Jurassic Park Horror are a series of short animated videos, based on the Jurassic Park franchise. As the title says, the main premise is telling stories that takes place in the Jurassic Park universe, along with more emphasis on horror. The series is created by Ali Awada
.
The series can be found here.
Tropes that can be found are:
- Accidental Hero: The giant pterosaur unknowingly saves the farmer by swooping in and eating the last Velociraptor.
- An Arm and a Leg: The Allosaurus rips off one of the camper's legs.
- Animals Not to Scale: The Hypsilophodon in "Paddock Disturbance" are much larger than they should be, closer in size to Dryosaurus. On the other hand, Dilophosaurus are generally accurately-sized in the series, unlike their smaller film counterparts.
- Animal Stampede: In "Documenting the Wildlife of Isla Sorna", a Tyrannosaurus Rex hunted a herd of Maiasaura, resulting in them fleeing to where a worker was filming them.
- Ascended to Carnivorism: "Paddock Disturbance" ends with a flock of Hypsilophodon scavenging the body of a park worker who dies fleeing from them. Potentially justified since there's evidence that some ornithopods were opportunistically omnivorous.
- Book Ends: The beginning of "The Trespasser" has the farmer and his cattle marching through the Texas plains. The three-parter ends the same way, now with the Stegosaurus joining the group.
- Boom, Headshot!: The Farmer shoots one of the "Velociraptors" that entered his bedroom.
- Canon Foreigner: A number of creatures are introduced that were not in the movies, including Hypsilophodon, Plesiosaurus, Maiasaura, Titanoboa, and a huge pterosaur that may be Hatzegopteryx.
- Chekhov's Gunman: The Stegosaurus that wanders into the farm, protects the farmer from the Velociraptors.
- Decoy Antagonist: The giant pterosaur was the main antagonist in the first two parts of the "The Tresspasser", only to be sidelined a lot in the third part by the Velociraptors who became the true Big Bads of the shorts.
- Downer Ending: A majority of the videos ends with the main character being killed or devoured by the dinosaurs.
- The Dreaded: The Spinosaurus in "The River" is this to the main character as he's most wary of it than any other dinosaur, even the Tyrannosaurus.
- Dwindling Party: Part 1 of ''The Trespasser" has the farmer losing all but one of his cows to a giant pterosaur.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: A rarity in this series. The main character from "The River" is rescued and escapes Isla Sorna.
- Giant Flyer: "The Trespasser" features a pterosaur that dwarfs even the Quetzalcoatlus from the movies, which may be a Hatzegopteryx.
- Herbivores Are Friendly: Zig-Zagged. The herbivores tend to be portrayed as docile and friendly, but at the same time they can be just as dangerous as the carnivores.
- In "Paddock Disturbance", a group of Hypsilophodon foxii stalks and devours a worker.
- In "Body Cam Footage", a Triceratops fatally impales a worker.
- The Stegosaurus in "The Trespasser" is played straight. It not only befriended the Farmer and Bessie the Cow, it also protected them from predators.
- Foreshadowing: In Part 1 of "The Tresspasser", the farmer's radio talks about a Stegosaurus being sighted. In Part 2, the dinosaur appears at the farm.
- Mythology Gag:
- The Tyrannosaurus opting to chase after the worker rather than the meat he dropped for her was based on a line from Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park, where he explained that the Rex would rather hunted for their food than be provided for them.
- The worker being chased by the Hypsilophodon in tall foliage is based on the "Tall Grass" sequence from The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
- The premise of "Body Cam Footage" has the characters trying to find Ray Arnold, similar to what Ellie Sattler had done in Jurassic Park.
- "The Infant" episode is based on the beginning portions of the Jurassic Park novel.
- The Carnotaurus in "Hurricane Clarissa" uses a camouflage ability like its counterparts in The Lost World (1995) novel.
- The river sequences are based on the Spinosaurus's attacks in Jurassic Park III.
- The ending where the main character gets rescued by the helicopter is reminiscent of the prologue sequence from ''Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Thankfully, the rescuee lives.
- The last time a cow and Velociraptors were present together, things did not go well for the former. This was hinted at when the cow entered a field with tall grass, which the Raptors had used in another event.
- The farm being invaded by the Velociraptors is one big homage to the kitchen scene from Jurassic Park.
- Never Smile at a Crocodile: The Spinosaurus from "The River" actively hunts the human protagonist in the river. It even sticks its head up in the water much like crocodiles do.
- Nightmare Sequence: Part 2 of "The River" starts with the main character being fully submerged in water before being attacked by the Spinosaurus.
- Nothing Is Scarier: In "Sorna", the survivor encounters a few creatures stalking him within a water-filled room. They are relatively obscure due to the darkness within the water although the survivor takes a picture but we never see what they look like and it's only the survivor's horrified look and panic that tells us the threat they pose.
Word of God reveals that the creatures are Koolasuchus. - Playing Possum: In "Camp Curious", the camper plays dead to fool the Allosaurus fragilis. Then, the Allosaurus does the same thing to him.
- Predators Are Mean: Downplayed. Some of the carnivores in the series are not depicted as overtly violent.
- The Plesiosaur appears before the main character but they didn't attack him and are rather curious about him.
- The giant Hatzegopteryx in "The Trespasser" also initially ignores the main character (being more interested in hunting his cattle), only attacking in self-defense once he starts shooting it.
- Prehistoric Monster: It's a horror series involving dinosaurs, so naturally this trope tends to be emphasized.
- Protect This House: Part 3 of "The Tresspasser" has the Farmer defending his home from a pack of Velociraptors.
- Shout-Out: In the episode "Nedry", the titular character is wearing an SCP uniform.
- Shown Their Work: The Hatzegopteryx in "The Trespasser" has pycnofibres, rounded wingtips, and hunts predominantly on the ground.
- Snakes Are Sinister: In Episode 3 of "Sorna", a Titanoboa attacks the survivor and relentlessly hunts him.
- Spinosaurus Versus T. rex: Subverted. Both the Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus never fought nor directly interacted with one another, despite them hunting the same prey.
- Stock Sound Effects: In addition to most of the dinosaur species previously appearing in the Jurassic Park films using their canon sound effects, the Hatzegopteryx from "The Trespasser" notably utilizes the Quetzalcoatlus honks from Prehistoric Planet.
- Super-Persistent Predator: Both the Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex in "The River" persistently chases after the main character for more than a day. While the Spinosaurus ultimately stops after being scared off by the helicopter, the Rex doesn't.
- Truer to the Text: "Nedry" is a one-to-one adaptation of the same chapter from the original novel, unlike the movie.
