How's it going lurkers? Do you want to see more Animated Horror Shorts, that are under, over, or about 5 minutes long in my Cartoon Sunday blogs? Let me know in the comments section below today's blog.
I cannot speak for everyone else as far as today's weather forecast goes, but it has been storming like crazy here in Wisconsin lately.
In fact, it was just storming earlier this morning, when I was trying to re-watch Naruto Shippuden in English.
Whether you are reading a story or watching something on TV, video, or online, there is something about thunderstorms that stimulate eerie feelings. Thunderstorms can also be eerie in real life.
There is a lot that can go wrong, during a storm. In David Romero's Animated Horror Short, "Other Lily," the thunderstorm helps set an eerie yet ominous tone.
On a dark and stormy night (The setting sounds cliche, but it works for Horror), Lily receives a text message from her father. He reminds Lily to make sure her younger sister, Beth goes to bed before 10 pm.
As Lily walks up the stairs to check on Beth, Lily notices a picture that was drawn by her younger sister. Beth drew herself, Lily, and another Lily in the picture. In the picture, Beth refers to her as "Other Lily."
"Other Lily" looks quite sinister in Beth's illustration. It makes me want to call "Other Lily" "Evil Lily" because she looks creepy as well as evil. Eventually, Beth's older sister, Lily goes to bed.
As a side note, Lily suffers from sleep paralysis, which may have horrific implications in her waking life.
In case you don't know about sleep paralysis, it can cause frightening hallucinations and nightmares. To learn more about sleep paralysis, you can read about it HERE.
So... while Lily sleeps, she dreams of the "Other Lily" opening her bedroom window and crawling around on her ceiling, waiting to attack her.
Before the "Other Lily" could attack her, Lily awakes from her nightmare. Suddenly, Lily hears loud crashing noises from downstairs.
Watching this short by David Romero will shock you. "Other Lily" without a doubt has its share of WTF?! Moments towards the end of it. The ending especially feels like a disturbing cliffhanger.
I did not explain "Other Lily" in its entirety on purpose.
How much fun would it be, if I spoiled EVERYTHING for my lurkers and subscribers?
It would completely defeat the purpose of me sharing this disturbing short. Some things are better left to the imagination. If you would like to know what happens next, you will have to watch "Other Lily" for today's Cartoon Sunday.
