Thanks for watching everyone :)

"...Was it blue?" me: *instantly realizes where this is going*

If he draws the main characters normal= a horrifying story

The fact Thomas never actually promises anything for his soul. Thomas uses words like he “can” give him a “chance” at a lifetime without sorry, not he “will” give him. Truly this is an excellent example dealing with devils, you give everything and get nothing.

How does he do it. He makes a premise that should be comedic and borderline parody but he actually makes deep, unnerving, bone chilling, and hell even amazing psychological horror that stands out on its own despite the ridiculous character choices and premises. Fucking Genius

The auto generated captions don’t show the trains words. Absolutely terrifying.

"I have seen past the farthest star. And I have gone to the edges of the earth. I can take you there, if you so choose. I can give you all the things you never knew you wanted. Taste from the tallest chalice, dine at the largest halls. All I ask in return, is your soul. Your soul for a chance at a life without pain, without heartache. All this I can give you and more. Just for your soul. Drain you of woes. Your God's turned his back on you. That's why my tracks still push me forward." ~Thomas, The demonic vessel.

I can't wrap my mind around how one dude can be so insanely talented as an animator, an incredibly gifted voice actor, creative enough to come up with all the weird, off-the-wall stuff he does, and also manages to write dialogue like a world-class poet. I'm waiting to find out if MeatCanyon is also an award-winning sculptor, classically trained pianist, world-famous pastry chef, and has published scholarly articles in the New England Journal of Medicine. I sound like I'm man-crushing on the guy, but MeatCanyon, you are very good at what you do.

"Your god has turned his back on you, that’s why my tracks still push me forward." IS SUCH A COOL FUCKING LINE HOLY SHIT

*Pixar:* _What if cars had feelings?_ *MeatCanyon:* _What if Cars had Post Traumatic Stress?_

Eddy: "25 cents is all it takes." Thomas: "Your soul." Man, talk about markup...

I heard a train whistle in the distance irl, at 3:50, and I damn near shit my pants.

A little detail I noticed was if you watch lightning’s eyes at the end for a single frame he looks up. Whether this was at thomas or god, idk, but little details like that make Meatcanyon’s work more than just a meme

This is the closest we will ever get for cars Crossover to Thomas the tank engine

This puts the meme of, “its was time for Thomas to leave, for he has seen everything.” to a whole other level

Devil: I can give you anything you want. Me: I want you. him: what? Me: spread em

Can we just hand it for Mater for being a true bro and listening to Lightning’s story completely.

Imagine having a near-death experience, and instead of encountering divinity you encounter a demonic apparition telling you “your god has turned his back on you”. I mean damn

*"Racecars don't need headlights because the track is always lit"* -Lightning McQueen

I think that of all of the videos meatcanyon has made ,the ever increasing yet subtle horror is best applied in this particular one

Anybody gonna talk about how descriptive and eloquent his characters always are in their dialogue? Feels like I’m listening to an audiobook

Normally the whole *”Sell me your soul”* cliche is just a cliche, but this feels like it has weight to it.

The way meatcanyon writes the script is beyond excellent. He should write a netflix series like blackmirror or something

this is by far the best meatcanyon story so far. a tale of an abyss with megalithic principles of uncertainty... serving as a marketplace for apotheosis. amazing work brother. i know its probably unlikely, but a sequel to this would be AWESOME.

Theory: McQueen slightly lied about the dream, he in fact did sell a soul to Tomas, Mater's soul. Which is why the odd tension about the two of them being the only ones out there in the woods together.

Not gonna lie when Thomas spoke that was the most badass voice I've ever heard

Meatcanyon this my favorite out of all your animations. Very lovecraftian. Love your cosmic horror bro.

Such an exquisitely terrifying monologue against a cartoon backdrop that somehow still manages to make me laugh. It's a rare talent MeatCanyon has to make us feel fear and happiness simultaneously. We need more like him.

What's even scarier about this is when Thomas is talking closed captions couldn't make out a single word

Here's what Thomas is saying until we can get captions updated! "I have seen past the farthest star. And I have gone to the edges of the earth. I can take you there. If you so choose. I can give you all the things you never knew you wanted. Taste from the tallest chalice. Dine at the largest halls. All I ask in return, is your soul. Your soul for a chance at a life without pain. Without heartache. All this I can give you and more. Just for your soul. Drain you of woes. Your God has turned his back on you. That's why my tracks still push me forward."

I still think this is your best work made. The visuals, sound design, and the writing.

Mater: "I saw a train on my way up here today" Oh no Lightening McQueen: "Was it blue?" Mater: Yesss! Oh dear, It's Thomas aight.

*When he asked: is it blue?* *I instantly knew its our ol’ pal tommy*

I love how mator isnt stupid or oblivious to lightning mcqueen. Like he's still a listening caring friend who just wants his friend to feel better.

This is still his best video it's so freaking epic and dark, the audio is so intense and just everything about it. Never gets old

Mater's soul was the one given, that's why McQueen took the naiive Mater to the middle of nowhere, and why McQueen says " There's nothing to be afraid of now." at the end.

If this guy was born 30 years earlier he’d be writing Stephen king type books instead of meme videos 😂😂

“ I’ll tell you what, that’s downright horrifying” - Mater

It's wild how the words spoken give such a vivid picture, and the video gives that picture a body. I couldn't imagine it any differently. Meat canyon's imagery is beyond skilled

Started all "Broke Back Mountain" and ended with "Hellraiser"

Thomas: "I have seen past the farthest star... And I have gone to the edges of the earth... I can take you there, if you so choose. I can give you all the things you never knew you wanted, taste from the tallest chalice, dine at the largest hall... All I ask in return, is your soul. Your soul for a chance at a life without pain, without heartache. All of this I can give you and more... Just for your soul." Thomas: Drain you of woes... Your God has turned his back on you. That's why my tracks still pushing me forward... For people who can't make out what Thomas says.

The really terrifying thing was how accurate the locomotive sounds were placed.

I just noticed that his tongue curls up with his "L's" like you normally would. These small details don't go unnoticed.

This is where Choo Choo Charles got their inspiration from

This really does give alot of lore in the Cars Universe

The writing in these is insanely beautiful and chilling holy shit

As an old Thomas and Cars fan this all fits perfectly.

The sound design of that dream is horrifyingly beautiful.

I bet this is the god Eddie was talking about in jawbreaker...

“I have gone to the edges of the earth...i can take you there...” *TO FINISH THAT BIG MAC*

I’ve seen every meat canyon video, and this one by far is the most well executed. The visuals, audio, dialogue are just amazing.

I think he got popular and a lot of people focus on his different art styles and weird stories, like jawbreaker which made him famous. But honestly the greatest thing about him is his astonishing story telling abilities

“Let go of your earthly tether,Enter the void,Empty and become wind.”

the thought of Thomas being a cosmic grim reaper is actually quite frightening

2:11 creepiest part

Thomas voice could be described as eerie, solemn,,soothing and seductive. The kind of voice to tempt yo into giving yourself to him even knowing of the danger of taking the deal with such a fearsome inter dimensional creature.

Now THIS is how you do creepy. No blood. No excessive gore. No over the top scares. Just atmosphere. The voices, the ambience, the silence. You don’t have to be loud to be scary. You can be quiet too.

Parents: "What in the hell are you watching?!" Children: (Heads slowly turn...) "we... are... witnessing... PERFECTION... Everything you thought you knew... All the vegetables you said were good for us... LIES..."

As soon as I heard the train whistle, I knew it would be Thomas.

This is easily MeatCanyon's most underrated video.

Matthew 4:8: "Again the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor." Thomas is satan

“Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?”

This is a literal horror story, the train is creepy asf and the video is dark as hell

The audio quality of this channel is phenomenal. The animations and stories are great, but listening to these with headphones adds a whole other layer. Beautifully done.

Why does Lightning McQueen literally sound like he's narrating a Creepypasta

The dreamworld has a tree that's living on the right and dead on the left. Thomas appears from the right tunnel and leaves through the left. You comes into existence from the darkness of the tunnel, living life on the open tracks where you can actually see, only to return back into the darkness when you die. McQueen being placed in the center of birth and death implies his status of being alive. He was being asked by Thomas whether he wanted to stay where he was, or be taken along with him to the left tunnel, death.

Love that reverse reverb on the voice. This sum good shit Easily my favourite piece you've created. This was so well written

Cars if it was written as a German children's story.

I just realized that Thomas was stalking Mater. McQueen straight up sold his best friend's soul for 'Paradise'. Damn.

god damn these Disney+ shows are getting more exotic...

I love watching these!! Please make more of these parody’s I wanna see part 2 of this one

I am absolutely in love with your voice! Very versatile when portraying different characters.

"Drain thee of woes. Your god has turned its back on you. That's why my tracks still push me forward." I really wish Meat Canyon would make a horror movie.

I just wanna hear you read some scary stories in these voices man

This is definitely one of meat canyons best work by far, i had goosebumps the entire video and the story is told so well to make you unbelievably uneasy. The way the dream segment is executed really adds to it, and lightnings description makes it all the more terrifying. Thomas being a grim reaper type character in this short is definitely funny on paper but meat canyon executed it so well that it fits so perfectly as a train demon. I would love to see a continuation of this story because it just does everything right with the horror, maybe in a sequel we can see lightnings friends encounter the train like sally or maybe a prequel like doc getting confronted by thomas, something like that format. But, this is definitely my favorite meat canyon short of all time.

This is his most terrifying video

"Drink from the tallest chalice Dine in the largest halls" Damn.

"Drain your woes; your God's turned his back on you. That's why my tracks still push me forward."

I love this one bro always come back to it when it comes to my feed. Great work you did with this

“If you choo choose…”

Lightning actually did take the deal, he just paid the debt with Mater’s soul rather than his own

The least realistic thing about this? Lightning having working headlights.

There is something oddly calming about the way Thomas speaks

the way he said your God has turned his back on you that's why my tracks keep pushing me gave me chills he's implying he's god

Lightning: “What of the afterlife?” Thomas: *They are all a part of something far greater...*

I love how it's always thomas, it's never any other character from the series, as if every other character is just doing their normal thing like in the series, except thomas being some sort of biblically accurate angel

This' one of my favorite MeatCanyon toons. It's just...really well done and the dialogue is creepy in a good way!

Probably my favourite Meatcanyon vid, the aura it has is just haunting.

Me: WHAT IS THIS VOICE ACTING Meatcanyon: *PERFECTION*

Lightning: Hold on Mater, there's no way any of that actually happened! Mater: Dadgum, you don't remember? You were there too!

This is probably his best video.

This was fucking amazing, you really struck a great balance in this one with the horror and comedy and your writing in this one is great, loved it man

Did anyone else notice the tree in Lightning’s dream? On the right side, the tree is full of lush orange leaves and on the left it’s completely barren. The right side points to the tunnel Thomas emerged from and the left points to the tunnel he exits. Could the tree’s leaves symbolize the souls taken be Thomas?

"Haven't really slept well since then..." Buddy, this is me after every one of MC's videos.

That was honestly beautiful... absolutely loved it. Was mesmerized during the part where the train offers 'Lightning' the bargain... that voice of yours is exquisite. ✌🏻💀🤘🏻

This is actually beautiful. I love it all. Especially the audio to be honest

“There’s nothing to be afraid of now” - he was living in the new life the train gave him. He gave up his soul, and the Thomas has come back to collect it.

Lightning lured Mater out there to offer his soul to Thomas. Lightning didn’t survive the wreck, he did accept Thomas’ deal. That’s why he’s so concerned about nobody knowing that him and Mater are alone in the wilderness.

Now this one made me REALLY scared like no joke this may be one of the only Meatcanyon videos In Havent laughed in. I felt genuine terror watching this

This. I always come back to this video , pondering about things that may be implied. This one got me more than others. I know it's late but thank you @meatcanyon
