A creative coding project that glitches the 1922 silent film Häxan by directly manipulating its H.264 binary data. Three approaches were explored: NULLing out frames, overlaying noise on raw YUV data, and finally targeting I-frame chroma bits to introduce color artifacts and a melting effect. The final technique uses Python and ffmpeg to extract the H.264 stream, randomly flip least-significant bits biased toward chroma data at frame ends, then repackage the result. Each run produces a unique output due to randomness.
