Surrealism in Animated Horror | A Look at STOPMOTION on Shudder

We're thrilled to bring you another spine-chilling and nostalgia-infused episode of Horror Rewind! This week, your ghoulish hosts, Kelly and Meg, are taking you on a captivating journey from heartwarming childhood classics to mind-bending surreal horror. We delve into the emotional and psychological layers of today's feature film, STOPMOTION's, narrative, exploring themes of identity, artistic expression, and the haunting influence of a toxic mother-daughter relationship. You'll hear our thoughts on whether the young girl in the film is a ghost, a reflection of the protagonist's childhood, or her creative 'id'. The film's surreal elements keep us questioning reality, much like the fears tied to hypnosis and control. 🌟 Episode Highlights: Nostalgia and Nightmares: Reflecting on "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and Ben Wyatt's moments from "Parks and Recreation." Artistic Identity: Exploring a film about a woman's struggle to break free from a toxic relationship and find her creative voice.
