Squidward's Suicide (2004)

Note; Not to be confused with the other Squidward's Suicide 
Squidward's Suicide is a lost season 4 episode of the popular animated television series "SpongeBob SquarePants." It is contained on an old Victor Company Video Home System (VHS) tape and was watched by the Nickelodeon staff back in 2005. The episode was so horrifying that two animators were rushed to the hospital, one editor retired, and one intern even committed suicide. The tape was found at a scrap yard in California, hidden in a filthy plastic bag. The episode was sent to Nickelodeon Studios In California as the rough cut of Fear of a Krabby Patty, causing it attracts authorities' focus who later investigates the episode for horrifying scenes and suicidal elements.
== The Plot ==
The episode begins with a title card saying "Squidward's Suicide," however, the opening credits are spliced.
The bubble transition plays as normal, and we are given a view of Conch Street from the left side. The screen zooms in on Squidward's house, Squidward was playing his clarinet near his window. Spongebob can be heard laughing merrily outside. Squidward stops playing, walks to the window talking to himself about something, the audio of the tape is corrupted so it's unknown what he is saying. He looks out his window. He yells to Spongebob to knock it off as he has a concert to practice for that night. Spongebob says Okay, and it cuts back to Squidward standing near the window talking to himself. The bubbles pop up, and the ending of the concert can be seen. Squidward is in center frame, and he looks scared.
This is where things start to seem off. As the shot goes to the crowd, everyone starts booing Squidward, but they all have realistic eyes as they boo him. Not real shots of eyes, but more real than even CGI. Even Spongebob was booing, very unlike him. Squidward looks very afraid, he looks at the audience for 2 seconds and then walks off the stage. The scene switches to Squidward sitting on the side of his bed looking depressed. There is absolutely no audio.
After thirty seconds, Squidward covers his face and starts sobbing softly. There is a faint noise in the background, it is the sound of a gale blowing through a forest. Another strange sound is a deep, odd laughter. Soon the screen twists in on itself and goes back to normal. After an undetermined space of time, the screen twitches and blurs and twists and a single frame flashes over the screen. If one were to rewind it, the result is absolutely horrible. It is a real photo of a dead six year old boy, mangled and cut open and all. Squidward is now crying realistic blood. After 20 seconds, the screen twists again, and another frame pops up. This time a six year old girl is shown horribly disfigured and mutilated, and is, like the other kid, on pavement
Squidward goes silent as does all sound. Squidward uncovers his eyes. They are realistic and bulging. Blood is running down his face. He stares at the viewer for about ten seconds, then starts to cry again. It is earsplittingly loud. The laughter and wind return. Squidward's crying is now mixed with screams. This happens for about a minute and a half or so, and out of nowhere a sequence of five frames flashes over the screen. They depict a short "video" of a hand reaching into another boy's chest around the age of the boy in the first photo, and then holding his eye. The eye even blinks for two the final two frames. At the end of the long, horrifying stare of Squidward, the scene zooms out and Squidward has a shotgun in his hands. He puts the gun to his mouth, and fires. The final five seconds consists of Squidward's lifeless body lying on the bed, His brain exposed, one eye out of his head, blood dripping from all of this, and blood on the wall. The tape then ends abruptly.
== Update ==
Some time after, the episode was found and published to the Internet Archive by a user known as Sonic 2008 Loq
