First off,sorry if people here are sick of posts like this that aren't exactly lost media. I'm asking here because I'm guessing that a lot of you would have knowledge on more obscure animations(and because I'm a lost media fan myself). Second off,I'm not entirely sure if this really happened or not,it could have been a dream,but I might think this just because most of my memories from my childhood before around age ten are weirdly hazy/nonexistent,so I thought I'd try to see if anyone knows what it was I might have seen.
So some context first. When I was really little,maybe around ages four to maybe seven at the most(2006-2009)I remember seeing this animation late at night(or what would be considered "late" for a young kid,so six to eight PM). Long story short it scarred me to the point where I vaguely remember that I ran and hid in another room. This wasn't something that I did as a kid,nothing usually scared me this much(except for those loud af brand logos at the beginning of movies,THX I'm thinking of you). I also sort of remember my parents asking what was wrong or something along those lines,so it could have just been one of those things where it wasn't supposed to be scary,but my stupid baby brain got carried away with it and I thought otherwise(which goes back to me not knowing if this really happened or not,maybe this was just a weird nightmare,but I digress). It could have been a whole show,could have been a short,I honestly have no way of knowing for certain,and I apologize. It could have been airing on TV(I had cable and frequently watched PBS Kids and Nickelodeon shows btw,if that could help with figuring all this out),or on a CD or VHS,so I wouldn't know when it could have been made. On a final note,I'm from the United States.
Anyway,on to the thing itself. I don't remember that much of it,but I distinctly remember one shot from it: i.imgur.com/LUbvPDA.png
Sorry for so little for so much build up earlier,but that's just a (really) crappy mock up I made of what I remember. Something standing in an open doorway,in the form of a black and white silhouette with little to no detail. It's not exactly to how I remember it,maybe the head was taller,maybe its eyes weren't crooked,maybe it wasn't wearing a tie,but the basic are all there. One thing that might be worth noting is that when Clock Man was still a hot topic in the lost media community before it was found,I thought that it might have been what I saw based on this depiction of Clock Man's design i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/239/939/83c.jpg
Of course,when Clock Man was found I also found out that what I saw definitely wasn't Clock Man,but the looks of Clock Man and the thing in the doorway were similar enough for me to make that connection,so I'm thinking that maybe what was know of Clock Man at the time was similar to the animation I saw in terms of plot,and my brain subconsciously put two and two together and thought that was what I saw,but it wasn't.
Another thing I remember,but can't one-hundred percent confirm happened was a lot of black and white checkered patterns. I think I remember some sort of chase sequence between the thing in the doorway and something else. I have no idea what the thing it was chasing looked like looked like. The scenery was all black and white with checker patterns,so think a crudely and poorly made version of that one scene from The Thief and the Cobbler. Maybe it was chasing the thing up/down some stairs. It was an open environment,not clearly indoors or outdoors,just a blank white void with black patterns. It was most likely traditional 2D animation,it didn't look like flash or 3d.I don't remember there being any dialog or music,but maybe there was,again,I don't know.
I don't know how to wrap this up,I think I got everything I know down,though. It might be poorly written because it's getting late,but I'd really like to know if anybody knows what this was. Feel free to ask questions if this was interesting enough for you guys.
(sorry if this sounds like a creepypasta)
