Living from March 24, 1901 to July 7, 197 Ub Iwerks was a very dedicated animator. He designed characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Peg Leg Pete, and was insistent on doing the most animation for the early Disney shorts. One of his animation signatures would be the iconic rhythmic bouncing motion.

Iwerk’s animation is a mix of scary combined with goofiness. The main shock factor in Skeleton dance would most likely be the quick close up motions. (4:05 1:43)
He works in the ruberhose style, and ocasisonaly breaks it with E X T R E M L E Y choppy and quick motions that can be off putting. Who needs in-betweens?

I’d say my favorite horror themed animation would be the ‘Spider Within’

Do I need to describe Spiderverse Animation to a group of animators? No I won’t. The short itself lets us into the mind of Miles as everything seems off-putting. The atmosphere remains dark throughout the film, with some quick scares and mildly surreal moments.
