     This one unsettled me as a kid, and still does....

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

This one from Liquid Television

And then there was this one from Sesame Street.  It's the beady eyes and unnatural look to the bird creatures mouth. Creeped me out as a kid.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJAfCydkjJ0&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PLBD56BE4614CBB4D2
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

Oh man.  I remember that episode.  It was apart of that animated movie Daffy Duck's Quackbusters.  A lot fun, but freaky.  This part sort of stays with me though:

Though the creepiest animated cartoon from the Looney Tunes was one that was sort of a take on Body Snatchers.

Oh man, I hate that story in general. Little girl has these wonderful visions as she freezes to death. I know Andersen had a good point to make, but I don't know why people persist in thinking it's a nice children's story. It's tragic and disturbing.

The Rankin-Bass Hobbit film freaked me out as a kid. Aside from the trolls and goblins and such, there's something in that late-70s style of drawing and animation that I've always found dark and vaguely unsettling.

Similarly, I found some of the earlier stuff from Nelvana to be a little creepy for much the same reason. The content might be cute, but that distinctive 1970s Nelvana style was disturbing to me at that age.

Adults think kids' love stories about death, despair, tragedy, and other uplifters like that.  Why else would most Newberry Award winners be so depressing (Island of the Blue Dolphins, Bridge to Terabithia, On My Honor, The Giver)?  Frankly, I think these people hate kids and just like making them upset.

I know they're not intended to be creepy, but for some reason I find most of the very early Merrie Melodies cartoons from the 30s (pre-cursors to what became Looney Tunes) which were in Black & White and featured a lot of singing/dancing, creepy as hell. I love vintage 'toons from the 40s and 50s but those really early 'toons have aged so badly that they look like transmissions from some bizarre netherworld nowadays.

My kids have a DVD of old public-domain "Christmas Classics" cartoons and this one just bugs the hell outta me every time it comes on. Must be that damn "The Shanty Where Santy Claus Lives" song.

     The 1960's version of THE LONE RANGER was kinda creepy....

Both Spider Man and Rocket Robin Hood visited Dementia 5 in the 1960s. Very cool episodes, but creepy and very surreal.

Clutch Cargo - a cartoon with real people's mouths on the characters' faces.  Check it out beginning around the 0:35 second mark . . .

It's claymation, but this classic has been scarring childhoods for years.

I just noticed that "Satan" has Hellboy's Right Hand of Doom! Fantastic.
Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

Ah, those are the best kind of creepy cartoons!

Do a web search for Van Bueren studios, a 30's animation stuio which spun off of Aesop's Fable's Studios.  Weird, Weird stuff, their worst cartoons are probably their "Milton and Rita mouse" cartoons.  Milton and Rita look exactly like some other, more famous mice, but with worse animation, and adult situations.  They also have a "Tom and Jerry." No, these weren't a rip-off of Hanna Barbera's characters, Van Bueren was gone long before the famous cat and mouse team came about.  Just look them up.  It's strange, strange stuff.
