The Closet Door Is Open… Again

Slow dolly push-in from a kid’s bedroom doorway, handheld feel, low-angle. A closet door is slightly ajar, darkness inside. The room is dim, lit only by a nightlight casting long shadows. A child’s toy on the floor starts to slide toward the closet on its own, dragging with a soft scrape. The camera tilts up to reveal a tall, gaunt figure with too-long arms standing just inside the closet, head tilted unnaturally. It takes one step forward, and the door slams shut. Cut to black. Style: found-footage, grainy, high ISO, subtle flicker.
