Stop-motion puppet animation, 12fps, Steve Burton claymation style, handcrafted aesthetic, frame-by-frame jerky movement, visible clay textures and wool fibers, color palette cold blue and deep shadow with small warm accent from bare ceiling bulb, 1990s Soviet apartment CORRIDOR. NO GHOSTS, NO ORBS, NO SPECTRAL HANDS. ONLY THE DOOR, THE COFFIN ON WHEELS, AND THE GIRL. CAMERA: the camera is in the corridor, facing the entrance door. As the girl runs into frame, the camera performs a slight whip pan to catch her movement, then steadies on the door. The camera then begins a slow, smooth tracking backward — pulling away from the door by approximately 8cm over the remaining seconds, as if retreating from the horror. No shake, no handheld, no micro-jitter. CORRIDOR: Narrow hallway with SAME textured wallpaper and SAME linoleum as living room — visual continuity. Left wall: dark wooden coat rack with brass hooks — beige trench coat, dark blue wool coat, small red child's jacket with fur-trimmed hood hanging. Below: small wooden shoe rack with shoes. Right wall: wall-mounted beige rotary bakelite telephone — receiver ON HOOK. Framed folk embroidery above phone, slightly crooked. Far end: ENTRANCE DOOR — white painted wood, yellowed with age, brass peephole, brass door chain, solid brass handle. Dark brown leatherette-upholstered inner panel with vertical stitched lines. The door is currently CLOSED. Overhead: bare bulb in frosted glass shade, dim warm light. GIRL: EXACT SAME as all previous scenes — warm beige skin with rosy flush, hazel-brown glass eyes (wide with pure terror, pupils contracted to pinpoints), brown bob with straight bangs (disheveled, red barrette hanging loose by a few strands, about to fall), NO white streak, burgundy cable-knit sweater (bunched from running), white blouse collar (askew), navy blue pleated skirt (twisted), cream knitted tights (no holes, no runs), ONE dark blue felted slipper on left foot, RIGHT FOOT bare in cream tight — the other slipper lost during the run, chipped pale pink nail polish. ACTION — FIRST 1.5 SECONDS: Girl runs into the corridor from the living room doorway — enters in 3 frantic stop-motion steps. She SLAMS her body against the entrance door. She presses her full weight against it — her shoulder and both palms flat on the dark brown leatherette panel. Her head is turned, looking back over her shoulder toward the door. Her breath is visible as quick, jerky heaves of her shoulders. ACTION — NEXT 2.
