Weβre proud to showcase The Googly-Eyed Killer, a short comedy-horror film created entirely by students in the Fortuna High Photo & Design program!
Set inside a spooky museum, the story follows a group of friends β Caine, Kira, Lindsy, and their teacher Mr. Fred β as they stumble upon a creepy clown mask with a strange curse. Once the mask is worn, Mr. Fred transforms into the menacing Gennywise, a googly-eyed, giggling menace who hunts them down in both the museum and an eerie abandoned theater.
With classic horror vibes, creative costumes, and a good dose of humor, this project was a fun exploration of filmmaking, storytelling, and teamwork. Students handled everything: writing, directing, acting, filming, editing, and even effects.
