Gonna take a ride to a place that's dark and spooky...
My entry for the @Markus Magnusson Animation Smashdown!
Oíche Samhain - the ancient Gaelic festival which Halloween descends from - was celebrated on Oct 31st when the pagans believed this world and the Otherworld were closest together, and evil spirits could pass through. Costumes were worn to fool these spirits and protect the wearer from harm. Food was collected and left outside homes to appease the spirits, a tradition which later became our modern day trick-or-treating. To honour this I wanted to animate some ghosts and ghouls dancing a little Irish jig :)
I hope you enjoy!
