It's most excellent to see you again, Miss Morgendorffer! This place was getting too damp without your dry wit. And that's a totally classic flick. Another great selection! Claymation is so effective for horror. And speaking of spooky animation, I'll quickly share something that absolutely terrified me as a kid.
When most people think "Treehouse of Horror", they think of goofy, lighthearted Simpsons parodies. But back in ye' dark ages of 1990 (when it was simply known as "The Simpsons Halloween Special") there was the first ever segment in the show's history... "Bad Dream House". And it was legitimately disturbing, especially for a cartoon in 1990, and especially for young, fragile minds (to the point where angry parents phoned and wrote in complaints).
Bleeding walls, a creepy use of colours and shadowing, the echoing voice of a man repeating the words "Get out..." And a terribly unsettling background theme that still makes my skin crawl 25 years later. I would post the theme, but can't for obvious reasons. It truly chilled me to the bone, and at that time I really thought the Simpson family had moved into this terrifying house, which vanished into nothingness, as quickly as it had appeared...
I think the voice of a sweet little girl would comfort me in a dark remote forest.
The SNES version is chilling, but this GBA version even more.
Oh god no!
