As Hodgson's characters and settings symbolized various elements of the man's demented psyche, Because of our limited resources, we further distilled it. The "green hand" in the pit, represented the arena and jade swine thing (fate). The Swine attacks are reduced to the one "smoke swine" (yes, it is a swine creature!) in the dungeon (life) of his own making. I, like you, want the whole book made faithfully and am starting on that now. Stay tuned to RightPurdy's channel, updates are coming...

Newer version is now in production. More faithful to the book and spirit of the book.

Great stuff! Reading the classic story now. Thanks!

Good to see and hear online. Well done Right Purdy!

10 years ago, we made this animation, now we're going to revisit it and see if we can't do it justice.... keep checking, as we get more done... The House on the Borderland teaser

Where are the swine things? Where's Pepper the dog? Where's the Plain of Silence with the arena of mountains? Where's the cosmic journey? It's not a matter of being 'slavish', but of being 'faithful'. If you don't want to bring in those things, don't call it 'The House on the Borderland'. Call it 'A Hodgson-Inspired Fantasy' or whatever.

The book reads like a guy having a bad acid trip

Thanks for bring this to us.

This has potential. Hope you do something more with it.... The original "House On The Borderland" is a great story by William H. "Pigeons from Hell" by Robert E. Howard would be another good short to do. If I had any skill with CGI I'd do one myself.

We did this some time ago (10 years?) when we were just starting out with cgi. Now with experience, we're going to revisit it. I don't necessarily agree that anyone has to be slavish to the original. I think we can bring something more to it. Not like this test, but actually get into Hodgeson's mind and delve deeper into the symbolism of his "true love", end of the universe and what the swine creatures could actually represent. Stay tuned, I'm planing on a release next spring.....

thanks!

I love this whole thing, can you put it together as one whole film?

Spooky-dooky.

Recommendation is a bitch for keeping this away from us.

Some nice animation, but anyone who has read this book will know that this is a fraud. Come on and make a movie following the book. Why this story has never been made into a film is beyond me, but as this clip shows, film makers never follow the novelist. This film maker might have the key, however, in his art. Scrap this test and start with the fishermen who stumble onto the ruins, find the manuscript and sit by the fire to read it. We need the swinethings, the old sister, the time travel.

Thanks for bring this to us.
