I loved it
Neil Gaiman and stopmotion. My favourite things.

I got so scared
but had to pretend that I wasn't because the kids weren't.

I found it creepy as well.
But I think it's one of those things that seems creepy if you're slightly older - lines like "you said he talked too much, so we...fixed him for you" probably wouldn't freak children out quite as much.

The book's even worse.
"I swear it on my mother's grave." "And does your mother have a grave?" "Why yes, I put her there myself, and when I caught her trying to get out, I put her back in."

I thought the button eyes were really creepy but I guess kids wouldn't
although the witch with the really long fingernails would scare the shit out of anyone.

Especially as it's voiced by Teri Hatcher
She was Lois Lane! How can she be the baddie?

But again, kids won't appreciate the significance of that.
