ALIEN: MONDAY – Animated Horror Short

Posted on August 4, 2024 by HorrorGhouls

The crew of the Thanatos, a remote mining ship at the edge of the galaxy, discover the danger of an uninvited cargo.

On this Horror Short Sunday, we’ve taken a look at Alien: Monday, which is an impressive animated horror short made by Paul Johnson aka OtaKing, animated over a period of six years and co-directed by Claudia “Maki” Montealegre. It’s a tribute to both Ridley Scott’s Alien and classic 80s anime alike. Gotta love the retro style animation and the attention to detail in this!
