The Amazing Mr. Bickford

"Amazing" is the perfect word for this one. MR BICKFORD is 50 minutes of stop-motion clay animation by Bruce Bickford, scored by Frank Zappa. It's bizarre, perverse, nightmarish and so intense that at a mere 50 minutes, it's almost too much to take in one sitting... but it's definitely worth seeking out.

A word of warning: while it might seem like a good idea to take some sort of hallucinogens or intoxicants before watching this, I certainly wouldn't recommend it. With all of the nightmarish sequences, a bad trip could easily ensue! Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything. No, really.
