The Complicated Art of Horror in (2D) Animation | Traven Talks
Horror, to me, has always seemed like a difficult thing to get right in animation.
I’m not talking about horror as a genre here, but as a feeling - the thing that scares and unnerves, sends chills down your spine and gets your skin crawling in response to the uncanny and unknown, and there are few animated shows and movies that can get that reaction out of me, and as I’ve gotten older they’ve only gotten more difficult to find. It’s not something that affects animation generally - I’ve talked in detail about how the uncanny nature of stop motion can be eerie to watch, and I think CGI is more than capable of making its own frights - but 2D animation has always struggled to feel truly scary.
But that doesn’t mean it can’t be done.
I’m not the first person to talk about this, but I’ve always found the conclusions many reach on this topic to be dismissive or, just lacking. And what makes it even more frustrating is how much the subjectivity of horror itself gets overlooked, cuz different things scare different people in different ways. There’s just a lot more nuance to this discussion that I don’t think gets acknowledged, and it feels like it’s hampered many people’s ability to recognize and appreciate the technical efforts in many 2d animations to achieve that feeling of horror.
So, today, I want to talk about the many different ways 2d animation can scare and horrify!
