10 years ago, internet-based animated shows were still a relatively new concept, and many animators started experimenting with Macromedia’s Flash program, publishing the results for the world to see. One such animator was Joe Sparks, whose “Radiskull and Devil Doll” series, while short, was an overnight internet sensation.
Episode 2 of Radiskull & Devil Doll, titled “Hella Weenie”, was a particular delight, featuring a Ned Flanders-ish character getting his come-uppance for handing out fruit on Halloween, and Radiskull’s hatred of all things “happy” giving rise to a song in which he expresses an alternate Halloween greeting.
Although it reads as wildly primitive animation today, the song “Very Bad Halloween” at the end still rocks. You can watch the episode below, or go to the original show page and watch it in its native Flash format. Best of all, you can download the MP3 of “Very Bad” for free, courtesy of Mr. Sparks, who did all the music and voiced Radiskull himself. Have a very bad, very sad, disgusting Halloween!
