MACABRE
This stop-motion short from 1933 is perfect nightmare fuel

The Peanut Vendor is a charming and unintentionally terrifying animation from 1933. This black and white, two-minute short, features a creepy monkey puppet who sings a song about the "peanut vendor."

One of the things that makes this puppet so eerie is its googly-eyes that keep rolling around, and its incredibly long and slender arms.

If someone re-created this puppet and put it on their lawn this October, it would surely top any store-bought halloween decorations.
