The disturbing part was the fact that these Zombies were previously snuff film directors who killed 12 people which is the all the more creepy.

    2. The Quilt Club: Muriel wants to join a Quilt Club run by two conjoined twins, but nothing she makes is good enough so she alienates everyone in the pursuit of making something worthy of the club.
    3. Human Habitrail: Dr. Gerbil kidnaps Eustace and Muriel and experiments on them.

    One thing that I felt was worth mentioning is Benton Terentella's kind of bizarre, obsessed form of directing. Like, when he's doing the "hand framing" thing, his posture and way of speaking really says that this guy is not just a cannibalistic zombie, but he is passionate in his work. I always remember the way he says "RRRRRACK FOCUS!!" and the creepily intense way he ties up Muriel, "That's right! Nice and tight!"

    Loved this video. Benton Tarantella (and the episode) has been one of my favourite things ever since viewing it over 20 years ago. Benton’s probably my favourite character period, not just from Courage. I’ve never forgotten this episode over the years and I used to mimic his little 📷 pose he does with his hands all the time. I love this ep so much more than Benton’s next episode, Angry Nasty People, though that one is so bizarre and funny in its own way.
    The great thing about Courage is how everyone has a specific episode or character that they were scarred or impressed by. You can ask any group of animation fans what stuck out to them the most and of course it’ll range from “Freaky Fred”, to “The Queen of the Black Puddle”, to even Kitty and Bunny in the Mask two-parter. Only a special kind of show can have that impact. I love it. Dilworth and all the crew and cast of Courage had such a good rapport to make such an amazing cartoon. I’m so grateful to this show for inspiring me to love horror and comedy as a kid.
