Skeletons in the Closet is a fascinating piece of experimental animation from 1989. It plays with stop-motion techniques, all done in black and white 16mm film, which gives it this raw, gritty feel that you just don't see in more polished works. The pacing is erratic, almost disjointed, yet it complements the unsettling atmosphere perfectly. The lack of soundtrack heightens the visual experience; you're left with just the haunting imagery, which really gets under your skin. The use of a Bolex adds an interesting texture, and it's intriguing to see how they transferred it to video and DVD. It’s a unique artifact, reflecting a time when animation was still finding its voice in more avant-garde spaces.
