A Twisted Little Christmas Horror Stop Motion Gem From The Czech Republic.

Bloody Merry Christmas is a wonderful little doll based stop motion animated Christmas horror film from the Czech Republic.

At about twelve minutes long, it tells the story of a family that finds themselves being tormented by a "Christmas Phantom", who has escaped from the local mental asylum, as they are settling down for dinner on Christmas Eve.

The kicker being that the killer has masked himself...as a Christmas tree!

Upon hearing of the culprit's escape on the news, they can't help but laugh.

Though, little do they suspect that they are the next ones to be targeted by this murderous psychopath.

Everything about this kicks major ass.

You've got to love that they have kept the stop motion tradition, of not only Czech cinema, but also Christmas films, alive here.

Such a twisted little gem.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
