San'thul was an intro for a fictitious show that exposes and explores the world of script. This episode was a special holiday show that exposed the cult of Santa Claus and the suggestion of an otherworldly aspect of his powers. My project was supposed to be related to projects my classmates were also doing concerning an exposé on cryptids and whatnot. For this I created a fake broadcasting company called "Up the Totem Pole". I had Gerard Dunning acting as a radio host reciting The Night Before Christmas.

The original idea revolved around the thought of Christmas and Santa being involved in the disappearance of children. The original idea had the Christmas/Eldritch totems sporadically placed around the room in display cases. This version also was going to feature a litany of newspaper clippings of all the missing children as well as the photographs of all the missing children hanging around the room that when lined up spelt out the title of the animation "San'thulu".
Each of these ideas returned in the final version of this piece in one way or another.
