The Tall Grass

"The Tall Grass" is an episode of animated science fiction/horror tv show Love, Death & Robots. It is based on the short story of the same name by Joe R. Lansdale.
==Synopsis==
When a train breaks down in the middle of seemingly-endless fields, passenger Laird gets off to enjoy a quiet smoke. Hearing something moving in the tall grass, he wanders off to investigate and is attacked by deformed creatures from beneath the ground, narrowly making it back to the train just as it is pulling away.
As they are moving off, the railman explains to Laird that every so often the train breaks down, always in the same place, and that sometimes people wander off, never to be seen again. He believes that in some places, the barrier between worlds rubs thin, and that this allows creatures to come through from outside our own dimension.
==Characters==
*Laird, a train passenger.
*The Railman, an ageing rail worker.
==Behind the Mythos==
"The Tall Grass" was released on May 14, 2021, as the fifth episode, season 2 of the Netflix original series Love, Death & Robots.
The design of main character Laird clearly takes some inspiration from H. P. Lovecraft himself; also, the theme of the episode (that of monstrous creatures breaking through from another dimension) is very reminiscent of some of Lovecraft’s work.
