The deep-sea abyss (marine biology) meets the uncanny valley (psychology) in my second pure "horror" story. It's not supposed to take place in water, but it is based on the common fear of being caught in the open ocean, never knowing what might stare back at you from the murk.

I also put careful consideration into the types of television characters that people found traumatic when they were younger, and based two monsters directly off notorious examples of "nightmare fuel" from British television (they're in the same shot. I'm not British, but I do enjoy their kid's shows)

I wasn't sure how to rate the nudity or violence in this. There's only one instance of each, both rather subtle and abstract.

Not counting the double-upload of "ants," this is my thirteenth cartoon and I didn't even plan it that way!

Thanks for the feature! I wasn't expected one at all :.

because of the way you made the most beautiful creatures turn into ass fish. Great red angler, though.

Author's Response:

Well, that's the idea. I wanted the monsters to look goofy and ugly, with distorted human features, rather than just being ripped directly from elegant deep-sea fish.

"Lovecraft would have been proud."

While the inspiration for this video is obvious, you manage to capture what I term as the ultimate fear: realizing that you are a tiny speck in the vast cosmos, at the mercy of greater powers. Realizing that the only reason you're still alive is that you are beneath those powers' notice. And then comes the point when something does notice you...
Keep it up. I'd like to see more of this kind of thing in the future.
