Man just ate a heart without question
He was hungry
@Ethan Erpelding he at a random thing he pulled out of the wall it was probably diseased
@@norminator4563 Starvation will drive you.
@@asimghaffar8148 would you eat a dead animal that wass rotting for weeks if you were starving.
@@norminator4563Possibly...
the fact that this man found a heart in a wall in an abandoned building and decided to eat it scares me more than that ghost
Probably thought it was a potato
@@cheese2937 then he should at least have realised after he began eating?
That's tuesday in the Balkans.
To be fair it didn't really look like a heart at first. More long a weird potato.
yeah thats scary
Poor guy. He didn’t seem to have any malicious intent, he just wanted somewhere to stay so he wouldn’t freeze to death.
This is all because some dude was hungry, so the ghost just wanted her heart back. She ran after him, just to get a new heart. Wanna add something else?
GREARY I would also like to add that your mother is a grown man.
@@kykise1395 relax😂🤣
and have some food to eat
Chuckles The Clown I was crying 😂
Here’s a tip: if something comes out of the walls... eat it
From the gods oh my lord.
Okay, Simon Belmont.
*YOU ATE MY HEART!!!!!*
Or better yet, DON'T!
Castlevania isn’t to be trusted, my brother
Dude really grabbed a heart and went "ayy my favorite snack lmao" 💀
Potato
Nah, i think he didnt notice/realize it was a heart and thought it was a potato + he was hungry
I did not expect her to talk. Completely caught me off guard added to the horror. Also, I don't know how you produce your sounds but they're downright disturbing and help to bring the story to life. Great job.
No, talking makes it less scary.
It kinda got me because how much im used to his silent videos
@@unclegarfunkel8688 Facts
You must be a child. Talking makes it less scary
@@DUES_EX More like your the Child. This Animation scare this person in the first place because we expected it not to speak. Is been a while we haven't seen the main thread speaking. If you didn't find it scary good for you but that doesn't mean everyone must react the same way like you.
anyone feel a Silent Hill-esqe vibe from this? from the abandoned bldg, to the creepy artifacts, and weird 'wall heart'? AWESOME DAVID!
I’m two years late but the moment he reached in the wall it reminded me of silent hill 2
@@Baron_Humbert_von_Gikkingen more like the silent hill 4 the room tho, specially the hole
Apartment looked exactly like one from Silent Hill 2, even had the same reaching into the hole thing.
Not in the slightest

Reminds me of one of those really creepy book stories. Man walked by a butchery store window and saw a liver for sale. Dude loved liver, so he bought it and had his wife cook it up for him. After he ate it, a ghost appears and asks where her liver is. The wife just points at her husband and rats him out. The story ends after he screams in terror.
Tere was a nice short movie based on it, too
@@zuzannab8119 Yeah, I liked it.
I remember that story! I believe it was in one of the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books!
@@Damodred_Heiress YES
@@Damodred_HeiressCalled “Just Delicious”
Great short film. I didn't realise at first that the backgrounds were actual sets, but it add a whole extra layer or creepy. Very nice touch.
yeah, i noticed that the wallpaper was a paper towel. doesn't make it low quality, just distracted me
I disagree, the light being disconnected from it's source really ruined my immersion
@@darkvoid5978 The light isn't even that disconnected from the source. Plus, matching animation with live action can be really difficult.
If you look closely in the room that he sleeps in the wall is made.out of a paper towel
I always felt bad about the homeless man..i wanted him to get out alive
Udarnats I agree I was hoping he would survive he didn’t seem bad just starving
Same
Same
Who eats a heart they pull out a wall tho
@@sebastianlee6260 looked like a potato too me ngl
Dang he stuffed that heart in his mouth, he must've been starving 😂
He didn't even use the fork
my humor is to dark I cant 💀💀💀💀
He dint even want a side or any bread. 😕
@@Sungodess888
He didn't have anything else to eat there, he already looked.
My dude really just ate a wall heart, he must've been starving
Tbh it didn't really look like a heart, more like a patty of some sort
He thought it was a potato
@@Samuel-zt1my *_...Look like a what now?_*
You should get way more credit then you get. The Other Lilly was amazing. This one was amazing. Everything you do, all of your work, it's all amazing. Keep doing your work, we love you and your so so much. Thank you for not allowing me to ever sleep *cough* *cough* I mean for giving something cool to do and to creep out my friends! We all love you, David!
AAAAAHHH!!! Thank you so much!! ^//////^ I'm planning on making more shorts in the future (and maybe opening up a patreon... we'll see).
shes right man ure awesome u should be number one short horror maker i dont know what the fuck is wrong with people
Lol hi 2 years later we love ur art and work
@@cinemamind hi
Where r u
This is my favorite horror animation from you! The main character is tragic because all he wants is something to eat and then the realization/consequence of eating what he ate is creepy!
Hope more people take notice of your animation! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I think the ghost wouldn't have appeared if the man hadn't eaten its heart. Do you think the ghost also felt creepy when he saw the man eating it heart?:))))
3:43 Damn, that spectrussy be crazy
How could you say something so controversial yet so based?
What a video! Poor guy didn't even question why meat would be in the wall or that the gas still works, he was just starving. Absolutely LOVE this animation style with 3d models. Jump scare was spot on too!
I have an abandoned building complex in my area where the gas wasn't turned off. It's the countryside, so it's not full of hobos regardless. Sometimes utilities are "forgotten".
Thank you for replying! I had no idea, it actually made sense in the video then
There are two types of protagonists in David Homero's videos. There's that woman at pleasant inn who has common sense, and there's this man... who thought eating something unidentified that fell down a bizarre hole in an abandoned house is somehow a good idea
And the one with a shotgun who fought off against the pine devil.
Tbf this guy is a homeless man, probably so desperate to eat something he doesn't question what it was.
I just realized he uses an actual setup for the flashlight shots and it is barely noticeable. God damn do i appreciate your work.
Ikrrr!!
What's more scarier is , in the last he tried to run to the exit, just imagine being so close to that exit and not able to get through it .
You're right, made my heart drop a little📈📈
Dude puts his hand in a mystery hole
takes out a heart
AND EATS IT !
What ?
This scared the shit out of me. I've been desensitized to horror but the moment see says "give me my heart" and screamed it just scared me. Thanks David for keeping e up at night you rule
Her off-kilter movement as she rampages down the hallway did it for me. Brilliant work.
3:58
"GiVe Me BaCk My HeArT!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Guess you can say that was HEARTLESS of him to do that xD
oh my..
👏👏👏
_Give me back_ myyyYY *LIIIIIKE!!!*
the way you combine 3d and 2d for that animation was so cool the background being a set and using a real light for the animated flashlight was really cool.
Just discovered this and well done. And I really enjoy the animation style on this one and Pine devil.
That being said :
2:51 I knew it was a bad idea.
3:51 you got me.
Dude cant even eat a potato without being chased by a demon.
So like homeless or not (and I've been homeless) I'm not about to eat random wall meat I find in an abandoned house. Sick stylistic art and Noice character design! A++ to the animator
1:15 I'd have noped out of there so quick ! fantastic animation, and SFX. simply amazing
The fact that she waited for him to return to that hole after eating her heart 💀
I choose the believe the video just ends at 3:20 and this is just a cute small story of an unfortunate fellow who is trying to find somewhere warm to stay and some food, nothing happens past that
Oh gob! I remember watching this while I was younger! I cant remember what happened but I immediately got a rush of nostalgia upon seeing the thumbnail.
Thank you UA-cam!!
I treminds me alot of the toe story form scary stories to tell in the dark
big larry, true. “from 2 years later” :)
That's what I was thinking except here eating the heart makes sense.
@@chimpwimp9407 same 11 months later
Dude the drawing here is perfect 4:05
I remember a teacher showed me and my class this back in my elementary school, truly terrifying experience at the time, and watching it now just make me wondered “Huh? It was more different when i first watched it”
Goated teacher
I love the fake out in this. It's hinted that the doll is the scary thing in this. it would be less scary then what actually happened
Look I'm late but seriously how does the stove still work in 3:07?
Maybe it was connected to a gas tank.
@@georgeofhamilton how would the gas still be on
@@spitzune3925 The gas tank and the stove could've still been connected even though the building was abandoned.
This saddened me more than it scared me tbh
this man *really* knows how to make the impression im not safe from any direction. the doll, the weird noise, basically the entire house he goes into is unsafe.
edit: he was smiling so big when he found the kindney/heart. that made me very disturbed.
The fact that he got ready to cut the heart but then scarfed the wole thing got me dead
3:01
Homeless man: Eyeeeh potatoe!
Me: NO PUT IT BACK NOW!!
3:28 Doll: Oh you done fucked up! 0_0"
I love your animation style, how did you do it? it flows so well together. I have my own ideas I'd like to animate, what software did you use, or do you have a better way of animating? Anyway I think you are a brilliant animater, I hope I can become as good as you one day.
Hes just good
Even the doll was like ," yo wtf you were supposed to be scared not eat that shit.."
Im not sure why but when he found the heart and smile it just made me adore him so much

Man just ate a heart without any over thinking.Thank God we think before every action.well a good recommendation after 7 years
Ah, I remember watching this when it was new. Your animations have a nice, memorable cozy aesthetic.
Perfect
Right amount of horror with a little bit of gore.
Perfect.
This Ariel view & perspective is insane. This whole scene looks like a video game. Truly phenomenal.
Creepy! This short leaves much to the imagination in a good way 👏🏻
GIVE ME BACK MY HEEEEEAAAARTTTTTT (Giga chad music starts playing)
This is fantastic, please keep up the good work! You deserve so much more attention for this
You're just too good at this stuff! You deserve a lot more support!
I understand he was starving, but if I just pulled a heart out of a wall I’d be asking questions…
Just another day in the Balkans, lol.
I felt so bad for him
It's stuff like this that makes me love horror it actually made me jump and kept me invested the entire time really good work.
3:15 knives are overrated eh?
Man. So many classics. I thought i never saw this anination, but when i started watching memories came flooding back.
Finding this animation now much later in life feels extremely strange as I have pretty vivid memories of stumbling upon this as a little kid and being absolutely terrified by it and yet incredibly interested in it at the same time.
The first Gothic element in Midnight Snack is the bad weather. In the video, the literal blizzard taking place leads a homeless man to seek shelter. The second Gothic element in Midnight Snack is the 'castle' element so to speak. The building itself isn't a castle, but its dilapidated and abandoned, and I assume Slender Woman is the 'king' of the place. Seeing shelter, the homeless man easily breaks in and begins walking around the place, checking for unlocked apartment doors and looking for a place to sleep. Which brings me to the third element: the supernatural. There are three main instances of this theme occurring. The first is when the homeless man enters the unlocked apartment and shines his flashlight around the room. A doll that looks like it has syphilis coupled with late stage brain cancer seems to teleport around the room between exposures to the flashlight. This is just a hypothesis, but I'm guessing the doll was a messenger for Slender Woman? Anyway, back on track. The teleporting doll has almost no purpose in the whole film, but it does set a creepy and unsettling atmosphere for the video. The second instance of the supernatural occurring was when the homeless man -I'm going to call him Jim from now on for brevity's sake- was sleeping on the couch after his unsuccessful attempts at finding sustenance. Jim is woken up by some sort of slithering noise coming from a hole in the wall, and when he reaches inside, his hand comes out with an article of protein, presumably some sort of organ. Now, I identify this as a usage of the 'supernatural' theme because the food in the fridge was rotten and there was no food anywhere else in the apartment. Why would a piece of perishable, fresh meat come from a crusty hole in the wall? The video uses this instance of supernatural to further the sense of mystery and creepiness already thickly shrouded around it. Later, Jim is roused by the same slithering noise that woke him earlier. When he looks into the cavity, Jim sees some sort of bloody, fleshy socket. Moments later, an eight foot tall female version of Slender Man reveals herself by crawling out of a hole as wide as the diameter of a normal person's arm. The two sentences above are my third and last example of the supernatural. I think this one is pretty self explanatory. The purpose of revealing a less attractive version of Slender Man was to climax the video and begin the falling action. When Slender Woman pops out of the wall screaming "GIVE ME BACK MY HEART!!", Jim is terrified. In addition, Slender Woman is mad as a bull. This brings my fourth gothic theme, 'extreme emotion', to the table. The purpose of this theme was to slather on a healthy helping of drama and tension to the remaining part of the video. Understandably, Jim makes a run for it. A nightmare inducing chase follows, with Jim panting along and Slender Woman crawling (with awful sound effects) and gaining ground. Finally! The doorway out is in sight! It looks as if Jim is going to escape after all when Alas! he trips on the door he busted in earlier and falls through the floor. Desperately scrabbling the doorframe in vain attempts to escape, a pale, slimy hand pulls poor Jim under into the abyss. Then come a series of interesting sound effects, with the video viewer seeing only blackness. A short time after Jim stops screaming, Slender Woman holds the flashlight up to her body, revealing a new scarlet heart beating afresh where there used to be a hole. The last Gothic theme I was able to identify in this rollercoaster of a video was the 'violence' trait. Slender Woman pulling Jim down into a hole and ripping out his heart classifies as violence in my opinion. The purpose of this was to bring an effective ending to the video, as well as giving the viewer some serious nightmares.
Actually it wasn’t just a slithering sound at the beginning but also the sound of a beating heart. The organ he pulled out and ate was actually the heart of the ghost woman note how she says “give me back my heart!” Also after he ate the heart notice how the doll’s eyes were opened.
Use spacing my guy. Format it to be readable, cause no one will read a wall of text.
whatever you say bro
Boring
Bro just wrote down what the vid was
God, this animation is damn good! Your work is awesome, David!
i love the part were the monster said "give me back my HEART!!!!!!".
I remember watching this with my uncle who loved showing me horror and recently we watched it and it was nostalgia all over again
So you're telling me he just ate a literal heart that came from a seemingly suspicious "hole" in the wall?
man i wanted him to live, no one deserves to be homeless
this is amazing, and the fact that the background is like a whole set that they made irl?(or so I think based on looks) adds to the story a LOT and is beautiful.
I also love that the apartment wallpaper is toilet paper, really creative.
Ill be honest i kind had some hints that the thing he ate was a heart before the lady appeared. The guy woke up to hear a sound similar to a beating heart and by the time he pulled out the 'potato' from the wall the beating stopped, honestly those hints are quite clever
I remember seeing this and it was really well made...I love this

The scariest thing about David Romero is that his the characters in his stories are realistic. They think like normal people
Thats why the heart was gray
This monster stays until someone gets his/hers heart and after get them heart and do this over and over
This whole thing is animated on a paper towel. ⭐️amazing⭐️
I absolutely love your sound design... GREAT STUFF!!
and heart design too
My sympathy is diminished somewhat by the fact he pulled a heart out the wall and ate it. Like, son, you don't know where that's been or how long it was there for. Times are tough but honestly, that's asking for trouble.
Excellent stuff, mind.
I love this style so cool to see.
the set to be used to show how open a space is
Super cute! I’m a huge fan of horror films and I absolutely loved the way you put this together! More please!!!!
Love the use of mixed media!
Can we just appreciate the level of detail put into the room with the doll and family portrait?
I mean using the paper towel for a rough scale at 1:48, you can see that this picture is tiny. Can’t imagine drawing something so small. Let alone picture frame corners that look so perfect and real.
All the practical effects make me wonder if this entire film is claymation while the man is just a card cut out in the right shape with the person drawn on.
(The practical effects I’m just now noticing after like 3 views)
4:04 in one hand it's all fully animated, the light too. On the other, he sculpts the house irl, and drags a flashlight above, and added the animated characters in
DUDE! This was sick! The whole animation is fantastic. Congrats!
That city looking like Stalingrad in 1900
Some of these comments are about why he didn’t even ask himself to eat somthing without doubt, but when ur so hungry it’s challenging to think about somthing you wanted for a very long time.. being homeless sucks😔😔😔
“GIVE ME BACK MY HEEEEEAAAARRT!!!” 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yeah, I’m all for suspense of disbelief but, eating a heart you just dug out of a wall in a grotesque apartment is really pushing it!
You'd be shocked what people eat when they're starving...
Bro, people be eating full on humans when they could go to a macdonald's for 1$ 💀
I love the use of 3D props and the fact you used an actual flashlights light for the guys flashlight. This looked really cool!
