Fun Size Horror is a collective of filmmakers, led by Zeke Pinheiro, Mali Elfman, and Michael May.{{Cite web|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-10-07/karen-gillans-freaking-out-in-a-new-fun-size-horror-film|title=Karen Gillan's freaking out in a new Fun Size horror film|website=RadioTimes|access-date=2016-03-23}} The collective's purpose is to create short films that will "explore horror from every angle."{{Cite web|url=http://www.funsizehorror.com/page/about|title=Fun Size Horror: About page|last=|first=|date=|website=Fun Size Horror|publisher=|access-date=March 23, 2016}}{{Cite web|url=http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3319875/final-fun-size-horror-treats-quad-collection/|title=Final 'Fun Size Horror' Treats: "Quad" and "The Collection" - Bloody Disgusting!|website=Bloody Disgusting!|date=31 October 2014|language=en-US|access-date=2016-03-23}}

Pinheiro first came up with the idea after realizing that he knew several filmmakers that wanted to "create their own thing and all love horror, but were never given a platform".{{Cite web|url=http://collider.com/fun-size-horror-trailer/|title=Fun Size Horror Trailer: 31 Inventive Shorts|website=Collider|date=October 2014|language=en-US|access-date=2016-03-23}} The collective's initial goal was to create thirty-one horror films by Halloween 2015, but has since expanded to include the creation of additional short horror films.{{Cite web|url=http://www.themarysue.com/mali-elfman-fun-size-horror/|title=Interview: Mali Elfman Talks Clive Barker, Indie Filmmaking, and Why Horror Films Matter|website=TheMarySue|date=22 March 2016|access-date=2016-03-23}} In March 2016 the collective launched an Indiegogo crowdsourcing campaign, with the goal to use the funding to change the collective and website's infrastructure and produce more content.{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/join-fun-size-horror-s-community-building-campaign#/|title=CLICK HERE to support Join Fun Size Horror's Community Building Campaign|website=Indiegogo|access-date=2016-03-23}}{{Cite web|url=http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3384525/fun-sized-crowd-sourcing/|title=A 'Fun Size'd Crowd-sourcing Campaign - Bloody Disgusting!|website=Bloody Disgusting!|date=24 March 2016|language=en-US|access-date=2016-03-25}} To date two volumes of the shorts have been released for live-streaming through online outlets such as Amazon and Hulu.{{Cite web|url=http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/154838/154838/|title=Fun Size Horror: Volume Two Now Streaming on Hulu - Dread Central|website=Dread Central|date=7 March 2016|language=en-US|access-date=2016-03-23}} Shorts have been directed by a wide range of directors and have starred actors such as Keir Gilchrist.{{Cite web|url=http://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3374387/fun-size-horror-blasts-some-holiday-cheer-into-your-home-with-shotgun-santa/|title="Shotgun Santa: Holiday Justice" Short Film|website=Bloody Disgusting!|date=24 December 2015|language=en-US|access-date=2016-03-23}}

Dread Central rated the first thirty-one shorts favorably, as they felt that the amount of offerings would help ensure that viewers would have a short that they enjoyed.{{Cite web|url=http://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/98189/fun-size-horror-2015/|title=Fun Size Horror (2015) (review)|website=Dread Central|date=24 April 2015|language=en-US|access-date=2016-03-23}}
