I think these videos get more scary with age - its almost like the poor CGI helps with that feeling of unease in a world where things such as computer tech have advanced greatly since the mid 90's. Then again I watch movies like the Never ending Story or The Dark Crystal (my kids can not handle it!) and the stop motion / puppetry animation gives me the same feeling.... I do believe our generation can handle more than we think! Loving this series Mara! x
Definitely. The uncanny valley aspect only increases over time! I’m fine with stop motion and puppetry, but I get why people aren’t. And honestly, a lot of offbrand puppets that aren’t quite Muppets give me the creeps. I thought about it for a long time and I think it’s because most Henson puppets have eyes with pupils? But when they’re just flat black circles, they’re very creepy.
*googling Henson muppets* literally I never noticed that before! It's very true, do we need their pupils to understand their souls and if they dont have them....are they soulless!!? X
the music video that scared me the most as a kid and still does is thriller where michael jackson becomes a zombie.
