Salad Fingers

Youtube has David Firth‘s Salad Fingers in its horror shows listing.

It’s an imaginative series and I watched 5 of the episodes but didn’t make it all the way through episode 6.

I think the two main things that make it unbearably unsettling for me is its slow pace and quiet soundtrack.  Firth makes you wait and wait for a horrible thing to happen and he makes you think what it might be.  By the time it does happen, I have imagined a bunch of nastiness.

The monologue is great too.  “You smell like soot and poo.”  “Don’t you like my mouth-words?”
