Stinger 521: Santa Claus (1959)

[TwitchingCheese]

Amnesia has nothing on this.

[YoshiTheBlue]

Ah, good old fashioned nightmare fuel.

[xTangerineFarmer]

@YoshiTheBlue Stole the words right out of my mouth, troper.

[YoshiTheBlue]

@xTangerineFarmer

It was the obvious comment to make.

[TheSonicfan1994]

OH MY GOSH! IT'S THE VAGINEER!!

[BurningSt4R]

Can't sleep, Reindeer will eat me.

[TnTKing327]

O Dear God, Cracked, why are we subject to this

[leonel1982]

i can't stop crying with horror

[locjuan25]

From Mexico to the world.

[ShupaNaraic]

The laugh of a psychopath.

[Vheeri]

CLASSY!

[glowworm2]

That's not a reindeer--that's a llama screaming for help.

[angryfatkid]

This, at 2:30 in the morning. Oh god.

[JMChurch18]

GOD........Sweet baby Jesus make it die!

[SpecterEightyFour]

That...that THING needs an exorcism... This entire movie creeped me out - from the laughably low-budget special effects, to the lack of a coherent plot, to Santa evidently using child workers as elves, and just a whole lot more 'oh GOD' moments... Ugh. I don't know if watching the MST'd version helped filter the terror.

[MrBoredomrulesmylife]

That's not creepy at all... *sarcasm*

[khhnator]

thank you internet for making me so fucked up that i now laugh my ass off at nightmare fuel

[Lukiwanderingartist]

@khhnator Am i fucked up too?! D=

[AGirlWithAKeyboard]

I have watched this twice already - without sound - and both times I had the same reaction: my eyebrows rose up, the hair on the back of my neck stood up, my mouth dropped, and I cried. Talk about horrifying.

TvTropes is EVIL!

[Ygdrasel]

...TVtropes sent me...Fucking hell...

[KantorekBaumerB14]

talk about fucking accidental-nightmare fuel

[furQ]

white reindeer of the hillside with a thousand young

[duergar999]

thumbs up if tv-tropes sent you here!

[peppermint23]

LOL

[arashinight]

It sounds like it's having a stroke

[ryuuseipro]

It's a Japanese monster (kaijuu) reindeer! :)

[kakashi76767]

good ol fashioned nightmare fuel! (Mst3k)

[Nixel85]

Awwwwww, he has Satan's eyes :-)

[Rubberman202]

I laugh so hard whenever I see this...  Because it's so fucking creepy!

[Kemonokami]

A pentagram and Reindeer laughing, you figure it out.

[cheater87]

Just finished this episode. XD

[Optimalillusion]

Caution! Do not use any gadget or software to play the sound backwards! I used my DSiXL, because I knew from the sound that it was a backtracked laugh, and now I regret it. It may be even more creepy.

[Essencewing]

Good old-fashioned nightmare fuel.

[zoo1619]

I can imagine a kid sleeping in his bedroom late at night, but as he sleeps he is awoken by a movie that was left in his VCR player by his older sister, then suddenly...

[InventingSituations]

@zoo1619 It sounds like you're speaking from personal experience

[zoo1619]

@InventingSituations the truth is, i am.

[LlamasWithAtaris]

It's funnier with Mike and the robots' maniacal laughter. They help us to better embrace the absolute horror and abomination that this clip is.

THIS WAS A KID'S MOVIE? BY GOD, NO!

[Applemask]

NO BAD WRONG MAKE IT DIE

[Falcovsleon21]

Funny thing is, I make this episode a yearly tradition in my household and not once has that reindeer scared me.

[LtBooloo]

Jesus that made me laugh so hard

[stevokwhl]

Hail Satan!

[ssjSky59]

jesus christ. (was probably eaten by that thing.)jesus christ. (was probably eaten by that thing.)

[ssjSky59]

And youtube loves to hate me.

[ssjSky59]

jesus christ. (was probably eaten by that thing.)

[pullahoko]

...aahehahahahahah-HOO!  ...eeahahahhahahahHAHA-HOO!!

[LoffleMe]

backwards laughing horse?

[MylesMoore]

ahhh... good old fashioned nightmare fuel....

[PikachuColoredPichu1]

A pentagram, and reindeer laughing...you figure it out.

[AshleyMarkPomeroy]

"Help us!"

[cabalia454]

*sobs uncontrollably*

[stewiesbabe]

so fuckin terrifying

[Ryuuken117]

Part of me just died.

[Darqlink51]

WHATS HAPPENING

[jellywillreturn]

I concur. Pure, unadultarated night

are fuel.

[Lobsterjob]

nightmare fuel.

[GOLDsonic105]

Shit. Glad I never saw that as a kid! XD

[DarthKain0]

Good old-fashioned nightmare fuel.

[LeFatTurkey]

Haaah hah ha ha haha HOO.

[OldUnkieAl]

This is the worst move I've ever seen.

[Lottech96]

he ha halol ha lol ha ROFL HA HAROFL LMBFAO HA HA HA!!!

[POOPTURTLE]

HA HA HA HA HOO

[mhirtes12]

Mexicans.

That's all I need to say. Mexicans.

[funlover163]

It just looks weird... I guess it's one of the things that would scare you as a kid....

Although I think my problem with bugs comes from watching the Mummy which is creepier than this...

[pig3292]

o I hear ya the mummy scared the crap outta me when I was little

[Calistro]

NIGHTMARE FUEL, JESUS.

[Valrul]

animatronics make me hunger for pizza

[Del249]

You guys are pussies. If you wanna see a creepy thing, go watch Carpenter's the Thing or Scott's Alien, not this gay shit.

[eldospinks]

You are missing the whole point. When you watch the films you mentioned , you know that there will be fucked up shit. When you watch a film that is made for children and you get shit like this...THAT is what makes it unerving.

[SpamNapkin]

why is it laughing backwards

oh god why

why

[Satochu]

thats creepy....

[dma69nyc]

If I was a kid watchnig this scene, I would definitely be creeped out. But it just makes me feel uncomfortable.

[Marshmallowmann]

that's exactly what i was thinking, it's disturbing.

[PeterDivine]

Why... why can't I stop watching it?

S... stop it.... make it stop... please...

[vjm3]

Holy shit I can't stop laughing.

[Swindle1984]

I don't get it. Why is this disturbing?

[Gigaspine7]

It's a white, animatronic reindeer that sounds like it's laughing backwards to Christmas music.

DEFINITELY NOT CREEPY AT ALL

[java10script10]

I have no mouth and I must scream.

[PeterDivine]

Well done on the reference.

[thisisntmyname]

Good Old-Fashioned Nightmare Fuel

[Freebleeper]

That sound comes from one of my halloween sounds cd.

[TehNoun]

That was... a little bizarre.

[inyuyasha321]

I'm....scarred....FOR LIFE...

[uxbnkuribo]

sweet jesus on a cracker

[blaze1372003]

Well, I don't think I'll sleep ever again.

[DrBreakfastMachine]

My soul....it's shattered....

[TheTygre]

I have no mouth and I must scream.

[JorealConners]

Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffff-

I've been playing Silent Hill 2, just got through some other Nightmare Fuel in a webcomic and decided to finish the job of slaughtering my sanity by coming here. Thanks, TVTropes.

[4thtroika]

A pentagram and reindeer laughing: you figure it out.

[Ketsuekisan]

Am I the only one who doesn't think this is scary?

[soccerghoul]

Imagine being like 4-6 years old and seeing it.

[MissReige]

It sounds like it's reversed...

[SteveElOtaku]

I refuse to believe that is a reindeer. It is probably Shub-Niggurath or Nyarlathotep in disguise and eats human souls.

[aekhoo]

@SteveElOtaku Yes, yes it is. Better fetch The Colt...I'm scared....

[MrNobody47710]

@SteveElOtaku

I'd bet my money of the shape-shifter.

[NodDisciple1]

@SteveElOtaku  Ia!

[PotatoUPrincess]

Well, that was frightening!

I guess there's nothing that says Merry Christmas better than a good old fashioned psychotic albino reindeer laughing manically as though it's about to eat you.

[Kemonokami]

WHO thought this would be cute?!

[willfreedo]

GAHH! This stuff is what nightmares are made of.

btw, I only know a single video scarier than this one. Turn the volume up after half a minute: watch?v=GxVneaLJGEM

[GeneralOlde]

ಠ_ಠ

[kleeackire]

Two words: Nightmare. Fuel.

[mediaman5005]

And I was just reading about Nightmare Fuel on TV Tropes Wiki.

[arkris00]

It's the baby from Eraserhead all grown up!

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

GAH! This is the stuff nightmares are made of.

[DAJ01]

See you in your NIGHTMARES!

[KillbotLuna]

GAHH.  This is what nightmares are made of.

[NeoSquirrel]

Out of context, absolutely psychotic. Then again, probably in context it is as well.
