Short Film: New Year’s Scary Story (2020)

Synopsis

Every year, her family puts on a New Year’s Eve party. This year, she decided to do something else. She went to a party with three of her friends. Instead of the party, they decide to go into an isolated cornfield to set off New year’s fireworks.

Two of them decide to walk deeper down the path, while our girl stays behind with a boy. They all see one of the fireworks going off. Soon after, the two who went into the cornfield return, but they’re different now.

Commentary

It’s more of a narrated slideshow than true animation, but it’s all nicely drawn and has a fun style, with tons of scenes. The story has a “campfire” feel to it; not anything outrageously innovative, but it’s well=told, and the animation is fun.
