Possibly in Michigan is an experimental horror-musical that runs about 12 minutes.
Written and directed by artist Cecelia Condit, it follows two women being pursued by a creepy man at a suburban shopping mall. The man is a cannibal who plans to prey on them, but the feminist twist is that the women get him first in a gruesome reversal.
Creepy songs, deadpan exchanges and absurd violence turn familiar places into a world governed by nightmare logic.
The film uses fairy-tale conventions and dark humor to explore female agency and male predation. Cannibalism makes the struggle literal: the friends take control of the violence aimed at their bodies and turn it against their pursuer.
Decades after its release, the short found a younger audience on social media. Its “Animal Cannibal” song and dialogue clips circulated among horror and dreamcore communities.
