Is there any horror story related to 'animation fever'?

I'm not sure specifically as it could refer to many things. It might be about a horror story within the context of the animation industry, perhaps a story that causes a 'fever' or intense interest among animation fans due to its particularly terrifying or engaging plot.

Sure. One story could be about an animator who was working late during an 'animation fever' - a time when everyone in the studio was extremely busy. He started seeing strange glitches in his work that weren't there before. The characters he was animating seemed to move on their own, with a menacing look in their eyes. It was as if the very act of animating them so feverishly had awakened some sort of dark energy within the digital realm.

There's a horror story where a young fan of a particular animation has 'animation fever'. He gets his hands on a rare, supposedly cursed animation reel. When he plays it, the room becomes icy cold. The animated figures start to move in a distorted way and seem to reach out from the screen. The more he watches, the more he feels like he's being dragged into the animated world, a very spooky scenario.

Yes. 'Animation fever' implies an excessive passion or obsession. This can easily be the foundation for a horror story. For instance, an animator with 'animation fever' might become so obsessed with making the perfect animation that they lose touch with reality and start seeing their animated characters as real entities that demand sacrifices.

There might be some sort of malevolent force as a character. It could be a ghost, a demon, or some other supernatural entity. In many horror animations, these types of characters are used to create the horror element. For example, a shadowy figure that lurks in the background and causes all sorts of trouble for the other characters.

No, I haven't. It could be a relatively new or niche concept that I'm not familiar with yet.

The disturbing visuals might be one reason. In horror animations, often the way the characters are designed, with distorted features and strange postures, can send chills down your spine.

The blurring of reality and the animated world. When in 'animation fever', animators are so immersed that the line between what's real and what's animated can get very thin. In horror stories, this means the animated horrors could seem to seep into the real world, like a character reaching out from the screen.

One common element is the blurring of the line between the animated world and the real world. For example, characters from the animations might start to interact with the real - world characters in a menacing way.

Through the use of creepy sound effects.
