‘Krampus: Home for the Holidays’ - Short Christmas Horror Animation

Share Collapse

Merry Christmas Everyone! Here's a short 2D animated video that I actually started back in 2016 (when I was young and full of youth), but wasn't able to finish it in time for Christmas that year. Or the year after that. But now it's finally done and I'm excited to share it!


'Krampus: Home for the Holidays' is about a girl traveling home on a train one cold winters night, when she's given a visit by a certain evil presence...

Thank you so much! That's really motivating to hear you liked it, and I'll be sure to make more asap.

Great ending.

TraineeArtist responds:

Thank you!

This had a good story.
It grabbed your attention and held onto it.

Animation was great.
The character design could use some improvement though.
I enjoyed this.

TraineeArtist responds:

Thanks very much, I'm glad you liked it! And definitely, I first started this a while ago and have since then learnt a lot about character design, so it's definitely an area I will improve for the future. Thanks again and happy new year!

Very nice, seems like the audio might have been a bit out of sync when he jumped down. But definitely no fault to the story, pacing, or visuals. Very good overall.

TraineeArtist responds:

Thank you, I really appreciate that! And agreed, audio's something I'll be looking into improving in the future.
Happy new year!

That was really well done! That build up with the lights was really cool!!!

TraineeArtist responds:

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
