Ring Ring is a 2019 Indie film that is sure to make you feel… meh. For a film on a decently cheap budget you are sort of impressed by the film’s bolstering of a 6.9/10 on IMDb; of course until you realize most of the accounts are only a couple months old, have only reviewed […]

The Spookiest Name is Emily
What comes to mind when you think of a name that feels “spooky”. You might think of cacophonous sounds or blunt like Lucifer or Vlad or Billy. However, in my reading of multiple horror anthologies I came across something serendipitous. 2 tales, both with a titular character named Emily… a name that doesn’t sound that […]

Return to the Carnival of Souls [31 Spooks of October]
I considered this lost media… but here we are. I made a video a while ago on the cult classic, public domain, spooky horror flick Carnivals of Souls. I had fun making it but ended up finding it a conceptually large review, and didn’t enjoy it enough to edit the planned multiple videos for it…. […]

Missing Halloween – 31 SPOOKS of October FINALE ( HAPPY HALLOWEEN!)
We finally made it Halloween everyone, the spookiest day of the year. To celebrate the occasion, I just don’t have final animation, but arguably one of the best, that from the very beginning I knew was going to be in the 31 Spooks, was arguable one of the convincing few that convinced me to make […]
On Halloween Night – 31 SPOOKS of October
I was originally going to have the most popular creepypasta animation by Strawberry Nightmare on here, which is “I Found a Boy Inside My Walls” but I thought the story was kind of dumb. Boy? In my wall? It maybe more common than I think but how did the dope get in there in the […]

Greed – 31 SPOOKS of October
Where’s the 3D animation at? Well right here, Greed is an animated short final project by Alli Sadegiani. I’m not going to lie to you I have no clue how to interpret Greed, there’s obviously some sort of warped and twisted self-reflection in the form of a demented allegory… but when I got to interpret […]
Zero – 31 SPOOKS of October
I need a zero! I’m holding out for a zero at the end of the ni-ght! Welcome to Zero, not going to waste too much time introducing the creators of the short because if you’ve been following along Zealous Creative was featured before and I talked about all there works when I talked about the […]
Voodon’t – 31 SPOOKS of October

Voodon’t think the main image are the primary animation discussed today is VooDon’t a character animation demo from Kris Rizardo. VooDon’t is not Voodon’t the 4-minute animation about a voodoo doll that comes to life by Deanna Werthauer. So to summarize voodon’t […]
The Backwater Gospel – 31 SPOOKS of October
I miss Telltale Games. With 3 million views on YouTube Bo Mathorne’s Bachelor film project is a special caliber of animated short. I think this is so masterfully done from how deep rooted the story is, how unique the visuals are, and how thrilling the entire thing ends up being. I will warn you (NOT […]

The Face Shop – 31 SPOOKS of October
I have no face and I must scream. A face is pretty important, it contains three of the five senses so unless you’re an avatar for an internet blogger who wishes to remain anonymous then I’d recommend you have one. Meet Neil a kid who for reasons unknown is a little short when it comes […]
Amy – 31 SPOOKS of October
I’m honestly just glad that Karlijin Scholten is alive at this point… well at least I think she is? While I know these are short, I’d like to think I do a respectable amount of research on the people and history behind these hidden gems and looking up Karlijin Scholten made me nervous. At least […]

Especially when the ice cream man may not be such a jovial fella. As simplistic as Who’s Hungry is there’s something about the sketchbook shading, choppy frame rate, […]
The Maker – 31 SPOOKS of October
It is rare to find something as delightfully macabre as Zealous Creative’s stop motion animation The Maker. Producers Christopher and Christine Kezelos execute a gorgeous and stunning little bottle story that takes our cute (slightly off-putting) bunny doll fellow and without explicitly explaining much it’s clear that he is challenged in some sort of race […]
