But the nature of this list to find only the spookiest urban legends and when it comes to the heavily analyzed sci-fi world of the TARDIS, spookiness can be hard to come by. In fact, we’ve covered a lot of them already. Sorry!ĭoctor Who Condemns Two Goons to Agonizing DeathsĪs one of the longest running TV series ever, Doctor Who is a rich source of urban legends. Remember that movie Babe? The one about the sweet talking pig and his farmer buddy James Cromwell? Yeah anyway, they ate the pig. Babe Was Sent Straight to the Slaughterhouse The supposed haunted lost episode of SpongeBob is called “Squidward’s Suicide.” The legend finds an ex-Nickelodeon intern recounting the time they screened an episode called “Squidward’s Suicide.” Said episode was deeply disturbing and include Squidward being bullied into despair and clawing at his face while the footage is intercut with images of actual dead children. One such early creepypasta involves a “lost episode” of children’s cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants.Īs you’ll come to find out perusing this list, the myth of a “lost episode” is as common an urban legend for television as “cursed productions” are for film. Named after the practice of re-sharing spooky stories from web forum to web forum (copy + paste = copypasta creepy + paste = creepypasta), creepypastas are urban legends that sound reasonably plausible to terminally online audiences. Here we graduate from the usual pre-Internet era of urban legends into the digital age of the creepypasta. There’s a Terrifying Missing Episode of SpongeBob SquarePants Somewhere along the way the story likely grew into the urban legend the still haunts Barney. Obviously that’s not true but Snopes notes that there have been some instances of drug traffickers hiding cocaine and painkillers inside Barney dolls.

Naturally, he is therefore almost universally hated.īarney is a target for urban legends and conspiracy theories and they almost always revolve around something nefarious going on in that immense purple costume. All the rotund purple T-Rex wants to do is teach your kids some life lessons and dole out some big hugs. Or is there… Barney the Dinosaur Was an Unhinged Drug Addictīarney the Dinosaur, titular star of PBS children’s series Barney & Friends is a wholesome force for good in this sad, dismal world. Of course, there is no such thing as a cursed movie so that’s why we’re combining them all into one entry. The so-called Poltergeist curse is believed to have led to the untimely deaths of several members of the film’s cast, most notably the tragic passing of young actress Heather O’Rourke. For our money, however, the biggest one is Tobe Hooper’s 1982 horror film Poltergeist. Some of the most frequent targets for the “cursed film” urban legend are The Exorcist, The Crow, and Rosemary’s Baby.
