The Boy Who Loved Dark Shadows

The Creepy Bopper is a USC student film "about a boy who runs home every day from school to watch the original Dark Shadows." It was first uploaded in 2010, but I stumbled over it this morning while avoiding reality on Reddit. The filmmaker doesn't say when he completed the film, but it was part of a larger student project that included other movies. "We weren't allowed to use dialogue or sync sound, and I always struggled with that, even adding a voice-over intro to this film," he says in the Youtube comments section. (Also, I don't know of the filmmaker is a man or a woman, but figured I had a 50/50 chance of getting the gender right in that previous sentence.)
