Absolutely amazing. Needs more views. I loved every second. I was so distracted by how cute and innocent it looked that I forgot it was a horror film. making the horror aspects that much stronger.

Hey Battington I Love your work! Keep it up also yeah. I do kinda wish there was more stuff like this

[@cinn4941]

A small detail I love is that when the killer used the sleep fairy disguise/puppet thing, it said that they knew the kid’s name and that they haven’t been sleeping. Meaning that they had been stalking them for awhile which is just scary as hell to me.

[@DannyConeHeadOnceLer]

Exactly had that in mind Especially the stalking to explain how they knew that kid's name

[@Triple_Colors]

Not just that, I think the stalker is also stalking other children. Sense the stalker said to the little boy that "I know all of the boys and girls around the world, including their parents." This could imply that the stalker has been stalking other children and/or maybe only said that to the boy to gain his trust.

[@johndavey2340]

That or the killer knew the boy already, like a neighbor or even a relative

Child abductors are expects at spotting and exploiting vulnerabilities in adolescence. This makes them all the more dangerous.

It was probably a puppet thing.

[@stickynutjuicemoved959]

There's something so sad about the fact that Caleb probably followed the Kipsneed because he thought he would get in trouble if he told his parents that he broke his camera. Feels way too real, too close to how little kids think and how predators take advantage of little kid logic

What makes this even creepier is that the man knows Caleb’s name, this suggests he knows Caleb’s family, which, if you know how common it is for child predators to be someone who knows the victim, adds another layer of realism

I agree! Him knowing Calebs name implies that hes literally planned this whole thing out.

[@wikmarzyc]

The name of the “fairy” seems like a pun on two things: kidnapper and baby monitor (Cipsneed > Kidsneed). Which means this was all engineered, it's was a predator watching Caleb all the time (as in most child murders/kidnappings, it is mostly people close to the family or stalkers who commit the crime)

Small detail but I love how the "tiny toe" logo disappears at 5:20.

Somehow the completely clean, bloodless cuts on the ankles makes it all the more eerie.

[@_loechness_]

While processing the photos, I was confused why there was no blood. I wondered if maybe there is some supernatural element to whatever happened to the boy, like he just clipped out of our dimension. Or maybe his blood was drained, and his body was cut into multiple pieces. I think the most unfortunate theory is that his feet were cut off, so he can't/couldn't run away from his captor.

[@thespicymango723]

@@_loechness_I believe there is blood, it’s just hard to see because of the lighting, but there is circular dark stains next to both of his feet. I think we just can’t see it in more graphic detail because of how the area that was cut is facing away from the camera

[@mimitheechidna]

I think a really subtle clue into the true nature of the puppet, is when the kid mentions his camera and cries, for a quick second the puppets eyes aren't looking at him, they're looking almost at us.

Thats what i think makes it all the more scarier. The fact that the kidnappers actually made it genuinely look likeable to a kid, and the animators didnt play into the "scary monster" stereotype. It's literally a kids toy puppet. But the fact that its intent and usage is so evil and horrific makes it more unnerving.

[@Alex-cx5fh]

I think one of the most chilling details about the Cipsneed is that his eyes are on the front of his face, not the sides. That wouldn’t be much of a problem in any other context, but combined with his large mouth (and what eventually happens), it screams “predator.” For me, this makes each and every scene he’s in so unnerving. Well done!

[@user-zi6ms4td8t]

agreed. being kidnapped is a terrifying thought in itself but this version of it kinda puts the pain on you because then you have to think that you brought yourself into this mess. it’s terrible. this really scared me. also the picture of the outside of the house i swear it had bones and skulls in front. terrifying

[@DerGrosTitan]

im pretty sure he wouldnt, though. the whole point of the scheme was to gain cailen's trust, because most kids actually won't just listen to randoms until they actually do form a sense of security and trust with the person. if he just snatched the kid right there, cailen would just scream and his parents would hear it and everyone else in the neighbourhood too. i think most kidnappers in real life does something similar to what kipsneed did here, maybe less dramatically, but basically luring kids away to their places. paedophiles do this as well when grooming children and inviting them to their houses.

The demon, when in human disguise, will tilt its head forward like it's preparing to lunge at you.

[@ahsjdjsx]

There’s a ton to unpack here. For one thing, the narrator makes this way scarier than it would be with simple dialogue. It sounds less like he’s telling a story, and more like he’s watching Caleb during this. The shift in the narrator’s voice at the end is incredible. He sounds like he’s on the verge of tears and creates even more of the horror in the film. Then there’s the Kipsneed(?). It looks enough like a sweet little puppet, but the fact that it’s eyes are in front of its head and the way the jaw opens is truly terrifying. I know from personal experience how terrifying anything looking at you from your window is, but this? I’d be dead on the spot. Finally, there’s the end. Only Caleb’s feet are left, but why? Is he alive? Is the rest of him in one piece? How were they cut off? There are so many unanswered questions, and that has to be the most horrifying thing about this film. Humans want the answers, and uncertainty leads to terror. Not only this, but the photos are less like parts of the story and more like evidence that whatever happened to Caleb was not simply a kidnapping. It makes this less like a kids show and more like a unsolved case, animated to piece together the clues about what happened to Caleb. This is easily one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen. Every part is perfection. 10/10!

Explanation: The kipsneed/ sleep fairy was a puppet that was used to lure Caleb into an abandond home, where the man (who I assume was stalking Caleb, as he knew his name and knew that he hadn't really been sleeping for the past few days). The stalker was probably either on the roof dangling it down or holding it up in front of the window. It's also possible that it was a costume, but since we see both it and the killer in pictures taken pretty close together, it's less likely. The man then kills Kaleb and dismembers him. They found only the legs

I saw clips of this on a review video about analogue horror. This reminded me of the scariest night of my life. One night when I was a kid, I had a weird dream I was in Venice and my hotel room were full of artwork and motifs of the Gorgon, Medusa. All of a sudden, I was woken up by a female voice shouting out for help. It was coming from the other side of the eastern wall of my room, and there was nothing on the other side, just the sheer vertical outside wall, and my bedroom was upstairs. There was no way anybody could've climbed up to that spot. I wanted to ignore it, so I turned on my TV, which was right next to my window. The problem with that was, this happened before flatscreens existed, it was a cathode ray tube TV, and it made a loud noise when I turned it on. Whoever or whatever was shouting for help heard it and came to my window and started knocking. It was a good thing my roller blind was down. Part of me wanted to open it to see who or what was there, but I was far too scared to. So I put a video on, went back to bed and played Pokémon on my game boy until the voice went silent and I drifted off to sleep. When I woke up, I noticed my TV was still on, and I remembered it was off when I went to bed, then I remembered what happened. This video made me glad that I didn't open the roller blind that night.

[@jessicaemmit4062]

[@geeker6350]

"Hello there, young lad!" greeted the creature, "I'm the Kipsneed! I'm your sleep fair-" It never got to finish as Caleb promptly smashed his fist into the creature's smiling yellow maw and shattered every bone. Still reeling from the impact, the creature staggered backwards, right off the roof it had been standing on. It crashed into the rough gravel driveway below with a thunderous thud. Nothing but silence followed. Having stopped screaming but with his chest still heaving, a trembling Caleb peeked down out from the rustling curtains of his open bedroom window down at the fairy's body lying limp below. A crimson pool of blood circled outwards from its oblong skull and soaked into his mother's prized begonias. In the waxy spotlight of the moon, Caleb was finally able to see the jagged outline of a knife and a thick roll of duct tape that the creature had tucked into both its colorful felt wings. On seeing it absolutely still, Caleb returned to his bed and settled in for a long and satisfied sleep. He didn't need a camera to preserve this particular image.

Haven't seen it commented yet but 2:43 really messed with me. When the kipsneed first arrives he remains fully outside the window but as he talks to Cailen he gets more comfortable and begins gesturing and reaching inside the window. But at this particular moment it feels like a boundary really got violated and the largeness of his "hand" also becomes evident. It also appears to have a very slight motion blur to it as if it was quite a rapid, almost violent gesture. Fantastic attention to detail!

The fact the window was open alone gave me chills. Since any safety offered to the boy by potentially having the window shut/locked was gone at that moment.

This is genuinely one of my favourite short horror films on youtube. I love the way it starts off cutesy and innocent, the only real notion that something is off is the second picture being of a real dog, which most people don't even notice on their first watch. When you first see the 'fairy', you don't realise how creepy the actual words it's saying are at first, even it's name is creepy (Sounds similar to the word Kidnap). The way the narrator's voice changes at the end to be more serious, like it's at the end of a murder documentary or trial seriously creeped me out and the reality of the situation shifting into focus with the realistic looking pictures was the last straw. Genius idea by using a parent's worst nightmare and very memorable with the clay-like animation style. I've watched it several times and I can't wait for what you'll make next.

[@ryknudsen]

My favorite part about this is definitely the sleep creature because there’s so much depth and mystery behind it. Since it’s initially in the style of a kids show the creature could very well be either a “kids tv” display of an abductor, or the child’s confused representation of what an abductor is, this strange thing luring him outside his window. And while this does feel very cold and real, with no clear explanation I can’t help but wonder if it really was a creature or demon leading him to doom. This does so much with so little and it goes without saying it takes a lot of talent to effectively pull that off.

I can't deny that the production quality of this analog horror video is so good and definitely peak and knowing that you used claymation to make analog horror makes this piece of analog horror even more unique. You've outdone yourself Grumbled, and now this is definitely going to be one of my favorite pieces of analog horror forever.
