Night Shift Rules: There Is No Customer in Aisle Nine
On his first overnight shift, a supermarket clerk is handed a list of rules. Most of them are ordinary. One of them is about aisle nine, and the list is very clear that there is no customer there. Night Shift Rules is an animated horror short with a punchline hiding in the dark.
What Happens in Night Shift Rules
The store is empty, the lights are half on, and the clerk has time to think about every rule he was given. Then something moves in aisle nine. The creature he finds there is not the scariest thing in the building, which is the joke the short has been saving: the monster is terrified of the manager.
It is a clean little horror-comedy, built on the universal dread of a night shift and the specific dread of a supervisor who has seen too much.
