“I create funny animations and videos. Usually they are all about explosions and all kinds of madness,” Patiffonka explains over on his Patreon page, and that’s a pretty perfect introduction for the latest video he released this week. For good reason, it’s gone viral.
In the 13-second short, which currently has 1.1 million views from @Patiffonka‘s tweet alone – plus 3 million additional views thanks to a tweet from @Lumrunner that brought the video to our attention this afternoon – a man’s umbrella takes on a life of its own in what looks to be a subway station, turning into a spider-like monster and going on a rampage.
The short video, which has quickly amassed well over 100,000 re-tweets, is completely without sound or explanation, and honestly, it’s much creepier as a result.
Check out the video below, along with a making-of tweet underneath!
