A homeless man seeks shelter in an abandoned building, unaware of the horror that waits for him.
My senior animation piece for UArts. Watch it at night, preferably with some good headphones.

the fact that this man found a heart in a wall in an abandoned building and decided to eat it scares me more than that ghost

Reminds me of one of those really creepy book stories. Man walked by a butchery store window and saw a liver for sale. Dude loved liver, so he bought it and had his wife cook it up for him. After he ate it, a ghost appears and asks where her liver is. The wife just points at her husband and rats him out. The story ends after he screams in terror.

the way you combine 3d and 2d for that animation was so cool the background being a set and using a real light for the animated flashlight was really cool.

I choose the believe the video just ends at 3:20 and this is just a cute small story of an unfortunate fellow who is trying to find somewhere warm to stay and some food, nothing happens past that
this man *really* knows how to make the impression im not safe from any direction. the doll, the weird noise, basically the entire house he goes into is unsafe. edit: he was smiling so big when he found the kindney/heart. that made me very disturbed.
Dude cant even eat a potato without being chased by a demon.
Just discovered this and well done. And I really enjoy the animation style on this one and Pine devil. That being said : 2:51 I knew it was a bad idea. 3:51 you got me.
The fact that she waited for him to return to that hole after eating her heart 💀

Even the doll was like ," yo wtf you were supposed to be scared not eat that shit.."
Dude the drawing here is perfect 4:05
I love the fake out in this. It's hinted that the doll is the scary thing in this. it would be less scary then what actually happened
I love the foreshadowing at 0:35. When the man steps on the door, you hear a creek, implying that the floor there is weak.
Im not sure why but when he found the heart and smile it just made me adore him so much
This saddened me more than it scared me tbh
3:01 Homeless man: Eyeeeh potatoe! Me: NO PUT IT BACK NOW!! 3:28 Doll: Oh you done fucked up! 0_0"

Man. So many classics. I thought i never saw this anination, but when i started watching memories came flooding back.
this is amazing, and the fact that the background is like a whole set that they made irl?(or so I think based on looks) adds to the story a LOT and is beautiful. I also love that the apartment wallpaper is toilet paper, really creative.
The first Gothic element in Midnight Snack is the bad weather. In the video, the literal blizzard taking place leads a homeless man to seek shelter. The second Gothic element in Midnight Snack is the 'castle' element so to speak. The building itself isn't a castle, but its dilapidated and abandoned, and I assume Slender Woman is the 'king' of the place. Seeing shelter, the homeless man easily breaks in and begins walking around the place, checking for unlocked apartment doors and looking for a place to sleep. Which brings me to the third element: the supernatural. There are three main instances of this theme occurring. The first is when the homeless man enters the unlocked apartment and shines his flashlight around the room. A doll that looks like it has syphilis coupled with late stage brain cancer seems to teleport around the room between exposures to the flashlight. This is just a hypothesis, but I'm guessing the doll was a messenger for Slender Woman? Anyway, back on track. The teleporting doll has almost no purpose in the whole film, but it does set a creepy and unsettling atmosphere for the video. The second instance of the supernatural occurring was when the homeless man -I'm going to call him Jim from now on for brevity's sake- was sleeping on the couch after his unsuccessful attempts at finding sustenance. Jim is woken up by some sort of slithering noise coming from a hole in the wall, and when he reaches inside, his hand comes out with an article of protein, presumably some sort of organ. Now, I identify this as a usage of the 'supernatural' theme because the food in the fridge was rotten and there was no food anywhere else in the apartment. Why would a piece of perishable, fresh meat come from a crusty hole in the wall? The video uses this instance of supernatural to further the sense of mystery and creepiness already thickly shrouded around it. Later, Jim is roused by the same slithering noise that woke him earlier. When he looks into the cavity, Jim sees some sort of bloody, fleshy socket. Moments later, an eight foot tall female version of Slender Man reveals herself by crawling out of a hole as wide as the diameter of a normal person's arm. The two sentences above are my third and last example of the supernatural. I think this one is pretty self explanatory. The purpose of revealing a less attractive version of Slender Man was to climax the video and begin the falling action. When Slender Woman pops out of the wall screaming "GIVE ME BACK MY HEART!!", Jim is terrified. In addition, Slender Woman is mad as a bull. This brings my fourth gothic theme, 'extreme emotion', to the table. The purpose of this theme was to slather on a healthy helping of drama and tension to the remaining part of the video. Understandably, Jim makes a run for it. A nightmare inducing chase follows, with Jim panting along and Slender Woman crawling (with awful sound effects) and gaining ground. Finally! The doorway out is in sight! It looks as if Jim is going to escape after all when Alas! he trips on the door he busted in earlier and falls through the floor. Desperately scrabbling the doorframe in vain attempts to escape, a pale, slimy hand pulls poor Jim under into the abyss. Then come a series of interesting sound effects, with the video viewer seeing only blackness. A short time after Jim stops screaming, Slender Woman holds the flashlight up to her body, revealing a new scarlet heart beating afresh where there used to be a hole. The last Gothic theme I was able to identify in this rollercoaster of a video was the 'violence' trait. Slender Woman pulling Jim down into a hole and ripping out his heart classifies as violence in my opinion. The purpose of this was to bring an effective ending to the video, as well as giving the viewer some serious nightmares.

Actually it wasn’t just a slithering sound at the beginning but also the sound of a beating heart. The organ he pulled out and ate was actually the heart of the ghost woman note how she says “give me back my heart!” Also after he ate the heart notice how the doll’s eyes were opened.

Super cute! I’m a huge fan of horror films and I absolutely loved the way you put this together! More please!!!!
This man really rummaged around in a hole in the wall, found some mystery meat, and then ate it without a second thought
The scariest thing about David Romero is that his the characters in his stories are realistic. They think like normal people
man i wanted him to live, no one deserves to be homeless
Ill be honest i kind had some hints that the thing he ate was a heart before the lady appeared. The guy woke up to hear a sound similar to a beating heart and by the time he pulled out the 'potato' from the wall the beating stopped, honestly those hints are quite clever
Finding this animation now much later in life feels extremely strange as I have pretty vivid memories of stumbling upon this as a little kid and being absolutely terrified by it and yet incredibly interested in it at the same time.
3:50 "Who's been eating my zha zhang mian?"
Can we just appreciate the level of detail put into the room with the doll and family portrait? I mean using the paper towel for a rough scale at 1:48, you can see that this picture is tiny. Can’t imagine drawing something so small. Let alone picture frame corners that look so perfect and real. All the practical effects make me wonder if this entire film is claymation while the man is just a card cut out in the right shape with the person drawn on. (The practical effects I’m just now noticing after like 3 views)
i love the part were the monster said "give me back my HEART!!!!!!".
One of the best bits of storytelling with minimal language I've seen ever
Some of these comments are about why he didn’t even ask himself to eat somthing without doubt, but when ur so hungry it’s challenging to think about somthing you wanted for a very long time.. being homeless sucks😔😔😔
