Welcome to Hell is an animated web series by Erica Wester. It chronicles the demon Sock Sowachowski’s misadventures while attempting to haunt the high school age human Jonathan Combs to suicide. A continuation of the first installment is in production.
Contents
Sock Sowachowski, «an unfortunately friendly demon», finds that «his new job, haunting and attempting to drive an apathetic highschooler to suicide, isn’t as easy as he’d hoped it would be.» [1]

Welcome to Hell (2013) [ ]
The original Welcome to Hell animated short film was created as Wester’s senior thesis at Kansas City Art Institute (KCAI). It won an award of excellence for animation from Best Shorts Competition. [2] The film was fully funded through a Kickstarter campaign. [3] It first premiered at the Kansas City Art Institute’s 9th annual «Frame by Frame» festival in May of 2013 [4] [5] and was later released online June 2nd, 2013. [6]
The film presents a revised version of the events of the 2010 web comic and goes on to detail Sock’s first attempts at disturbing Jonathan, who doesn’t respond like he’d hoped and is mostly annoyed by Sock’s presence.
High-definition release (2014) [ ]
For screening during the Dragon Con Independent Film Festival of 2014, Wester was required to produce a high-definition copy of Welcome to Hell. [7] Aside from the quality increase, the HD release includes a few re-animated shots along with slight camera angle adjustments and timing changes. [8] [9]
W2H2 (TBD) [ ]
W2H2 will be an animated continuation of the original Welcome to Hell short film. It will focus more on Jonathan, who hadn’t much introduction in the first film. A release date has not yet been determined. [10]
Origins [ ]

“
I like dark comedies, I like stories that are slightly self-aware, I like character-driven interactions. And I like that unsettling mixture of spooky and cute!!
”
Wester has always been drawn to dark comedy and character-driven stories, and with Welcome to Hell she set out to make one of her own. [11] She is an avid fan of the American animated cartoons South Park, The Simpsons and Futurama, and grew up watching Disney animated movies and Japanese anime like Yu-Gi-Oh!, so some aspects of Welcome to Hell are influenced by or pay homage to them. [12] [13]
2006-2007 sketches of Sock and Mephistopheles.
She also enjoys «Faustian deal-with-the-devil type stories», such as the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Pippin and comedy horror rock musical Little Shop of Horrors. [14] The character Mephistopheles in particular was heavily influenced by the Lead Player from a performance of Pippin she saw at her high school. [15] He was even originally to perform a musical number in the first Welcome to Hell animated short film. [16]
Early concepts for Welcome to Hell first appeared on Wester’s social media accounts in 2007. [11] The characters Mephistopheles, Sock, and Jonathan emerged before any coherent plot had formed. Each of them went through many redesigns as Wester gained art and story-telling expirience. Wester often posted about these characters on the social art website DeviantArt, where she revealed the first attempt at formalizing their story with the 2010 Welcome to Hell webcomic.
Webcomic (2010-2011) [ ]
Part of the first page of the Welcome to Hell webcomic.
Welcome to Hell was first a webcomic hosted on the social art website DeviantArt. It received two «Daily Deviation» awards before it was dropped in May of 2011 after the eleventh page. [17]
In the comic, Sock discovers he’s killed his parents, commits suicide, and arrives in Hell, where he meets Mephistopheles, who offers him a job. The story was eventually reworked into the 2013 Welcome to Hell animated short film.
Future [ ]
Erica is currently trying to raise money in order to continue the project, but regardless of whether you donate or not, she’ll still be making it. However, if you do donate, there’s a chance of getting special «first-looks». [citation needed]
I can see you creep behind every corner Watching me on my way through the night It would seem that I have nothing to offer but now the time has come to take life
Blood on my hands Blood on my faith The death of innocence the eyes of disgrace Black is this heart Black is this curse and now the death shall inherit the earth
Pain is all that I can feel Darkness is the only thing that’s real There’s something alive inside of me Welcome to hell Welcome to hell
Now I can see what I’m meant for I can see why I’m here Put in this place and time for fear Death, decay, watch it appear! The final offering is growing near
Blood on my hands Blood on my faith Darkness embrace me as I’m falling from grace Black is this heart Black is this curse Waken this unholy thirst
Pain is all that I can feel Darkness is the only thing that’s real There’s something alive inside of me Welcome to hell Welcome to hell
Добро Пожаловать В Ад
Добро пожаловать в ад!
Я вижу как ты ползешь за каждым углом Наблюдая за мной на моем пути через ночь Казалось бы, что мне нечего предложить Но теперь пришло время забрать твою жизнь!
Кровь на моих руках Кровь на моей вере Смерть невинности глаза позора Чернота – это сердце Чернота – это проклятие И теперь мертвые должны унаследовать землю.
Боль-это все, что я могу чувствовать Тьма-это единственное, что реально Внутри меня есть что-то живое Добро пожаловать в ад Добро пожаловать в ад
Кровь на моих руках Кровь на моей вере Смерть невинности глаза позора Чернота – это сердце Чернота – это проклятие И теперь мертвые должны унаследовать землю.
Боль-это все, что я могу чувствовать Тьма-это единственное, что реально Внутри меня есть что-то живое Добро пожаловать в ад Добро пожаловать в ад
