Vampire Skunk (Movie)

***Vampire Skunk*** (*not to be confused with Aningar's eponymous title*) is an animated feature film created by Cody Priddy, otherwise known as AssortedPopcorn on YouTube.

## Plot

### \*Spoilers Ahead: You have been warned!\*

Cyan (*later renamed simply to "**Blue Thing**"*) is a blue dog wandering the local cemetery when he is approached by the titular, Aningar Skunkillius III, better known as the Vampire Skunk who has decided to make Blue Thing his victim. Using his handy projector screen, Vampire Skunk exposits to him how vampires need blood for sustenance and how undead creatures do in fact exist. Afterwards, he makes quick work of Blue Thing, which would ordinarily result in his death. However, in a bizarre twist, Vampire Skunk chooses to spare his life, at the cost of making him a vampire as well. As this is transpiring, we see a Demonic Bovine making Vassal his newly acquired mind slave.

Aningar is then approached by Katz, whom refers to herself as Aningar's "mommy", much to his chagrin. It is revealed to the viewer that she is responsible for Aningar's initial vampirism as she expresses intrigue at his decision to convert Blue Thing rather than simply kill him. Aningar and Blue Thing then hail a cab back to his castle, as Vampire Skunk believes that Blue Thing is unable to return home to a normal life out of fear that his new bloodlust would result in him killing his own family. Initially, Blue Thing is freaked out over the prospect of having to live in Aningar's castle presumably for all eternity, but after being shown compassion and one brief apology later, he seems to adjust to this new way of living (*or rather, unliving*).

Through new formed kinship between him, Aningar, Demonic Bovine and Vassal, Blue Thing brings the film to a close through narration. The characters then proceed to bid us farewell, insisting that we may or may not meet again and thanking us for watching. We end on a shot of Katz regretting attending a party, all the while dissenting that she hopes to be the main character next time.

## History

On February 19th, 2015, AssortedPopcorn uploaded a video titled, "A Message From The Vampire Skunk". Curiously, this denotes the first appearance of the titular character, as well as any formal announcement about Vampire Skunk on the channel, predating the promo and trailer that would soon follow it.

Less than a week later on February 23rd, the first official sneak peek aptly named, "Vampire Skunk - Sneak Peek" was uploaded. It comprises of roughly the first two minutes of what would ultimately become the final product.

Skunk enthusiasts would be greeted a month later on April 25th with the first official trailer. Unsurprisingly, it's yet another short 2 minute video showcasing a few scenes from the movie, with occasional discretionary cutaway to Cody Priddy heating up pizza in the microwave or something along those lines.

May 31st, 2015, Armageddon. AssortedPopcorn uploaded his magnum opus, "Vampire Skunk" for all to enjoy.

## Potential Sequel

* AssortedPopcorn has flirted with the idea of a follow-up both in the comments section, on Twitter and even in his "Interview with the Vampire Skunk" video [*citation needed*].
* However, that video was released back in 2018. As of the time of this article, no such announcement has been made.
