Horror and Humour: Chew Chew Baby

Check out this cartoon from 1958. With its theme of a monstrous little cannibal loose in Cincinnati, it’s definitely a horror story… but who exactly was the audience? It looks like it’s for kids, but that would surely be the stuff of nightmares. Note the zombie-esque ending.

    Hi,

    I have been looking for this cartoon for years, I saw it as a child and never forgot it. I would like a copy but mostly I just want to see it again. Could you repost it?

    Thanks,
    Della

    Sorry, Della. I had it embedded from YouTube, but it looks as though they’ve been asked to remove it, which is why it doesn’t play any more. There must have been a copyright issue.

    It might mean that it is soon to appear on DVD…

    I’ve (temporarily) lifted the block on the cartoon. Try again.

  4. Backbrain says:

    That’s excellent. Thanks, Mr HanMi. I hope Della reads this as she was so keen to see it.

    I assume you’re the copyright owner?

    Shhhhh!

    Oh, right. My lips are sealed….

    Oh how I wish this video was still available!! I have tried several times to tell my husband about seeing this as a kid and he looks at me like I’ve grown a 2nd head. He doesn’t remember it and I’ve never forgotten it. Please let me know if it is ever available again. Thanks

    Sorry, no I didn’t. I’ll keep looking.
