The Pet Sitter (6:34)

ArieScope's 26th Halloween short film, from 2024. It's set on Halloween, but that's barely important to the plot, so I'm just filing it under "weird".
A man asks his friend Jeff (Jeff Lewis) to pet-sit for him for one night, but doesn't say what the pets actually are. Turns out they're life-size sea monkeys who like to misbehave, and definitely don't like being called "pets". And that's all I want to say about the plot. I thought it was kind of amusing, and it reminded me of the TV series The Amazing Live Sea Monkeys, but more twisted and horror-ish.
