Taking Care of Your School Building

Master of horror Stephen King is famous for taking ordinary things and making them scary. A car. A dog. A hotel. A floor lamp - wait, maybe that was Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes. But not even Mr. King dared to give sentience to a school building in need of maintenance: he left that terrifying task to our new short Taking Care of Your School Building!

Two kids have stayed late after school to decorate their classroom for an open house, clearly having been brainwashed by their absent teacher into doing her work for her. Spooky already! The impossibly folksy school janitor, straight out of Andy Griffith, swings by to check on them. Next thing you know, the actual school building begins to speak, and make insane demands of the children. “Wash my chalkboards,” it beckons. “Don’t touch the walls so much when you walk to class because it makes them kind of dirty,” it continues, unconvincingly.

Is the school building really alive, or is the janitor having fun inflicting deep supernatural guilt trauma on two kids who were already such goodie-goodies they were doing extra work to kiss up? Either way, you’ll think twice next time you kick a door open or slam a toilet seat down too hard!

Join Mike, Kevin and Bill for the supernatural scholastic shaming of Taking Care of Your School Building!
