Dreams of a Crustacean Fiend
Me in 6 minutes: tough exterior, tender core, could potentially induce symbolic nightmares. Snack at your own peril.

This is a prequel to Multiple Maniacs, and no one can convince me otherwise. Also has some damn impressive stop-motion.

As someone who, in middle age, can rarely polish off much more than a bowl of cereal past 9pm without risking a bad night, I can totally identify with Billy Bletcher in this wonderfully daffy short. (Ah, for the days when pizza or a tuna melt and fries could be consumed in the wee small hours without a care!) Also an interesting reminder that in the 1920s, lobster was sometimes cheaper than chicken, and thus something an average middle-class family might have lying around for a midnight fridge raid.) I don't think I've seen Bletcher before, but this certainly makes me want to check out his other work.
Update (10/31/24): I've only just discovered that Bletcher provided the Headless Horseman's…

Decent I guess. Was funny sometimes and it wasn't trying to feel realistic in any way. That said, it feels like the kind of short that people would watch once for fun and never think about again.
If this sounds interesting, I watched it here.

Starts off really unsettling, then becomes a truly impressive work of semi-animated slapstick. The mixture of animation and live action is ambitious and impressive.
This short is clearly and heavily influenced by the works of Windsor McCay. The plot is lifted directly from his Rarebit Fiend stories, and it even cops the famous visual trope of the galloping bed. Still, the visual effects (giant lobster suit!) make this really enjoyable in its own right.

Tremendously fun short about crustacean nightmares with a beautiful blend of live action and stop motion. Me and my tummy issues can relate to the main character- granted I don't think I'd ever personally dare to eat lobster at midnight.
