HEY, SATAN! WANNA PLAY?

Okay, this clip is awesome for so many reasons. It really isn't 'terrible' at all. It's really just horrifying. Here's what I like about it.
1. The kids speak to the devil as if he is their new best friend, even though he sounds like Thom Yorke crying through a low pass filter-sweep.
2. At 1:51, the girl looks like she's about to light an apple to smoke out of.
3. Mark Twain doesn't give a fuck about those kids, and he just stands there and thinks while they enter hell.
4. No child could watch this and not cry. I almost did.

  1. I can't believe no one has commented on this. I watched the whole thing and omg it freaked me out so much. I'm gonna have nightmares, thanks a lot!

    The animation was really good though.

  2. I remember watching this when I was a kid... I was had just read The Great Illustrated Edition of Huck Fin, must have been about 7 and I picked this out at the video store. A little after this bit, I had my parents turn it off. It freaked me out and I had forgotten about it until now...

  7. Actually, the "Satan" in the video is actually Lucifer's nephew, named after the devil. (or great nephew, I forgot.) This is from the unfinished work by Mark Twain "The Mysterious Stranger"
