God bless Nick Kane. Maybe you guys didn’t catch him on Community, but I did. He was in a scene with Chevy Chase. That’s awesome.
The first day I met Nick Kane was when he razor scootered into auditions for the Paris Business Review, my old sketch comedy group.
He didn’t walk in. Nick Kane would never stoop to walk in to a room when he could skip, cartwheel or razor scoot instead. He razor scooted into our auditions. His pants were made from brown and green felt, and he was wearing a tweed jacket. I think the elbows had patches.
We’d set up a round table in the middle of the room, because our idea was really that people could just sit down and get to know one another and see if our comic sensibilities matched. I met some cool people that day, many of whom are still my friends, and the cosmic clown Nick Kane was among them, but he never sat down.
He only razor scooted. In circles and circles around the table. And he never stopped talking.
I don’t understand a thing he does, but I love it.
Ok, enough kissing his ass, here’s his latest film, from Stickman Films:
If you lurk in the dark corners of the internet, you know about the Slender-man. Like Zalgo and the other Creepypasta Avatars, he clutches at your dreams.
A tall, shapeshifting man in black type creature, his origins have been traced at least to 19th Century Germany.
Here, leave this playing in the background, it’s callers to Coast to Coast:
He is known as a kidnapper and killer of children. A few photos of him exist:
That one kid is so mad about being marched off to die.
This was before the library burned down.
German woodcut, 19th century. They had some awesome battles with demons back then.
Is this woman they're sacrificing wearing high heels? What year is this supposed to be?
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Some people just don’t like Halloween.
Can’t you get down with just one night of demons and human sacrifices? No one is going to sacrifice you. Druids only sacrifice virgins. Oh.
This guy might get sacrificed after all.
I watched a lot of these “Secret Origins of Halloween” videos to find one that was short and entertaining. Most of them aren’t even watchable. This one is:
My favorite moment is at 0:24, when the ghost flies by and a voice says, “Fly…” for some reason. Yeah, I already know ghosts can fly, guy.
The moment at 0:48 with the witch and the word, “Treats” is pretty awesome too.
