The Gourd, the Brad, and the Ghostly (8:34)
Film Freeway; IMDb; YouTube

On Halloween night, a man named Brad is about to light his jack-o-lantern, when it falls out his 20th floor apartment window, and appears to have hit a man on the head. The man is now lying on the ground, and Brad takes the elevator down to find out if he's alright or not. As people in costumes come and go, one person in the elevator appears to be the ghost of the man who had been it by the pumpkin. Brad becomes increasingly agitated, until he finally reaches the ground floor and goes outside. I won't spoil what he discovers, or what happens after that, but... the short is a comedy. Despite that, I really felt for Brad, and his quickly deteriorating mental state. It's definitely a serious, and spooky premise.
