Barney Lost "Episode"

(This awful creepypasta was created on the Creepypasta forums by a guy called Candlecove.)

Hello there, I am a single father of 2 3-year old boys. Their favorite TV show is Barney and Friends.

Well, it used to be, until last night.

Yesterday, I was looking at my TV Guide, and I saw something that caught my eye:

Tonight ONLY! A LOST EPISODE OF BARNEY AND FRIENDS. FIRST AND ONLY CHANCE TO SEE IT! AIRS AT 7:00!

Naturally, I asked my kids if they wanted to see it. Obviously, they said, "Yes." I got the popcorn ready. They love to eat popcorn while watching Barney

When the time finally arrived, they ran into the living room, turned on the TV, and sat down on the couch with me. It started, the theme music playing.

However, something wasn't right.

For starters, I could vaguely hear whispering during the music, and it sounded creepy. I shrugged it off, assuring myself that it was just my imagination. Anyway, the episode began like it always does, with the kids talking about something while holding a doll version of barney. Then, POOF! He comes to life, giggling like an idiot. He started speaking, and I turned it up slightly so we could hear it.

Barney sounded slightly weird, as if two people were talking at once: one with his normal voice, and another that sounded....demonic, to say the least. I tried to ignore it. That's when I heard Barney say, "Hi, kids. (childish giggling) Today, I'm going to teach you about....DEATH!"

I nearly fell out of my seat when I heard that. I wanted to turn it off, but for some reason, I..I couldn't. The show kept going.

Child 1: What's death, Barney?

Barney: This is. (His face suddenly turns angry, and he grows teeth. He laughs evilly, and he bites the poor child's head off)

For some reason, my children kept watching, not affected by the obviously disturbing stuff going on. Barney then proceeded to kill all of the children one by one, each time roaring. The children at this point started to run away from barney, screaming and crying for their parents to save them.

Barney just chuckled, and said in a demonic voice, "Mommy and daddy can't help you!" And he bit the helpless children in half, eating their brains and stomachs. Then, the green girl dinosaur and the yellow dinosaur came in, apparently not noticing the dead children.

"Well, Barney," the green one said. "What did we learn today?" Barney grinned an evil grin and said directly to the camera.

Remember, Kiddies. Don't bother locking your doors and hiding under the bed, because, sooner or later, I WILL FIND YOU AND KILL YOU ALL! (demonic laughter)

The rest of the damn episode showed a distorted picture of Barney, with a blood-curdling scream. That was the last straw. I reached for the remote, and turned it off. I looked to my left, and I realized that my children were nowhere to be seen. Thinking that they already ran into their room, I went in there. However, I didn't find them. That's when a voice behind me said "It's too late, Steven. I've already killed them. And now, I'm going to kill you."

I turned around to see a demonic, blood covered Barney slowly walking towards me. Even while he killed me, he still sang that FUCKING SONG!

"I LOVE YOU.....YOU LOVE ME.....WE'RE A HAPPY FAMILY....."

For starters, I could vaguely hear whispering during the music, and it sounded creepy. I shrugged it off, assuring myself that it was probably a blunder off set. Anyway, the episode began like it always does, with the kids talking about something while holding a doll version of barney. The doll was different though - it was frowning. The children sounded melancholy, you couldn't understand what they were saying, but you knew they were traumatized. One of the children started crying, they stopped talking and placed the doll on a nearby bench and walked inside. The camera zooms in on the doll. It becomes noticeable that the Barney doll wasn't just frowning, it seemed terrified. The shot fades out and in again and against a black background, "Barney and Friends" appears in white text. No audio was played during this.

Barney sounded slightly weird, as if he was hiding something, to say the least. I tried to ignore it. That's when I heard Barney say, "Hi, kids. Today, I'm going to teach you about..."(The shot fades to black again)"...death" The shot stayed black for about 30 seconds after that.

I nearly fell out of my seat when I heard that. I wanted to turn it off, but for some reason, I couldn't. The show faded in, Barney and the children are walking through a cemetery, no words were spoken. The crying child from earlier was gone. They walked through this large cemetery for what seemed to be a long time. One of the children spoke. He looked at barney, a sad, empty look in his eyes. "What is death, Barney?" Barneys face was zoomed in on, and was changed. It looked like the terrified doll from earlier. "This is" It zooms out to a large gravestone with the crying child from earlier laying there, hands on his chest, as if he were in a coffin, but rather he was just placed in that position right there in front of a tombstone in his deathsuit.

For some reason, my children kept watching, not affected by the obviously disturbing stuff going on. Barney remained in silence, staring at the corpse. The children at this point started to walk away from the grave, crying for their parents.

Barney just stared in silence, and walked off screen in the same direction of the children. The camera zoomed in the the corpse, and faded out.

The camera fades in to a strange house, where saddened faces were on the outside of the windows, looking in.

Barney and the children are sitting in a living room of sorts, in dead silence. One of the children puts his head in his hands a sobs quietly. and Barney walks over and pats him on the back, afterwards walking out the door of the strange house, where a bunch of hands started reaching out from each side of the door, pulling at him.

The shot of the boy laying in front of the tombstone returns, but this time, he's holding the barney doll. It's smiling like usual, and silent credits fade in.
