Hi folks, lIl be uploading a behind the scenes on this video in the next few days.
It'll share many of the techniques used to make films like this... and explain why I felt the need to re-upload a couple of times ;)
You know, as much as I love these little edits, you do realize that these keep resetting your viewer counts for this, right?
What you could do is simply link the improved versions in the description or comments for the old ones, which as a bonus would also allow people to compare the before/after.
A fantastic work of art. Would love to see this be a album or even a book with the songs. They are shocking yet moving. As a storyteller In training this provides a lot of helpful information. Good work, never a bad video. Have a great holiday
Hey Barnaby, am i going mad or is this a reupload? I seem to remember showing this to my parents this halloween
what happened to him
@@MrRandomSuperheroIt is a reupload. He mentions it in a pinned post.
Barnaby, I certainly hope you don't have a bout of unhealthy perfectionism striking your heart, like some folks here are prone to struggle with. I think we can all agree you hit this one out of the park.
This video was my favorite the first time. There was a more in depth opening introduction maybe?
Barnaby, please don’t work on these for too long, I would hate for you to wait too long between posts, or worse yet, get burnt out and leave the platform like all those other perfectionists. I just want what’s best for you ‘cause I’m hungry for your content.
A little “roughness” is a good thing. This was awesome and I am watching it AFTER I watched the BTS video… You are so freaking talented … I wasn’t expecting the young man to be alive in the basement
The creepiest character is a puppet based on a burlap voodoo doll. Don't y'all love it when story elements just work?
Don’t wanna be an ELA teacher, but I think it’s kinda symbolic how whenever the boyfriend offers a cup of water, he is met with hostility. Just a really cool detail imo.
I never noticed how natural the puppets’ movements are and how expressive the Narrator is. His eerie eyes add just the right amount of dread to an already unsettling tale !
Normally the video mouth screen would hit uncanny valley hard for me. And this is "normal" for me, but in the context of horror works really well.
As a resident of the pines myself, I truly appreciate the work you put into telling stories worthy of the ill wind that blows through the wood, the creaking footsteps in the night, the snapping twigs that echo the presence of something sinister, and the macabre feeling that you're being watched, only to turn and see nothing amiss. Your storytelling is some of the best mediums for horrific folk tales that come from our neck of the woods, and I hope you never stop telling stories such as this. The chill up the spine of all who hear is a testament to your power as a storyteller.
The third time's the charm, they say.
It's criminal how few views this video has. These types of videos have so much heart and charm and it'd be an absolute shame if they stopped being worth doing for you.
I don't quite remember the details of the previous two uploads enough to be sure of what changes were made, but I love how this time I think the Storyteller is more engaged with what he's telling. Like he controls granny, and appears behind the cloth of the vision. Makes me really get to see the little details of his movements and hands. It's so amazing how these are just little hand puppets. Great work!!
Phenomenal attention to detail! The ghost of the 'witch' around the 7:20 mark was a great touch!
Well after seeing every version, I now know this song by heart. Granted a chilling heart, but hey. Seriously, I love this hunting song. The lyrics are so well thought of.
⭐️ Spoiler alert: Mr. Dixon is telling himself to get a haircut!
After that behind the scenes video I studied this one as well and noticed that grandpa’s body was actually there and I never noticed that detail before.
after I watch the behind the video I want looking for the second doll at 6:17 when the boyfriend find the foot prints in the lightning, the lightning at the ritual 6:31, and witch or ghost possessed the girlfriend show with the lightning again at 7:20
3:50 “some man who nowadays we call a snitch”
Lyrics Ladies and gentlemen😂
Just brilliant!! Your pieces really bring me back to my childhood, we used to have a puppet show about our creepy folklore legends, but now its all gone. Thanks for keeping this art alive!
4:26- 4:42 hypnotizes me. The rhythmic footsteps, the wordless vocals, the chattering of bones…
YES I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHO APPRECIATES IT, every time I listen to that part I get full body chills and goosebumps, I ESPECIALLY LOVE the background snare-y bass and the vocals. And yes it is ABSOLUTELY beautiful and hypnotic 😁
Your production and story telling quality have become outstanding! It's so well made and unique. Hope you keep going!
Wish you all the best!
I love the conceit of a "Grand-Other", it's beautifully clever!
The lil blue and orange have PTSD from the song of the siren they need therapy
Am I going crazy, or did you post this several months ago? I distinctly remember watching this before...
Some version definitely existed before
Beautiful. I can't say enough how hauntingly beautiful these creations are.
I'd LOVE to have just the guitar music by it's self. It's so beautiful.
"She'll kill every man who walks this land for sending her to hell"
Something about that line has such power here; the instrumentals, the strain to reach the high note, the finality of it all. Well performed.
the off-kilter lyrics just add to the uncanniness of the song, I love it
I think I've watched all 3 uploads of this and I've enjoyed everyone. My only note is I feel so weird that your lips never seem to close or maybe it's a fish eye lens?
Edit, can't wait for the behind the scenes.
I finally noticed the outline of the ghost in the lightning when the girlfriend looks back at grannys corpse, bravo on that detail. I'm also seeing a lot of artifacting in the black background, I don't know if that is my internet or if reprocessing and uploading the video multiple times has caused that.
I've been hoping for this for a while and being born and raised in Appalachia it only makes it better. The fact that each episode in this series has such a distinct difference is so lovely. So far it's been a Germanic forest, winter sea, and Appalachian cabin. I have so much love for your work Barnaby it's been such an inspiration to my own art.
What am I seeing at 6:17 in the lightening flash? Anyone else know if that's an odd shot of granny or another puppet, maybe?
It might be the “witch” having come from the water
It is incredibly rare that I like videos. It needs to truly be something that wows and shocks me, something I want to watch again later. You earnt my like. Many times over.
Ever considered putting your songs up on Spotify? :P I really wanna put this one on my favourite songs playlist! XD
Hey, hopefully, during This Halloween of 2024, the Creepy Puppet could be fixed so that we can have another one of these stories.
These videos with the horror stories are my absolute favorite of yours, thank you for your incredible talents of writing, production, and performance. Your stuff is amazing, man. Seriously, it makes me angry that your stuff still seems to be underrated on this platform.
Hello ! Is this song available on Spotify, Deezer, of it is available for purchase ?
That's my favorite kind of spooky, dark elements with a splash of music and humor!
I was glued from start to finish, you rendered simply yet powerfully a catchy story! The amount of work behind it is astonishing and a testament to that is it feeling effortless…
Remimds me of Aurelio Voltaire's work! Love how far you've come
At 1:54 they could have made the boy sitting down a little more detailed it looked kind of rushed.
What a brilliant show! I love how the puppets move so smoothly, so much character to them!
Y'really have great talent, Mr Dixon!
these videos really deserve a ton more views than they're actually getting. the creativity and the quality alone is worth over millions of views. keep up the good work man. one of the best type of videos on youtube
This is Absolutely Stunning! Great Work Barnaby!
Work of art. Love your stuff man.
What is happening with dabchik getting on good
6:04 in the behind the scenes you said there was another figure that wasnt granny, i think its the grandpa and i think it appears in the marked time, tumbled and left of the young man. I thought it might be the witch but i couldnt find her at all.
wait no, i think i saw the witch at 7:19. That must be the other figure!
I need this on spotfy so bad
I really love this video a lot but am I crazy or did he already upload this like three times
I love your work, but I really wish you'd stop doing these toy channel-esque titles. They always turn me off from clicking the videos
A little demented, but the production was good. My main problem was you using God's name in vain. Can you please not do that in the future? Thank you.
It's Cool🎉🎉🎉🎉
I found that other burlap doll that was mentioned in the behind the scenes 7:20 at the lightning flash. Its the lady from the lake :0
HELL YEAH!! I love these! The silly little guys and the story is just amazing! Good job!!
Dude! This is straight money bro! The whole production was awesome!!!
So, this was the first video of yours I've watched after just seeing the wired coverage, and wow, what a great one to pick, i'd be stupid if I didn't check out more
This is like "The Tom Waitsmare before Muppets Christmas Carol"
MANNNNN……… I was expecting to click off, but the moment that song starts…… I only found myself more interested by the verse, ended up staying till the end…… now wishing it never ends.
MOARRRRRR……… I need MOREEEE
So, going by the rules of this curse, if this was a lesbian couple nothing would've happened?
And if it was a gay couple the granny would've offed them both immediately?
High up in the hills of Appalachia,
On a long and lonesome, dusty road
Two young lovers driving,
Soon to be arriving,
At the door of granny's small abode.
Granny seemed more frail and more distant,
But she, of course, had every right to be.
Grandpa had departed;
left her broken-hearted
wallowing in pain and misery.
The house, too, was unusually untidy.
With a ropey washing-line strung through the hall.
Granny, once so proper
living like a squatter.
Smells like she's not showering and all.
Still the young man couldn't help but notice
For reasons that weren't even known to him.
Something about granny
seemed a bit uncanny.
Like something else was living in her skin.
That night, he hears her.
Shuffling through the hall.
She stops. He's searching.
She's right outside the door.
He twists the door knob,
And hopes it's just a dream.
He steps outside to realize
Granny's nowhere to be seen.
The morning daylight brings an explanation.
What a fool he'd been the night before!
Laundry in the hallway,
Hanging near the doorway.
That's why she'd been shuffling by the door.
He laughs and tells the story to his girlfriend,
Who granny had sleep in a different room.
She smiled but was thinking,
Of dreams where she'd been sinking
That plagued the poor girl's sleep the whole night through.
Granny's mood was sour over breakfast,
The young man fetches water from the tap.
She takes one look at the cup,
And instantly throws up,
Saying, "Are you trying to kill me with that crap?!"
The girlfriend, too, is feeling quite off-color.
Those awful dreams kept coming every night.
And sometimes when she'd wake,
She'd wander to the lake.
And watch the moonlit ripples glowing bright.
And then it hits her,
A vision clear as day.
She rubs her eyelids,
It doesn't go away.
A rush of terror,
Slicing through her soul!
A narrative so chilling,
Listen - this is how it goes.
Long ago in this very location,
A group of ancient settlers did dwell.
There; there lived a maiden
Who made a living aiding
Other women with their reproductive health.
From the group there came an accusation,
from some man that we'd now-a-days call a snitch.
This once dejected lover,
Riled many other.
And named her as their version of a witch.
The bound her limbs and took her to the water.
And just as they were lowering her in
Before she was submerged
She muttered one last curse,
"May all the women murder all the men!"
That evening they had a celebration.
They shimmied to the rhythm of the band.
On return from the dance
As if in a kind of trance
Every woman slashed the throat of every man.
He hears a screaming coming from the lake.
He goes to find her.
But granny is awake.
She's by the basement,
"She's down there, love! She's scared!"
He feels the blade slice through his neck,
Then she shoves him down the stairs.
Granny greets the girlfriend by the doorway,
and asks her what was troubling her so.
The girlfriend starts to say,
But she pauses right away.
Cause she's just seen the blood on Granny's clothes.
Granny's smile turns into a grimace.
"There's something I'll be telling ya now, dear."
She grips her by the shoulder,
the poor girl feels colder
As granny whispers something in her ear.
"I know you saw her rising from the lake.
She'll come, she'll find you,
Even now when you're awake.
There's no use crying,
She'll take your soul, as well.
She'll kill every man who walks this land,
For sending her to hell."
The young man gasps and looks around the basement,
He's bleeding but not badly hurt at all.
It seems that granny's cut
didn't quite go deep enough.
Plus, the corpse of grandpa broke his fall.
He staggers up the stairs into the hallway,
and notices wet footprints on the floor.
He stands there looking stunned,
As they landed one-by-one
Heading straight for granny's bedroom door.
He kicks the door down.
The ritual has begun.
His girl convulses as granny shrieks in tongues.
He wraps his fingers around his granny's throat.
She flails as he squeezes, but eventually
she croaks.
The young man rushes over to his girlfriend,
Who's eyeballs are still rolled back in her head.
She suddenly breathes in,
Realizes it's him,
and says "Thank the lord, I thought that you were dead!"
He finds the blade that granny used to cut him,
he says "Thank the lord this knife is pretty dull.
I'm pretty sure she's gone
But if it turns out that I'm wrong;
Hold it tight and stick it in her skull."
The young man gathers up all their belongings,
and tells her that it's time for them to go.
He quickly gets a drink
of cold water from the sink.
And grabs a few more glasses for the road.
He goes to hand one over to his girlfriend,
The room around her spins and starts to fade.
Her head is getting light
And she feels her fingers tight
Wrapping around the handle of the blade.
(It's not perfect, but I did try!)
A terrifying tale, fantastically told. Loved it!
WHAT?!!! THis is such a great piece…… O.O I didn't regret clicking into the video at all…… He does need to up his clickbait game, cause it was a gamble that I made when clicking into this video. The thumbnail and title didn't really give much to expect. (Which is why I'm utterly shock rn)
This deserve WAYYY more view than it currently have right now.
This is just amazing. I have no words for how well executed this is.
You truly are really talented !
As an Appalachian, this is pretty on par with our folktales and honestly, good for the "witch" xP
(If you want more of our actual folk horror, you should check out the books "The Tell-tale Lilac Bush" and "Coffin Hollow," they're all from my state of West Virginia, which is the only state that's entirely within Appalachia! Also, it's "apple-at-cha" and I will die on this hill lol)
Tennessean here. While I've forcibly removed nigh-all of my south'ron accent, I still refuse to call it anyhting but "Apple-at'cha". Along with my love of sweet tea, mint juleps, and southern cooking, it's about all that I got left of that.
Y'all thank me for giving the 1st draft the Lyrics
Unmatched! i would suggest you to use small OLED screens for the mouth and that you paint around your lips with Musou black paint to give your mouth floating illusion.
You know I'm kinda stingy, but I'd actually pay to see this live. Maybe if you can somehow use do visual trick to make them look human sized
Just came back after the Q&A to watch this masterpiece again. Watched it with my girlfriend in the dark for the first time and it really gave us chills.
I’m always happy to see your vids come up in my feed , I really enjoy all the puppets but especially your singing and playing.🙋🏼♀️
Yay! I get to see it again!!!
I wonder what when darkness knocks 2024 will be
You are such a master of your art but also comedy. Not even 45 seconds in and you've got me dying. Pun intended.
What were the changes or edits between this one and the original upload? 🤔
I thought this was a video game for the first minute then a tv show for 2 minutes then a blender project for 30 and after that i realized it was puppets
Does RUclips keep taking this down? This is I think the 3rd time this has been uploaded?
I finally saw the extra character that was mentioned in the behind the scenes of this video. If you slow down the video and pause during the scene where the boyfriend finds wet foot-prints, there's a glimpse of what I think maybe be ''the witch'', at 6:17 .
I just caught it
I JUST NOTICED IT, I thought it was grandpa’s corpse after the orange guy was push down the stairs at 6:11 OH ALSO THE WITCH IS AT THE END AT AROUND 7:20 with the lightning flash, someone noticed it 😁 OH I JUST NOTICED IT AT 6:17 DAYUM I COMPLETELY MISSED THIS!!!
I'm confused, why was this reuploaded?
This reminds me of The Magnus Archives a little bit, but much more musical
...didn't you upload this already? Did you take it down and re-upload?
0.40 can you make a turtorial on how to make the blue and orange puppets pls cus I want one
This is my new favorite video from your channel.and i have seen everything
These are not hand puppets they are alive little creatures I love how alive they look
This is an excellent story with incredible puppetry in display to convey it. I like how a lot of the horror in the tale is about the injustice of extremes; the boyfriend is protective and a good partner to his girlfriend, but as a man, he suffers the same fate as the cruel men that murdered the witch. It goes to show that the cycle of violence is driven by hyperbole.
Wasn't this released already? Im losing my mind XD
WOW!! Just.. wow!! This is amazing!!
Not gonna lie you should make puppets so people can buy them as merch
A jolly early Christmas Halloween jaunt.
How's the new Dab chick doing ?
I just saw that when the lighting strikes while the girlfriend has a knife, what looks to be a shadow or ghost of the widow about to posses her.
had to watch your making of, but now I saw her ;)
guys I think something's wrong with grandma
Your actually so talented man keep up the hard work
this is my favorite video on yt i've watched it so many time 5 out of 5 stars
We need a link to where you got the granny dall from. I want one.
¡¡¡This was insanely good, holly sh*t!!!
Omggggg another tale!!!!! Someone hire this man!!!!!!!!!! They are awesome!!!!!
The amount of effort you put into these tales!!!!!!
So, who's the real villain of this story? I don't know about you, but I think that the men, who did the lady in, and sent her to the underworld are at fault. They started this whole story, causing so many lives to end, just because they did not understand that she was helping in the end.
(Said to the tune of the song)
I'm not good at writing lyrics or matching them up, but I did my best
Your little creations bring me so much joy. Thank you!
that was... interesting. 😅
I feel like I just went on an epic journey
Give uš the stl filet for the bug
Yarny is that you??
