Spengbab

As a fan of TV DX, I always catch weird things from faraway places. Usually it's a transmission or two that I can't find an explanation for and I usually forget them almost immediately. But there was one that I will never forget...

I was looking for a signal one night and caught a high definition test card. It was the old Indian test card, but the Indian had no face; it was just a skull accompanied by white noise. I kept my hand away from the control and prepared myself to see what this was

Suddenly, an episode of Spongebob Squarepants started. It was dubbed in an unknown language; it didn't matter to me, so I kept watching.

The episode started with Spongebob going down to the kitchen. In this episode, he found a chest; he looked at it for a moment before opening it. A monster that could only have come from a Lovecraft story popped out. It filled Spongebob's holes with its tentacles until it was entirely inside the sponge's body. Spongebob stood up, his body covered in goo and his face deformed. The image was burned in my mind and will never leave.

Spongebob walked out of his house like a zombie until he arrived at Patrick's. The stone opened and Spongebob's tongue came out; it stuck to Patrick's head and started sucking. After a while, Patrick fell down and Spongebob walked up to him. The tentacles jumped out of the sponge and entered the starfish's body, changing him into an equally horrible form.

The two walked around town like zombies, violently killing anything they could find. Both arrived at Sandy's house, violently entering as the water flooded the dome. Both immobilized Sandy with their tongues and began to touch her with them. Some of the images will never be forgotten.

After finishing with Sandy, both Spongebob and Patrick became skeletons; Sandy stayed still, crying while the dome flooded with water. The episode ended after that and the signal cut. I have never seen any other transmission from that frequency.
