"the scariest movie EVER"
David Lynch's A Goofy Movie is pretty creepy, too.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

This Betty Boop short is extremely creepy (and not work safe: Bimbo's Initiation via Boing Boing (Bimbo is the name of a dog.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We watch Bimbo's Initiation fairly often around here. It's genius! What would Freud make of "Do you wanna be a member?"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I actually frequently chant "Wanna be a member? Wanna be a member?" to Matilda, and she always takes the perfect beat, makes a scrunched-up Bimbo face, and says sternly, "NO!" I love her dearly for it, among many other things.
Of the old Fleischer Brothers cartoons, "Bimbo's Initiation" is usually my second favorite. "Snow White" is usually my absolute utter favorite -- the "St. James Infirmary" section is every mad, swinging, endlessly inventive and gloriously grim thing Forbidden Zone ever wanted to be.
But sometimes I switch it up and make "Bimbo's Initiation" my favorite, 'cause I'm capricious like that.

Are those available on something other than You Tube (which my computer apparently hates 90% of the time)?

I don't know about officially, but we have them on various VHS tapes that I could burn to DVD if you can't find them elsewhere.

Let me look around and see (I was hoping it had been a disc rather than a tape that you guys were watching). So much stuff has come out on DVD it's hard to keep up. Also, I seem to remember Video Watchdog discussing some Fleischer stuff coming out, but that may have just been Popeye.
I will definitely take you up on that offer, if I hit a dead end otherwise.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Finally saw Avatar. The effects were good. But I'm pretty meh on the whole thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That film clip is probably the gayest non-gay thing I've ever seen, and I say that with all love. And slack-jawed admiration.
