The Clockwork Children
The Clockwork Children (1954) is a chilling animated collaboration between Alfred Hitchcock and Edward Gorey, blending Gothic horror with psychological suspense in a tale of innocence replaced by machinery. Set in a decaying Austro-Hungarian orphanage, the film follows a governess who uncovers a conspiracy to replace real children with mechanical doubles. Combining Gorey’s unsettling visual style with Hitchcock’s mastery of tension, the film is remembered as the first true “animated Gothic thriller.” Though controversial upon release, it later achieved cult status, particularly in Cascadia, and remains a cornerstone of mid-century experimental cinema.

The Dollmaker’s Funeral
Released in 1960, The Dollmaker’s Funeral is the third and final film of The Mechanist’s Curse Trilogy, cementing Hitchcock and Gorey’s reputation as architects of animated Gothic terror. Set within a crumbling manor where mourners gather for a reclusive artisan’s funeral, the film transforms grief into grotesquerie as guests are absorbed into the dollmaker’s eerie collection. Herrmann’s mournful score and Gorey’s etching-like visuals intensify the atmosphere of dread, while subtle references to “The Engineer” suggest his unseen hand guiding the horrors. Long regarded as the trilogy’s most commercially successful entry, the film is remembered for its haunting exploration of death, memory, and legacy.
