Salad Fingers: New episode of creepy animation appears on YouTube

Remember Salad Fingers? That horrifying, falsetto-voiced cartoon by British animator David Firth? Well, he's back, and just as creepy. 

Back in 2004, before YouTube and just after the launch of Facebook, Firth was terrifying teenagers on the internet with Salad Fingers, a strange green creature who inhabits an apolocalyptic world, with only his finger puppers – Hubert Cumberdale, Jeremy Fisher and Marjory Stewart-Baxter – for company. 

The 11th episode was posted on Firth's YouTube account, five years after the last one. The first episode, "Spoons", was shown on Newsgrounds.com in 2004, and the series wrapped on YouTube in 2014. 

"This episode was funded by my lovely Patreon supporters," Firth wrote.

"Well, hello Mr Fingers," Salad Fingers says in the new episode, titled "Glass Brother". 

Over 15 minutes, Fingers performs a hideous experiment on one of his puppets, is haunted by a ghastly old woman (called Glass Mother) in his mirror, and mixes strange potions that make him throw up. 

Watch it at your peril.
