Boredom has forced me to relive upsetting childhood memories. Many thanks, Youtube.

The Adventures of Mark Twain was one of scariest films I had ever seen as a kid. It had Satan in it, and the genocide of little clay people, an old pipe organ with faces of anguished souls trapped within, the more-graphic-than-expected banishment of Adam and Eve from Eden, etc. I used to watch it at least once a week and had regular nightmares as a result. I could never get enough of it, though. It got under my skin. The creepiest, most addictive kind of creepy, probably because it was Claymation, which provides that "real, but not" quality. It was also extra unsettling because I had been told it was a kid's film, which led me to watch the damn thing over and over again once I got home from kindergarten, trying to fathom what friendly kiddie message that weird white mask guy (who, apparently, was Satan, but I never really caught that bit of dialogue when I was younger) was trying to convey by performing a mini-massacre on mini-humanity in front of Tom, Becky and Huck Finn.

The video posted here shows that particular part of the film. I wish there were more excerpts, because the whole thing was filled with equally perturbing moments, but, well, what can you do.
