The Thing in the Apartment (9:55)
Crypt TV Wiki; Dread Central; IMDb; John William Ross; Short of the Week; YouTube

A woman named Lindsay, who has recently started taking sleeping pills, calls her friend Sam one night, after having run out of her apartment in terror. She tells Sam that she saw something in her apartment, and in a flashback, we'll see what she saw. And I'd say she had more than ample reason to be terrified. Sam comes to pick Lindsay up, then drives her back to the apartment. Lindsay doesn't want to go back in, but Sam decides to check things out, herself. And things do not go so well. That'll all I'll say for now, but the story will be continued....

The Thing in the Apartment: Chapter II (3:55)

Well, this is about two different characters than the ones in the first short film, though it's set on the same night. A woman named Leah is scared; she has the feeling that something's been watching her through the wall. Sean (who I assume is her husband) wakes up when there are strange noises coming from another apartment in their building (Lindsay's apartment). He tries to reassure Leah, then goes to check out what's going on. I don't want to say more than that, but it definitely seems there's more to the story than I would have guessed based on chapter I, though so far I have no idea what it all means. So I do hope there'll be a chapter III to continue the story. If there was, I could definitely see giving the series a higher rating.
