    Someone else mentioned another/third "face morphing" segment, which I faintly recall, but only ever saw once in 1980, when I was four, so I guess I didn't just dream that one after all! In it, a guy's face is seen in semi-profile, and his mouth changes shape and expression a number of times, and...

    One that was pretty bizarre was of the elevator operator going up ten flights, letting on various people, vehicles and objects until the car exploded at the end. It's hard to tell what was more disturbing: the weird noise when the witch/goblin gets on at the 4th floor, or when the elevator...

If any parents wrote to CTW and requested that they stop showing this one, I can easily see why...it's even...

    I only ever saw this clip once, in 1981 or so, when I was five, and though I never saw it again, I never forgot it. It just seemed so weird, strange and haunting...especially when David fades away while the oboe is playing, leaving the multi-colored background. I think of this clip whenever I...

    Click on it...if you dare!!! :p:( It is now on YouTube, under the title "Cartoon Face Morph". The animation seems to be by Etienne Delessert, who also did some other weird animation segments on the show, including the one with the apple tree atop the ogre's face in the hillside. It was weird...
