Troublesome B&W Japanese clip

There's a segment from an old Japanese TV program that keeps getting pulled from YouTube, probably due to copyright complaints. I've never seen any identification for it in English, so I'm hoping someone might be able to tell what the source is so that it can be listed in the ongoing media roster.

An alien presence assembles a body for itself out of mannequin parts, and proceeds to randomly attack people and freeze them into mannequins themselves. During its attacks, the head changes from a reasonably human-looking female face to a cyclops with one giant eye and an evil grin; it also issues a high-pitched "hee hee hee" sound as it transforms people.

Apparently, the stars of the show, an old scientist and a child, corner the creature and drive it into a furnace to destroy it.

Anyone else seen it, can identify where it's from?

I am fairly sure the TV show is called Akuma-Kun. There was an original B&W show, and later anime, and video games.

I've searched for this episode myself, and I have the original clips that are probably the source of the youtube ones. I got them off Shade's Petrification website back when it was around.

I am pretty sure this is the IMDB for the show, but I can't be positive since it doesn't show a picture

I'm also fairly sure the episode in question is between 1 and 8. (Pretty sure it is not one though)

After some playing around with google translate and the like, I've nailed it down. And it's back on YouTube.

It is "AKUMA-KUN" as stated before. It is episode 6. And someone posted the entire episode in two parts in May.


part one: http://youtu.be/WlvcLQhaB_I

part two: http://youtu.be/kvPjjy444g0
