Squidward with hyper-realistic eyes and blood in his eyes

at the end, prepare to be disappointed. There just isn't one.
àÎÝvÿ
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 i
t mighàÎÝvÿt 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 ai
red. I'll geàÎÝvÿt right to it without giving too many unnecessary details. They had very recently made the SpongeBob movie and the entire staff was somewhat sapped of creativity so it took them long
er to start up theàÎÝvÿ 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 an
d two other interns wereàÎÝvÿ 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. NàÎÝvÿow, 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 doe
sn't work" instead of "Rock-a-bye-BiàÎÝvÿvalve" when SpongeBob and Patrick adopt a sea scallop. Nothing particularly funny but work related chuckles. So when we saw the title card "Squidward's Suicid
e" we didn't think it more than a morbid jàÎÝvÿoke.

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 clar
inet, hitting a few sour notes like normal. We hàÎÝvÿear SpongeBob laughing outside and Squidward stops, yelling at him to keep it down as he has a concert that night and needs to practice. SpongeBob
 says okay and goes to see Sandy with Patrick. The bubàÎÝvÿbles 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 frame
s repeat themselves, but the sound doesn't (at this point soàÎÝvÿund is synced up with animation, so, yes, that's not common) but when he stops playing, the sound finishes as if the skip never happen
ed. There is slight murmuring in the crowd before they begin to boàÎÝvÿo him. Not normal cartoon booing that is common in the show, but you could very clearly hear malice in it. Squidward's in full f
rame and looks visibly afraid. The shot goes to the crowd, with SpongeBoàÎÝvÿb in center frame, and he too is booing, very much unlike him. That isn't the oddest thing, though. What is odd is everyon
e had hyper realistic eyes. Very detailed. Clearly not shots of real people's àÎÝvÿeyes, but something a bit more real than CGI. The pupils were red. Some of us looked at each other, obviously confus
ed, but since we weren't the writers, we didn't question its appeal to children yet.àÎÝvÿ

The shot goes to Squidward sitting on the edge of his bed, looking very forlorn. The view out of his porthol
e window is of a night sky so it isn't very long after the concert. The unsettling part isàÎÝvÿ at this point there is no sound. Literally no sound. Not even the feedback from the speakers in the roo
m. It's as if the speakers were turned off, though their status showed them working perfectly. HàÎÝvÿe just sat there, blinking, in this silence for about 30 seconds, then he started to sob softly. H
e put his hands (tentacles) over his eyes and cried quietly for a full minute more, all the while a soàÎÝvÿund 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 nàÎÝvÿoticeable if you look at 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 theàÎÝvÿn back to normal. The wind-through-the-trees sound gets slowly louder and more s
evere, as if a storm is brewing somewhere. The eerie part is this sound, and Squidward's sobbing, sounded real, as if thàÎÝvÿe 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 equipmàÎÝvÿent to be that good to produce sound of that quality.

Below the sou
nd of the wind and sobbing, very faint, something sounded like laughing. It came at odd intervals and never lasted more than a seconàÎÝvÿd so you had a hard time pinning it (we watched this show twic
e, 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 twitàÎÝvÿched 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 ofàÎÝvÿ a dead child. He couldn't have been more than 6. 
The face was mangled and bloodied, one eye dangling over his upturned face, popped. He was naked down to his underwear, his stomach crudely cut open aàÎÝvÿnd his entrails laying beside him. He was la
ying 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 evidenàÎÝvÿce tags or markers, and the angle was 
completely off for a shot designed to be evidence. It would seem the photographer was the person responsible for the child's death. We were of course mortified, bàÎÝvÿut pressed on, hoping that it wa
s 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 dowàÎÝvÿn 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 thàÎÝvÿrough the forest; th
ere 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 aàÎÝvÿnd showed a si
ngle 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 chiàÎÝvÿld. 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 anàÎÝvÿot
her 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 oàÎ
Ývÿnly 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 it was when this scene started. He put his tentacl
es dàÎÝvÿown 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 watch
ing the viàÎÝvÿewer. 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 blooàÎÝvÿd 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 anima
tor was able to stop iàÎÝvÿt 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 stom
ach wound by a large hand, tàÎÝvÿhe 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. H
e went on to the next, same thing.àÎÝvÿ 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 we
re not as if they were 5 different photoàÎÝvÿs, they were played out as if 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 leaàÎÝvÿd 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 continàÎÝvÿued the episode. Once the few frames were shown, all screaming, all sound again stopped. Squidward was just staring at the viewer, full frame 
of the face, for about 3 seconds. The shot quickly panned àÎÝvÿout 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 t
rigger. Realistic blood and brain matter splatters the wall behiàÎÝvÿnd 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, o
ne eye dangling on what's left of his head above the floor, staring blàÎÝvÿankly 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 àÎÝvÿto watch it again. Viewing the episode twice only served to imprint the entirety of it in my mind and cause me horribl
e nightmares. I'm sorry I stayed.

The only theory we could think of was the file àÎÝvÿwas edited by someone in the chain from the drawing studio to here. The CTO was called in to analyze when it hap
pened. The analysis of the file did show it was edited over by new material. However, thàÎÝvÿe timestamp of it was a mere 24 seconds before we began viewing it. All equipment involved was examined fo
r foreign software and hardware as well as glitches, as if the time stamp may have glitched anàÎÝvÿd showed the wrong time, but everything checked out fine. We don't know what happened and to this da
y nobody does.

There was an investigation due to the nature of the photos, but nothing came of it. àÎÝvÿNo child seen was identified and no clues were gathered from the data involved nor physical cl
ues in the photos. I never believed in unexplainable phenomena before, but now that I have something happeàÎÝvÿn and can't prove anything about it beyond anecdotal evidence, I think twice about thing
s.l clues in the photos. I never believed in unexplainable phenomena before, but now that I have something happeàÎÝvÿ
