Every day through October, the Department of Tangents brings you the Daily Horror Film Fest – one short horror film for every day of the month. It might be terrifying, it might be funny. It could be an homage classic monsters or something entirely new. Check back every morning for a new scare as we celebrate horror shorts!

Honestly, I don’t know what the hell to make of this one. It’s a music video for a song called “Hateful Goo” by a band called The Manx, and it’s directed by drummer Max Winston, whose Vimeo page is filled with artfully crafted, ultra-violent stop-motion animated shortsMax Winston, whose Vimeo page is filled with artfully crafted, ultra-violent stop-motion animated shortsMax Winston, whose Vimeo page is filled with artfully crafted, ultra-violent stop-motion animated shorts. The imagery is mind-bending, the kind of hallucination you might have if you fell asleep watching a Tim Burton movie eating bad mushrooms.

The one thing I do know? If I ever come across a video game called Hateful Goo, I am keeping my quarters and myself far, far away from it.

“Hateful Goo,” ya’ll. Enjoy.
