-->--Narrator

''GHOSTBLEED: The Bio Horror'' is a parody of [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation PS1]]-era SurvivalHorror games, particularly ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1'', by Creator/HarryPartridge that was released December 11, 2022. It combines FMV-style green-screened live-action footage, [=PS1=]-style 3D animation courtesy of Hoolopee, and limited 2D animation.

** The splatter sound on the main menu screen is a dead ringer for the same sound effect in ''The Ring: Terror's Realm''.

* CreepyChild: [[spoiler:Rita Slider]], who crafts ghosts out of human skin with the help of an ancient voice from the beyond.

* SailorFuku: The school uniforms the schoolgirls and Rita wear are styled after typical Japanese sailor-style school uniforms.

* ShouldersOfDoom: All of the cops have massive pauldrons for their outfits.

* PersonalityBloodTypes: Parodied. Rick Slider's is "USA+", Naomi Blaze's is "[[BoobsOfSteel DD]]", and Ernstwaffen Krieghauser's is "Red."

49 teams of police officers have gone missing in the N Obelisk, a combination family entertainment destination and Hell Gate research facility. Now the last three police officers in the tri-state area must enter and see if it's only because the police didn't want to leave, or if no one living was left to leave... ''alive''.

''GHOSTBLEED: The Bio Horror'' is a parody of [=PS1=]-era survival horror games, particularly [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil Resident Evil]], by [[Creator/HarryPartridge Harry Partridge]] released December 11, 2022. It combines FMV-style green screened live action footage, [=PS1=]-style 3D animation courtesy Hoolopee, and limited 2D animation.

* AffectionateParody: Of old SurvivalHorror video games, predominantly ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'', using a [[{{Retraux}} low-poly presentation]] reminiscent of the first two games, with stiff dialogue and vocal performance, and is meant to resemble gameplay from them, with Rick Slider at one point running in place near a wall as he slowly veers right after collecting some chicken, reminiscent of the tank controls of those games.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: Just before the end credits roll, [[spoiler:after Naomi's narration claims that "Rick is in a better place now", he is revealed to have survived the Hell Gate's destruction, though he is now stuck in Hell itself.]]

* BodyHorror: "Ghosts" are made from human skin. Also Officer Rodriguez is still alive despite losing his limbs and a significant portion of his torso.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Rick [[spoiler: sees his daughter Rita stabbing a chained up Krieghauser to death in front of the Hell Gate and leaps to the conclusion that this means Krieghauser must be the ultimate villain.]]

* EasilyForgiven: Naomi [[spoiler: narrates that Rita is "innocent once again" despite Rita murdering their partner Krieghauser right in front of Naomi and Rick a few minutes ago with no acts of redemption, and almost certainly did it to other people, said murders commited for the purpose of "proving everybody wrong." Seemingly Naomi reaches that conclusion for no other reason than Rita looks cute while asleep.]]

* {{Expy}}: Rick, Naomi and Krieghauser are parodies of the original [=RE1's=] versions of Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Albert Wesker.
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: Rita]]'s decision to become a murderous necromancer is motivated by the fact she was bullied by scientists for believing in ghosts (to the extent she claimed to date one who went to another school) and that her mother died.

* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler: Ernstwaffen Krieghauser]] is so obviously being suspicious that he seems like he's going to be a parody twist villain. [[spoiler: Instead it turns out he was using the Hell Gate to try and stop actual twist villain Rita's evil plan of creating ghosts from human skin, though he ultimately failed as he ended up being sacrificed to the gate by her]].

* IdiotHero: Naomi and Rick. Krieghauser maybe to a lesser degree [[spoiler: though calling on the forces of Hell to stop a reanimation scheme by a murderous child is pretty dumb.]]
* ImplausibleDeniability: Krieghauser tries to discreetly brush off the monster that he, Naomi, and Rick encounter outside the N-Obelisk as just a RedHerring that is unrelated to their investigation. Never mind the fact that it's encountered in the vicinity of a dead state trooper that it almost certainly killed, or the fact that the N Obelisk turns out to be swarming with these ghost monsters.
* ImprobableInfantSurvival: Surprisingly for all the video's BlackComedy, there are no confirmed dead children. The three featured schoolgirls and [[spoiler: Rita]] all survive, despite being left to their own devices in a dangerous building at the mercy of deadly ghosts.

** [[spoiler: Rita creates ghosts out of human skin to prove ghosts and the afterlife are real, even though she goes to school at a building with a Hell Gate research facility. Her father]] Rick lampshades how crazy of an idea that is, but she justifies it saying that [[spoiler:she got it from "an ancient voice speaking to [her] from the beyond".]]

* {{Intangibility}}: Averted for the ghosts. Naomi points out how [[spoiler: Rita]]'s "ghosts" suck as ghosts because they can't phase through walls and are vulnerable to physical weapons.

* PoliceAreUseless: Parodied. Hundreds of police officers are sent into the N-Obelisk, with only [[spoiler: one who survives at all, and the most she does is rescue the villain. It's implied many of them were killed by a single schoolgirl with no more elaborate weapons than a ceremonial knife.]]
* {{Retraux}}: This short is presented as if it were a [=PS1=] horror game from the 1990's, and as such, the short goes to great lengths to emulate that look. Not only is it done almost entirely in low-poly, [=PS1=]-style 3D animation with low resolution textures, intentionally low framerates, and even the [=PS1=]'s jittery Z-buffer being taken into account, but it also begins and ends with live action cutscenes, not unlike ''Resident Evil'', which are also rendered with an intentionally low color palette and frame rate to simulate how FMV cutscenes looked on the console. The short even has loading screens in-between certain scenes where the sound of a [=PS1=] disc being read can be heard.
* SameLanguageDub: Naomi is played during the live action segments by Atlantis Deep but voiced by animator Joyce Oder, while David Post plays live action Krieghauser but is dubbed by Anthony Ingruber.

* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Rita is always seen wearing her school uniform, even as she's [[spoiler:sacrificing Krieghauser to the Hell Gate.]]

* TooDumbToLive: There's no reason given for why [[spoiler: Rick stays behind while the Hell Gate is about to explode, as lampshaded by the fact Naomi and his daughter Rita linger for one last joke and a final, overly-long laugh when they should be fleeing]].

** The Vibrolink communication screens are parodies of [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Metal Gear Solid]].

* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler:Just before the end credits roll, after Naomi's narration claims that "Rick is in a better place now", he is revealed to have survived the Hell Gate's destruction, though he is now stuck in Hell itself.]]

* CreepyRedHerring: Krieghauser tries to discreetly brush off the monster that he, Naomi, and Rick encounter outside the N-Obelisk as one of these. [[spoiler: Not only is that correct, but subsequent teases that he's the villain also count as such.]]

* InsaneTrollLogic: [[spoiler: Rita creates ghosts out of human skin to prove ghosts and the afterlife are real, even though she goes to school at a building with a Hell Gate research facility. Her father Rick lampshades how crazy of an idea that is, but she justifies it saying that she got it from "an ancient voice speaking to [her] from the beyond".]]

* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: [[spoiler:Rita is always seen wearing her school uniform, even as she's sacrificing Krieghauser to the Hell Gate.]]

* ShoutOut: The Vibrolink communication screens are parodies of [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Metal Gear Solid]].

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The three schoolgirls apparently don't notice their teacher is a ghost until after Rick points it out.

* SailorFuku: The school uniforms the schoolgirls and Rita wear are styled after Japanese school uniforms.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: As the characters approach the N-Obelisk at the beginning, they're menaced by a monster of some kind. The monster has no established connection to the main plot and is never mentioned again. During its attack Krieghauser theorizes that it could just be a "red herring, unrelated to [their] mission".

* AffectionateParody: Of old SurvivalHorror video games, predominantly ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'', using a [[{{Retraux}} low-poly presentation]] reminiscent of the first two games, stiff dialogue and vocal performance, and largely presented as looking similar to gameplay from those games, with Rick Slider at one point running in place near a wall as he slowly veers right after collecting some chicken, reminiscent of the tank controls of those games.

* UglyAmericanStereotype: Rick Slider is the kind of macho soldier who lights cigarettes with his pistol and interrogates children at gunpoint.

* {{Eagleland}}: Parodied. The N-Obelisk is so capitalistic that it's a combination family entertainment destination with a school dedicated to it and a Hell Gate research facility, but it was built in the "All-American Tanuki Prefecture", which is a parody of the [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil Resident Evil]] setting "Raccoon City."

* InsaneTrollLogic: [[spoiler: Rita]] creates ghosts out of human skin to prove ghosts and the afterlife are real, even though she goes to school at a building with a Hell Gate research facility. Her father Rick lampshades how crazy of an idea that is, but she justifies it saying that she got the idea from "an ancient voice speaking to [her] from beyond".

* PoliceAreUseless: Parodied. Hundreds of police officers are sent into the N-Obelisk, with only [[spoiler: one who survives at all, and the most she does is rescue the villain. It's implied many of them are killed by a single schoolgirl with no more elaborate weapons than a ceremonial knife.]]

* HighPressureBlood: When Rick[[spoiler: shoots the first ghost]], it sprays quite a lot of blood for a floating creature about half the size of an adult human, and keeps bleeding a fountain of blood for most of the next scene. Perhaps this is the "ghost bleed" of the title.

* ChildrenAreInnocent: The schoolgirls Rick rescues are so unsuspecting that they don't realize that their teacher is a ghost until it's pointed out to them, even though they saw it tear into a corpse. [[spoiler: Naomi also insists at the end that Rita is innocent, even though she's the unrepentant villain and still has Ernstwaffen Krieghauser's literal blood all over her.]]
