The Gaunt Man is a minor antagonist in the V/H/S: Video Horror Shorts mini-series, serving as the main antagonist of the episode "Rearview Window".
He is portrayed by Braydon Szafranski.
Appearance[]
The Gaunt Man lives up to his credited name very well, as he appears tall and very thin with blonde hair and tan skin. He wears a flannel jacket over a grey t-shirt and black pants.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Teleportation: Despite appearing as a normal Human being at first glance, the Gaunt Man appears to teleport on more than one occasion despite Jasmine clearly seeing him. Because of this, it's possible that the Gaunt Man is another one of the V/H/S Entity's disguises in Human form.
Victim[]
After a girl named Jasmine breaks her leg in a skateboarding accident and gets a cast, her mother drives her to a shopping center where Jasmine is forced to stay in the parking lot while she gets her pain medications. Once there, Jasmine passes the time by recording fights and poking fun at passerbys on Snapchat, including a woman in red heels.
However, Jasmine eventually notices one of her red heels on the ground near the woman's car despite having already walked past her and discovers a man forcing the red-heeled woman into a van before spotting Jasmine, now focusing his attention on her. The man seemingly vanishes from thin air, making Jasmine believe that she's possibly hallucinating the man due to her pain meds.
Jasmine's mother then returns to ask her why she's been screaming and tells her she hasn't seen any man near their car at all despite him banging on her window just moments prior. Just as she's about to calm down, the Gaunt Man suddenly appears in the front seat with her mother missing and the man steals Jasmine's phone as she screams in terror.
