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)

This reminds me of the movie SMILE. The trauma demon disguises itself as everyday-looking people but makes sure that whoever it's targeting knows they're in the room and no one else can see what they are. The demon, when in human disguise, will tilt its head forward like it's preparing to lunge at you.
Somehow the completely clean, bloodless cuts on the ankles makes it all the more eerie.

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.

@@_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
Small detail but I love how the "tiny toe" logo disappears at 5:20. It takes away that level of immersion in believing that this is a real kids TV show, and replaces it with the feeling of viewing a slideshow of found crime footage. The innocence has been lost. The boy is far past the point of return.

i think this is more like a case of hijacking networks, the killer could have made the cartoon and hijacked a popular kids network to broadcast it, since the authorities can't have the knowledge of the conversation of kailyn and the cipsneed, and it would be mad disrespectful to the kid's parents to make a cartoon out of the kid's death. I've heard of cases where killers would go out of their way to mock authorities for not solving their kills, so this might be one of those cases

Since everyone else is doing it, here’s a handful of interesting details I wanted to point out: 1. The narrator (Fantastic job, Richard Stibbard!) has the perfect tone and diction for this kind of story: calm, rich timbre, and the accent has a nice touch of “friendly uncle” to it. (I personally thought Richard was from Northern England because of the accent, but turns out he’s from Cheltenham, near Gloucester!) 2. The abductor was either quiet enough to put Caleb at ease or Caleb was distraught and/or tired enough to not ask too many questions. 3. Caleb’s parents are RIDICULOUSLY deep sleepers, since he clearly went out the front door in order to follow the “Kipsneed” and probably closed it shut, too. 4. Not counting the abductor’s body shot towards the end, we never really see any other PHYSICAL characters, apart from Caleb and the Kipsneed, thus ensuring the vacuum effect that most analog horror seems to work best with: it’s just you and the monster, no one else is there to help or aide you… 5. Something about the lighting effects and the texture of the modeling clay used for Caleb and the Kipsneed really work well together to convey a visual sense of unease with how smooth and shiny everything looks at times, especially since much of the short takes place at night. 6. Caleb’s age is probably one of the most important and telling details in regards to the story’s shock factor: an older child, or one more aware of how the world works, would’ve known something was up at a certain point, and maybe even attempt to escape or fight back. But of course, a six-year-old wouldn’t know such things outside of maybe not talking to strangers. That’s probably how the abductor was able to deceive Caleb so well and trick him into following him. And because someone so young would naturally be enticed by a colorful toy-like creature, it worked out TOO well to the abductor’s advantage…. PHENOMENAL job and massive kudos to Brandon and Richard for their work here!

@@qualing673It’s not literally a fairy. Irl example: Jeffrey Dahmer lured a 13 year old boy to his apartment, drugged him, SAd him, and murdered him. Serial killers can and will do things like this, and the Kipsneed was just a puppet used to lure the boy. This HAS happened in real life. Don’t be obtuse.
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. I think this is showing us the moment the man let the puppet go limp in order to listen more closely. Edit: Holy Moly thanks for 2.5K likes 😁

Not gonna lie, this would make a KILLER anthology series. A new child in every story, still enveloped by youthful innocence, falls victim to some real-world threat (human or otherwise), and each serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers. Damn...

I like to think this narrator was taken by surprise how this story ends. It does start as a kids story, but the predator intercepts it twisting the narrative. The typical fairy tale would’ve had the boy go on a magical adventure, make loads of friends then achieve his mission. Instead, this tale becomes a predators story. His twisted, broken mind took advantage of the fairy tales to lure this kid out, breaking a pattern and sabotaging the innocence of this sweet boys life. You can see the message this wanted to send, and it was effective. Never have I seen the term “stranger danger!” Taken so seriously and portrayed so well. Sensational work 👌

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!

My favorite details came at the end. When we finally see the abandoned house at 4:25, and the narrator's voice becomes slowed and morose, before it finally stops altogether when he enters the house, allowing the camera clicks and photos to carry it along. The slight build up of that high pitched ambiance. It's all so well made but those were the parts that really impressed me.

You may critique maybe the lack of story or the simplicity of it, but I love it, it's so very real and it doesn't need much more, and it is a very unpopular short video, that's why I find it underrated just because I feel like it should get more attention, but it's okay if you have this opinion, I get we all have different opinions on the internet 😊 (although I would say hate is a very strong word, and would advise you to use it more wisely, unless you truly hate my comment, in which I don't get, considering I explained my reasoning).

"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.

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 Kipsneed isnt real, it was just a puppet the kidnapper was using to lure the boy out. The puppet couldn't grab Cailen, that's why Cailen had to be lured out to where the kidnapper could get them.
Kipsneed is really skirting that line between creepy and innocent looking. He's colorful and playful looking, like a character from a preschool show, but hes got forward-facing eyes like a predator, and there are tiny hints to his true nature sprinkled onto his conversation with the boy.

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.

Yeah, I’m more creeped out by your story than I was the video.
It does enlighten the dangers on listening to somebody even if they know your name you should be careful who you talk to, and presenting the boys findings through his camera amazingly thought.
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!

The part at 5:42 is so utterly terrifying just Cipsneed reaching his arms towards Caleb when walking downstairs to the basement and yet the music starts to get intense.

Is he still using the cipsneed to lure him? It looked like the puppet was just thrown on the floor

That’s what that was, the arm behind him made it look like he was flipping the camera off 😂 thought it was an “Aha, got you sucker!” kinda moment
I really wanna see more "Star O-Clock Stories". You could definitely make this into a series, especially with the animation style

Because let’s be honest here. This is the absolute best children’s show designs I have ever seen! You’re a true professional! You are REALLY in the independent animation community! Even kids would love these designs!
I hate how the sleep fairy looks so much like the dolphin man its so weird and a spookie dookie at the same time

The sleep fairy looks cute and creepy at the same time like if a kid saw it they would think it’s cute or magical but if an adult saw it they would be unnerved

This is absolutely incredible. Also, I read some point out that the kid is never confirmed to be dead at the end of this, which is honestly even more horrifying. Leads me to believe that he was a victim of human trafficking- and his legs were removed so he can't run away, to make him an easier target...
It’s incredibly haunting how the little tv logo disappears as soon as he walks into the killers, or what we can assume is the killers house. The childlike innocents is gone as we’re about to figure out the fate of the poor boy.
The best part is the narrator who got the accent, calmness, language style so accurate like those old British children show from the 1970 like Noddy or Magic Roundabout. Gives an uncanny Valley horror

The size of the Cipsneed’s mouth just makes me…Eugh😨😨 he looks terrifying, especially at certain angles😭😭
Seriously the best KZread horror I've seen. No jumpscares needed, just the VHS affect and how close it is to 90s/80s children's media is enough to make you uneasy as well as the design of the fairy as a whole. And the point I find best : It's human cause. It's not some random paranormal activity or a cheesy monster thats luring Caleb to his demise, but rather an actual human being, like Caleb. Humans are the worst monster of them all in horror. Brilliantly done.

Most replayed is when The Kipsneed is glancing back at Caleb from the camera. Genuinely so eerie, such a fantastic job.
While the final line and image were haunting. And the overall sense of dread kept me invested. I think the most horrifying image was the one corrupted photo of the Sleep Fairy beckoning the child into the basement. Its eyes shrunken to dots. While everything else was juxtaposed as realistic in the photos. The "Gipsneed" was just so off in both. Incredible work.

It’s noticed he’s saying kidsneeds which is a type of camera to watch over your children when first born
I like how towards the end of the video, before we see the last photo (around the time he gets to the house) You can already feel a sense of sadness in the narrators voice, as If he already knows what's about to happen to the boy
I feel like a child was saved by this film.
3:40 The Kipsneed fading away and then Caleb looking directly to the audience is haunting. It’s like he’s asking the audience for help or some sort of reality check, but we aren’t there for him. He’s contemplating his options. Poor boy just wants his beloved camera fixed and also probably fears getting in trouble with his parents. I love the childish cartoon this film is set in, but the pictures Caleb took were set in our reality. I also love how it just tore you apart with suspense and there weren’t any jumpscares. I just love this film!
