I've seen the storyboard as well as finished parts for this project float around for a while and was quite intrigued with the concept.
Personally, I'm not a fan of Evil!Brambleclaw AUs but still thought it was an effective horror storyline nonetheless, in this case.
The concept (from the video description):
The AU itself is pretty straightforward: Brambleclaw listens to Hawkfrost and goes on a murderous rampage
But the creative execution (no pun intended) of it, with each murder victim being shown to kill prey shortly before getting murdered by Brambleclaw, and then haunting him as ghosts while holding that prey, is still just a pretty cool idea to showcase the violence and also Brambleclaw's own mindset here.
Not very Christmasy or fitting for the holiday season (much rather Halloween) though but oh well lol...

It's pretty well-done from an artistic standpoint and I appreciate its commitment to the bit of being an artsy slasher in effect. The ghosts of his victims haunting him and eventually Hawkfrost's pet attack dog biting the hand that feeds was also very fun.
I don't get the ending bit though, with Cloudtail and Leafpool recovering Squirrelflight's body. Is this meant to be a sequel hook? It must be, since it doesn't really tie in well to the themes of the rest of the story.

I caught the premiere for this one! It's so well put together. It almost makes me jealous. The post-credits, by showing Squilf alive, implied that the ghosts were in Bramble's mind, which recontextualizes everything. The ghosts aren't actually haunting him, but the guilt is. It could just be sequel bait, but it's still a cool twist in a world where the ghosts definitely could've been real.

I suppose it could have that purpose, but it does seem unnecessary if that's the idea. It would feel to me kind of like if Mapleshade's Vengeance ended similarly with definitive proof that she was imagining her kits rather than just letting the audience make the judgement call that she probably did.
