A cheesy but well-made little toon of the Beatles' cheesy but well-made little tune about a serial killer.

I think that Maxwell would be a spree killer instead of a serial killer, since his killings took place over a relatively uninterrupted and short period of time.

Andrew Cunanan was more of a spree killer than a serial killer, since he had one giant streak of murders. John Wayne Gacy, on the other hand, was a serial killer, killing periodically over many years.

My number one favorite Beatles song changes as time goes on. But this song has always stuck around. Consummately singable without giving away it's crazy-deviousness & would give my right pinkie to have written it. Love the imagery here. For some reason, I always thought this song a bit subtle, but these animators have ripped that away from me. Great find!

Oh, you ninny! Can't I call a cute little psycho child a "serial killer" without you getting all pedantic on my ass?! I think if Maxwell were here he'd bash your head in before mine.

dammit. this is the cool stuff i miss, when i put work before sifting.
*dark - but since kp's grindhouse tag didn't take, i'm not sure whether to go with that, or british, or ? for the 5th. anyway.

great find! and playlisted in 'my childhood' because of the song. not because i killed anyone, as a child. with a silver hammer. specifically.
