In The Realm Of The King In Yellow

This is my own interpretation of Robert W. Chambers short story collection "The King In Yellow" from 1895. It is heavily influenced by story and art of H.P. Lovecraft, the pen and paper Call of Cthulhu by Chaosium Inc and the Arkham Horror board and card game franchise by Fantasy Flight Games.
The original mythos goes as follows: There is a cursed theater play called "The King In Yellow". Everybody reading the play starts decending into madness. The reader gets visions of Hastur (The King In Yellow), the lake Hali and Carcosa (the damned city). The blessed reader also receives visions of The Yellow Sign. Those seeing it are chosen to preapre the kings decent onto our planet.
My video is based on those stories. It's a fanfiction. I'm well aware that this is extremly niche. However I hope that I can reach many fans of the original stories and I had a lot of fun creating this video and craming in as many references as possible. This is packed on with messages and easter eggs. I still believe this is an enjoyable horror video to people not knowing of the original mythos and maybe I can inspire some people to read the stories. I can especially recommend "The King In Yellow" by Robert W. Chambers and the Cthulhu Mythos by H.P. Lovecraft.

Technical note:
Most storytelling is done by mixing the main anime "Mahō Tsukai no Yome" with "Shoujo Kakumei Utena: Adolescence Mokushiroku". There are some support scenes from other anime as well. Additional material ranges from original 3D, original book cover art, fan art and supportive stock videos. Most scenes are done with compositions in After Affects. Adobe's brand new Photoshop neural filters, machine learning and AI effects played a huge role in pulling that video off.

This is a custom extended version of the song. It is lengthed with Adobe Premiere Pro Beta's latest remix tools in Essential Sounds. The crackling in the music is itential by the musical artist and is no encoding error.

This video placed 9th at TOS Contest 2021 storytelling and 6th at the creativity category. Which makes me quiet proud of it!
