12sSecurity Guard Horror: Blinking Mannequin Approaches
A horror short in which a security guard watching monitors notices a mannequin in a hallway move closer every time he blinks. The tension escalates through rewound footage, forced-open eyes, camera glitches, and a final jump-scare touch on the shoulder.

Scene: Security room, multiple monitors A guard watches a still mannequin in a hallway. He blinks. It’s closer. He rewinds footage. Every time he blinks… it moves. He forces his eyes open. Tears stream. The camera glitches. The mannequin is gone. A hand touches his shoulder.
