I saw a clip of this horror comedy short online and decided to check out the full film. I thought it was really funny and a nice addition to the cursed doll/puppet subgenre. After watching the trailer to see if this looks like something you'd enjoy you can go here to watch the full short film.
I thought it would be fun to stat Finley for Dark Places & Demogorgons and other SURVIVE THIS!! games. I've put my own spin on him, based on the supernaturally bad luck he has in the short. Finley could become a regular npc for your games. I also don't think he knows that he's cursed meaning he will continue to try elaborate death traps to kill the residents. If they start to trust him, his murderous tendencies might lessen, but they will always be there.

That trailer looks great. Really must make time to watch the full movie. Thanks for drawing this to our attention, Pun, and another wonderful stats write-up as always.
