I'm back again for another Halloween! Oct 31, 2012!

[svijibear]

i watch this every halloween and love every gory detail from the disembodied echo-ey screams to the little demons coming to visit... thank you for this wonderful creation, blamesociety :D

It was a great video, but...I'm just not quite sure how to put it into a more accurate description. It's haunting (as most Halloween themed films are), can be seen as comedic (due to the nature of the absurdities of pumpkins possessing a conscience), very intelligent and creative, and leaves me thinking about how it must be to see everyday occurrences from another point of view. It's damn good, I'll tell you that. It's no wonder why this creation of yours won the film festival. Great work! :)

[Jesse Night]

I saw this when I was like 5 and thought this was the funniest thing ever...,I know realize what a scary child I was xD

Me:...Oh.
