'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbPw3F4h5Gk&t=0s/ Hyde]]''' is a short horror film by Website/YouTube channel '''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheNukaColaStudios/ TheThreeLancers]]''', and is a contemporary take on Robert Louis Stevenson's Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde, followed by two sequels ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUlpU-VPoFY&t=145s/ The Secret Society]]'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37CCZBVxLUc&t=0s/ Hyde: Relapse]]'', although the titular character is part of a trio in the second film, which is not needed to understand the third, although provides a tiny amount of clarity.

----
!!These short films provide examples o:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Hyde and Hyde: Relapse]]
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler: Tom]] can barely remember what he gets up to as Hyde, save for several fuzzy memories of [[spoiler: his murders]].
* BeardOfEvil: Invoked by Mr. Hyde's mask, the same one as from Comicbook/VForVendetta, only in black and gold.
* BringMyBrownPants: Dale, [[spoiler:Mr. Hyde's]] last on-screen victim, loses control of his bladder when confronted by the aforementioned serial killer. Even lampshaded by [[spoiler: Hyde]] himself.
-->'''[[spoiler:Mr. Hyde:]]''' Oh, ''you're taking the piss!''
* EyeScar: Mr. Hyde's mask has a scar over the left eye.
* JekyllAndHyde: The entire premise of these two short films.
* MaskOfSanity: As shown in ''Hyde: Relapse'' when he impersonates a police officer, Mr. Hyde is very capable of acting calm and composed, as opposed to his maniacal behavior in the climax of the first short film. This in part appears to be a creator's choice, however, as Hyde is also extremely calm in ''The Secret Society'', despite not having to conceal his true identity as [[spoiler: a (former) serial killer]].
* StarvingArtist: Tom is an art student living in a tiny, one-room flat what is presumed to be a large town or city.
* TitleDrop: In ''Hyde'', when James suggests Tom name his newfound drug "Hyde" as opposed to "Jekyll & Hyde".

[[folder:The Secret Society]]

* AllMythsAreTrue: Played with in regards to the "fictional" characters in this film:
** Goole pretty much admits to having inspired Theatre/AnInspectorCalls, saying it was "based on true events".
** Mr. Hyde, on the other hand, is little more than a similar alternate-personality having adopted the name from [[Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde the novella itself]].
** The Invisible Man is possibly the most distant, being a ''literal'' invisible man accidentally created by a rogue experiment, and having absolutely nothing to do with the book, although Goole [[Main/LampshadeHanging lampshades it]].
* AntiHero: Pretty much all three members of the Secret Society are this, with Hyde being only ''slightly'' less axe-crazy than in his solo films, the Invisible Man rather prone to violence, and Inspector Goole being just a general ManipulativeBastard.
* BasedOnATrueStory: In-Universe. Inspector Goole makes a joke that "his" [[Theatre/AnInspectorCalls play]] was inspired by true events.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: The Outcast, being a humanoid entity with demonic black eyes.
* FindTheCure: Played with. Goole promises the Invisible Man a cure if he helps defeat The Outcast, only to reveal [[spoiler: Goole does not even ''have'' the cure]]. His dialogue, however, suggests there [[spoiler: may be a cure, but they just have to find it]]. The Invisible Man declines this offer.
* InvisibleJerkass: The unnamed Invisible Man can be a bit of a prick at times.
* MeaningfulName: Inspector Goole, being the same one as from Theatre/AnInspectorCalls.
** Mr. Hyde himself could apply for this trope, as only twice in the entire three-film series is he seen without his mask, and the latter is a short hallucination sequence.
** Tom Stevenson, his surname being an obvious reference to Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of the [[Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde book upon which this character is based]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: Inspector Goole has the appearance of a younger man, despite looking exactly the same in the 1937 flashback and, if his quip about his eponymous play is any indication, was also around in the 1910s.
* PowerTrio: Of the CombatDiplomacyStealth variety: Hyde usually attempts to stab his problems, Goole is rather skilled at talking people into doing what he wants, and the Invisible Man is, well, invisible.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Goole in the sequel quips that he's "not sure that's entirely possibly anymore" in regards to his head being blown off by a gun, although it is unclear whether or not it is this trope or CompleteImmortality of which he speaks.
* TitleDrop: When Goole tells Mr. Hyde he's forming "a society - ''well'', a ''secret'' society".
