Secret of Cartoons: Spongecry.avi

Remember those old Spongebob episodes which some of us used to watch in 1999 from season one? Well, recently a secret episode has been discovered from that time period. The other day, I was searching through my computer when I came across a Notepad document deep within System 32. Having no idea how it got there, I scanned it for viruses. It had one Trojan in it. I deleted it and op ened it up. All that was printed was one website link, followed by the following gibberish: "Akladsjaoao4|f" Having not a single clue what it meant, I continued by putting the site link (which I won't tell you in case anyone out there if fucking stupid enough to try it) into my web browser. It took me to a site, where there was a black background and a huge button. It had the same text on it that was in the Notepad document. I clicked it, and it brought up a download link. The file wanted to be downloaded was called "spongecry.avi". As crazy as I am, I went ahead and

Secret of Cartoons: Our Ruined World

It was a normal Friday night for me. It was January of 2012. The stress from all the tests I had during the week had been lifted, and I just finished my homework, which surprisingly enough, I did not wait until Sunday night to actually complete. I was ready to relax for the weekend. However, what I encountered that night has changed the way I viewed things completely. It was arou nd midnight, and I knew I was not going to be getting any sleep any time soon, so I popped open a bag of chips and decided to watch TV in my room. For a while I was just watching some shows that didn't really come on until late, like “George Lopez”, “Friends”, etc. Eventually these shows came to an end, but unfortunately my insomnia did not. I was still wide awake with nothing to watch. After surfing through channels on the channel guide for a while I found the show, “The Amazing World of Gumball”. If you're unfamiliar with the show, it is a children's cartoon about a 12-year old b

Secret of Cartoons: Thomas and the Children

Warning: this story is graphic! Ever hear of Thomas the tank engine? If you have been around little kids between the ages of two and around seven or so, I'm sure you have. My son adored Thomas so much so that he could name every single train, knew what color they were and the number they had painted on them. I was glad when I heard that he was coming to visit me over the summer but I had a ton of work to do so I bought him a Thomas DVD. The cover looked innocent enough, Thomas was smiling and little wooden children were waving their arms out of the windows in his coaches. The DVD was called Thomas and the Children. He was so excited to see the DVD that right off the bat, he pleaded with me to pop it into the DVD player. I went to work while he watched it. After a few hours, he came into my office, looking as pale as a sheet. "Daddy," His voice seemed weak.   "Are you okay?" I said. I touched his head and noticed that his temperature had gone up.

Secret of Cartoons: Doctor Who: Apocalypse

I want to begin by saying that I am a huge fan of the British series, Doctor Who. The year was 2005, and a pen-pal of mine, Geoff, told me about the series when it was returning to BBC. The show was about a humanoid alien who traveled through time and space in a police box. It was very popular, and I mean immensely. So popular that the show had been on for over forty years, with occasional breaks of course. When I first saw the blue box “bigger on the inside” and the “Daleks,” I was immediately hooked. Of course, I've been watching the show for eight years since then. You can easily say I'm obsessed. As a matter of fact, I've gotten myself into some otherwise black market trade. I've downloaded hundreds of episodes, but one uploader in particular sticks out to me. Now, I won't give their name for legal reasons, but they had a collection of every single episode since 1963. They even had episodes lost to this date including the final episode of “The W

Secret of Cartoons: Satan on the Muppet Show

When I was a child, one of my favorite television programs was The Muppet Show. Every night, before I went to bed, I would tune into the show. I would always get so excited when my favorite character, Kermit, appeared. Right after dinner one night, I tuned in to see the green frog that always brought a smile to my face. The show started out normal, with Kermit introducin g a special guest star. However, things turned a little strange when Kermit introduced the special guest 'Satan', and instead of the normal, happy singing, there was no sound at all. Instead, the camera faded into a black and white doorway. As the camera inched closer and closer, I began to hear small bits of white noise. It then cut to a scene of Kermit, in front of the standard red theater curtains. There were several things out of place, however, Kermit's head seemed warped and longer than usual. The colors he was composed of were now different, and darker. The bricks were also covered

Secret of Cartoons: Plankton Got Served

I am sure many have heard of Lost Episode Creepypastas. They are usually an incredibly graphic episode that conveys such fear for children that it was never aired, though someone managed to sneak a viewing or owns one of the tapes. The most popular example of this is Squidward’s Suicide, in which Squidward commits suicide, hence the title. Of course all of these Creepypastas are false. Yet, I remember a SpongeBob episode that was altered heavily, but still remains in circulation today. This is One Coarse Meal, from season 7. In the episode Mr. Krabs finds out that Plankton is horrified of whales, and uses it to his advantage. This is one of the least popular episodes of the show due to the dark nature of the episode, even after the episode was heavily altered. Now how would I have seen this episode before it edited? It’s simple really. This is one of the seven SpongeBob episodes that was revealed on the internet before it aired on TV. Always a big fan of the show I wa

Secret of Cartoons: Grim's Boss

Anybody remember The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy? That cartoon about two kids who enslave Death. Well there is 1 episode that was only aired once on Adult Swim. It was written and produced during season 6, but never aired for unknown reasons. If you're expecting this to be about an episode containing blood and murder, or anything else that extremely violent, then you're about to be disappointed. The episode contains no super-deformaties, hyper-realism or gore. The name of the episode is Grim's Boss. The plot revolved around Grim inviting his boss to dinner to be reviewed. The episode opens at Billy's house with Grim frantically vacuuming and cleaning before Billy walks covered in mud. He is followed by Mandy. Grim becomes extremely agitated with Billy for making a mess. Mandy asks why Grim seems so worried and hyper and Grim explains that his boss is coming over for dinner to review his work and that his job lies depends on how it goes. Mandy, as

Secret of Cartoons: Timmy's Wish

When I was an intern at Nickelodeon Studios, I always used to view the cartoon before everybody else did, just to make sure if it was okay and there was no flaws or anything that had happened. It was a new episode of The Fairly Oddparents, and it was the one called "Power Pals/Emotion Commotion". I had started the episode, and the episode seemed to be pretty good, no flaws whatsoeve r. So when I took it into the room for everybody to see, I didn't expect anything to happen other than what I had seen. Boy was I wrong. We went into the room and started the tape. I walked out for a few minutes, because I was expecting a call from the manager (He wasn't there that day because he was at a meeting). He called and we talked about business for about a half hour. When I came back in, everybody looked at me. Some questionably, and some angrily, and I didn't know WHAT was going on. They put in the tape and it took awhile to load, but when it did, the title

Secret of Cartoons: Tom and Jerry VHS

I would like to say that as a kid, enjoyed watching Tom and Jerry; however, the channel it was available on only showed it during the daytime, when I was in school. I kept asking my mother for DVDs of the show, but she refused my request given the violent nature of the show. Over time, my house has gotten pretty messy. We had too many items of clothing and boxes of stuff that we mostly didn’t need. My mom finally decided to clean out the house, having me help her. We got through a majority of the rooms and had garbage bags full of stuff to donate. We had one room left; the media room. While she cleaned off a desk, I attempted to clear out a closet. Removing most of the clothing revealed a stack of wooden boxes in the back of the closet. Curious, I opened the box, revealing a collection of VHS tapes. A lot of great movies were in the collection, from classic Disney movies to the Godfather trilogy to Gone With the Wind. I kept searching through the collection until I ca

Secret of Cartoons: The Land Before Time: Human's Revenge

My name is Baldwin, and I live in hollywood C.A, and I got a very scary tale to tell about a new movie star's first movie turning into a Creepypasta, this is my story. Me and my friend Keth went to see The Land before time/The first humans at one of my friends house. He had recently got the DVD at a video store for $5. He invited me and Keth to his house sinc e his parents were going to a party and wouldn't be back until tomorrow morning, they said it was ok for me and my friend to stay for the night. I spoke to my parents, and Keth spoke to his parents and the both agreed about the sleepover. We arrived at my friends house at 6pm on the dot to see 2 other friends there for the same reason. We had some pizza and some cola before we watched the movie. I explained what the movie was about. It was a movie about 3 teenagers helping the LBT dinosaurs to stop a great evil threat. We soon got our popcorn and sodas, and we began watching the movie... This is when th

Secret of Cartoons: Angry Sylvester

I'm pretty sure, that a lot of you remember watching Looney Tunes as a kid. So do I! And my favorite character was Sylvester cat. Until one night back in the summer of 1998. I saw an episode that rather frightened me. But since the cartoon played at late night, when I should've already gotten to bed, I was half asleep, so I only remembered parts of it, like a creepy TV in Sylveste r's room, that turned on all by itself. I thought, maybe it was just a nightmare. Sadly, it wasnt... One year later... The next summer, me and my brother were bored on an afternoon, so we decided to watch some TV. We flicked to Cartoon Network, just in time when Looney Tunes was starting. It played two normal episodes of Sylvester, nothing special, except for one thing...when the second part was coming to it's end, me and my brother felt like something isn't right. We thought, that it might show that certain episode once again. And it happened. The episode didn't have

Secret of Cartoons: Just a Children Show?

I remember one show from my childhood - only one in fact. This is the only full memory I have of my childhood before I moved. When I was about 4, I lived in a condo. It was average sized and fairly nice. That's about all I know to describe it other than it was two stories. I can't remember what I did there, but I know I was not old enough to attend school. Instead, I spent all day at home trying to amuse myself. It's funny, I never remember leaving my home other than to play in the yard. Even then I never left the front yard. I do remember one thing very well. I remember a TV show I watched. It played on Noggin at 2:30 AM. I don't remember ever doing anything else at the condo. I would watch this show. I cannot remember the name, nor can I remember any character name. I can only remember one character name, "The Boogie Man". He was very strange. He'd wear a nice suit and carry a cane. And his head was like like a brain exposed and swolle

Secret of Cartoons: Spongebob: Patrick's Leg

I was online a couple years ago at like around 1:00 AM looking up old SpongeBob episodes as I was a huge fan as a kid and the new episodes they show on TV are complete shit. So after going through bad quality videos on foreign websites and other sites flooded with ads, I came upon an unofficial website that had full episodes ad free. Ok, the quality wasn't great,but bette r than most of the websites. On the bottom was a link that said "SpongeBob Lost Episode". Being the idiot I am, I clicked on it. I thought it was probably a screamer or something, but I clicked on it anyway. I was bored enough to click on the video and watch it. I totally forgot about looking for old episodes. The episode video had poor quality and the episode itself was pretty much forgotten by the writers. Like every episode, it started with the theme song. The titlecard read "Patrick's Leg" with the normal fun-filled bubble letters we all know and love. The first thing t

Secret of Cartoons: A Really Hidden Powerpuff Tape

I'm a total Powerpuff Girls fan much like everyone else, I like all episodes of this show. I don't think I've ever watched glitchy tapes before, though I don't think I want to watch any glitchy tapes after the experience I had... It started on a nice summer afternoon back in 2000, I was watching Cartoon Network on cable television until I noticed, out of my periphe ral vision, that the mailman had arrived and put something in my mailbox as usual and left. I went to see what I got in the mail... The only thing in the Mailbox was a VHS tape and a note. I took it inside. I looked at the note first and realized it was from my dear friend Mack (Let's just call him that), whom I hadn't heard from in 3 days. I know that because I recognized his handwriting, though what was weird is how it looked; it looked badly written and scratchy and somewhat difficult to read, as if Mack was having a hard time writing it down and did it in a hurry. This is what

Secret of Cartoons: Buttercup.avi

One night quite a while ago, I was invited to dinner at a friend's house, who happened to be the nephew of Craig McCracken, the creator of Powerpuff Girls. The party was pleasant, and I was in for a surprise when Mr. McCracken himself was one of the guests. As a teenage girl, I was absolutely obsessed with the show. I would hog the TV for the premiere of every episode, and yell at m y younger brothers if they so much as said a word before the commercial break. Being a somewhat moody, spunky teen, Buttercup was always my favorite of the three girls. I loved her sarcasm and her edginess. Upon meeting Mr. McCracken, I had told him what a big fan I was, and that I was ecstatic to meet him, but he seemed very uninterested and was speaking in a vague, rushed tone, no matter what we were speaking of. I supposed it was because of all of the show's fans could be quite annoying, so I backed off. Somewhere a bit later into the night, Mr. McCracken left hurriedly, not noti

Secret of Cartoons: Recess - An Episode Gone Horribly Wrong

Do not know how the tape came into my possession. All I know is that I found it in one of my drawers while I was clearing them out, in preparation for moving to a new house. It was a VHS tape with a plain white label. "Recess/R1109 New/Return to C" was written on it in a thin black permanent marker. Whoever wrote it had very poor penmanship; it was barely legible. Like anyone who had watched Recess as a child, nostalgia overcame me. I placed the tape in my old VCR and pressed play. It began with a blue screen. It stayed like that for a few minutes, and then started flashing red. Thirty seconds later, it cut to black. Thinking that the tape was wrecked, I went over to press eject. Before I reached the button, the Recess opening started, albeit with really poor compression quality. The video was blurry, and the audio was muddy, but I kept watching to see if anything weird would happen. The episode "The Rules" started, and began playing out like the
