I don’t come from a tradition of celebrating Halloween… but I do like the idea of it (with its Celtic/Gaelic pagan origins). When I was a kid I, for a time, had a bit of an obsession with smurfs. I amassed quite a vast collection of these little blue critters (which is currently safely stored in an old biscuit tin somewhere in my Mum & Dad’s house because I can’t quite bring myself to give them the ‘all clear’ to get rid of ‘em). So when I recently received a gift of the three smurfs that appear in the below ‘animation’ I was pretty thrilled (in a nostalgic kind of way) – smurfy goodness and Halloween ghoulishness all rolled in to one!  

Here’s a very short (and seriously lo-fi!) Schlumpftastic stop-motion animation for those of you who do celebrate Halloween. Have a good one!
