Possibly in Michigan
Possibly in Michigan is a 1983 American musical horror short film written and directed by Cecelia Condit. The music for the short film was created by Karen Skladany. The film is about two women being stalked by a man named Arthur. Plot 
Two women, Sharon and Janice, are shopping at a department store for perfume, followed by man in a black suit and tie, whose face is obscured by a mask. There is no one else in the department store. Both women are said to have a knack for attracting violent men and making the violence seem to be the man's idea. Arthur, the man following them, is introduced as sharing the same inclinations as Sharon and Janice. While shopping, Janice remarks that a perfume smells like her mother's "crazy" sister Kate, who once put her pet poodle in a microwave to dry it, killing both herself and the dog in a fiery explosion. Janice notices Arthur, and both women flee the department store. The women question why men become so strange, and whether it is Sharon's job to kill them. Sharon and Janice part ways after driving home, but Arthur follows them and stands outside Sharon's house, waiting for Janice to leave. While this is happening, a voiceover explains that Arthur has worn so many masks he has forgotten who he is. He approaches the front door and removes his mask, appearing strikingly handsome under it, and rings the doorbell. Sharon, asleep, wakes up and goes to answer the door. When she sees who it is, she drops to the ground and calls Janice. Janice arrives and aims a pistol at Arthur, shooting him several times only for him to evade her and continue inching closer. Sharon calls Janice and says there's a man at her door, whom she refers to as an animal. Arthur picks up a stone from Sharon's yard, revealing a rotting face beneath it, which he uses to shatter the bedroom window and sneak in. Janice escapes, shooting at various masked figures. Arthur comes up behind Sharon and says "the better to eat you with, my dear," in a distorted voice. Sharon turns around, and she and Arthur kiss. Arthur hits her and tells her she has two options: he can eat her, or he can remove her limbs and eat them. When Sharon asks why, Arthur responds that it’s for love. Janice shoots another masked figure and arrives at Sharon's front door. Arthur, holding a knife, begins choking Sharon, telling her she smells good. Sharon asks if there have been others, and Arthur answers that there have been six. As Sharon agrees to be the seventh, Janice aims her pistol at Arthur and fatally shoots him. Sharon is disgusted with herself. The women lay Arthur's body out atop spread newspapers and begin to dismember him, making soup from his remains. While consuming the rest of his meat, Janice notices a masked man standing outside the window, who hides before Sharon can see him. The two women wrap Arthur’s bones in newspapers and throw them into a trash bag which they put out on the curb. A garbage truck comes and collects the trash, hiding all the evidence. Cast
