== Introduction ==
Arthur, one of the longest running cartoons behind the Simpsons. It first aired in 1996 and is running today. Of course, the show is now a complete joke. What I am here to talk about today is a lost episode I found of Arthur. This episode was a top secret episode that no one other than the Arthur cast and crew have seen. The episode was made in 2011, and was meant to be the series finale of the show. The episode was completed shortly before 9 Story took over the show. After the cast and crew watched it back together. They were horrified and scarred for life by the episode's graphic content.
Marc Brown and Greg Bailey warned them not to watch the episode. They too, were horrified and shocked as they thought this was the way to put down the show. The producers made an oath to solemnly swear everyone at Cookie Jar Entertainment to never reveal this episode to the public. As the move to 9 Story beginning, they took all of the tapes of all Arthur episodes. Except this one. One employee wasn't aware of the tape and thought it was just a useless blank tape. He threw it out and the garbage truck came and picked up the trash from the dumpster. This is where I came across the tape.
== The Tape (Before the episode) ==
I was dumpster driving for some cardboard boxes to give to my Grandfather for his ebay business. As I was digging through some cardboard boxes, I noticed a tape. It was crudely marked in sharpie "Mr. Ratburn." I was a former fan of Arthur, so I took the tape home to watch. After I got home, I turned on my VCR. I rewound the tape before playing it. After it was finished, I pressed play.
== Episode ==
As soon as I pressed play, the PBS contribution screen appeared. It looked and sounded normal, which really baffled me since the tape looked damaged. The intro was normal as well. But after Arthur and Buster swam across the screen the pool scene. The framerate slowed down dramatically and the water faded into a blood red color. The screen then turns red and Mr. Ratburn appears on screen. A very loud TV speaker exploding "HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted by Mr. Ratburn shook the whole room. It startled me bad. I think I just skipped a few heart beats! The screen shuts off for about 10 seconds.
The real episode starts with a overhead view, similar to the old Resident Evil games. There is no music or sound what so ever. Only foot steps and doors opening can be heard. Arthur gets out of bed all dressed, ready for school. He was looking a bit uneasy. He leaves his room, goes downstairs, and out the door. When he opens the door, there is an extreme close up of the door opening. As he is walking to school, there is still no music or sound except foot steps. When all the kids arrive at school, they look as if they are about to have a nervous breakdown. They open the doors to the school. The camera again, has an extreme close up of the door in a black background.
Now there is music, but super creepy music. It's the Shadow Temple music from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The students are walking to Mr. Ratburn's class room. Again another extreme close up of the door opening! The students take their seats but Mr Ratburn was not there! He arrives late for class...sudden Giygas theme from Earthbound plays! As he is about to teach class, he starts acting erratically. He starts twitching his eyes, shake his hands, and a heart beat goes off!
There is an extreme close up of his face. It appears as if Ratburn is about to have a heart attack. His eyes turn blank and he makes a devilish smirk with blood splattered on his face. He then screams like he has never done before. His screaming sounds like the voice actor voicing him is suffering in pain. Screaming for the pain to stop. Just very realistic screaming as if the actor was like this for real. The screen flickers and gets distorted. Pretty soon half the screen gets covered in Ratburn's screaming mouth! He starts vomiting blood and chunks of his flesh. For 5 minutes, he screams and the color starts disappearing from the picture.
Then the screen goes black. The And Now A Word From Us Kids segments appears. I thought "Oh god! Not this! I can't watch!" Believe it or not it. It does looks pretty normal. A class of 6th grades go to a meat farm. The butcher shows them how to cook chicken. What can be bad about this? The kids had to severe the heads of live chickens with butcher's knifes. The kids were screaming since they saw the chickens running around without a head. I paused the video and threw up in the bathroom. I just couldn't take it anymore. I thought "Is this a sick joke they are something!? WTF were they thinking!?"
The Now Back to Arthur screen appears, finally. But the pic, was a solid red circle. For the next five minutes, it shows Mr. Ratburn's deceased body. Lying there in an overhead view. It is still picture. The music playing was Ikana Valley from Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Then the screen shows Marc Brown, the creator of Arthur, laughing at his desk with red blank eyes for the rest of the episode. His laugh is distorted and demonic sounding. The screen's color slowly disappears. Eventually, leaving a black and white screen of Marc Brown laughing. The episode ends.
== Aftermath ==
I race to the VCR. Go to the sink, and get a glass of water to pretend like it's Holy Water. I said "My the power of Christ compel you!" Dumped the water on tape. I grabbed tape and threw against the wall a few times. Then I grabbed a hammer and just smashed the crap of the tape. It finally breaks. So I toss it in the garbage can outside. I destroyed everything on the tape except the film.
== Conclusion ==
I destroyed the tape, I never saw it again. I told my friends and my family about it. No one believed me. In conclusion, I am personally disturbed by this jarring episode. WTF were the producers thinking by making this? Do they want to just end Arthur with a bang or something? That I will never know. The End
