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.
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
There you go, JLott. I found another version…
Sorry, no I didn’t. I’ll keep looking.
