The video that will scare you into never taking another selfie again

It's not even two minutes in length, but this new YouTube video is enough to make you want to sleep with the light on for weeks.

Shot by an author and a film student and titled Selfie From Hell, the tense footage focuses on a selfie-snapping woman who notices a looming figure appear behind her in the photos, and is subsequently attacked by what turns out to be a horrifying zombie.

The video, viewed more than 2,800,000 times since its release last month, was made by German production student Meelah Adams — who also stars in it — and author-director Erdal Ceylan.
