Lychgate is the old english term for the entrance to a church graveyard.

This is an animation for NG Halloween 2009. I was planning to do something for this flash-off for a while and only started 5 weeks ago. I love horror and strange movies so I thought I'd make a bloody weird animation this year.

This is open to interpretation, or you can just think of it as some weird bloody movie, but I think you can tell that all of the characters are dead. Nonetheless creepers, blood and gore are what I love about Halloween so I dug into my brain, pulled this storyboard out and that's what was going in.

5 weeks of labor made this and I'm satisfied with the result for what it is. I enjoyed making it and hope you enjoy watching it.

Thank you to Heroin Slug, an excellent musical artist who provided excellent soundtracks for me. If you're interested in his work leave me a private mesaage or comment about it below.
Congratulations and thanks to Ixintro as well.
Also thank you to Slanted2, a friend of mine who's been animating with me since the start.
Another thank you to Mrs.Tetor and Mrs.Baldauff from my high school for making it possible to do my last 2 movies in school. I owe them 3 trophies and a giant check from the PA computer fair.

Happy Halloween, Newgrounds.com, I really hope you guys enjoy this.

EDIT: I'm glad people are liking this. It's doing well compared to my expectations. It peaked at a 4.01 (edit: 4.14) and just got 5th place for the day. Yay my first NG trophy! Thanks!

EDIT 2: Thank you for front page, Newgrounds staff. That's another big first for me that has happened with this movie. I'm glad people are enjoying it and I thank the people kind enough to drop a review.

EDIT 3: Broke 10,000 views: A milestone for me. Thanks again for front page.
I'd like to ask the reviewers to be specific with problems they find in the movie. If you don't understand the plot, tell me where you got lost. If you elaborate you become more helpful and will actually help me improve. Thank you to the commenters and the helpful reviewers.

Rotten luck...

I wanted to use that name for a book Ive been planning to write for three years now... *sigh*. Well, at least it's not for the title.

You flash is not uninteresting, far from that, even if it can be qualified as 'experimental'. I love the subtle symbolism, and I m sure that if you keep making flash, your movies will be quite awesome to see.

However, I warn you: Bethyl, Attara and Sanctias are already taken ;)


MarcK responds:

haha I'll keep that in mind.
I'm working on improving and my later ones I hope will be extreme-o awesome. Thanks!

Good Job

The heart was on the wring side though... Probably...


MarcK responds:

Probably indeed.

meh

meh seems short, rushed, and a little overdone at parts


MarcK responds:

meh, I can see that.
You couldn't have elaborated with what was overdone?

Strange

He took out his heart from the wrong side.


MarcK responds:

Which obviously makes it deserve a 0.
