Campbell at certain moments.
I loved what you did when flip was turning and he didn't see the person behind him in the dark when the flashlight caught him and flip was walking away, that was clever.
Thank you so much! It’s fun to play with cameras in the dark.
Lmao the way he steps into the camera at 7:50 😂💀
I watched this twice, not because it was scary, too much cliche for my taste, but because of Flip, that guy is genius.
+Christopher Omburah thanks, man! I appreciate it!
he reacted pretty much how i would lol.. "wahhhhh tha fuck was that???"
I think this needs a prequel where we get to watch Rhonda's story. What happened to her, how did the post-it note get there? Why just a little post-it note? Surely she should have left a more urgent message trying to warn Officer Flip.
And Officer Flip going into the basement, alone, at night, screw that. If I was him, I would have called in a SWAT Team and gone down in broad hecking daylight. No way am I going down by myself, ghosts or not! 😂 Anyway, love the film, it's still one of the best ones on this site!
This is amazing 😭😭💜💜✨✨ I absolutely loved it!! 😄😄☺️☺️💖 But- got me scared x( now tonight im sleeping with my mommy :3
the security gard actor is awesome..
That guy playing flip is awesome
Thanks for the laughs and the scares.
"Whaaaaat the f●ck was that?" The best reaction I've ever seen. Another great video.
Thank you!
+Miguel Soto thank you very much!
Get a camera, a group of good friends and make one. The more you make, the more you will start to see what works and what doesn't. Have fun. Don't take it too seriously. Thank you so much for watching! send me your short when it's done!
#OfficerFlip2016
fucking nerd
Great work! The perfect mix of humor and fear.
+CryptTV Thanks so much for watching!
This coming from the best channel for short horror stories
CryptTV you would know if short films are good, so this must be good
Super scawey!!!
Es gibt noch was im Keller.
I would seriously watch the series "The Adventures of Flip Schubbers". That guy is awesome
Imperator Augustus
Same x3
You and I both
!!! lol
Seriously The Boxleitner Brothers and everyone else who thought this short and his acting was masterful should consider it. I would devote all my free time to watching it haha
Ditto.
Me too
