[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Commander Santa I am looking for a particular animated short that terrified me as a child. I've been looking on and off for it for nearly 4 years. Maybe it doesn't exsist. Maybe...nobody should ever find it. But if someone can - it's The Flood. Here is all I can give you for clues... [u][b]THE MYSTERY OF "CLOCK MAN"[/u][/b] [url=http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu19/Commander_Santa/ClockMan.jpg] THE BEST I COULD DO TO DRAW CLOCKMAN[/url] [u]Clue #1:[/u] The short I am looking for appeared during an old Nickelodeon Show in the early/middle 1980's. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLCg1kb1sA0&feature=related] The Show was called "Pinwheel"[/url] [u]Clue #2:[/u] This short animation was terrifying as a child. The scene is still burned into my mind (28 years later). It's of a young boy sleeping in his bed. Above his bed is a ticking clock. All the lights in the room are off and it is very dark. Suddenly the clock begins to slow down it's ticking and eventually it stops...on midnight. When the clock stops a Greenish/Bluish man climbs out of the clock. The boy wakes up just in time to see this man dressed in black grab him out of bed and kidnap him by carrying him through a window. The "Clock Man" takes the boy on some kind of terrifying adventure and brings him back to his bed before sunrise. [u]Clue #3:[/u] "Pinwheel" collected cartoons and stop-motion animation shorts from all over the world to add to their show. I'm almost certain it's a stop animation...but all these years later it could be a cartoon. Nevertheless, the short is probably not American. [u]Clue #4:[/u] I've already scoured Wiki, TV Junk, Retro Junk and Youtube and have come up empty handed. I've Googled and Yahoo searched for this short as well. Maybe it's the one thing that has evaded the internet all this time. And Maybe for good reason. [u][b]*****REWARD?*****[/u][/b] To avoid making this a contest (and therefore against forum rules) I will only say this... If by chance...someone was able to locate this terrifying child's animation and post it in this thread - there is a very good possibility that you will be handsomely rewarded in a PM from me. - Anyone with questions - feel free to ask, I'll answer anything I can. It's been a very long time since I've seen that short animation and it has haunted me for almost 30 years. I can't begin to tell you how happy I'd be to see it one more time before I pass away.
