During the long, dark winter months I decided with no prior skill or experience to make a stop motion short. As such, it’s devoid of great animation. But I hope it makes up for that in weirdness and mood.

This is terrific! The audio really sells it. Reminds me of Michael Granberry’s From Beyond. Really scary!
If you’re looking for critique, I would say be careful with camera angles and movements. Any time you cut, it should be motivated by the story. There are times, especially in the last section, where there’s not a good reason for a new angle.
Also, even if the character animation is done on twos or threes, camera moves look a lot smoother when done on ones.
As for character movement, I don’t mind it somewhat choppy. But something to work on for the future is convincing walk movements. You might not be doing “tie-downs” yet, so that’s worth investigating.
Keep up the good work!
