Mark Twain’s “Mysterious Stranger” — a Claymation Terror
Still in your jammies and slurping cereal in front of the tube? Then click through to this week’s Saturday Morning Cartoon…
“The Mysterious Stranger” was a scene in the 1985 film The Adventures of Mark Twain, in which Tom, Huck, and Becky get a visit from a very familiar character…who teaches his lesson through an apocalyptic nightmare.
You can learn more about this story on Wikipedia or even read the complete (but I believe unfinished) novel on The University of Viriginia’s e-text server.

Sad to hear that @microcosms editor and horror writer/poet Stephen M. Wilson has passed. His poetry lives on. http://t.co/sTj4sx8XBa - 2 days ago
