The Butcher's Revenge

Alan Carter
I remember a short film that terrified me as a child. I think I was 4 or 5 years old when I watched. I can't really remember what the film was about. I know it was stop motion. I think it was in black and white.

Brandon Henderson
I remember this film as well. I remember that the characters were bugs. The bugs looked real. I don't know if the bugs were real or fake. I always thought they were real. I might be wrong.

Alan Carter
Thanks Brandon, some of that information really helped. I remember that the film's main character was a butcher. I think the butcher was a beetle. I also remember that the butcher's wife was cheating on him with a grasshopper. I remember the butcher being angry.

Brandon Henderson
Yeah, I remember that part. I think the butcher followed the grasshopper to his house. I don't remember what else had happened.

Alan Carter
Yeah, I remember the butcher following the grasshopper to his house. The butcher pulled out a knife and chopped off the grasshopper's head. I don't my parents were letting me watch.

Brandon Henderson
I remember that part as well. I think the butcher also cut off his wife's head as well. I remember the blood that came out of the dead bugs. I know it was a silent film.

Alan Carter
I asked my mom if she remembered the film. My mom said, "I can't believe you remember that film. I remember your grandfather was a film director. He was the one that filmed the short. I remember the film was black and white and it was silent. Your grandfather loved insects. He used dead bugs to film the short."
