Director Max Kaplan steps inside the Haunted House to talk about his horror short film LOOKER, winner of Best Editing at the 2025 Haunted House FearFest Festival.

LOOKER follows Anna — a young woman cursed to melt away whenever no one is looking at her. As she fights to stay seen, the film blends body horror, psychological terror, and emotional vulnerability into one unforgettable short.

Max shares the inspiration behind LOOKER, the editing choices that became the film’s secret weapon, and his journey as a rising filmmaker.
