Top Comments of this video!! :3
I like how the narrator, isn't recounting events to warn people away, as seen in stories like "At the Mountains of Madness", but for selfish reasons, so he doesn't have to deal with it anymore.
I also like how his curiosity, is what helped The Worm to live. Sparrow knew, had the capacity to do awful things, to keep others from spreading The Worm, but also the strength to keep from spreading it herself. What she didn't count on, was a curious doctor, who had the moral flexibility to not only undergo a frowned upon practice for answers, but to spell it all out, in order to free himself. She almost won, if it weren't for him.

This has two of my absolute favourite horror tropes in it!!
1) Cognito hazard type thing that gets “passed” to the viewer at the end
2) The LITERAL monster is not actually the TRUE monster (while The Worm is indeed terrifying, the psychiatrist is the one who allowed it to escape, infected everyone else with it, and also abused his power to violate a vulnerable patient’s consent and a whole bunch of other malpractice things — The Worm wouldn’t have spread if it wasn’t for him)
This was SO fantastic, the atmosphere and everything else was SO haunting and beautiful and just brought everything together, I just discovered this channel today and these are all so amazing!!! 💕💕

I can tell, even as abstract as it was drawn, that poster on the cell wall is the Hang In There Cat.
Which adds to the cuteness of the animation and the horror of the situation. Why would the hospital remind patients that suicide is an option?

Shocked to see none of the comments acknowledging the true horror aspect of this, the medical malpractice. The narrator isn't sympathetic at all. As someone with mental illness who has had psychiatrists good and bad, I would not want to be in this guy's care ever. The attention to detail with the notes on his patient and the way he makes subjective assuptions about her and belittles her (soft-spoken, smaller than expected, etc) is subtle but terrifying.

I love how the doctor's moral flexibility and her vulnerable position adds its own layer of horror, and puts a hauntingly relatable twist on the "horror as morality tale" trope.
If you cross people's boundaries for their own good, it miiiiiight turn out well...
But keep in mind, you might just get your brain eaten by a contagious lovecraftian dream worm! 🙃

A lot of people have been asking questions so I'll just pin this here! - What is that song on the radio at the beginning? It's an original song we made for the video. We called it "Thinking It Over" and it was written by my buddy Ryan Carlson who did all the music you hear in "The Worm". He's awesome. Ryan's friend Carmen Elle did the vocals for us. - Where can I listen to the full song? Here you go! open.spotify.com/album/1hF6L6a6UCIXe049y0pf11 - Is the opening sequence a dream? Yes. It is one of Sparrow's dreams. - Are you going to make more stories? Absolutely. It'll probably take a while though. I also have a regular job and animation takes a lot of time and work. I make this stuff because I love doing it, so I'd rather just take my time and be happy with the things that I make than rush out videos just to chase some algorithm or something. This is just for fun. - What did Sparrow actually do? What she had to...
