[MegaCatBread]

creepy

[AriesGoddess93]

Born in '93

Why does this seem familiar ;_;

There's NOWHERE I could've seen it, yet I get a horribly strong sense of deja vu

[malivaxx]

@AriesGoddess93 the design is very similar to Tim Burton's stop motion animation movies.

the nightmare before Christmas, the corpse bride, and the short film Vincent to name a few.

[octobermoon619]

[rickyross182]

I wonder how this would play out if it was me with an M4A1. Id cap that niggas ass. Meh he has magic he might take my eyes anyway but still. 

[jjon43]

[yellow2000fluff]

I remember back in the day of around 1992 there used to be a lot of bizarre animations on T.V late on at night! channel 4 & BB.C 2 I think? And now we get shit like X-Factor, I'm a celeb (Get me out of here), strictly come dancing & big brother! How fukkin sad is that?

At least this stuff was skilled and offered meaning & expression!!!

[yellow2000fluff]

This is defo Acid gear!!!

[yellow2000fluff]

I remember once upon a time being tripped out & being fascinated by this really spacey looking pair of curtains whilst the moonlight was a glowing outside!!!

[haych77]

Been trying find this for years, seen it on SBS eat carpet many years ago..awesome!!

[caitlin1235]

this is actully quite scary we watched it in class in f22 and everyone was just staring at the screen

lol

[JakobDailes]

@MsKrishtina He was trying to see if he was awake. In folklore, the Sandman puts kids to sleep with his dust, explaining the yellow stuff that is in your eyes when you wake up, but if a "naughty child" wakes up or isn't asleep when he gets there, he takes his eyes and feeds them to the children of Sleep.

[zvermilyer3]

@JakobDailes

Actually, in the original folkore the Sandman was a kindly man who liked children and used his magic dust to put them to sleep and a magic umbrella to give them sweet dreams. There was nothing evil or scary about him. It was "The Sandman", a short story written in 1916 by E.T.A. Hoffmann, that turned him into a bogeyman that plucked out children's eyes and fed them to his children.

[JakobDailes]

@zvermilyer3 That's what I was talking about. I just didn't want to give a bibliography.

[zvermilyer3]

@JakobDailes

Well, excuuuuuuse me!

[JakobDailes]

@zvermilyer3 ur excused. now go to ur room and think about what you did.

D:

[SakiSakai]

dios mio que horror se robo los ojitos del niño.

OMG it's horrible, he theft the child's eyes

[misskoolkat8907]

lets admit this is kinda cool. and funny.

[misskoolkat8907]

how funny!! in english we wached this and a girl started covering her face with her scarf when the boys eyes come out!! i burst out laughing its soo funny when she does that. thumbs up if ud like to see her face when she waches this!! lol!

[TheBlondie967]

wow that was creepy.. I freakin' loved it so muchhh <333333

[CoconutCloudy]

We watched this at school, during the lights course (because this piece really has nicely used cold and warm lights, yada yada).

This instantly became my favourite stop motion short film! I loved how watching this really made me tense and fearful (plus I LOVE and adore the Sandman).

<3

[Jackey9595]

I didnt feel it:(

[blablaisallihear]

pause at 3:33 for a penis in the background

[MsKrishtina]

I wonder why the sandman kept bouncing around the boy. Was he just playing around?

[candiinside1]

Ugh...the thing that creeps me out most is the sandman doesn't care If he makes noise..he wants you to know he's there...nightmares for life!

[MegaEvilToaster]

Creepy as fuck.

[kawaiikateee]

I watched this when I was around eight. I've never gotten over it.

The fact that if you were not asleep by 10, he'd get you.

It freaked me out so much. My friend said it was time to face my fears and watch it.

I acted like it didn't effect me at all, but in reality im still sh*t-scared..

[CHCHuser]

4:30 It's an evil Snow Miser!

[tessakiwi1001]

i watched this as a kid and it caused me to pick up the habit of putting the covers over my head at night. lol

[tagteamutube]

Watched this in English yesterday, and i swear i was who thought the English teachers put more thought into the Sandman than Paul Berry did.

[jellytotj]

@tagteamutube so did i!!

[TearsOfDeathAngels]

xD my teacher showed my class this in media studies this year. All the TYs got freaked out. I was the only one who went "Ths is awesome! Play it again!" everyone else said, "UAGGHHHHH that was soooo SCARY" :3

[RaiszinBumm]

OMG. I watched this is Media Studies. Now, I'm gonna show it to my little sister. :D

[VIPDirectioners]

@RaiszinBumm I watched it in Media Studies! ;'] my little brother is freaking out..

[RaiszinBumm]

@VIPDirectioners LOOOL, I showed my little sister telling her it was just a cartoon. My mother was furious when my sister couldn't sleep. Haha. :'D

[xGirlGamerx]

This is freaking disturbing! I wouldn't live in that house whether the sandman existed or not D: this is just... terrifying.

[asubercaseaux]

HOLY SHIT DUDE. I'm like a huge horror movie fan, but this is beyond repair the scariest shit I've seen in a while. I'm impressed!

[TheCookedGrenade]

Damn it! I already had a fright of clay dolls/puppets! Now it is worse then before! :(

[MINIBUMF]

we had to watch this in year 7 english

[zomgitsacowXx]

MISS ASKEW WHY DID U MAKE ME WATCH THIS!!!

[misslidzvidz]

[misslidzvidz]

[matt78tv]

@misslidzvidz Should I ask what salad fingers is?

[misslidzvidz]

@matt78tv its a creepy cartton thing search it in youtube

[Robotdrummerzzk]

One of the scariest things I've seen. This is much more frightening than the modern horror shit we get.

[yellow2000fluff]

@Robotdrummerzzk This is a very creeped out world! Very angular & bent! A very heavy head fuck! Reminds me very much of the creepy parts of being whacked out on L.S.D. Very mystical, adventurous and creepy! It's the stillness, motion, colour, sounds and angular perceptions that occur in this piece that remind me of those past bizarre feelings I once had on L.S.D only that I never encountered the sandman as such! If I did I'd be blind & wouldn't be able to watch this!!!

[dalektaliban]

I wish i could make paino key noises every time i took a step

[divineoblivionguy]

damn it miss carter, y do u have to show this 2 me a billion times in english? that aint fair.

[divineoblivionguy]

[XXRandomMegaGraceXX]

Watched this in English!!

[BandidoSombrero]

@imdaprincess19 Tim Burton had nothing to do with James and the Giant Peach, and the style you are referring to is the product of a man by the name Henry Selick, who directed both NBC and JatGP; thus the recommendation you look him up on IMDB. Now that the joke has been thoroughly explained I have a window that needs my attention.

[bernyqueen]

i remeber this from locomotion

[simonelovesyoo]

We watched this in english, ahhhhhhh!!!

[BreesXLIV]

We had to write an opinion on this in German II

[BandidoSombrero]

@imdaprincess19 This comment hurts me more than anything I have read on the internet. Go look up Henry Selick on IMDb, and in the meantime I am going to find a really high window somewhere and jump out of it.

[Spartan11117777]

He has attention issues.

[lilmizzsexilexi]

[iiTzJamo]

Creepy but educational and teaches of what foreign folkore was like

[SandSReviews]

the german expressionism in this film is brilliant! the distortion of the walls and the heavy shadows all add to the creepy feeling of the film.

[Mectojic]

@Thecabbageful me too lol

[connor3820]

Does ANYONE remember the stop-motion animation on IFC involving a man with no legs in a wheelchair? There was a scene where someone got electrocuted on the telephone. I've been trying to find it for years.

[chinesebaby1]

[Elementroar]

@Elementroar Oh wait, that's punny. Hee!

[franzlovesmelody]

[sweetvegan74]

[MIZ3REE]

[JODonnell2194]

4 some reason i remember all these creepy muther fuckers productions, especially the mark twain satan one. I know i saw these when i was little but i dnt remember where, did they televise them?

[24AndresGM]

@JODonnell2194

I watched these in a channel called "Locomotion" however, it only aired in latin america.

[SpamLizzo]

Whenever I see that child, all I can think is "a nose in need, deserves Puffs indeed."

[SheAintNoSnowHo]

the mum looks creepier than the sandman!!

plus that woman needs reporting to social services or somat =P

[SheAintNoSnowHo]

the mum looks creepier than the sandman!!

[george4mon]

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

@george4mon ahahahahaha

[Harleyquinn191]

[EverWench]

Pauly D totally stole this kid's hair style.

[Mekratrig]

What about the third little baby sandman that got no eyeball?  What happens to it?

[JFDanim8or]

@Mekratrig he shares it with the other one

[LiAm77950]

@Mekratrig thats child abuse

[Marajannah]

@Mekratrig
