Johnny is a hyperactive, shape-shifting mutant child, kept locked away in a basement. With only his feverish imagination and his terrified dog for company, he finds ways to amuse himself in the dark.

Apparently he is kept locked in his basement buy his "redneck parents". His only companion is the dog. The boy is about 16 years old.

Is this thing real?

Wow, that's some good shit. Though the video is (admitedly) scary, I liked the music.

Brian Peppers? Whodat?

I assume (as posted by someone) the link to Rubber Johnny is the guy who made the clip.

I came upon a Rubber Johnny video a few weeks ago, thought about posting it here, but decided not to.

Here it is. It's much better quality, and the music is good. It's hosted on my UT clan's server.

On the night of Thursday 23 June, a series of free screenings of Rubber Johnny will be projected onto buildings throughout London, giving you an incredible opportunity to preview this awe-inspiring visceral onslaught, as well as see the terrified faces of unprepared passers-by.

I was wondering how long it was going to be until it ended.

Strange stuff.

Dude, that was freaky. I'm scared now. So I guess this is the same guy that did Windowlicker. That was a WEIRD music video.

Yeah, read my post and check it out, I see now that it's from the same video, but the size and quality is much better on mine.
