Spooky Pieces of Lost Media That Keep Me Up At Night

[@sydneysynder3062]

From 2010 to 2013 there was a huge boom in popularity for zombie related media. It doesn't surprise me that much Nickelodeon commissioned bumpers with their most recent characters made into zombies. I'm surprised I don't remember seeing these, because they feel really familiar, and I remember all the other zombie stuff that scared me.

[@MASTEROFEVIL]

It was mostly because of The Walking Dead

[@burningsexuality1540]

@@MASTEROFEVIL Nah, walking dead was part of it, just the most long lasting of that era. Zombie things were huge back then. Warm bodies, world war Z, etc. Zombie things just had a huge boom, the walking dead was certainly not the first.

[@OvertheHedge06]

@@burningsexuality1540 Well it did help. The show was fucking HUGE but it sadly fizzled out and now, ironically,. it's just basically a zombie version of itself that's mindlessly going on with no end in sight.

It wasn't just zombies but werewolf's and vampires too. I remember Disney used to milk the heck out of those tropes during Monstorber man those where the days. I miss the good shows from my childhood.

[@Mskittenlover12]

@@OvertheHedge06 The main show itself is ending soon. But there are of course the spin offs that are going to air. At least 3 currently confirmed. I still watch it and enjoy it but the current episodes definitely don't hit the way the older ones do. On PlutoTV, there's a channel called Stories by AMC that airs old reruns of The Walking Dead quite frequently and when I occasionally watch those just for the hell of it, I do find myself missing the way the show used to be. Just saw a part of the first season last night. It was right when the zombies attacked the first survivor camp for the first time. When Angela's sister gets bit. Back when the show was remaining pretty faithful to the comics. 🙃

[@aortaplatinum]

Holy shit those Nicktoons Zombified bumpers are genuinely scary. It's definitely partially to do with the cheap, jank motion tweening animation, but the designs plus the filters over the videos are horrifying enough on their own. Definitely one of those bits of lost media that was intentionally scrubbed from existence, I can't imagine how many kids ran screaming and crying to their parents after seeing that shit. As a kid who grew up with Tails Doll and early Sonic.exe, I'm glad there's still creepy Sonic content going around. Like, we're STILL discovering things in these games, another notable disturbing instance that's really easy to find yourself, are the electric chairs in some of the jail cells of Red Mountain's 2nd section in Sonic Adventure.

[@elaynadiedinside]

I'm a part of the search for the Nick stuff and when someone told us they found screenshots I was more scared now than I was when I was little. Back then it was just like _lol_ and now it's like *OH GOD KILL IT*

I remember being genuinely terrified by those zombified bumpers, they aired the mighty B one at like 2 am or sometime late. Bessie calls out to her dog Happy before saying "this is awesome..." in a really low and distorted voice while her glasses fall revealing oddly detailed rotting eyes all in a sudden punch in close up. One of the first times my anxiety disorder actually kicked in during my childhood and it took several days to get over the panic that ad gave me since I hadn't dealt with such a thing before, hence why I can remember the details vividly. Every time they aired the bumpers it would start with a dark grey-green nicktoons logo and their announcer saying "nicktoons is getting zombified" which was my cue to frantically scramble for the remote and change the channel or turn off the tv in fear of having another panic attack. It's not that they caused my anxiety, they were just shocking and out of place enough to trigger it as it developed in early adolescence. Such a weird coincidence that I hadn't thought about for years until this video.

[@LJA116]

Hey, so I have some very vivid memories about Nickelodeon Halloween bumpers that MAY help a little with the Zombified search! There were a couple mentions of possible Avatar bumper, mentioning one where "Aang is just... dead." I know exactly what that one was, and it's not related to Zombified. In October 2007 during "Shocktober" there were bumpers that imagined Nickelodeon characters as Halloween staples, though I don't think there was any animation to them, just quick pans over a still image before showing it fully. Two of them were Aang as a skeleton with the blue arrow on his skull, and Katara as a vampire. And I can say all this with confidence because I found an old post I had made online from November 2007 that talked about those Avatar Shocktober bumpers.

[@jadetheravinkitty6368]

I've studied japanese in university and while I'm still not completely fluent I've never heard any word even remotely resembling "sanobashi." I hate to think that absolutely no one has tried the most basic of investigative processes, but has anyone even confirmed with a native speaker whether that is even comprehensible as a title, let alone natural enough to have been thought of? it almost looks like to me someone meant to say "sonobasho" (that place) but messed up. Also I'm super surprised to hear a sonic game has undatamined and undocumented assets. I wonder how hard it would be for someone to extract everything from an emulation file and remedy that.

[@primequartz7292]

Also not a fluent speaker here but a quick google search has revealed absolutely nothing for the word "sanobashi," let alone anything that could be translated as "go for a punch." I think someone mightve just made up vaguely Japanese-sounding words to fuck with some english speakers

[@adrianoropeza8558]

Do you seriously expect people from reddit and discord who swallow up hoaxes to have an understanding of japanese? According to them its the translation of Go For a Punch (although it doesnt show up in google translate), probably japanese sounding words made up by a troll

[@bees.2843]

Guess it could be a misreading or mis…citing?… of 先その 場所 if it was a real thing, ie, saki sono basho / that place ahead Still does not translate to “go for a punch” in any sense unless you reeeally stretch “go for a punch” as, like, getting ahead lol

[@redlikeroses3705]

According to the people interessed, the real title is Saki-San No Bashitsu, with Bashitsu being an old way of saying "Torture Room". While Saki-San No is real japanese, i have zero idea whetever bashitsu is a real word, obsolete or not.

[@Namingway248]

@@redlikeroses3705 I appreciate you telling me that, but that again looks like someone just screwed up a word they maybe heard before (in this case, "batsu" meaning punishment). Quite honestly if they'd gone for something like "saki-san no bashibashi" (not easily translatable but kind of like "The forceful strike of Saki") I wouldn't have had a leg to stand on because those are all real words that not only make sense but tie into the supposed english title of "go for a punch" but the fact that there is a different, less logical answer tells me this cannot, in all likelihood, be real.

I want to find a short I saw when I was a kid in late 90's early 00's. I watched it on a channel called LOCOMOTION (I don't know if it was a channel just here in Latin America or if it was an international version of other network). That channel used to stream content mostly for young adults. There was a segment that aired mostly near midnight called LOCOTOMIA that showed short films and animations. The short I'm talking about was in "clay motion" (it reminds me now that chicken movie made in this format) and I recall it was about a society in which everyone does what they're supposed to: everyone goes to work at the same place, everyone goes shopping at the same place, etc. At some point the main character notices a window and is unable to see what's "outside". After various days of walking by that window with the rest of the people at the same time, the main character takes a peek out of that window and goes through it and ends up "outside" where there's a beautiful sight of a sky full of stars. Then he looks back at the window and sees how all the people inside goes from one side to another at the same time and at the same rhythm. The short ends here. The whole short had no dialog, only sound effects when needed, like people walking, working and being at home. I remember being a kid and thinking that some of the shorts that aired in that segment (LOCOTOMIA) used to be so long but I guess that being a kid enjoying some TV made me think they were long. I remember this short in particular because it meant so much to me at a young age to get a message like that: DARE TO GO OUTSIDE. It defined my way of thinking from there to the present day and I will carry that message with me for the rest of my life.

Here's my personal nickelodeon related childhood trauma story, that's kinda like the zombie bumpers, but a tad different So, I can't remember what year exactly, but when I was a kiddo (like, 7-11) kids online mmos were the shit. Think club penguin, petpet park type stuff. Nick hopped on this trend and added their own mmo game-thing to their website, where you could dress up your avatar, watch big time rush videos in an in game theater, or try and talk with others, but most importantly there were shitty laggy minigames you could play. The one that I remember was (what I assume was) the one made for Halloween, which featured monster versions of nicktoons characters attacking a fenced area. Your avatar would don a sash of garlic and other cartoony monster hunter stuff and have to fight off the nicktoons characters trying to kill you. Instead of them all being zombies, I remember them being different kinds of monsters; some zombies, some mummies, some werewolves-- but what REALLY got to me as a kid was the "boss" of the game, "SpongeBlob", a giant blob-monster SpongeBob that would writhe around and occasionally go transparent so you could see all the other spongebob characters inside of him. Needless to say this freaked the shit out of me as a kid and cemented my fear of Blob-type monsters that I still have to this day. I think I even remember having a nightmare about the peanuts gang getting eaten by a blob. Since that game and everything in it has definitely been lost to time, this game might honestly be lost media lol. But there's probably footage of it somewhere, I haven't bothered to check Tldr: shitty nickelodeon mmo made me have nightmares over SpongeBlob

[@camelkingclarith]

I remember the MMO being called Nicktropolis. It had different worlds you could go to based on different Nick cartoons. I remember SpongeBob, Jimmy Neutron, and Danny Phantom having worlds, and going to the SpongeBob world would turn your avatar into a fish. I also remember the theater and the janky chat filter. I specifically remember another player asking if I was a guy or a girl, and when I said I was a guy, she kept asking me to be her boyfriend and it creeped me out so I logged off for several months lol. I don't remember this specific minigame, or any minigames at all, but I remember that minigames were present.

[@Bt3615]

Saki Sanobashi can be explained as a vague recollection of The Curse of Kazuo Umezu (obscure, but extremely easy to find nowadays) or just various elements from obscure titles (the aforementioned OVA included) to trick the readers into a search. The latter is extremely probable considering that the original post appeared on 4chan which historically has a demographic full of peple with a vast knowledge of obscure anime, a penchant for trolling and particular hate for Reddit culture. In other words it's a prank against the obsessive search which are very common on Reddit.

[@nathand3468]

Yeah, the throat scratching bit is definitely from higurashi, which is basically an entire series about young girls dying in horrible ways.

[@jaspi7615]

about saki sanobashi: i don't personally think it exists, but i disagree that the content sounds unbelievable. if anything, i think part of the reason it got as much traction as it did it's because it sounds like exactly what you would expect from gore anime. i'm more surprised that it ISN'T real because i would imagine gore creators would be the first to think of that and yet, everything surrounding the story makes me think it's fake. i'd love to be proved wrong, because the idea of an anime with no music about a descent into madness sounds like an interesting concept, but i doubt anything will come of it.

[@rayphoenix7296]

The Mean Bean Machine one reminds me of something that happened when I was playing Street Fighter II Special Championship Edition for the Sega Genesis. I triggered some kind of error that caused the game to go to a screen that looks like MSDOS or a Commodore 64. It had text that read something about emulation and it had a long series of what looks like assembly language code. I could change the numbers rapidly using the joystick I was using. The scary part is that it said, "Emulation" and I was playing this on an actual Genesis. On an unrelated note, I also remember seeing these ads or psas on Nick back around 2000 to 2003 that were in black and white and it involved some girl playing a kazoo while hoolahooping. I remember seeing it quite a bit and I have never been able to find it. I have no idea what it was for. All I know is that it aired on Nick in the early 2000's.

[@tonycrimes]

the mean bean machine one doesn't surprise me at all.. i only had the genesis version. But, I wonder, if the check connection screen is just a generic bug flagger, kind of like how in sonic 3d blast you can get a special stage select if your game fucks up.. (or someone trips over your console or etc) so i wonder if just having a bad dump of the rom or a bad cart would produce the effect if tested enough? I had sonic triple trouble which was my only game that consistently gave me issues working.. and it would have errors but they were usually just black screen errors. once i got glitchy graphics in the intro though but i wasn't able to progress from the intro without it crashing/black screening something to try anyway!

Apparently it got taken down beacuse the creators had a falling out. I've been looking for re-uploads of it ever since high school.

Sometimes I wonder if people are even actually looking for these lost media cause for the Dr Robotnik game gear one all you have to do is emulate the game and click the gear to gear option and because it’s an emulation there’s no link cable present so it gives you that screen automatically, you would also only need one game gear to get that screen cause it just checks if there’s a link cable connected and if there isn’t you get that screen super easy to find dude

About the Zombified Nicktoons bumpers, I actually kept my TV on as a kid every night from 2008-2014 because I was afraid of the dark and feeling alone at that time and one of the channels I kept my TV on was Nicktoons. Not once did I see those bumpers or hear any of their audio playing on the channel at night.

Not sure if this is Lost Media, but I’ll go ahead anyway since I can’t find the name for it: I remember watching a CBBC show back in the Late-00/ very early 2010’s about a boy who used his imagination to go on extravagant adventures, but would always be “transported” back to the real world where the room he was in was always in a mess. The boy was always accompanied by two friends, one being another boy his age and the other a girl, who always followed the main kid character both in the real world and in his imagination somehow. The animation, art-style and character designs were near-identical to Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, so it was most likely made in Adobe Flash like a good number of shows around its time (Almost Naked Animals and Johnny Test being infamous examples).
