As a little kid, I was a huge fan of SpongeBob. I had all the episodes on VHS, all the episodes. However, the episodes that came out after the movie was a bunch of crap. ‘Til then I've always loved Nickelodeon, when I was growing up it was my favourite channel to watch.
Even today it has some good shows, like Sanjay and Craig and Breadwinners. One of the most famous shows on the network, SpongeBob Squarepants, is a cute and mildly entertaining show. Not really my cup of tea since the movie, it's a little immature, but my little brother seems to like it a lot.
One very foggy night, I was watching Nickelodeon when I realized that I'd been up so late that I hadn't even kept track of the time, because I realized the sun was rising. I don't recall ever watching Nickelodeon this late, so I stayed awake to see what would happen when it ended. A little bumper showed up at the bottom of the screen during a commercial break, it said that a special episode of SpongeBob was about to come on.
I was a little confused about an episode of a very popular, new show coming on this early, but I was bored and decided I would watch it; thinking it might come on later in the day so I could spoil it for my brother. Sort of mean, I know.
The flashy and energetic intro theme played, although it was played a little differently than I recall. The music was a little different, and the show's logo wasn't animated, it's colours were done rather sloppily as well, almost like something a little kid would do on a Doodle Board or a Glow Board. I ignored it, assuming that it was done just for this 'special' episode. The title of the episode was "Wormy's Predecessor", a sort of weird title, but I didn't really pay too much attention.
Everything was normal from the beginning to where SpongeBob visits the Krusty Krab. At one point, his arm became deformed, and bent backwards on itself. After a few seconds, the screen twitched, and it was back to normal.
A few minutes afterwards, when he thought Mr. Krabs and Squidward had been eaten, the blue in his eyes vanished, replaced by a black, tar-like color.
His mouth moved as if he were continuing the frightened dialogue about Wormy, except there was no sound. Upon observing his lip-movements, you may notice that he appeared to say "I'll kill you."
Nothing else happened until Sandy arrived in a bus. The same scenario plays, where she traps Wormy in a jar. Nothing happens for about 3 minutes after that, and Sandy just stands still, like a statue. The sky is still blood red. Then, slowly, heads belonging to the citizens emerge from behind the buildings.
Instead of being delighted at the capture of Wormy, their faces reveal no emotion whatsoever. They stare blankly at Sandy, before stepping slowly toward her. They pause about 5 feet from her, and form a circle. Spongebob's eyes are black again. Suddenly, one fish starts to scream.
The rest follow, and soon all you can hear is screeching, much like razors on a chalkboard. They grab the jar containing Wormy, and smash it on the crater-ridden road. They proceed to stomp on him, and an unnatural amount of blood spurts out. A lone figure appears on the horizon, and begins to advance toward the mob. As it approaches, it is found to be a Patrick with no face.
He picks Sandy up, and shakes her above his head. He then throws her down, cracking her helmet. Water pours in, and she begins to suffocate. The rest of the mob follows Patrick, who carries her away. Her innards are being thrown like confetti as she disappears over the horizon.
The intersection now looks like a warzone: smoldering craters, fires destroying buildings, and that blood-red sky. Nobody is left in the smoking road, except Spongebob.
The episode ends with him staring directly at the camera, and speaking in a raspy voice:
"This is your end." Then the credits roll silently in Black text in a plain red background.
