One of the most badass animators we know currently working in the horror genre, Frank Sudol, has a new creation in the works - Gnome in the Haunted Castle - and we have your first look at some early concept artwork for the flick along with details on where you can get your hands on three of Frank's earlier works just in time for the holidays!

The Gnome in the Haunted Castle (working title) computer animated film will be a first for Sudol under FSudol Films and FSudol Art Video. Besides a standard 2D version, the action/adventure film is being produced in cutting edge 3D made for playback on current 3D HDTV's.

Synopsis:
Follow the last Gnome on earth on his epic quest to retrieve his stolen life gem and put a stop to the evil Pumpkin-man and his horde of zombies, werewolves, ghosts, skeleton-men, witches, bats, and monsters of all kinds, all while navigating the dangerous castle before he turns to solid stone like the rest of his kind.
