House of Monsters is a stop-motion animated short film featuring the adventures of everyone's favorite classic monsters. Best described as 'Rankin/Bass meets Looney Tunes', House of Monsters features a return to old-school filmmaking and hand-made artistry. Being 5,000 years old can leave you a little dry and itchy. Seeking relief with a little moisturizer goes too far and in an effort to regain the vitality of his youth and the love of a very special lady, the mummy sacrifices the only thing holding him together.
Practical Effects
Hand-sculpted stop-motion in a CGI world. Pure tactile joy.
Writing
Eight minutes, one perfect arc. Economy of storytelling.
Director
Dawn Brown
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Dawn Brown built every puppet and set by hand over two years, shooting alone in her garage with no studio backing.
The short deliberately resurrects the 1960s Rankin/Bass aesthetic that CGI has nearly erased from animation history.
