In general, i think claymation is the best technique to scare people.
BUT WHY? Does it stratch the Uncanny Valley of "looks real but it aint but its moving at a very creppy rate" ?
What is the most uncomfortable/unnerved an animation has made you?
Uncanny valley is a big part of it.

I feel that a lot of the creepiness factor of claymation is from how the entire figure seems to be in constant motion because of tiny indentations and imperfections left by the animator while repositioning it between shots. Newer claymation tends to be smoother and cleaner, which mitigates this.
Was it this one?

He made sequels based on "resivoir dogs" and "fabulous secret powers" respectively.
