I Think My Step-Dad's A Werewolf

"Ever since he got back from that hunting trip he's been acting really weird."

A short horror animation for fans of scary cartoons.

The silence really adds to the tension.

[peytonreed]

That roar was him going
“Son, please go to bed, I’ll be back to normal in the morning.”

[DanateDMC]

I was half expecting to just hear the werewolf say "it's bed time young man!"

[lynnboartsdye]

This would make an awesome series. I can totally see a convincing conflict about step child step parent dynamics and when the kid goes to their other parent about it that parent just assuming it’s a matter of the two not getting along

[ghosted]

I like the thought that he's either patrolling the house, or telling his step son to go the heck to bed. He knows where the kid is, he even looks in his direction before growling. He knows the kid is afraid, so he stays out of the room, not to mention the keep out sign. He's still step dad, just a little more... Fluffy

I love how the difference in frame rate ads to the animation. like you think it’s just gonna be a 4fps (I’m guessing) short but then you see how smooth it is when he goes back into his hiding place and you realize that it’s a deliberate choice. Imitating that feeling where you have to be as still as possible and all your movements are as slow and calculated as possible in hopes of making the least amount of noise

[Gabriel-doodle]

Dude, relax. He heard there was a criminal in your area. He’s just being overprotective.

WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THE AMAZING DESIGN OF THE WEREWOLF, IT'S AMAZING Y'ALL!!!

[spiritsofwolves]

One of the few shorts that ACTUALLY have a perfect loop and NO ONE is talking about it

[beastwarsFTW]

He's just keeping watch at night, he already has the boy's scent and he probably sees him as his pup.

[GuyWhoWatchesStuff]

"I can smell you, go to bed it's 11:58 pm"

[crescentedwards]

How cool would it be if, his mom walked past completely oblivious to the fur and talked to the step-dad like he was human because only the boy can see peoples true forms at night

[MYLAR.]

Aww, look! He respects his stepson’s “keep out” sign! What a gentleman

[DaJackCracker]

"Shit, I knew I shouldn't have touched the thermostat!"

[Heyoooo]

Plot twist he’s patrolling to make sure other werewolves don’t break in the house and the growl (like other comments said) was definitely a “go to bed NOW” 😂

[camerakitty]

This is either an allegory for abuse, or it turns out the protective stepdad trope.

[Zakvadr]

“I’m respecting your privacy by not entering your room, but I am asserting my Authority by scaring the absolute shit out of you!”

[negan]

Half expected him to turn human and go "how's it going, sport?"

[mdbgamer]

That last growl was totally a "Go to bed, you lil shit"

[minutemuse]

“Your bedtime is 10pm. Get up for another midnight snack and you’ll be one.”
