Howdy. So finally, here's my entry. While making it I was heavily inspired by classic Japanese ghost stories, as well as Nikolai Gogol's "Viy".
The story is as follows: A rich family invites a servant of God to pray for the soul of their deceased daughter. Little did the priest know, that the spirit of the young woman cursed her entire family and wants them dead. Maybe he will figure out why and just maybe.. come out alive.
Hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it (:
Amazing work! One of the best for me and one of those I really wanna keep! The association with the music is just perfect but when I say perfect, it's a perfect that means: YOU GOTTA SEE THIS AMV!

Awesome. As an horror video, you're probably the one who did the best job. It's easy to understand the story and there's this kind of creepy atmosphere all along you video. What i like in your video is that the animes are all well mixed together to create an original story, and there's no unnecessary effects ( no blood overload, etc.).

Well if I'd have more time, I would try to make them even more alike, for example work more on Mirai Nikki parts, so that they would meet the style of Ayakashi: like removing the shadows and providing more classic Japanese visual aesthetics. Same goes for Madoka parts, but overall I'm satisfied how it turned out, especially for a 3 day time limit ^^

I'm glad you noticed that. Somehow I had a feeling that the horror section will be swarming with Another/Mirai Nikki videos, providing oceans of blood and crazy girls butchering each other. It's kinda sad that I was right ):

Loved it, goosebumps & stuff blablabla... Seriously, knowing Mononoke really well (and that use of Joshiraku XD), it was even easier to appreciate your work, one of the only Vids of this contest with a real horror atmosphére (imo). GJ

I liked it overall but not really more, actually I found the idea of using Mirai Nikki and hiding the eyes of the girl great, but I didn't like much the parts with the other animes. Well the synch was great there but I thought it a bit too easy, especially at the end. Same goes for the psychedelic scenes from Madoka, I admit it was well used though, I'm just a bit too used to seeing them.
But I don't deny it was well done, so yeah good job, you'll surely have a good ranking
