Quay Brothers...or something like that

I am look for information on some 1983-1985 stop motion films. Each was about 3-7 minutes each, but extremely...well, the only word I can think of is freaky. They look alot like Tool's earlier videos as in Prison Sex. Does anyone know about these? I believe the people that did it was the Quay Brothers, but I could have been mistaken. Thanks.

The Brothers Quay indeed produced some great stuff and have a decent DVD out with some of their stop motion freakiness:

I've seen these. You used to be able to rent them. Great, creepy, beautifully-made stuff. Influenced a LOT of popular artists of today.

The man responsible for the Sober and Prison Sex "Tool" videos was Fred Stuhr. He hand built every one of the props you saw in those animations. He was on the verge of making his very first solo stop motion animated feature when he was killed in a car wreck. He feel asleep at the wheel and hit a tree in California in fall of 97. With such a limited amount of good stop motion. Jan Svankmajer, Brothers Quay, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc it's an F ing crime he had to die. He was going to be one of the greats.

Just found out Netflix has this DVD, so it's goin on my list next. Thanks.

Damn...he died? That sucks...I was wondering why the Tool videos haven't been as good as they used to. That full length feature would have been so trippy.
