Lost Classic – Flesh Eating Film Reels

I was in third grade when my family first got cable television and I vividly remember seeing this short because it TERRIFIED me.  Thanks to AICN, this classic has been found on YouTube. What I find most surprising is that although the special effects look dated and the older me doesn’t find it frightening, this short stills stands up. The premise is clever and well executed. I noticed the name “Ben Burtt Jr.” listed in the credits and did some cursory research to see if it’s the same legendary Ben Burtt of Star Wars fame and I’m pretty sure it is, but I can’t be certain.
