Cyriak's Surreal 3D Skeleton Dance Video for Halloween
British animator Cyriak released a new video titled RIP on October 30, 2018, for Halloween. The 3D animation features a macabre dance of skeletons, paying homage to Walt Disney's 1929 Skeleton Dance. Cyriak, known for his grotesque and surreal aesthetic since the early 2000s on platforms like B3ta.com, fills the video with dark humor and British cultural references, including bowler hats, punk hairstyles made of bones, and nods to Damien Hirst's video for Blur's Country House. The skeletons party in a cathedral-like discotheque made of bones and skulls, then return to their mundane afterlife routines. The video critiques British customs and fetiches.
