In my opinion The Tap Dancing Man is one of the scariest, most sinister, and disturbing characters created in modern times. The creators of this character and actor portraying him should honestly win some awards and deserve serious recognition.

he was actually a demon called the black hat man. He was that white guy who burned those Black people in the Amish times, and cursed the town so this maestrol character was just that guy actually. Trying to get this family to do fucked up things and be scrutinized and killed by the white people right after segregation. that mixed with what u said. the movie was just unforgettable couldn’t believe what i was seeing and i cant forget it it

@@jayray1495no bro. He isn’t saying that figuratively. This character actually isn’t a real character, he is, in the shows universe, a manifestation of the fathers negative feelings towards himself and white people. Home lander and those other people aren’t villains cause they are white, they are villains because they did villainous things. And they are also real people who did those very real things (in the Columbine example you’re trying to provide). This character in the show didn’t kill any kids or innocent people or anything villainous like that, black or not. He couldn’t have anyway, he isn’t a real character in the world of the show. He was meant to be temptation to get the father to give in to his dark impulses. It’s a not a “keep that energy” kind of thing I think you misunderstood what the other dude was saying that’s all 👍💯

I mean there's a lot of references to minstrelsy in those cartoons and that's precisely what The Tap Dance Man is.

The charm, intimidation, and just the facial contortions reminds me so much of Pennywise. I haven't been this creeped since I was a kid watching the original IT TV movie.

SCP-5046: The Tap Dance Man The Tap Dance Man is a humanoid creature that feeds and gains power off of negative emotions such as grief, rage, and sadness. All personnel within a 100 meter radius are to show now emotion, and not respond to any of his questions. He wears a black suit, and black top hat resembling a 1950s upper class man. All skin is a deep shade of black, with large, white, irregular rings around the eyes and face.He was found in 1963 when a Task Force was sent to retrieve a supernatural anomaly. He uses manipulation and physiological power to throw his victims into a murderous state. If unable to find a victim, he will kill or harm the victims loved ones to lower their mental barriers, allowing him to take control of their mind. Physical attacks do not seem to harm him, and keeping personnel with a high sanity throws him into a state of confusion.
