Nosferatu's Wake: A Gothic Sci-Fi Horror Cartoon (Episode 1)
Something is eating the ship’s shields, and the captain has exactly one bad idea left. Nosferatu’s Wake is a gothic sci-fi horror cartoon that plays like a lost episode from a 1970s Saturday-morning block — if that block had teeth.
What Happens in Nosferatu’s Wake
The bridge crew watches their defenses disappear one layer at a time. Whatever is out there does not fire, does not hail, and does not stop. So the captain does what captains in these stories always do: she reaches for a protocol nobody wants to hear read aloud.
Protocol Seven is not a weapon. It is an order, and the crew’s faces tell you everything about what it costs. The short keeps its monster mostly off-screen, leaning on the hum of the ship, the red wash of the alert lights, and the feeling that the thing outside is patient.
