October has always been my favorite month. Ever since I was a little kid I enjoyed carving pumpkins, eating massive amounts of candy (which would later be replaced with beer), eating pumpkin seeds, and watching horror movies.
Thanks to the wonder that is the internet, there are a whole slew of spooky films that can be watched on sites such as YouTube and Vimeo.
I'd like to share two movies. The first one is Polydeus. Polydeus is a legendary video game that appeared sometime in the 80's around Portland Oregon. The urban legend has been bouncing around the internet with much speculation. Some claim it was a CIA operation and noted men in black suits taking data from the machine. Others say it was a prototype of a soon to be released game, which had to be scrapped due to the frequent seizures the game caused. The acting in this film is a little over the top, but it wasn't a bad job altogether.
Next is a short animation by The Animation Workshop. The short really speaks for itself, and has awesome atmosphere. Like the last one however, some of the lines are a little "meh." Overall however it's quite original, but draws its animation style from the well of Gorillaz.
