The Werewolf Of Dublin (Animated Short Film)

‘The Werewolf of Dublin’ is an animated short film that is heavily inspired by the visual style and narrative of 1940’s to 1950’s pulp horror comics and movies. The film centres around the negative aspects of living in Dublin. It follows James, a young post-graduate living in Dublin who works a tiring 9 to 5 in the city all the while, the narrative of a supposed werewolf haunting Dublin is permeating across the minds of the public.
This film draws a lot from the feeling of being out in Dublin after dark, and the tension that comes with trying to get home in the dark and not wanting to be out late. The film manifests this as the fear of not wanting to be assailed by the Werewolf that resides in the darker corners of the city.

seeing a werewolf standing in an alleyway like it's nothing is much scarier than you think.

So Irish people still do the voice even in their final moments

[@henrynautilus3072]

They really do commit to the bit don't they?

[@user-bi4ms7bs4e]

“Who let the werewolf in?” Interesting, seems people have a much more steadfast belief in this. Also implies that werewolves might be a people or a disease that should be quarantined.

[@ruijie1961]

I love the way they stare down each other, almost in shock, almost in surprise. Like how a predator gets unexpectedly caught sneaking up to an unsuspecting prey and they lock eyes.

[@mysteryxio9957]

We need more Irish werewolf representation in media

[@linkfan160]

Considering that's where the legend of Werewolves originated from, I agree!

[@christianjudeberbano3134]

​@@linkfan160 the first werewolf myth came from Greece. Look up king Lycaon.

"The film centres around the negative aspects of living in Dublin" lmao yes finally a short film highlighting the famous werewolf epidemic in Dublin

[@alexjewett7455]

Ireland actually has a clan of werewolves called the werewolves of ossory. Maybe he's related to them.

[@catbatrat1760]

Oh, the werewolf guy has a Xenomorph poster in his room! That's cute, I like that! :D

[@shanon4768]

a werewolf who mauls creeps hitting on women in dark alleyways? That's king shit right there

[@beepbeepbomp]

TRUE!!!!

[@nekomataumbreon]

In Irish folklore (or at least in certain parts), werewolves are protectors. So it makes sense.

[@bookvee]

But he was just being friendly! He said so himself, so it must be true, right?

[@Cardinal_claw]

He literally just said hi though, didn't follow them or comment about their looks. He was a bit annoyed to be brushed off but most people would be. Plus he was actively walking away from them. I love the concept but that wasn't exactly a good example of it

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

@@bookvee Maybe that werewolf can tell if someone is lying or not...

[@minimonster2319]

Love the tension in the scene where the guy turns and sees the werewolf. Absolutely horrifying. Very well done! c:

[@BattlerUshiromiya9999]

I really love the conversation between our werewolf man and his coworker friend. The Voice acting gives off a very casual vibe, subtle, and lax!!~

[@locomotivefaox]

Oh this is proper cool! Very fun style and Its always cool to have werewolf stories that focus on becoming such a social pariah beyond your own control. Makes for good fiction with more to say I think.

[@MsASMARVEL]

Very cool! The style is really stand out and the concept is intriguing! I like how it's focused on the person instead of what he becomes.

[@como170]

I loved this! I love hearing Irish accents and seeing the images of the Dublin bus in the setting for fantasy and horror. The Kirby dots were a great creative choice. Great work Connor.

[@WaveOfDestiny]

The werewolf:(⁠^⁠.⁠_⁠.⁠^⁠) so uuuh, do you know where i can find a really good barber around here?

[@luislobato9208]

I’d love to see a follow up to this, maybe going into the lore of how James became a werewolf

[@Aghross]

would have been funny if he would have been like "xsuse me u got some spare cash, i got a bus to catch" instead of killing the guy XD

[@Beardqt]

"no cash" "i've got cashapp"

[@michaelfuller7065]

would be interesting to see

[@dhalav]

"jesus christ James, stop making so much noise! Don't you see what time it is?"

[@fosyatheiguan1868]

Woman's voice in the end: "James how many God damn times I told you not to howl in tha house! Go outside"

[@gimmeyourrights8292]

I'd watch a full series of this.

[@venessafugi6768]

As soon as he gripped his wrist like that when he got in the door, it was pretty obvious what was about to happen. This was super cool to watch, and the style and animation are absolutely beautiful!

[@CurtRose]

Not going to lie, I am intrigued. Well done.

[@Kat.0n.a.h0t.tin.r00f]

[@ethy_bates_art]

stunning work... as others have said, the art style is gorgeous. congratulations!

[@someeejit]

This is great! Love the graphic novel style

[@ZelphTheWebmancer]

This looks really cool but James VC mumbling his line made it very difficult to understand what he was saying Aside from that, seems like a very cool concept

[@MidnightUrge]

Awesome work, i love it!

[@d.4520]

YOoo that must have taken so long to make! And its so cool!

[@ndres6955]

(spoiler, but like, why would you read the comments *before* watching the video anyway??) I love this, the artstyle is very interesting, and I like the choice of making *almost* every shadow into a pitch-black void, I think this emphasizes "the feeling of being out in Dublin after dark". I'm not fully sure what the message is, or If there even is one. All I know, is that the werewolf(aka James) here is...n't evil??? Anyway, like I said, not *too* sure. Also, wait a second, aren't werewolves considered to be good in Ireland? Like, didn't irish werewolves help and protect their families from harm in Irish folklore? I wonder If there's a message here about how foreign influence might change a nation's beliefs about certain things, people, or even groups fo said people? ...very interesting... Anyway, in conclusion, can't wait to see more! :) **sigh** Fine, you got me, I *do* think the werewolf is kinda hot, but It's not like I *asked* to be born Autistic, geez!

[@michealapearse8256]

there's an episode of Gargoyles that's kinda similar to this titled "The hound of Alster"

Very cool animation! It definitely conveys the atmosphere of Dublin at night. Though I have to wonder how much the lad is spending on clothes in Penneys if he's ripping them off every time he transforms 😉

[@thewebsurfer2919]

The werewolves of Irish folklore are far more peaceful than this short portrays them as.
