PopHorror Let's Get Scared
The Happenstance Horror Fest is coming to Salem, Massachusetts, on November 8th, and there is a lot to cover. I would, of course take the music short films, as I love music. I wasn’t let down one single bit with these stories. They are quite original, and that’s how I like my movies.
Let’s get into the review.
The collection of short films is my answer to everything I ever wanted from anitmation without the film being in the anime genre. What I wanted was a gory movie that featured two of my favorites things: horror movies, and cartoons. From directors such as Al and Anna Liakos, and A. Burnette, the films cover some of the funniest animated films I have seen about killer beer and Santa the viglante. The animators also understood the assignment. The scenery is breathtaking, while providing a fury of animated gore. What else can you ask for as a horror comedy fan? Though csome of the films provide a sense of uneasiness and leaving the bedroom light on all night. Not from being afraid, you just feel different and need your safe space.
Aside from music and dark subjects, the films have amazing storylines that you would think someone else would have done before. However; each story is completely original, something you would have never guessed. Each was fantastic with plenty of gore and intensely beautiful animation. Watching these films is like taking a trip back to MTV’s Television in its glory days. The stories closely relate to all those straight to video movies, only with music and lots of creepiness. The trick to it is, even in a movie where some violence prevails, there is no way out of facing your demise.
My Thoughts
I wish more movies like these short films existed in the present day. Horror was just for a bunch of weirdos for a very long time. Most of us can remember that one movie that changed us and paved our path through enjoyment and wonder. I feel like any of these films would have hit the mold for most horror fans. It was kind of hard to pick a favorite, but I settled on the Creep Dance . Even in its complete creepiness, it still almost made me feel sane , knowing that some one is always around to watch you.
I am completely grateful for the chance to see something that could give me the right amount of creepy even when times are tough, even horror music videos can get a little wild, I live for that stuff. I want more movies like Creep Dance it doesn’t have to make much to follow the films, they piqued my interest in the right way .
The Happenstance Horror Fest is coming on November 8th to show you what ways indie horror can make you feel.
