Welcome back to all of our loyal fans!
I couldn’t be happier to present to you this latest milestone for World of Death. This is episode 150! We may not have tied with such 80’s classics as Perfect Strangers, Webster or the riveting Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. But, can you believe it’s already been 150 episodes of gut-wrenching gore and calamitous kills? We’ve done our best to provide you with the best in independent horror and we couldn’t be more pleased with the loyalty you have shown us. Without this vast network of both filmmakers and crews and fans of the genre alike, [cliche alert] we wouldn’t be here without you, so cheers to you! This one is for all you creeps and creepettes vicariously viewing this WORLD OF DEATH event.
Today, we’re only serving up one course for you, but it’s a juicy prime cut from our vault. A friend of the WORLD OF DEATH team, director/writer/animator Christoph Younes brings us the simply named SLEEP. Chris is an extremely talented stop-motion animator and shows off his skills in this terrifying tale of Tom. Tom has been left at home by his mom and starts to creep himself out bit by bit as he decides to make his way to his bedroom to turn in for the night. As he gets himself tucked in, the noises become more and more intense and he must come face to face with his fears. Are they warranted or just figments of his imagination? You’ll have to watch to find out. This has the feel of a Tool music video in the cinematic universe of the Insidious films. I was a big fan of the score and eerie string cues driving the story and creating the atmosphere. You almost forget you’re watching stop-motion animation, but at the same time, the deliberate sloppiness of the clay is jarring and gives the viewer an uneasy feeling. Overall, we think you’ll be very pleased with this.
Thank you all for hanging with us for 150 episodes and we hope to be here for 150 more, bringing you the best in indie horror. We literally can’t do this without you, so if you have a short horror film, make sure you submit it to us and maybe you could be featured in an episode!
Anyway, ROLL IT!
