So do any of you remember those Mickey Mouse cartoons from the 1930s? The ones that were

just put out on DVD a few years ago? Well, I hear there is one that was unreleased to even the

most avid classic disney fans.

According to sources, it's nothing special. It's just a continuous loop (like Flinstones) of mickey

walking past 6 buildings that goes on for two or three minutes before fading out. Unlike the

cutesy tunes put in though, the song on this cartoon was not a song at all, just a constantbanging on a piano as if the keys for a minute and a half before going to white noise for the

remainder of the film.

It wasn't the jolly old Mickey we've come to love either, Mickey wasn't dancing, not even

smiling, just kind of walking as if you or I were walking, with a normal facial expression, but for

some reason his head tilted side to side as he kept this dismal look.

Up until a year or two ago, everyone believed that after it cut to black and that was it. When

Leonard Maltin was reviewing the cartoon to be put in the complete series, he decided it was

too junk to be on the DVD, but wanted to have a digital copy due to the fact that it was acreation of Walt. When he had a digitized version up on his computer to look at the file, he

noticed something.

The cartoon was actually 9 minutes and 4 seconds long. This is what my source emailed to me,

in full (he is a personal assistant of one of the higher executives at Disney, and acquaintance of

Mr. Maltin himself):

"After it cut to black, it stayed like that until the 6th minute, before going back into Mickey

walking. The sound was different this time. It was a murmur. It wasn't a language, but more

like a gurgled cry. As the noise got more indistinguishable and loud over the next minute, thepicture began to get weird. The sidewalk started to go in directions that seemed impossible

based on the physics of Mickeys walking. And the dismal face of the mouse was slowly curling

into a smirk.

On the 7th minute, the murmur turned into a bloodcurdling scream (the kind of scream painful

to hear) and the picture was getting more obscure. Colors were happening that shouldn't have

been possible at the time. Mickey face began to fall apart. his eyes rolled on the bottom of his

chin like two marbles in a fishbowl, and his curled smile was pointing upward on the left side of

his face.

The buildings became rubble floating in midair and the sidewalk was still impossibly navigating

in warped directions, a few seeming inconcievable with what we, as humans, know about

direction. Mr. Maltin got disturbed and left the room, sending an employee to finish the video

and take notes of everything happening up until the last second, and afterward immediately

store the disc of the cartoon into the vault. This distorted screaming lasted until 8 minutes and

a few seconds in, and then it abruptly cuts to the mickey mouse face at the credits of the end

of every video with what sounded like a broken music box playing in the background.

This happened for about 30 seconds, and whatever was in that remaining 30 seconds I haven't

been able to get a sliver of information about. From a security guard working under me who

was making rounds outside of that room, I was told that after the last frame, the employee

stumbled out of the room with pale skin saying "Real suffering is not known" 7 times beforespeedily taking the guards pistol and offing himself on the spot.

The thing I could get out of Leonard Maltin was that the last frame was a piece of Russian text

that roughly said "the sights of hell bring its viewers back in". As far as I know, no one else has

seen it, but there have been dozens of attempts at getting the file on rapidshare by employees

inside the studios, all of whom have been promptly terminated of their jobs.

Whether it got online or not is up for debate, but if rumors serve me right, it's online

somewhere under "suicidemouse.avi". If you ever find a copy of the film, I want you to never

view it, and to contact me by phone immediately, regardless of the time. When a Disney Deathis covered up as well as this, it means this has to be something huge.

Get back at me,

The Rugrats really were a figment of Angelica’s Imagination.

Chucky died a long time ago along with this mother, that’s why Chaz is a nervous wreck all the

time.

Tommy was a stillborn, that’s why Stu is constantly in the basement making toys for the son

who never had a chance to live.The DeVilles had an abortion, Angelica couldn’t figure whether it would be a boy or a girl thus

creating the twins

——————————————-

As for “All Grown Up” Angelica was a bipolar schizophrenic who, as a teenager became addicted

to various Narcotics, bringing her back to her childhood and thus her creations she obsessed

over, because of time lapse between the present and the last time she interacted with her


3/54

creations, she made them older, Angelica was constantally taking hits of acid, so she would

never have to live without her creations who were her only company, in a judgemental world

Angelica’s mom actually died of a heroine overdose, Angelica was schizophrenic/bipolar because

she was a crack baby, additionaly Drew in his depression married a gold digging whore, that

Angelica idolized because she fooled herself into thinking it was her real mom, but always had a

concept of her mom, Cynthia, and took a barbie doll, and made it after her mom’s image,wearing an unwashed oranged dress, and having jacked up hair, which is why she was so

attached to it, later in life she followed in her mom footsteps w/ drugs and everything, dieing of

overdose at age 13 when All Grown Up! was “canceled”

The only rugrat not to be fictional however, was unborn Tommy’s brother Dil, however Angelica

didnt know the differace between Dil and her creations, Dil didnt follow her commands, after

endless crying and a refusal to disapear like the others did when angelica was angry with them,

she hit him. And she hit him, screaming a screaching tune, Stu ran in and pulled his neice off of

his only child, but it was too late, he had a brain hemerage, which resulted in a deformation, as

he grew up his damage only became more evident, by the time he was 9 in All Grown Up! He

lived as an outcast, being ridiculed for his weirdness, and retardation, the immense guilt overthis is what led to her drug use and is what led Angelica to un-create the rugrats breifly, until

her expericance w/ hallucinogenics.

On a trip to Paris to find love, Chaz married a hooker named Kira (He was actually going to

marry a differant hooker, but she just wanted him for his money), who had a daughter named

Kimi that was torn from her because she was a cocaine addict (Angelica imagined her from

Kira’s stories), he lost his mind after the death of his wife and was in denial that she was ever

prostitue, upon return to America, Chaz and Kira married and she got her greencard, it was

actually a really happy/romantic story, Kira continually stuggled with addiction, but was

relatively happy w/ her life, and Chaz

Suzie was actually Angelica’s only friend, who entertained the thought of Angelica’s creations,for her, She later became a phycologist and teamed up w/ Nickelodeon to make the Rugrats!

When Angelica died of drug overdose, she helped arrange her funeral, Angelica’s death was

sad, because of her addiction, she was expelled from society, which lead to a break with reality,

and her eventual death, she spent the last days of her life in the back of the school cafeteria,

imagining friends around her, and playing with the lives of her creations

I was an intern at Nickelodeon Studios for a year in 2005 for my degree in animation. It wasn't

paid of course, most internships aren't, but it did have some perks beyond education. To adults

it might not seem like a big one, but most kids at the time would go crazy over it.

Now, since I worked directly with the editors and animators, I got to view the new episodes

days before they aired. I'll get right to it without giving too many unnecessary details. They had

very recently made the SpongeBob movie and the entire staff was somewhat sapped ofcreativity so it took them longer to start up the season. But the delay lasted longer for more

upsetting reasons. There was a problem with the series 4 premiere that set everyone and

everything back for several months.

Me and two other interns were in the editing room along with the lead animators and sound

editors for the final cut. We received the copy that was supposed to be "Fear of a Krabby Patty"

and gathered around the screen to watch. Now, given that it isn't final yet animators often put

up a mock title card, sort of an inside joke for us, with phony, often times lewd titles, such as

"How sex doesn't work" instead of "Rock-a-bye-Bivalve" when SpongeBob and Patrick adopt a

sea scallop. Nothing particularly funny but work related chuckles. So when we saw the title card"Squidward's Suicide" we didn't think it more than a morbid joke.

One of the interns did a small throat laugh at it. The happy-go-lucky music plays as is normal.

The story began with Squidward practicing his clarinet, hitting a few sour notes like normal. We

hear SpongeBob laughing outside and Squidward stops, yelling at him to keep it down as he


5/54

has a concert that night and needs to practice. SpongeBob says okay and goes to see Sandy

with Patrick. The bubbles splash screen comes up and we see the ending of Squidward's

concert. This is when things began to seem off.

While playing, a few frames repeat themselves, but the sound doesn't (at this point sound is

synced up with animation, so, yes, that's not common) but when he stops playing, the sound

finishes as if the skip never happened. There is slight murmuring in the crowd before theybegin to boo him. Not normal cartoon booing that is common in the show, but you could very

clearly hear malice in it. Squidward's in full frame and looks visibly afraid. The shot goes to the

crowd, with SpongeBob in center frame, and he too is booing, very much unlike him. That isn't

the oddest thing, though. What is odd is everyone had hyper realistic eyes. Very detailed.

Clearly not shots of real people's eyes, but something a bit more real than CGI. The pupils were

red. Some of us looked at each other, obviously confused, but since we weren't the writers, we

didn't question its appeal to children yet.

The shot goes to Squidward sitting on the edge of his bed, looking very forlorn. The view out of

his porthole window is of a night sky so it isn't very long after the concert. The unsettling part is

at this point there is no sound. Literally no sound. Not even the feedback from the speakers in

the room. It's as if the speakers were turned off, though their status showed them working

perfectly. He just sat there, blinking, in this silence for about 30 seconds, then he started to sob

softly. He put his hands (tentacles) over his eyes and cried quietly for a full minute more, all the

while a sound in the background very slowly growing from nothing to barely audible. It sounded

like a slight breeze through a forest.

The screen slowly begins to zoom in on his face. By slow I mean it's only noticeable if you lookat shots 10 seconds apart side by side. His sobbing gets louder, more full of hurt and anger.

The screen then twitches a bit, as if it twists in on itself, for a split second then back to normal.

The wind-through-the-trees sound gets slowly louder and more severe, as if a storm is brewing

somewhere. The eerie part is this sound, and Squidward's sobbing, sounded real, as if the

sound wasn't coming from the speakers but as if the speakers were holes the sound was

coming through from the other side. As good as sound as the studio likes to have, they don't

purchase the equipment to be that good to produce sound of that quality.

Below the sound of the wind and sobbing, very faint, something sounded like laughing. It came

at odd intervals and never lasted more than a second so you had a hard time pinning it (wewatched this show twice, so pardon me if things sound too specific but I've had time to think

about them). After 30 seconds of this, the screen blurred and twitched violently and something

flashed over the screen, as if a single frame was replaced.

The lead animation editor paused and rewound frame by frame. What we saw was horrible. It

was a still photo of a dead child. He couldn't have been more than 6. The face was mangled


6/54

and bloodied, one eye dangling over his upturned face, popped. He was naked down to his

underwear, his stomach crudely cut open and his entrails laying beside him. He was laying on

some pavement that was probably a road.

The most upsetting part was that there was a shadow of the photographer. There was no crime

tape, no evidence tags or markers, and the angle was completely off for a shot designed to beevidence. It would seem the photographer was the person responsible for the child's death. We

were of course mortified, but pressed on, hoping that it was just a sick joke.

The screen flipped back to Squidward, still sobbing, louder than before, and half body in frame.

There was now what appeard to be blood running down his face from his eyes. The blood was

also done in a hyper realistic style, looking as if you touched it you'd get blood on your fingers.

The wind sounded now as if it were that of a gale blowing through the forest; there were even

snapping sounds of branches. The laughing, a deep baritone, lasting at longer intervals and

coming more frequently. After about 20 seconds, the screen again twisted and showed a single

frame photo.

The editor was reluctant to go back, we all were, but he knew he had to. This time the photo

was that of what appeared to be a little girl, no older than the first child. She was laying on her

stomach, her barrettes in a pool of blood next to her. Her left eye was too popped out and

popped, naked except for underpants. Her entrails were piled on top of her above another

crude cut along her back. Again the body was on the street and the photographer's shadow

was visible, very similar in size and shape to the first. I had to choke back vomit and one intern,

the only female in the room, ran out. The show resumed.

About 5 seconds after this second photo played, Squidward went silent, as did all sound, like itwas when this scene started. He put his tentacles down and his eyes were now done in hyper

realism like the others were in the beginning of this episode. They were bleeding, bloodshot,

and pulsating. He just stared at the screen, as if watching the viewer. After about 10 seconds,

he started sobbing, this time not covering his eyes. The sound was piercing and loud, and most

fear inducing of all is his sobbing was mixed with screams.

Tears and blood were dripping down his face at a heavy rate. The wind sound came back, and

so did the deep voiced laughing, and this time the still photo lasted for a good 5 frames.

The animator was able to stop it on the 4th and backed up. This time the photo was of a boy,about the same age, but this time the scene was different. The entrails were just being pulled

out from a stomach wound by a large hand, the right eye popped and dangling, blood trickling

down it. The animator proceeded. It was hard to believe, but the next one was different but we

couldn't tell what. He went on to the next, same thing. He want back to the first and played

them quicker and I lost it. I vomited on the floor, the animating and sound editors gasping at

the screen. The 5 frames were not as if they were 5 different photos, they were played out as if


7/54

they were frames from a video. We saw the hand slowly lift out the guts, we saw the kid's eyes

focus on it, we even saw two frames of the kid beginning to blink.

The lead sound editor told us to stop, he had to call in the creator to see this. Mr. Hillenburg

arrived within about 15 minutes. He was confused as to why he was called down there, so the

editor just continued the episode. Once the few frames were shown, all screaming, all soundagain stopped. Squidward was just staring at the viewer, full frame of the face, for about 3

seconds. The shot quickly panned out and that deep voice said "DO IT" and we see in

Squidward's hands a shotgun. He immediately puts the gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger.

Realistic blood and brain matter splatters the wall behind him, and his bed, and he flies back

with the force. The last 5 seconds of this episode show his body on the bed, on his side, one

eye dangling on what's left of his head above the floor, staring blankly at it. Then the episode

ends.

Mr. Hillenburg is obviously angry at this. He demanded to know what the heck was going on.

Most people left the room at this point, so it was just a handful of us to watch it again. Viewingthe episode twice only served to imprint the entirety of it in my mind and cause me horrible

nightmares. I'm sorry I stayed.

The only theory we could think of was the file was edited by someone in the chain from the

drawing studio to here. The CTO was called in to analyze when it happened. The analysis of the

file did show it was edited over by new material. However, the timestamp of it was a mere 24

seconds before we began viewing it. All equipment involved was examined for foreign software

and hardware as well as glitches, as if the time stamp may have glitched and showed thewrong time, but everything checked out fine. We don't know what happened and to this day

nobody does.

There was an investigation due to the nature of the photos, but nothing came of it. No child

seen was identified and no clues were gathered from the data involved nor physical clues in the

photos. I never believed in unexplainable phenomena before, but now that I have something

happen and can't prove anything about it beyond anecdotal evidence, I think twice about

things.

Dead Bart

You know how Fox has a weird way of counting Simpsons episodes? They refuse to count a

couple of them, making the amount of episodes inconsistent. The reason for this is a lost

episode from season 1.

Finding details about this missing episode is difficult, no one who was working on the show at

the time likes to talk about it. From what has been pieced together, the lost episode was

written entirely by Matt Groening. During production of the first season, Matt started to act

strangely. He was very quiet, seemed nervous and morbid. Mentioning this to anyone who was

present results in them getting very angry, and forbidding you to ever mention it to Matt. The

episode’s production number was 7G44, the title was Dead Bart.

In addition to getting angry, asking anyone who was on the show about this will cause them to

do everything they can to stop you from directly communicating with Matt Groening. At a fanevent, I managed to follow him after he spoke to the crowd, and eventually had a chance to

talk to him alone as he was leaving the building. He didn’t seem upset that I had followed him,

probably expected a typical encounter with an obsessive fan. When I mentioned the lost

episode though, all color drained from his face and he started trembling. When I asked him if

he could tell me any details, he sounded like he was on the verge of tears. He grabbed a piece

of paper, wrote something on it, and handed it to me. He begged me never to mention the

episode again.

The piece of paper had a website address on it, I would rather not say what it was, for reasons

you’ll see in a second. I entered the address into my browser, and I came to a site that wascompletely black, except for a line of yellow text, a download link. I clicked on it, and a file

started downloading. Once the file was downloaded, my computer went crazy, it was the worst

virus I had ever seen. System restore didn’t work, the entire computer had to be rebooted.

Before doing this though, I copied the file onto a CD. I tried to open it on my now empty

computer, and as I suspected, there was an episode of The Simpsons on it.

The episode started off like any other episode, but had very poor quality animation. If you’ve

seen the original animation for Some Enchanted Evening, it was similar, but less stable. The

first act was fairly normal, but the way the characters acted was a little off. Homer seemed

angrier, Marge seemed depressed, Lisa seemed anxious, Bart seemed to have genuine angerand hatred for his parents.

The episode was about the Simpsons going on a plane trip, near the end of the first act, the

plane was taking off. Bart was fooling around, as you’d expect. However, as the plane was

about 50 feet off the ground, Bart broke a window on the plane and was sucked out.


9/54

At the beginning of the series, Matt had an idea that the animated style of the Simpsons’ world

represented life, and that death turned things more realistic. This was used in this episode. The

picture of Bart’s corpse was barely recognizable, they took full advantage of it not having to

move, and made an almost photo-realistic drawing of his dead body.

Act one ended with the shot of Bart’s corpse. When act two started, Homer, Marge, and Lisawere sitting at their table, crying. The crying went on and on, it got more pained, and sounded

more realistic, better acting than you would think possible. The animation started to decay even

more as they cried, and you could hear murmuring in the background. This crying went on for

all of act two.

Act three opened with a title card saying one year had passed. Homer, Marge, and Lisa were

skeletally thin, and still sitting at the table. There was no sign of Maggie or the pets.

They decided to visit Bart’s grave. Springfield was completely deserted, and as they walked to

the cemetery the houses became more and more decrepit. They all looked abandoned. Whenthey got to the grave, Bart’s body was just lying in front of his tombstone, looking just like it did

at the end of act one.

The family started crying again. Eventually they stopped, and just stared at Bart’s body. The

camera zoomed in on Homer’s face. According to summaries, Homer tells a joke at this part,

but it isn’t audible in the version I saw, you can’t tell what Homer is saying.

The view zoomed out as the episode came to a close. The tombstones in the background had

the names of every Simpsons guest star on them. Some that no one had heard of in 1989,

some that haven’t been on the show yet. All of them had death dates on them. For guests whodied since, like Michael Jackson and George Harrison, the dates were when they would die.

You can try to use the tombstones to predict the death of living Simpsons guest stars, but

there’s something odd about most of the ones who haven’t died yet. All of their deaths are

listed as the same date.

PINGU: Lost Episode "has anyone remembered the children clay show PINGU the Penguin"

Most people grew up with a happy little show called Pingu. Pingu was a show that had a clay

penguin named Pingu and it showed his adventures. The characters spoke some sort of

penguin language.

The original show ran from 1986 to 1998. There were apparently two unreleased episodes that

were later released a year later.


10/54

Now, this is where it starts becoming curious. When I was 5, or 6, I saw the beginning of a

Pingu episode called “Pingu’s Punishment”. I only saw a bit of it, but what I remember was

Pingu was very angry, and his mother began smashing plates. I also remember the episode was

about Pingu playing outside when he was supposed to be doing chores. My mother came in at

the plate smashing part, shut off the TV, and told me that dinner was ready.

I was looking at the episode list on Wikipedia to find that no episode called “Pingu’s

Punishment” was released.

I thought this as an adventure to myself, and I contacted Trickfilmstudio, the company that

made Pingu. I asked them for a complete production guide of Pingu. They sent it to me via

mail.

I looked at it, compared it to Wikipedia’s list, and I noticed something was wrong with the final

series. “Pingu Helps Grandfather”, which was the 23rd episode of series 4, was missing. At the

bottom of the list was an episode titled “Pingu Ending”. I asked for a synopsis, but they refusedto give me one, stating it was personal information.

I then googled “Pingu Ending- Unreleased” and “Pingu’s Punishment”. Then, I found something.

It was on rapidshare. The file’s name was “Pingu Punishment Unreleased Last Episode.zip”, and

I downloaded it. AutoPlay came up, and I viewed the folder. It contained two files. One was a

notepad file. It was titled “fear.txt”, I opened it. It read:

This is an unreleased episode from Pingu, dated 1998. They originally planned to end the

series, and this was actually aired in some countries. Watch at your own risk.

I began to feel a bit suspicious and my heart pounded. But my curiousity overtook me. I

opened the second file, and avi file.

The first part was the same episode I saw when I was a kid. However, something felt off. The

theme song was disorted, and instead of Pingu’s usual “meep meep”, there was backwards

audio. I recorded it with Sound Recorder, and it played “you can’t survive like this beyond

death”. I found that very creepy, but continued with the video. I got to the part where Pingu’s

mother was smashing plates. Suddenly, it cut to black. A blood curdling scream was heard. It

faded back to the kitchen. Pingu’s mother was sitting on a stool crying. Only it sounded real.

She began crying and it started to sound like laughing. Suddenly it cut to Pinga. Pinga was lyingdown on the floor. Her head was ripped off. I paused it there. I felt sick. But what made me

sick more was it wasn’t clay blood. It either was food colouring, or it was real.

I continued it. Pingu’s mother began crying. Suddenly, it cut to a black and white video of two

scientists going into a slaughterhouse. It showed a bunch of cows getting slaughtered.

Suddenly, it showed a penguin on the conveyor belt. The crushers crushed the penguin to


11/54

pieces. It began showing pictures of dead penguins. It cut back to Pingu’s mother crying. A

trampoline was in the kitchen. There was also a fan. She jumped up to the fan, and blood

splattered everywhere. The body of Pingu’s mother fell down. It showed pictu res of the dead

bodies of Pingu, Robby, and the other characters. An old music box playing “Hush, Little Baby”

faintly played. I paused it to go to the bathroom to vomit. I felt really nauseous and sick after

witnessing what I just watched. I continued the video. A disorted voice said somethingbackwards. I recorded it and played it reverse. It said “Your life will be all pitch black in a few

seconds. You must be smart enough to play this backwards, becaause you’re stupid enough to

believe me”. My chest pounded. The credits were in Times New Roman. The background

continued to show the disturbing images. It closed with a picture of a mask with red eyes. The

mask suddenly said in the disorted voice: “Darkness begins now”.

Suddenly, my computer froze. Then, the lights flickered, and the power went out. The power

came back a few seconds later.

I was now shaking, and I wanted to find the source of the film.

I got in contact with Carlo Bonomi, the voice of all the characters. I pretended it was an

interview, and I talked about Pingu. I finally mentioned “Pingu’s Punishment”. He stopped, and

he asked where I had heard that before. I explained the entire thing to him. He then told me

the story.

During the 1998 season of Pingu, there was an writer/animator named Ted Goldman. Ted was

a quiet man, who usually wasn’t that sociable. Sometime during the middle of the season, Ted’s

mother had been trying to reach something from the upper shelf. The ceiling fan was still on.

She got decapitated. Ted was immidiately hurt by this. He began submitting morbid ideas, suchas Pingu killing all the other characters. He even asked Bonomi to do a voice of Pingu dying.

Goldman found out that Pingu was closing production at the end of the season. Ted passed off

the episode as the season finale. Right after they had watched the episode, they discovered

Ted was being charged with animal cruelty, beastiality, and murder. Ted left an apparent

suicide note claiming he was going to live in Antarcitca. However, no records claim he was ever

there; and he was last spotted in Santa Barbara, California purchasing a gun. They never found

him.

I became shocked. Then a thought occured to me to play the entire episode backwards,

starting from the part before the disorted voice. I heard a scream, a shout, and a very eerievoice that said something that still haunts me and plagues me to this day:

“The only way out of this hell is suicide”.

Courage The Cowardly Dog Explained

Everyone here loves Courage, but who exactly is he? He’s a scared dog that does whatever he

can to protect his home, Nowhere.

Where is Nowhere? Is it the place where there is nothing? No one? No hope? Hell?

Courage protects his home and makes sure no one harms Muriel. His master sits in his chair

and hates everything and everyone. Whenever something evil comes to attack or rule over

Nowhere, Courage fights back. He keeps Muriel safe and Eustace’s home from being destroyed.

Muriel always sees a new head on Courage whenever something evil comes to warn her, giving

him multiple heads.

Courage will forever stay in Nowhere (Hell) to protect his home, keep Muriel (humanity) safe

from evil (Le Quack (greed), Fred (murder), Katz (hate), etc). His master, Eustace (Satan), will

rule over and hate all that is Nowhere (Hell).

He is stuck in the middle of Hell and loves his home. He is Cerberus, our courageous, cowardly

dog.

Scooby-Doo Lost Episode

Okay, so I haven’t talked about this in a very long time. This happened to me when I was ten

or eleven.

My dad had bought us a Scooby-Doo VHS tape of an episode which I can’t fully recall. All I can

remember that it was about a little girl’s ghost haunting a whole town. Our parents didn’t go

out very much, since my brother suffers from asthma and they were very protective of him, but

one night they had this important party thing and decided to call a babysitter.

I remember getting upset and telling them that I was old enough to take care of my brother,

but they didn’t listen. They left us with this freckly 15-year old neighbour girl called Amanda or

something. Before leaving, Dad gave us the tape, which got us pretty excited, as it would be

the first time Dad let us use the VHS player. After they left, we all noticed that the tape was

kind of weird; the art on the cover looked hand-made somehow. Scooby looked REALLY

terrified and the ghost girl was really creepy. I remember Amanda calling my dad a weirdo for

buying such a thing for us, but I assume he just picked up the first tape he saw.

I also remember that Amanda didn’t want to play the tape, but after my brother and I insisted

for almost an hour, we finally sat in front of the TV to watch the thing. The episode itself was

kind of boring; there were almost no jokes and it wasn’t that scary, but I do remember being

surprised that the ghost from the cover didn’t look at all like the one in the video. I don’t really

remember the plot of the episode; I guess it was pretty much the usual, and Amanda would

repeat ‘stupid show’ every five minutes.

Close to the end, when they got the ghost and were about to unmask her, something weird

happened. All of the Scooby-Doo gang stopped talking and looked at the camera with a really

sad and serious look on their faces. They stared at us for a very long time in silence; even the

background music had stopped. The only person not looking at us was the ghost girl, but she

suddenly lifted her head and stared at the camera with her terrible eyes wide open. The final

credits came abruptly after that. We all stared at the TV without saying a word until the tape

finally stopped. We were shocked.

My brother looked at us and said something like, “Shit…I can’t believe Shaggy died. This is so


14/54

fucked up.” We both looked at him, confused, and Amanda asked what he was talking about.

He insisted that it was stupid to kill a character and then bring him back to life in the next

episode. She got really nervous and told him that Shaggy didn’t get killed, that the ghost girl

disappeared right after they caught her and the episode finished with the whole gang scared to

death. Nothing made any sense; I couldn’t understand a thing. When I told them what I saw,

Amanda freaked out. She said at least ten times that it wasn’t funny and left our house, pissedoff and, I assume, scared to her bones like we were.

After discussing for at least half an hour, we decided to put the tape in and watch it again. We

turned all the lights on and pushed rewind. The thing is, when we got to the part when they get

the girl, the episode suddenly ends. Nothing happens. They get the girl and there is no

unmasking, no killing, and no staring. It just ends there. We stopped the tape and ran to our

room. My brother had an asthma attack and I stayed by his bed crying and praying he wouldn’t

die. Eventually, we fell asleep. The next morning, my brother started acting like nothing

happened. After insisting for about two days, he told me he never wanted to talk about it again,

and that was it.

Damn. I think I actually never told anyone about this. It feels good to share it

Phineas' Suicide

It started off just like any other summer day for a teenager; waking up in the mid-to-late

afternoon, stumbling out of bed, finding something to eat in the kitchen, and then finding

something to waste my time on. I was on my PS3 on Netflix watching "That 70s Show" whenmy little sister ran in to me asking if she could play with me. I said sure, and suggested I find

something we could both watch together, and she nodded with excitement.

I searched around for a bit looking for a kid-friendly show or movie that I didn't mind to watch

until I got to "Phineas and Ferb". My sister and I watch this show together sometimes, and I

actually find it quite funny, especially for a show aimed at younger kids.

I selected it, and it automatically played the first episode. My sister and I got through about six

episodes, and then she fell asleep on me. I carried her to her room so she could nap without

me disturbing her and returned to my room. I plopped down on my bed and grabbed the PS3

controller to select the next episode, because I was honestly enjoying it.

After it had ended, I went back to the screen where you could select which episode you wanted

to view, and I saw one at the very bottom of the list. It was just a pound symbol and a

question mark like so "#?" which was strange, because on the list it normally showed the

number of the episode, the title, and how long the episode was. But there was nothing but the

"#?". Out of curiousity, I selected it. Which was something I will regret for the rest of my life.

It started out with the catchy theme song, nothing out of the ordinary. The animation was very

poor though, almost as if it were a pilot or something of the sort. But then, the episode itself

faded in. Normally, it would chime in with a brief upbeat guitar, but this time there was silence.

The camera panned down from pointing up at the sky to Phineas and Ferb sitting under a tree,as the episodes sometimes did. Instead of the normal happy, or at least neutral, expressions on

their face, there was a terrifyingly sinister look on Ferb's face, (which creeped me out so badly,

I couldn't look for very long) and a look of absolute pain on Phineas'.

They sat in silence for a good minute and a half, and the camera slowly zoomed into Phineas.

His face started to warp, and then return to normal. There were tears welling up in his eyes,

and he fell over letting out heavy sobs. The audio alternated between fuzzy and normal. The

sobs didn't sound cartoon-like at all...they sounded like they were legitimate, as if something

truly terrible had happened. They got louder and louder, until it got so unbearable that I had to

grab my remote and turn it down.

I continued to watch, though I didn't want to. It was like a car wreck, I just couldn't look away

from the screen. For a good bit of time, my eyes met those of Ferb's. I couldn't break the stare,

it was as if he was looking INTO me. I felt uneasy, as if I were actually being watched. My

stomach was clenching as if it were preparing to empty it's contents. That face...it took under a

minute to etch itself into my brain for good.


16/54

The stare was finally broken when the camera panned out to where they were both visible.

Phineas started screaming "WHY?" while he pounded the ground with his fist over and over

again. Ferb remained silent while the sinister look on his face became more and more

terrifying.The frame abruptly changed to a shot of Phineas hanging by a noose from the tree.

As soon as the frame showed up, there was a terrible screaching sound. His eyes were still half-open and bloodshot, and the rope was slightly swinging back and forth. Ferb was in the exact

same spot...unmoved. Ferb started to laugh, but the laugh had no audio, only the screaching

was heard. The shot lost color and warped as Ferb continued to laugh.

The episode ended.

I had no idea what I had just watched. There were tears in my eyes because I was so

frightened. I went to get my mom to show her, but when I tried to re-play the episode, it acted

as if it was going to load, but redirected to the home screen. I tried for easily ten minutes to

get it to play, but I had no luck. My mom told me I was being ridiculous, and left. I tried to findit the next day, but the "#?" was nowhere to be found.

It's been 4 weeks now, and I've been having terribly violent nightmares ever since. I've also

heard voices, and have been having hallucinations. I've talked to a couple psychologists and

counselors, but they all say it's due to stress. I don't believe them. It has something to do with

the episode. I don't know why it would have been there, or why I seem to be the only one who

has seen it, but it has truly messed me up. I still have Ferb's face in my mind.

Cry Baby Lane

In 1999, I was twenty-two and I had just graduated from Emerson University in downtown

Boston, majoring in screenwriting, specifically in cartoons and children’s programming. My debt

was pretty bad, so when Nickelodeon Studios offered me an internship at the studio in

California, I accepted immediately. I jumped at the chance to get away from dead end job at

Benjamin Franklin tour guide.

Many of you ask to see Cry Baby Lane but if you want to see the original Cry Baby Lane, you

never will, even if Nickelodeon somehow consents to releasing it to you. You won’t be seeing

what was shown on TV, and you sure as fuck won’t be seeing the original that Lauer made.

I don’t even think Nickelodeon HAS the original cut of the movie anymore, and if they do it’s in

only back-up copies; if the back-up copies exist they must be locked away in some vault along

with all the deleted episodes of Ren And Stimpy and the never-before-mentioned episodes of


17/54

Spongebob Squarepants. I’m pretty sure the director, Peter Lauer, has the original copy and it’s

probably on his mantle next to his snuff films, that creepy ass fuck.

Anyway, I was hired in 1999 and immediately I was put on a creative production team for the

movie Cry Baby lane. It would be almost a year before the movie was due to be broadcast; all

in all, it was a pretty low effort kind of thing. There were only four people on the creative teamand I was the only steady one; Lauer would replace them on a whim. He said it was to keep it

fresh. I thought it was because he was hiding something... and I was right.

We had a little over a year to make a made for TV movie - not just to write it and cast it but to

film it and get it edited. Lauer didn’t work fast at all; after the first three weeks we only had the

ideas for the first 15 minutes of a 85 minute movie. Lauer, even at this point, was a weirdo. He

was tall and lanky, and he carried himself awkwardly - he stuttered when he talked and

sometimes, when you were hunched over a piece of paper during those endless ‘brainstorming

sessions,’ you’d look up and you'd catch him staring at you, smiling.

He’d look away when you caught his eye, and I guess that was the creepiest part; he always

looked like he had something to hide. The brainstorm sessions, at first, were alright. We got the

premise of it down pat: two brothers unleash a demon and they get into mischief trying to get

everything back to normal. Not exactly daytime Emmy stuff, but you know, it was an alright

start. I thought the movie should be goofy and spooky, kind of like a Courage the Cowardly dog

sort of deal. However, from the very beginning, Lauer made it clear that he wanted the film to

be as scary as possible. He didn’t want it to be cheap thrills, with a good wholesome ending. He

wanted to push it farther than Are You Afraid of The Dark ever dreamed of... and I guess he

did.

It was about 3 weeks into production when I first noticed something: Lauer had the absolute

power of persuasion over everyone else in the creative production team. No one fought him

and by the third week, he was already suggesting some morbid things. I remember he said he

wanted the the little brother to die halfway through the movie, getting hit with a dump truck. I

immediately shot it down. I was the only one who said anything, and it stayed that was until I

left the studio entirely and never came back.

At first, cannibalism and other fucked up shit was kept to jokes and tasteless comments but as

time went on, it became more and more overt. I’d give him an idea idea (which most of the

time he would end up using) like “How about the movie starts with a morbid undertaker whoreads them stories,” to which he’d reply, “Yeah...and then he can cut them up into little pieces

and force-feed them to his dog!” He made those jokes a few times in the early stages. Then he

got serious.

He’d stand up like he was Jesus or something, clear his throat loudly, and proclaim his idea. I’d

be the only one to shoot it down. Every-fucking-time.


18/54

One day near the end of our brainstorming sessions, Lauer cleared his voice and stood up. We

all fell silent, and looked at him, like we normally would. He stood up, and said,

“Gentlemen and females, I have an idea.”

I remember what he did —he paused, and looked right at me as he said,

“The story will revolve around the legend of a pair of Siamese twins. Have you ever heard of

the Donner Party?”

Everyone nodded, except for me. I didn’t like where the conversation was going.

“They ate themselves when it got cold. They ate each other.”

Everyone nodded again. I closed my eyes.

“What would Siamese twins do if they had nothing to eat? Would one wait until the other twin

dies, then consume her own sister’s flesh? Would they claw out each other's eyes until one of

them died, then dine upon them like a vulture tearing at the skin of a dead deer? I do not

know. It is interesting indeed.”

I didn’t know what the fuck I was hearing. I opened my eyes and looked around the room; no

one was fucking moving. Everyone’s eyes were on Lauer except for mine, and when I looked at

him, he was still staring at me.

“Children like violence, they revel in it. Children like to be scared. So we’ll scare them, won't we,Jonny?” He leaned over the table, getting pretty damn close to my face. His breath smelt like

decaying shit. I stared back at him.

“I think you're fucked up, to be honest.”

He smiled, then backed away.

“Oh, I’m fucked up alright, but you have to be fucked up to survive in this cut-throat world!” His

grin expanded.

“Literally. Right now, I’m going to show you some pictures that will spark some of your

imaginations.”

He got up, and locked the door from the inside.

I stood up, and said, “What the fuck are you doing?”


19/54

“Let’s not make any... errors in judgement, Jonathan. Sit down.”

“No-”

“Sit.”

For some reason, I did; Lauer pulled out one of those shitty overhead projectors. He turned on

the switch and he speak-shouted, in a unusually high and semi-frantic voice,

“This is the fucking MUSE we NEED to CONTINUE with THIS PRO-FUCKING-DUCTION!

THIS IS WHAT EVERY CHILD SHOULD SEE.”

His eyes bulged in his head.

He put the image down on the glass surface of the overhead.

It was silent.

The image was in black and white, but it was grainy. I could vaguely make out a boy lying on a

brick floor, his arms cut off and his bloody little nub black dots. The only thing that was clear

was his face. He was bleeding from the mouth.

Lauer almost threw the paper off the overhead, slamming down another one.

It was a zoomed-in shot of the boy's face. It was in color. The blood trickled from his openmouth onto the brick floor, his eyes shut, grimy blood underneath his eyebrows and eyelashes.

Then, his eyes opened, and I screamed. No one else in the fucking room did, and it died in

infancy, the shrillness ringing in the air.

The pupils were completely black. The rest of the eye was normal.

The longer I stared, the more the eyes opened, widening and widening untill it looked like the

skin above his eyebrows and eye sockets was going to rip in half.

Then they started to bleed. Blood started as a trickle, and I swear to god I could hear it. More,

now it was like a full blown stream. More. More, until the brick on the floor was a lake of blood.

I could hear it, like I was hiking and I came across a stream, and now I could smell the kid. I

could fucking smell his rot.

I leaned underneath the table and vomited. When I rose back up, the images were gone.


20/54

Everyone else in the room was expressionless. Lauer turned on the lights.

“You may go,” he said, unlocking the door.

I walked through those fucking doors, and I never came back.

This happened near the end of the brainstorming process and by the time I left the casting was

done and the script was almost fully written. They were desperately behind schedule; I think

Lauer planned it that way, so there wouldn’t be time for proper editing. I never watched the

real thing when it aired, but I heard from a friend who was working at the editing department

that they had to cut a good 15-20 minutes of ‘disturbing’ footage from the film before it was fit

to be released, and it was only fit to be released. They didn’t have enough time to check the

footage frame by frame.

I guess he got his wish, unless they cut every single scene that had the pictures in them. Every

child watching Crybaby Lane has an unconscious memory of those pictures, and I weep forthem, I really do; they fucked me up, and as I write this to you, it will be last thing I’ll ever

write before I slit my throat and before blood spatters all over this fucking computer screen.

There’s something I should tell you first, though.

Early on, Lauer posed an idea of the two brothers capturing a squirrel, putting said squirrel in a

jar, and slowly drowning it before filling the jar with sand and dropping it into the bottom of a

pond. Soon after this was suggested, Sandy from Spongebob Squarepants appeared in ‘Tea at

The Treedome.’

Lauer also suggested, in one scene of the movie, for a man with a ‘squid-like-nose’ to take off

his pants in front of the two boys and rape them off camera, but heavily implied. Squidward

soon appeared as a major character in Spongebob Squarepants.

It was suggested that the two be stepbrothers, forced to live in the same house after the first

one’s mom was found dead in a shallow grave, her body heavily cannibalized by her own

husband, a local weatherman. A show with the vaguely premise, Drake and Josh, started in

2004, and the step-father is indeed a weatherman.

Lauer also suggested the younger brother have a dog house in which he keeps various animalfetuses incased in acid that he regularly uses to poison his mother to have sex with his abusive

stepfather. As Told By Ginger debuted soon after.

A man who captures the soles of children in a vacuum cleaner and sends them to Hades?

Danny Phantom.


21/54

A robot who goes insane on the two brothers, kills one of them wears his skin, pretending to be

the dead brother at highschool? My Life As a Teenage Robot.

The list goes on and on. Nickelodeon knows, and they’re continuing the legacy of Lauer,

sometimes subtly, and sometimes overtly. And there’s nothing you and I can do about it.

Tom and Jerry - Suffering

Tom and Jerry is one of the most popular cartoon series to ever exist. Alongside Looney Tunes

it is safe to say almost everyone has heard of the cast of Tom and Jerry - especially the titular


27/54

cat and mouse duo which made the show what it is.

I've watched every Tom and Jerry cartoon imaginable, even a few most people probably never

even heard about - there is one episode however not even I have seen, an episode that was

never aired. Now I bet you're asking "Well then, how do you even know about this episode?".

The answer is quite simple, my cousin claims to have seen it due to links with online piracy and

so forth (which I can not condone but, hey, I can't very well control the actions of my cousincan I?).

The following story is what my cousin told me and to be frank you can take from it what you

will... maybe he was making it up or maybe there was some truth in it... at any rate it will likely

raise a few eyebrows, it sure did when I told it to my friends...

It began, my cousin claims, one night when he was on the computer - one of his friends sent

him a pirated version of a supposedly unaired Tom and Jerry episode named "Suffering": my

cousin was skeptical of this and played it expecting a hoax.

Instead what he got was the traditional Tom and Jerry intro, which cut to a red screen with the

text Suffering printed in bold.

The screen faded to show Tom sitting alone in what appeared to be an abandoned house,

looking rather ill and dejected - he just sat there for a few minutes in silence before he got to

his feet and slowly made his way over to a nearby wall.

Tom stared at the mouse hole in the wall for a few more minutes as the camera shifted,

zooming into the mouse hole and revealing Jerry in his little matchbox "bed" - the camera

zooming in on the mouse, who lay motionless with his eyes closed as if asleep.

Jerry's fur was lighter than usual and everything was silent - in stark contrast to the usual chaos

of the cartoon.

The camera once again zoomed out to show Tom standing outside the mouse hole, the cat

suddenly breaking down on the spot as he cried bitterly and fell to his knees: banging on the

wall repeatedly.

The camera zoomed back to Jerry, still laying in the little match-box bed: Tom banging on the

wall outside as Jerry remained absolutely still.

The scene then faded to black and a message appeared reading:

"Life is fleeting and it is not until it is gone that friends truly understand... years of arguing

come to an end... petty squabbling... pointless suffering... now it is too late... you had your

chance... you are alone..."


28/54

My cousin claims that's where it ended and he felt a deep sense of despair in his heart which he

says never really went away, even today he claims to feel that same sense of despair - as if

someone or something had taken away his sense of meaning.

I asked my cousin to show me the episode but he said he wouldn't want me to feel the way hedid and refused, in some ways that made me kind of doubtful at first... though now, looking

back, I feel he genuinely didn't want to share whatever he experienced with me...

The rest I shall leave for you to decide.

Courage the Cowardly Dog - Banned Episode

Yes, I am aware that every single episode of Courage the Cowardly dog is purposely disturbing

but this episode was so messed up it was only aired once.

I don't remember the exact date, but it was at least five years ago I remember seeing an

episode of Courage the Cowardly dog on cartoon network that was way too violent to be shown

on kids programs.

The episode begins with Courage waking up, stretching then walking downstairs to find Eustace

is sleeping on his chair, meanwhile Murial is cooking, Courage yawns then there's a knock onthe door.

Its a mountain goat wearing a top hat and monocle, "Good' day fine dog, may I stay for a

night, I require rest for my big day." Murial comes to the door but the goat comes in before

anything is said.


29/54

Eustace has now awoken and is complaining at the goat, the goat simply says "Fuck you."

Which I was rather shocked about, I paused it for a second before listening again.

Courage is already suspicious as the goat goes upstairs into the bedroom, Courage follows him,

and the goat starts chanting continuously then a axe appears on the floor and the goat picks itup then disappears, Courage does his usual scream then runs down stairs.

But when he reaches down stairs he looks out of the window to see that its night already,

Murial and Eustace were now sleeping, then Courage grabs them by their hand and drags them

into the cellar, then pulls out a giant lock, then locks and chains up the door.

A cockerel is heard and all of a sudden its morning, the goat suddenly appears behind Courage

and says "Its my big day!"

Courage gulps and suddenly the goat starts chasing everyone with the axe, Eustace awakesand shouts "Fucking dog and goat."

Then he tries to kick the goat but the goat ends up chopping of his foot, Eustace falls down and

lets just say, what the goat did was not pretty but it ended up chopping of Eustace's head!

Then the screen went static and the whole show stopped. I figured Cartoon Network had

managed to stop it from being aired.

The Looney Tunes Show

The following entries were found from a journal of a guy who was nuked to death. His name is

not mentioned to protect his identity.

June 4th, 2011 As a kid, I loved the Looney Tunes, it was my favorite show. And hearing of the

remake "The Looney Tunes Show", I didn't know what to think. It looked like the jokes were

lame, the plots were rushed, and nothing like the original. The first episode I watched was a

pretty good one, the one with Bugs and Lola. The next day, I was sent a message by a friend,

who shared my interests. It was a link to a video, and the message said "Only a true fan can

handle their twisted versions.". I didn't know what to think. As I got to the video, it was

flagged. I said "OK.", and signed in. I noticed something odd, the views were only 6, so how

could it of been inappropriate? Who knows.

When it got to the video, it was black for 5 seconds, then it cut to Bugs and Daffy's house. They

were moving around, as if they were talking, but they said nothing, their mouths were not even

moving. Then I noticed a anonymous mask in the window, it was emotionless. The sky was also

black, representing night. They kept moving, simulating that they were speaking, and making

gestures. Their was also a sound, like a reversed electric guitar note, and it kept playing

throughout the whole thing. Then I saw two people, they were both white, female teenagers,

who were gagged. Then I saw both of them shaking, as if they were laughing, then the two

girls were set on fire, but they weren't cartoon looking, they were the real deal. Then they

started shaking faster, as if they were sped up. Then it cut to bugs, who's mouth was gone.

Then it cut to Daffy's face, and it was weird. If you have seen the end of suicide mouse, where

Mickey's face was white, it was like that. He was also rocking his head forward, like he was

head banging. Then it cut to Bugs, whom was covering his mouth, eyes were black, and his

ears were drooped, and I mean impossibly, un-realistically drooped. Then I heard some piano


31/54

music, it was odd though, it didn't seem as if it fitted, and it was just... off. Then Daffy, looked

angry, as if his family had just been killed.

Then it cut to Bugs, who was now speaking, but he was still covering his mouth, which I saw

green substance smearing around his hands, escaping, his eyes were now invisible, same dealwith his ears. Then Daffy, was designed differently, his beak was gone, and replaced with a

simple slap-on mouth, his eyes were also slanted, as if they were Asian. Then it cut to bug who

was now shaking, violently. His face was gone, and it had a hint of red to it. The episode then

had dialogue, but the video was replaced of a text. "If only you knew the power, that one

human can be capable of." I did a small laugh, because this obviously had nothing to do with

the show so far, then my speakers exploded with sound, even when I muted them, they were

still making noise. Then the dialogue returned, but one flaw, it was reversed. So I recorded the

video, reversed it, and this is what it said.

Bugs: Nobody realizes, that one man, can destroy the world.

Daffy: Humans are just to cowardly. All these nukes, all this power, and they just waste it.

Muffled Screaming*

Bugs: Do you think we should end these sad, pitiful lives?

Daffy: Of course!

Crackling*

Fire*

Bugs: And we were cartoon legends.Daffy: Hah!

Screaming*

Both: *Laughing*

Then it ended. A notification popped up saying that the internet had to be closed. I then went

back to history, everything was gone. My computer then shut off in like 2 seconds. Then it

turned back on in 2 seconds. Every single thing on my computer, was gone. Then the floor

started to rumble, it was a earthquake. Countless hours later, the news said that Kentucky was

nuked... and I live in Florida. It is unknown who did it, but it was related to the video.

June 5th, 2011

Today I was just walking around town, finding that I had some change left, and since I was

getting thirsty, i decided to get a drink. So I went to the nearest convience store and got a

soda. The cashier was acting wierd. This is what he said, "Hey, what do you want?! A machete

to kill that bitch that nuked Kentucky?!" Then he paused, and sighed, as if he was about ot say


32/54

something else. During those seconds that felt like days, i was cherfully just breathing heavily,

feeling scared, like I was out in the dark. Like, since when did they sell machetes at conveince

stores? Then he spoke again, "Sorry, my brother was on vacation in Kentucky when it got

nuked. He is dead." Well that is all I got to say for now, it is midnight, and I need to try to get

some sleep.

June 8th, 2011

I wasn't able ot update my journal recently. I was too busy, when I found a VHS tape. It said,

"The Looney Tunes Show, The Universe Ends Copyright 1999" 1999? What does that even

mean? I then went to my friends house and took the VHS tape with me. he told me that the

tape has the exact episode that I saw. He got me the e-mail of a friend of his aunts, which is

the ceo at cartoon network studios. I will e-mail him tomorrow. Bye for now.

June 10th, 2011

I e-mailed the ceo. I will get to that later. It is about 4:56 in the morning. Anyways, I saw a

mysterious gray figure murdering my friend. When I realized this by seeing a disembodied arm

on my front yard getting my news paper. I couldn't believe it! When i caught the grey figure's

gaze, it was so creepy. His eyes....are just dark hollow holes. He was holding up a bloody

scalpel. He pointed to it with his big claw on his hand, and nodded, as if to tell me that I was

next. I bolted away and just packed my things into my van and just abandoned my house to

live in my van. I have all that I need in my van. Oh and about the e-mail, here is the exact e-

mail word for word "Hey, ****, about that Looney Tunes show episode. That was the first

episode made by a maniac that worked in the CN studios for 3 years. In '99, his final year, he

suggested this show to us. After rejecting it two times, he made this violent episode. Weactually burned the original copy, we have no idea of how your friend rediscovered it."

The guy, was found dead in his house just after ten days. Someone had apparently threw a

pipe bomb at him and he was slit in the wrist eight times. His friend had also hung himself.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Lost Episode

Has anyone heard of the alleged 'lost' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episode?

Its name was 'Dawn of the Dread' and was one of the early season two episodes. There's no

official reference to it and evidence of its existence is quite scant, but accounts that can be

found seem consistent in their detail.

Leonardo wakes up and looks around him before getting out of bed. The picture quality is quite

poor and the animation is jittery. There is no background music and the only sound you can


33/54

hear is a ticking clock. Leonardo then mutters something to himself, but his voice seems

muffled and it's difficult to make out what he is saying.

Suddenly, a male voice can be heard in the background, though the voice isn't recognizable and

doesn't seem to belong to any of the show's regular characters; "Are you up yet," is all it says.

It is difficult to tell if Leonardo responds to the strange voice or not, but he leaves his room andheads to the living area of the lair.

The lair seems empty; neither Splinter nor the other turtle are anywhere to be found and the

living area is quite messy. He finds a pizza box on the kitchen table, but upon opening it finds a

very old and moldy pizza with hundreds of insect carcasses on it. At this point, Leonardo

decides to leave the lair and goes looking for his coat.

The picture suddenly switches to black for about ten seconds, as if for advertisements; some

say a very faint whispering can be heard if the volume is turned up high. The scene then

switches back to Leonardo walking through the sewers. The picture quality is now very poor;the backgrounds look rushed in their design and don't loop properly in their repetition.

What follows is a scene with Leonardo standing and looking into a sewer stream. He is not

moving and the only animation is the slow movement of the water, with what sounds like a

dripping noise playing in the background. After a few seconds, Michelangelo suddenly drifts into

frame; he is otherwise motionless. He just seems to be slowly drifting by, face up with his eyes

wide open in a vacant stare. His tone is sickly green and his face is slightly sunken. Leonardo

stoically watches Michelangelo's clearly lifeless body drift by before slowly moving on.

Leonardo is now walking the streets. It is somewhat dark; there is no one around and none of

the businesses seem to be open, with many seeming abandoned and derelict. He doesn't seem

to be going anywhere, just wandering aimlessly as there is nowhere to go. He passes the

channel six building; it is clearly vacant. He decides to rest on a street bench and begins testing

his turtle com, but there is no reply to any of his calls and he angrily thrusts the device on the

ground, smashing it.

Suddenly, the unidentified male voice reiterates, "Are you up yet," to which Leonardo doesn't

seem to respond, instead just sitting and staring at his broken turtle-com; "They're gone," thevoice quietly utters, followed by an extremely loud tearing scream, "THEY'RE GONE! GONE!

GONE," after which Leonardo starts cringing in wild agony, screaming in pain and furiously

punching himself in the head.

Loud banging and high-pitched scraping sounds now fill the scene. Strange moving black

shapes start forming around Leonardo and circling him, some appearing to rush towards him in


34/54

a violent manner before suddenly disappearing, their victim too afraid to look at them.

The picture goes to loud static for several minutes until it suddenly ends.

Chowder Lost Episode - Dead Mung

My cousin used to work at Cartoon Network. He used to produce episodes of such shows as

Chowder, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, and others. One day, he had an idea for an

episode of Chowder, entitled 'Dead Mung'. He gave me the script and tape he made of 'Dead

Mung'.

The original intro appeared as normal. Then the screen came up saying 'Dead Mung'. Nothing

special, just text. Then it showed Chowder cooking something in the kitchen. As usual, he

keeps messing up. Getting more frustrated each time he fucked up. At this time, Mung entered

the kitchen. Smoke filled the air, because

Chowder burned whatever he was making (I couldn't make it out).


35/54

Mung, angry, started yelling at Chowder. 'YOU SON OF A BITCH! WHAT THE FUCK ARE TRYING

TO DO HERE? KILL ME! I LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY!' At that moment, Chowder shoved Mung into

the oven. Mung was gasping for air, the said one last thing, 'WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO

MAKE?' Chowder answered with, 'Schnitzel.' Mung burned up in the oven. Chowder put him out

of the oven and let him cool.

Then, after cooling, Chowder pulls out a butcher knife from his back pocket and rips out all of

the intestines and organs. Someone, a customer, came in at that moment, and saw Chowder

pull out the innards of Mung. Chowder throws the butcher knife, hitting the customer in the

eyeball, skewering it. Chowder skinned Mung, and threw it out. He began eating Mung, with a

demonic, twisted face.

Truffles appeared and joined into the feast. Chowder finished Mung and threw the bones away.

Truffles then exited the room. Chowder stared at the camera with that demonic twisted look on

his face. The screen goes black. Text appeared in a plain font saying, 'The End'.

I asked my cousin why he made this horrible cartoon. He never answered.

Family Guys Lost Episode

In 2005, they brought back Family Guy after it was cancelled. Seth wanted to bring the show

back right, and he felt like he needed a darker storyline that the fans would understand.

So for season 4 he wanted to make a fresh start, as if to start the series over again, but for this

to work he had to make a episode that could start the series back over again.

For years he never aired it because of time. He later forgot about it and the original tape went

missing.

I was quite a Family Guy fan myself, so when an unknown Family Guy tape was for sale online,

I ordered it, and I got it in the mail six days later. It was 7 minutes and 53 seconds long. It

began with a darker version of the intro. It was a bit more high-pitched, and when it went on

the logo, there were flashes of unknown colors.

It began with a closeup of the house. It was silent, and inside the house, Brian was yelling at

the family about something odd. From what I saw of it, Peter made a cutaway gag, but you

could only see a little bit of it. It took place in a store, but for the last couple of seconds, the

screen was just red, and the audio was very messed up. It sounded like someone speaking.

The camera then focused on Stewie, who was saying something, but the audio quality was too

messed up to hear. It cut to a crudley drawn knife on the table with a white hand reaching for

it. The scene cut to a black screen, where the knife was falling in slow motion with Brian


36/54

catching it.

A very odd blood explosion was seen, with screaming in the background. Peter was coming out

of a broken wall, but something pulled him back in through. It cut back to the house with a red

sky, halfway through, the sky turned black and there as a explosion from some parts of the

house.

It cut to another second of Peter with a slight explosion behind him, then to Stewie with red

eyes and a slight wound on his forehead, as the camera was going out of focus for a second.

It then cut to some low pitched singing with a dark background, and for a few seconds you

could see some woman dancing; it had an odd tune. It cut to a inverted background with Peter

still alive...something behind him attacked him. There were waves making it hard to see who

attacked him in the first place, and it then shown a swirling picture. It was hard to tell what,

though.

The house had some odd colors thrown on it, and there was a bit of static that could be seen,

after a couple of second the colors started to get truly messed up and it stayed that way for a

while. I would have expected something scary, but a hand came out, and Brian just stabbed

through it. There was a blood mark on the arm.

It unexpectedly came back to the family on the couch, when there was a doorbell ring. Brian

opened it, but it was unknown who it was because of the mirror. Brian welcomed whoever it

was, and the family stood up. It cut back to Stewie for a couple of seconds, and then the house

again for a couple of seconds. It then showed a gun; I had no idea why the gun was there.

Then it cut to the house moving around. It seemed that behind the background was footage of

Nazi soldiers. It went on for a while, and for the last couple of seconds you could barely see

that it was a house. The picture moved out the the screen for a second, then came back.

For the last seconds of the episode, you could see someone moving curtains around during

some peaceful music. There were no credits, it just cut to black.

I was upset. I looked for the man who sold me the tape...he had several accounts, and he

refused to take it back for any amount of money. I met Seth later at a fan convention and

asked him about it. He told me there was no way the tape was his. He yelled at me a while untilI just quit talking about it.

Later I showed the episode to my friends because I kept the tape. We finished watching it and I

went to get some beer and when I came back they were all gone. I found them all lying in the

bathtub, dead, with the words spelled out in blood, "WE DON'T NEED THIS".


37/54

I was truly upset, and I need to get to the bottom of this.

Catdog Lost Episode

Hello everyone. When I was a little girl, one of my favorite Nicktoons was CatDog. I'm sure you

90s kids remember it: a fairly comical show about a pair of Siamese twin brothers, one cat and

one dog. They lived in a house with wise-mouth blue mouse named Winslow, and they were

constantly bullied by a group of dogs known as The Greasers. According to records, this show

first aired on April 4, 1998, it and ended with an unaired episode on September 22, 2004. The

series was created by Peter Hannan.

Being a loyal follower of the show, I was rather disappointed when I found out that the series

was cut in 2004. Like most other people, I hadn't seen the unaired episode, which I have found

out was titled "Vexed of Kin / Meat, Dog's Friends".

One day, while browsing a local yard sale, I came across a DVD in a plain clear case. It was

obviously a burned DVD, as it was the Memorex brand. Anyway, it had "CatDog: For the Birds"

messily scrawled on it in black Sharpie marker. I've never heard of this episode! It must have

been some kind of mysterious lost episode! I had to have it. I asked the woman (about in her

40's) in charge how much she w
