Extremely well done. This animation reminds me of those old Marvel cartoons from back in the day.

@DaniHooligan Ah man, perfect! That is 100% the vibe I was going for -- I even considered writing a little upbeat opening tune along the lines of those '66 Marvel theme songs but I wanted to get the project done by Halloween and time was just too tight. So glad that reference point still kinda made it through.

This is the CUT version of side two of the HORROR RECORD! The whole flogging segment is missing from the "torture Chamber" sequence! The record was cut in the latter 70's by Johnson Smith after complaints! I have the UNCUT version!

[vancefink]

@MisterMumps Heh, I actually did that edit myself but I promise that it was purely functional. Eerie Publictions just didn't have any decent flogging covers (too tame for them I guess), but it was a tough call for sure -- that scene cracks me up!

[vancefink]

Wow, thanks so much everyone! This was a lot of fun for me to make and I'm really glad that you're all getting such a kick out of it too.

Hey, WONDERFUL clip, put a smile on my twisted face all the way through! I have been a fan of Scar Stuff since you offered those two great Halloween CD's which I cherish. I remember stumbling across some of these extremely offensive b&w horror comics in my friend's older brother's room, we almost felt like they were taboo even then - the graphics were soooo grisly! Of course, we loved it!! I just ordered that wonderful book and can now learn all about those wacky publications!!!

[MrJustinSDavis]

This is pretty much my favorite thing in the cosmos.

Very Cool!! I have some Eerie Pub Videos on My Channel.. I remember this playing as We Trick or Treeted in the 1970s!! From the Houses that smelled like Incence and Indonesia..HHMMM?? LOL.. thanks For making it!!

[CreatureFeature84]

I think i'll have this video on constant loop for the rest of my life.

Incredible! Suddenly it’s 1973 and I’m standing on my tip-toes trying to catch a glimpse of the these tawdry little miracles splayed out across the top shelf of the newsstand at People’s Drug Store. Too young to own them, but deeply mesmerized all the same...

[MrFreimannRadek]

awesome

[theLKiss]

This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen....awesome job!!!

[Skkredd]

EXCELLENT! I love that you took two beloved things from my (our, collective) childhood and have combined them into a fantastic original video! Very inspiring, thanks Jason! Now, quit wasting time and start animating "The Thrilling, Chilling, Sounds of the Haunted House"!

[Squeaky1423]

ha ha ha ha! Love it! I feel like I'm back in the 70's!

[MutantvillePlayers]

[hpyro]
