I just launched my new horror web series The Night Country, the pilot episode is available online and blender was used extensively on the vfx end of the project. We are also launching a kickstarter campaign to raise funds for additional installments of the series.
I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

Creepy and entertaining though mindly confusing what I was watching. Which ... maybe that's the point. hehe. Looks professional anyway. Good work.
I like it, just like in my dreams. Timeless, silence, confuse, but knowing that is just a dream.
Looks very cool and stylish! But it's not scary.. yet )
This looks nice. I like the plot - although I don't really get the message, I fear.
Very nicely done. Impressive work ! Sleep Paralysis is something I know very well. I studied dreams over three decades (I am a lucid dreamer) and discovered many things about phenomenon occuring in pre or post sleep period. One of the most important are that hallucinations occuring in sleep paralysis can be controlled at will once the phenomeneon is identified and the fear is banned.
An other one is that for most people affected by sleep paralysis the cause is the consumption of food containing sodium glutamide ! As soon as I understood that and paid attention to the thing I eated, I never had sleep paralysis again. Except by accident when eating something with sodium glutamide ! This substance is generated at very small quantity by specific neurons and is a very important neurotransmitter.
When absorbing extra sodium glutamide by feeding way, you saturate the neurons receptive to sodium glutamide, and kill many of them. The result is very bad hallucinations and paralysis ! As the phenomenon occurs only when the brain comes to idle status, hallucinations occur only when you are starting to sleep or jus before awaking. Take care of you brain ! You know what you must not eat !o)
I eat many food with glutamate but never have hallucinations or paralysis.
Very interesting thing about this sodium glutamide! I didn't knew that is so bad for dreams!
I know a good dream experience: drinking matte "tea" (it's not a tea) is very good for seeing exceptional and wide visions in dreams. This is some tree's bark and doesn't contain coffeine or tanine which can keep you fresh and un-sleepy.
that was great reminds me of "the grudge".very unsettling,un-nerving.
You are lucky. Many people have very bad experiences. visible effects depends on individual sensitivity, but background effects (neurons destruction) if for everyone, unfortunately.
I have been suffering (and to me it is suffering) from sleep paralysis since I was a little kid. I had two episodes last week and one last night. I have been reading that only a few percentage of people experience sleep paralysis on a regular basis. I wish mine would go away.
