PLSMAKE A PART 2 OF THE KID WITH A BEAR AND MRPINKYCLOWN I BEG U ITS SO GOOD
@@obi-wankenobi9890 We just might...
If only there was a helpful monster under the bed for every abused child on Earth!
Her Mother....
Som Thing I wish I have one tbh.
Correct
I work as a monster during Halloween season and I see parents bringing along their crying kids. I scare the parents instead and I high five the kid.
This was heartbreaking to watch... the most disturbing horrors are human ones.
That is true. Human horrors are the most horrific.
@@WatchALTER what happened so basicley the girl woke up then she saw her betened mum downstairs then the real mum grabes her then they hide under the bed but then when she gets dragged under the bed her mums nut there
@@neardeathexperience2095 The mom is dead and Mariann is the only one who always sees her ... then she comes out from under the bed Angry and fills the little girl with her spirit to kill the drug addict Auntie.
Then you see the moms ghost following her outside as she told her she would never leave her. You know Mariann is going to be ok because you see the photo in a frame at the end.
@Lee Courtney 'Human horrors' as in, what humans are capable of... which includes mistreatment to animals. Although if seeing an innocent child being violently abused doesn't even remotely disturb a person, that's rather scary in itself.
Pyra agreed.
Children have powerful imaginations, especially in times of trauma. And in this, she was able to conjure up an entity to help her do what she could not do alone. I like the ending, of her leaving and the entity slowly following after, almost as if signifying she will always have that strength with her, whether it be her mother, or something else. Very well done!
@tory porter I agree with BlueElement. Also who is to say darkness cannot harness strength?
the entity is her dead mother. still, not your typical child. she literally bludgeoned her aunt to death. not that she didn't deserve it.
@@osiris8519 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@Seamus Murphy... I couldn't have said it better myself, your comment is dead on, perfect, and straight to the point. Any type of abuse towards a child is unacceptable so thank you Alter for the warning.
I wouldn't call it strength. More like, she fantasied with a caring mother as a way of dealing with the absence of care and love in her life. However, all the abuse she was suffering created a darkness inside her, and the fantasy of a caring mother couldn't protect her from it, so the mom turned into something ugly and dark to match what was inside the girl, and so, the girl used this to protect herself by killing her aunt. This is not a strength, but rather a display of hurt and conturbed feelings, a darkness that will always follow the girl everywhere she goes.
The child did a remarkable job, making us believe. Only when the credits rolled did I suddenly snap back to my own reality. Mesmerising production. Loved every moment. 👍♥️
The special effects in this one were impeccable. The little girl carried the storyline so beautifully and conveyed a really hard message.
As someone who has grown up in an abusive household, thank you Marian. She deserved it.
🌹🌹🌹
Are you guys better now?
@@aldrichsmith Idk about that family, but I know for a fact that one of my lil brothers died by suicide and I have a lot of trauma from all that happened. I've been working on it though
@@paulah2os My goodness. Are those parents still raising a family? Sorry for your brother, may he have found peace.
I used to have an imaginary friend when I was really small I was 4 years old. He was a dancing skeleton but he was nice. Some kids were savage to me back then and I told my friend. soon after they fell ill and got problems. My friend said he did it to protect me. The last time I saw him he said he had to go back with the others and that I must not fear anything and he would keep an eye out for me. I gave him a seashell as a present and then he left.
Is it real
Kooio
Yo, are you for real?
Dude... That's crazy 😳
Wow you must be so lucky my imaginary friend in that age was a just little girl :D
As a Filipino
... this is really heartbreaking to watch and awe inspiring in terms of storytelling. This is truly refreshing and brings a very brilliant commentary on abuse-that there is just no excuse for it. Thank you Alter.
I'm american and mom mother has never physically abused me but she always mentally abused me, always put me down and always belittled me. Even to this day, my own mother has never changed. I harbor such a deep hatred for her but at the same time, I love her as a mother. What she put me through, I will never fully forgive her. It's hard, dealing with someone that you love and hate, it causes me so much internal conflict and that anger has always destroyed me internally. It is because of her and the other i trusted and loved that I'm phobic and distrustful of other American women.
@@bluemenace04 Almost exactly the same but not in the USA.
@@bluemenace04 I really just hope that u get strength to go through this . God bless u and may u become a good person not like your mother . No disrespect
@@yuanfernandes7071 no offense taken. I've got a lot of malice and anger in my head because of her. It's hard not to snap when I'm forced to take care of her and deal with her. This pandemic has forced me to stay in this same house with her since it started and it's a miracle I haven't ripped her head off yet.
@@bluemenace04 Don't do something bad . If you r in sadness where u have nobody to talk to including your mother , plz talk to someone elder other than her . I really would lose my shot if this happened to me . Btw what's your age
*Alter is better than most horror stories and that's a FACT*
🖤 it helps to work with incredible filmmakers and have such awesome, ALTERed fans!
I agree
agreed alter may even rival crypt tv
Noobmaster 626 man this is a inspiration from a frase/animated short
That's not how facts work.
So heartbreaking just to hear her cry and there are so many children with that same cry.
We see it in the news everyday we have to do better with these children.
This is what will become our monsters of the future so many already have.
Thanks Alter for really disturbing me today.
😢😢😢😢😢
And I am one of those children ☹️
@@amyfonex52 elaborate
Aditya Pandey what is that
Amy Fonex it means to go into greater detail 😉❤️
Be sad for Africans
I'm an Alter short horror movie collection fan and a Filipino. It's a great feeling to see an awesome short horror movie here made by a Filipino. Great job guys!
I don't know why southeast asian horror movies seems so real ..
Agreed, imo the most horrifying and disturbing
Sorry don't mean no disrespect 🥺. Because I'm half hispanic. Buuuut u guys make the BEST horror or thrillers! . My daughter is obsessed with manga and japanese life n style. We always eat asian food. Grew up like tht. My parents made us tht food lmao. But u guys have a magical touch for this! Or a great imagination 😉!! God bless
what kind of asian do u mean ..east? cuz yes east asians have the best foods
I love when her real mama comes to help her,she isnt afraid of her ghoulish look.the real horror is the sister. Wolf in sheep skin.
Moral of the story:ALTER NEVER FAILS. This little girl is a great lil actress and she is so believable in this as well... She is so adorable to... But I would love a full movie of this bc I love the story but want more explained and I feel like there is more to show... Either way we got ALTerED as usual love u guys stat safe everyone!!
Alter didnt have a hand in this short this video was uploaded on crypt tv about 2 years ago im.not sure who made it but alter doesnt make shorts at all i believe i think they only showcase the videos crypt tv does that to apparently but some videos on crypt are made by them i believe
@@ulysses3849 I watch crypt tv to... A lot of them look familiar on here and crypt tv as well... Guess they both do it to support the ppl who really did the short!!
@@armcollector6660 ya but it confuses people for crpyt tv i cant tell which ones are theres and not theres
at first i thought alter and crypt tv were stealing peoples shorts so i got the wrong impression at first
@@ulysses3849 usually alter and crypt will tell u in the description who did it and Pretty much who wrote it and all bout it... I was confused at first to But now I just enjoy them all lol... Anyways hope u have an amazing day!!
No matter what in the end you only have your mother. The only person on Earth who ll never leave you behind. ♥️ #maa... #mother ♥️ Alteredforever😍
Hearing that little girl cry broke my heart.
This is what happens to the human mind when it's under extreme mental, physical, and emotional torture. It's opens wide to let darker forces in. The child wanted out of this situation so badly, her subconscious conjured up a demonic energy to allow her to do the dirty work needed to get rid of the abusive aunt. The girl is not evil, but a tortured soul wanting out of a horrible situation. I truly believe evil exists for this reason in the world. To do what purer, more sensitive souls are not capable of....to pull the trigger or swing the axe, when no other way out is possible.
What a result. Marian had more balls than me growing up
Why? Were you abused
If so I'm sorry to hear that.
Yeah my brothers dad was a right monster....... I could still kill him to this day if it wasn't for my brother.
No one:
Mom: I need you to be quiet, okay?
Also Mom: *Loudly shuts and opens drawers*
mom can't be heard in the real world
QuantumSludge Oh yeah, that’s true tho!
The aunt simply terrified me, she could successfully scare away Dracula and the Wolf into hiding.
A part of me feels sorry for the Aunt. She'd become a monster but her sister had died and she had suddenly become responsible for a child. Was also an addict and broken, and she expressed remorse which showed she had a heart. Very interesting - great film. Thank you
Who thinks alter makes the best short movies = 👍
meeeeeee
@@dananada9163 Me too!!!
Definitely not me😂
@@ghggfv5103 XDD
And crypt tv too
Alter, you know how to mix horror while pulling on one’s heartstrings.
When her aunt beat her with the stick and then stabbed her arm with the broken piece of vase, I felt it and wanted Marian to be rescued and free from that abuse.
Ending was nothing short of wow.
Definitely Altered.
ANYONE who would harm a child... deserves an even worse fate. Monsters who hurt children are more grotesque than any fictional villain. Never, ever harm children. Ever.
Jhi365,As a child I was an abuse victim at the hands of my brutal narcissistic ex mother.Sometimes I used to imagine a ghost coming to rescue me from my monster mother & take me far far away.This film reminded me of my miserable childhood.There are normal looking people around us who are ugly monsters inside.
@@goddess4290 I am so sorry to read this. There is no excuse for any parent to abuse their children. I hope that you were able to heal from those experiences and learn from it so that you will not or have not continued the cycle of abuse with your own if or when you choose to have children.
@@detrajackson5992 I always used to dream of a happy home when she used to abuse me physically & verbally.When I was able to earn money,I escaped from her & cut all ties with her for good.Now I'm married & blessed with a beautiful son.I love my son with all my heart.And as about my inner wound,I turned it into my inner strength & choose to help others who are abused.
now that was a true horror film, awesome, loved every second. beautifully acted by one so young.
Really
this girl has talent
Fantastic! I love everything about this. The lighting is great so you can see everything. Some serious mental health issues being portrayed.
@@pakde8002 Thanx for the insight into different cultural beliefs about the spirit world.
Mom:Marian,whats the problem of every human?
Marian:It was hard to get out of bed
Bravo to all involved in this project. A very emotionally impactful tale. A friend and I were recently discussing the dearth of horror movies like the ones we grew up with. Supernatural threats were always terrifying when we were younger, but as we grew up, we realized the worst monsters were the ones we, as human beings, were capable of becoming. Or creating.
What is truly heart-breaking in regards to this story is the thought that out there, at this moment, there are a lot of "Marian's," and some of them act or react in the same way. Others never make it out of their circumstances. We see that and say it should not be, that we are better. True, but only if we choose to be better, and hold ourselves and others accountable to that better nature. The bright spot is, we can.
Is what she conjured up perhaps anger from all the abuse? Along with her Mothers spirit there to protect her?
Also love the diversity of actors in the shorts played on this channel. That's what makes it so good!!!!!
This was great. The little girl is a great actress and made me want to comfort her.
Wow! Proud Pinoy here, Salamat ALTER! 🇵🇭❤
Moral: Humans are the real monsters 🥴
She might be step mother i guess so she treating that child so badly.
Good films touch you in a wonderful way, even when they ... SADDEN YOUR HEART.
But someone is still alive
THE CAMERA MAN
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How to survive in a movie like this
*Be the camera man*
Pain triggered her inner demon... 💔
the inner demon is her mom
I could relate.. this was hard to watch.
GOIN IN FULL SCREEN LOVE YOU ALTEEEERRRR❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥳🥳
Full screen is the best way to get ALTERed.
I only go full screen after I've read some comments hehe
My heart hurts. I cannot cry. I am broken and liberated at the same time!! Wow.. just.. 😳. WELL DONE🤩
Phenomenal , Alter! Just phenomenal!
Would love to see more horror shorts like this in the future.
Ahhhh ahhhh when she cries
Im so glad Alter now has subtitles for each movies .. ❤
Damn! Poor kid. That was a sad story...
I wish I had a monster to help me when I was a younger.
eto ung matagal kona inaantay eh' ALTER dto sa Pinas! galing talaga ng Alter.
Göod job

While watching suddenly I switched off lights my sweetheart shouted-" darling where are you 😭😭😭"😈😈😈😍😍
From philippines....
Love the story yet scary😅
On of the best I've seen on Alter, with a striking (and heart-rending) twist and a pleasingly ambiguous ending that leaves it up to the viewer what is psychological and / or supernatural. Beautifully acted, and effects reminiscent of "Crimson Peak", only perhaps even better for their shadowy vagueness - we can see just enough of the spectre to deduce it is horrible, but never get such a good look that we can't imagine even worse...
BRUTALITY!
Marian WINS!
Alter❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
All love here. 🖤
This was so good, I clicked 👍 in the first 5 min. The acting was well done and sadly believable.
The death mother protected her child.... that is so heartbreaking! Great actors!
Love your comments ❤️ form 🇵🇭
I couldn't sleep because there was something flying around my room now this
🤔
Mosquitoes
Kinda looked like a beetle
This one actually made me cry...wow.
Well, that was chilling, and sad. Very well done though!! Alter has yet to disappoint me! Alter makes a pandemic a little easier to deal with!!
That was pretty sad and even sadder still is the face there are millions of kids that are abused and live in homes without love just like in this story.
Next chapter: Life in prison.
I think I already understand the story. The girl suffered abuse from her aunt because she became alcoholic and drug addicted due to the mother's death, and of course the monster that was there friendly was like the evil that she now imagined and the girl decided to end all this. In addition, when she takes and breaks the photo in the end, it is because the only good person she had was her mother.
What a heartbreaking piece of art is this short! Love it, although it's very sad. The little actress did an amazong job!
Damn!! ALTER does know how to keep me at the edge of my seats! Again well done👏👏👏👏👏
Sometimes the situation is so hard that it takes away a child's innocence and makes him stronger,cruel and self dependent
This was heart wrenching and that is the horror...Marian reflects those children who lost a Mom/parent
This is so underrated! 💖
Shout out to all Filipinos out there watching this during quarantine 💞💓
This short film is from🇵🇭
🖤🇵🇭
❤️❤️❤️
Abuse is uncalled for. I grew up with a Father who was physically, mentally and emotionally abusive when I was young. Keep abusing your kids or young kids in your family. There will be that situation where the child will have built up so much vent and hatred, they will let it out and with a vengeance. That ugly evil spirit that came out from under the bed and then continued to follow her. That was her RAGE. When it came out from under the bed and came up to her, she was not afraid. She was ready to shake it's hand and not be afraid anymore. She was going to let the RAGE inside of her come to a boiling point. and take revenge.
A child who has been abused, can one day retaliate against you, if it comes to their boiling point and therefore work against you. Not every abused child mind you, leads to this. The sad part is, sometimes when retaliation happens, the law may not always protect you sadly. The Aunt was a druggie and had mental health issues, so would she have abused if she was not a druggie with mental health issues? Not saying that she is still not responsible for abusing her niece.
Now that the little girl's rage was released and it followed her out the door. Will it continue to follow her and make her act out when things works against her? Abuse can do so much harm mentally and emotionally, those scars are harder to see then the physically ones.
The fact that the rage monster followed her out the door tells me ... life does not look bright for Marian. Sadly she is SEVERELY DAMAGED GOODS.
@@RPRosen-ki2fk I agree the rage followed after her and will be by her side. I don't know if I want to call her severely damaged goods bc I always like to believe therapy can help. Maybe she is still traumatized from her abuse and will not be able to function in society without help. Sadly I knew these 2 kids growing up. The mother abused them physically. mentally and emotionally. Even CAS admitted they should have been more proactive. The mother abused the 2 older kids and adored the 2 younger kids. Later in their adult life the 2 older kids sued the mother and they won the highest ever in damages in Canada. They cannot function in society bc of her. For example, he was may 12, he got lice in his hair. She pour boiling water on his head and had to be taken to ER, and once she pushed him from the basement top of the stairs and broke his legs with a rolling pin. The girl, when she was going through puberty, she used to punch her in her chest and once kept dunking her head upside down while holding her legs and dunking her head in a bucket of water till she kept passing out. That woman was sick. When I saw her and I was with my mom, I pretended not to remember her and told my mom I hope she goes to hell.
Sad, frightening and extremely well done!
Oh wow! There should be a trigger warning on this for child abuse. Good story though.
There is a warning in the description and a pinned comment

I feel Marian pains, it's hurt me too.
a fan from philippines here. always been watching some of your films, im so glad they made this kind of film. mas demonyo pa sa demonyo ang ibang tao.
Proud Filipino here ❣️
Excellent!!
So sad and heartbreaking. Love you alter ♥️
As a filipino, Im so proud of this vodcast. Im an avid fan of Alter ever since and this melted my heart so well. I can feel the pain of this video. Such a wonderful creation. 💓
Excellent short. Moving and relatable in any language.
This short made me cry. A mother's love and girlhood.
I was really hoping this would be about vengeance right after Aunty opened the door. Yay!
She greeted the darkness as an old friend
Been a recent fan of Alter and I'm happy to find a Filipino film in their list. The old Filipino home added to the creepy factor, too. Houses like these are so old that you will certainly hear about ghost sightings and scary stories about them from the people living in or near it. Growing up with those stories definitely makes seeing this setting feel very unsettling. Hoping for more shorts like this in the future!
Is that a traditional house? It looks like a funeral parlor or a sanitarium. Definitely creepy!
@@alexxs7evin Yes, this is the traditional houses of Filipinos. especially there's many of this in pre-WW2 Manila if only they didn't get bombed and ruined. many Filipinos associated houses like this of being haunted because of the victorian vibes it shows. but I personally don't see it.
Amazing!!!😌
So exciting 😍💜💜
Best watch..thanks Alter
Sa wakas may tagalog na
So many iterations of that Creepypasta. It was so awesome being there for the height of all the greatest Internet stories from the beginning. People need to start writing more original stories!
I was surprised when the dialogue started in my native tongue.
I hope you guys make more of these.
It's my first time to watch alter with it's Tagalog version! Wowww❤️
When you watch a foreign movie and u understand it a little, the feels. Hahaha
Już ten filmik wcześniej widziałem ale i tak fajny ;)))
Love your work . This is the quality I needed in horror cinema
to the ALTER guys! you guys are amazing! you make awesome shorts!
That pic at 1:55 gave me the chills 😶
Such a lovely family 😊😊😊😊🥰
Nicely done!
Thanks for featuring this Horror Short from the "Pearl of the Orient Seas" :-) ♥ I believe this happens not only in the Philippines but also in other countries
Proud Filipino here 😍 I always watched your video and I'm so happy right now because this video is different from others which is, it shows Filipino theme and scenario. Good job alter! 👏
I just realize in this film the child has Dissociative identity disorder, it is when people who has traumatic childhood , their mind will protect themselves by creating different alters(it is the demon )
Childhood trauma is the worst thing one have to face in his life....well portrayed 👍👍
ALTER u make best short horror movies ❤❤❤❤
