This was some TALES FROM THE CRYPT type of episode. Good work.
💯
I've since heard he's doing really well - he's opening new branches all over the territory.
😂😂😂
I'll go out on a limb here and say........OH! So Funny...... :)
Albert Chehade - very good, lets leaf it there! I've tried to come up with more comments but I'm stumped.
@@keithnaylor1981
Wow, a double whammy in one paragraph!
Very Good!
LOL
His wife is keen to set down roots though.
So, my parents lied to me and money *does* grow on trees!
💵😜😂😂😂
"I can sell more windchimes" !!! Windchimes. She makes and then sells windchimes. That would never occur to me as home money maker. Wind. Chimes. She might do better if she diversified her craft and started producing kaleidoscopes and thumb pianos as well
Other people: "Money doesn't grow on trees."
Rancher guy: "Hold my mom."
great story line and concept. Loved it. I'm getting addicted to all these high quality horror/sci-fi shorts. Beats wasting 2 precious hours watching crap big budget formulaic horror movies. Excellent!
Blair MacEwan Crosbie agreed I can watch like 5 different horror movie shorts that are actually good instead of waste 2 hours on one movie that probably sucks
same here, i am addicted too
Quality stuff 👌👌

You are so rite about that!!
Been on these short horror films for about 3mos now and I’m loving it
I have an apartment in Los Angeles and can testify that you would need a money tree factory to afford to live here. I can only do it because it's a studio and I eat beans and rice and a 15 year old car.
Endymion766 YOU'VE EATEN A CAR? Honestly, that is the most shocking lockdown/pandemic story I've come across so far. You poor thing 😉
@@neighbourhoodwitch18 i needed the iron and nickel
I've never tried eating a 15 year old car with rice and beans.
It's kinda scary how money can change people from a nice person to a cold blooded serial killer.
No it was only some special tree story ;)
Not actually the money but the way our society is strongly based on it. A man who was about to lose his land and witnessed his mother killing herself because of that could tell how much money means. Regardless of all the moralistic speeches, without money people are nothing. The homeless people are the living proof of that.
Something has to be on the money that does that.
Bruno Santos You are tragically morally vacant if you honestly believe that homeless people are “nothing” since they don’t have money. You sound like a Trump voter.
The couple of former serial killers I know don't put people away for money. They just enjoy their hobby and absorb out-of-pocket costs themselves.
That was so great! It's a cautionary tale for sure, especially in these uncertain times! The final scene and the special effects were so well done! Bravo!!
Wow; what a story! The real horror of this tale when you let it sink in is that this guy will have to kill any and everybody who finds out about this tree. What a burden to carry for the rest of his life!! Great post guys!
Love it! I wish I had a tree like that, got a few people I'd love to plant under it!
same ;)
Elfprincess Plume lol
The Feds should look at your comment lol
Few DC politicians and lawyers but it would sour the ground.
How creepy
After he killed the chicken , I just wondered if he made a curry with it .
I don't want a money tree , that's just greed , Now a health tree , I'll kill for a health tree . Lol
Well done. Superb production. Even the end title sequence was impressively done.
Man, this is great! You guys & gals did a fantastic job! I agree with others, why doesn’t this have more views! It’s certainly deserving of it. A few years ago, I found a plethora of foreign horror and action movies superior to a lot of Hollywood’s crap. I feel the majority of the horror shorts I watch are in the same boat as the foreign stuff. Just as good as Hollywood, stuff, or better. Keep it up, everyone!
Good, quick old fashioned type of horror flick! A+!
Also: thanks for the CC!... I'm a bit deaf!
i guess that tree is not a tree its a money printing machine,and blood is just ink needed for printing
Literal blood money.
Are you saying we can cheat on that tree by pouring red ink? You are a genious
No wonder the inflation😆
Sounds like the foundation of America
The horror of this story is what we didn’t see. I can’t imagine how many other ppl did what he did, including his parents?! Wicked story 👏🏽👏🏽
I believe his father killed his mother, coz of the same reason, some over-rich oil businessman wanna buy their property and home;.. yet this is another story, that needs a whole chapter for its own.
Love your short movies! I just don't understand why you don't have more views, I'll let my friends check out your awesome channel 😊
Best short I've seen in months - I needed to be home 30 minutes ago and can't stop watching.
Loved it - bitter and grimy til the end. Fantastic work, all.
Wow, that was scary and horrific ... just goes to show that money is not the root of all evil, but what we are willing to do to have it that is the root of all evil, great acting, good story, terrific short, thanks for the upload Screamfest
Why did he shoot the dog! He could have just opened up a free cemetery under the tree and used all the fresh blood to make more money!
I was thinking in the same vein! But if the vet puts a pet down it's usually cremated. Most official pet cemeteries have ashes buried.
Possibly because he needs the money NOW ... and even a newly opened free cemetery might take time to even the first 'customer' in ...
They're usually drained of blood and replaced with embalming fluid, so it wouldn't work. It needs blood. I just really wish he hadn't killed that poor dog, though. 😔
Nah, he'd have to go to college and get a mortician's license and Mr. Capstone didn't strike me as the scholarly type...
Plus, he was in a HURRY!
Did you watch thed flick? He needed the money now!!
Not the pupper! You crossed the line!
7:28 Dog is thinking, "Oh no...not me next! I'm worth only $200"
A Definite High Quality Horror Film. Not Your Typical Haunted House Ghost Story Nonsense.
This is a phenomenal story! People would go insane with a tree like that. Great job as always Screamfest!👏👏👏❤️
that dude is crazy as hell
...and probably well on his way to becoming a serial killer!
Desperation makes monsters out of us all.
Screamfest has the BEST short horror stories EVER!!!💯💯
loved it ----keep 'em coming, Screamfest!
Well, it is the root of all evil literally. Great job guys!
Greed is the root of all evil. Not money.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
These shorts trying a new twist on some old myths & legends are great, good work.
This is so good. I love the guy's descent into madness.
That tree is about to be in full blossom!
And a million dollars bloomed for those last two...lmao!
This is one of the GREATEST HORROR FILMS EVER!!! This should've exceeded 5-6M views
Nothing to do on the day after Thanksgiving but go down a Screamfest rabbit hole 😮😮😮
❤️❤️❤️❤️
By this movies standards there are trillions just laying around on skid row 😂
😮 how did I miss this one!! Creepyliscious 😱🙌🏽😱 Thx 2 all involved. Luv ya #Screamfest 😈
Excellent short! Really enjoyed it 👍👍 Ms. Wyland is remarkably beautiful 😁
Was I the only one who got irritated with Sarah? And the dude could have just got to the local abbatoir to get a bucket of blood, and he could have made up a lie.
She kinda got what she deserved … So did the banker.
But then what would we watch .for gore and horror?
She got on my nerves so bad I was glad when she died
Really??? I can’t blame her. Although personally I’d have left in a car the previous night.
She did annoy the piss out of me.
Rewatching this again and having a hard time believing this came out four years ago. I can't believe is been that many years. I love this film.
Thanks for watching!! ❤️🖤
@@screamfestla You're welcome. You guys have the best short horror films.
This movie has a similatiry of Alfred Hitchochok,good and thank
when things came to a head, no pun intended, the reaction of him after he’d shot the gun was very interesting. Great job!

I loved it and I can't wait to see more

That movie was a trip!!! Thank you
I would love to see a backstory to how that tree 'came to be'! :) I bet it was planted on cursed land, or demonic rituals were performed there?
🤔🤔
I want to see more, too.
Awesome, thanks for this!

This was soooooo flipping good! For the love of money 💵
When I was a kid, there was this tree in the backyard that bleed real blood when I broke it's branches. I'm going to research that paranormal experience now.
Those fatalities at the end though damn
This a good one
Most creative! Wow,love it!
This is too much tragic n disturbing how a human turns into a monster for greed. Blood, gore, horror, brutality...... Wht a horrible real picture of world it is! I couldn't hold my tears seeing he even din't spare innocent animals too😭

10 /10 best one i've seen till now!
Great story!!
Lesson learnt..superb!!
This. This was fabulous. EXCELLENT retelling of those hair raising folk tales about magic trees, fish, etc. Or even "The Monkey's Paw". Sad. Tragic. And very very human. Those actors were superb. The direction was EXCELLENT! HE KILLED HIS OWN DOG!!! VERY well done. Loved it. And also loved the moral of the story as well.
Wowsa!!!! Great film
I want to see more like it
Feed the Tree and you will see the rewards of your deeds ! Thanks Good Film.
It was a good story. The actors needed to project much more in the beginning though. Good film.
When the Giving Tree plays dirty.
well done!!!!loved it.
OMG, very good 👍🏻
Superb !!! I like it!!
I want to see more. Bravo! 👏👏👏
