 There was once a lost episode of The Simpsons that actually aired three times. You see, the production of this episode was very hard to do. This episode of The Simpsons was called, Alternative Springfield, and this episode was creepy as hell. It didn't feature any door and all that stuff. But it was outright disturbing for its creepy imagery. This episode apparently terrified many audiences who watched it. Or it didn't swoop them that much, it didn't give them thoughts of self-harm, nor PTSD, that would be absolutely ridiculous. But it did cause a lot of childhood trauma for me, and yes I did watch this lost episode of The Simpsons when it aired. I did in fact, watch this episode of The Simpsons, and it did freight me out a little, but I got out of it. Since it was just an episode of The Simpsons. But when I first saw it, it shook me. The episode first aired in 1993, then reared in 2007, and then reared again in 2014. It was just into my mind when I was in the office, when I heard somebody talking about this episode. So I went on a hunt for it, and I apparently found it on the internet. Basically the episode was lost for unknown reasons, but my best guess is that this wasn't a Treehouse of Horror episode, and actually was the final episode of Season 4. On the video of this episode, please mind that I forgot in this episode years later. Here's how the episode goes. The episode begins with the normal intro, especially with that couch bag they usually put into. Nothing too special. Anyway, the episode begins with The Simpsons family, watching the television of a news report of a restaurant closing down. This of course, disappointed Homer. It didn't make him sad, but rather disappointed. It isn't known why the restaurant even closed in the first place. The episode continues with Homer and Marge going to bed, but for some strange and weird reason, Lisa and Bart wouldn't go to bed. They kept watching the television of what appears to be a horror film. Homer goes to bed and sleeps. The bedroom door was not shut, but rather open for some reason, making the noise through Homer's ears in which he would dream, which we will get into later on. But, Lisa and Bart kept watching the movie, which lasted for a few more seconds. I was confused for a bit, this wasn't a tree house of horror episode. But rather than a random episode, I continued watching this specific episode. I wasn't really scared or anything, but have completely forgotten this weird lost episode that aired three times. But I continued watching it, and what happened next would creep me out a little. It starts with a dream of Homer in a white space. Like, nothing but white. You know that SpongeBob SquarePants episode, where Squidward travels into a place of emptiness all by himself, only to freak out from a bunch of echoing voices to be heard. Well just like that, but a few seconds in when Homer was exploring what's going on, something appeared, and it was apparently a world, or some sort of village that randomly appears out of nowhere. Homer explores this weird village called Springfield. And yes, it was Springfield. I randomly heard these noises in one of the buildings. I wasn't relieved on what this event was. A sound coming from some sort of restaurant that sounds like pounding. Homer continues exploring and notices the pounding. He wanted to go in there, but couldn't because of how creepy it got. Homer went into a lot of piers to look a lot like his house, the house had a lot of piers to look like the family. But they were nothing more than random mannequins just sitting there. Homer felt anxious. Mars, where are you? Homer said in a soft worried tone. He continues exploring, until the sounds in the restaurant continue getting louder and louder. Homer explores this random church, no one was there. The sounds of the restaurant increased, and Homer had it, so he decided to go into the restaurant. He went into this random restaurant and was paranoid. He grabs his flashlight and looks around. Eventually, until, not not knock, a figure runs at Homer. Homer manages to run out of the restaurant, and we get to see what this figure was. It was a very tall figure, to have a terrifying spider head. It wasn't very realistic, but it was just absolutely terrifying. I remembered, this used to scare the shit out of me when I first viewed it. The figure also had these creepy hands, and made this weird ass screech. Homer ran as fast as he could, but that was when he ran into another entity. A weird looking man with a pig head. This person was dubbed as, Pigman, and made this creepy ass demonic squeal that would traumatize any kid who would watch this. The pig creature would then attack Homer, and the latter wakes up. Realizing it was a random nightmare he had. The episode ended with the TV, which was the horror film Bart and Lisa would watch, would end at that point. My questions on why this episode was very unknown. I have no clue why this was made, but my best guess was that this was initially going to be a treehouse of horror special. It didn't really fright me out now, but back then it did.
