Ready for a good Creepypasta? No? Well, me either...but don't worry, this one isn't THAT scary, and not that good either, but let's take a look at it anyway.
Legend has it that there is a rare Simpsons episode that is considered a "lost" episode. In the first season, the episode was entitled Dead Bart. Fans supposedly asked about it at conventions, but folks like David Silverman would refuse to even talk about it. They also warned never to mention this episode to Matt Groening, the show's creator. A blogger stated that he did approach Groening at a convention and brought up the lost episode. Groening almost broke down, but he was able to write down what was a website link. After the blogger got home, he types in the address, and there was a download link of the episode. It gave his computer a lot of viruses and ruined the computer completely, but not before he put the file on a disc. When watching it, Bart falls off of a plane and dies. The blogger describes his corpse as being so realistic. The family becomes sad and looks distressed. They go to visit Bart's grave. Springfield looked deserted, and Bart's corpse was not buried in the graveyard. The twist of this story is that the episode in the background had death dates of all of The Simpsons' guest stars including some that nobody would heard of back when the first season aired, nor appeared in the first season. Michael Jackson's and George Harrison's deaths for example, are exactly the years that they died. The even creepier part is that most of the ones that are still alive have the same death date.
Was there ever a lost episode called Dead Bart. Well...no. It's a Creepypasta. While it's one of the most popular cartoon ones, it is also one of the weaker ones too. The reason being is because this wasn't something that could cause nightmares nor did it involve any murders of any kind. It basically can be assumed that since the story claimed Matt Groening wrote the script is that he must have been visited by....something (God or the devil) telling him when everybody will die and what the future holds (hence celebrities not yet on the show at the time). We've all heard that story before, especially with 2012, which actually became a movie. Remember 2012? How about Y2K?
The reason for this story is to open back up a topic of what could be a conspiracy theory that I believe is true about The Simpsons: The writers and other staff members involved can predict the future. They can tell it with subliminal messages or as a flat out joke. Donald Trump running for president. 9/11 (allegedly). Even just recently with Arnold Palmer. A half an hour after it was announced of his death, Homer makes a joke in the new episode talking about Arnold Palmer. Not in bad taste mind you, just bad timing. Why would that be in there???? Publicity??? Remember, it takes months for an episode to be made for The Simpsons. Maybe....just maybe....Homer Simpson knows something....WE DON'T...............
There are better lost episode stories out there. Some are true (Censored 11), others are just really good stories (Squidward's Suicide). This one is not a bad starter for those wanting to get into Creepypasta. Believe me, it's tame compared to others.
