I originally saw this clip — part of a full-length animated Claymation™ film called The Adventures of Mark Twain — when I was in 6th grade. In 1985, I thought it was just about the awesomest thing ever, and it still gives me very pleasurable shivers. Of course, one must understand that I’ve enjoyed a special relationship with Old Scratch since he first taught me how to make the neighbor jock kids cry.

Happy Halloween, m-effers!

Love this movie. I remember seeing it as a kid and loving how irreverent and blasphemous the Adam & Eve vignette was as well…
