Thank you so much for your support :D

I love how this seems like the Red Mist isn’t some sort of actual entity but representative of Squidward’s suicidal thoughts, speaking as someone who has struggled with it before.

Patchy: "That's it? That's the lost episode? It's just _EXISTENTIAL HORROR_ "

That ending is perfect. Literally perfect. The “squidward! Squidward? SQUIDWAAAAAAA-“ line is a perfect representation of either finding, or finding out someone close to you has killed themselves and the conversation between spongebob and Patrick afterwards almost made me cry

I really like the added epilogue with spongebob and patrick talking, something about them not acting like dumbasses for once is really likeable.

i love the idea of people reworking on older and cliché creepypastas to make them genuinely good and scary. this was so well done and captures more of the energy that i imagined back when i was a kid reading red mist.

Such a beautiful retake on Red Mist. Also, the part where Spongebob said "Thank you for telling me what you've just said earlier, I really needed it" hitted me like a bullet train since Spongebob is a very nice character whom I can relate too.

I like how this remake essentially overcomes the trauma of the original.

This is definitely the definitive version of the Red Mist creepypasta it's both scary and atmospheric,but it doesn't just randomly go into the horror it slowly leads into it and than the ending.....

I know Squidward is obligated to act formal when welcoming guests, but he genuinely looks so happy that so many people came to watch him play.

Not only it is scary, it's sad, I love when Vibingleaf adds up the emotions that's necessary for the settings, or drop down the fear when it wasn't really needed

I sort of wish there was a version of Red Mist with a somewhat happier ending where Squidward survives his attempt. Mr. Krabs is sitting alone in his office, wondering if he overworked him and wracked with guilt. SpongeBob nervously paces throughout his house, his childlike innocence shattered after seeing such a sight so close to him. Squidward sitting in his hospital bed, staring out his hospital bed, wondering why he survived, if he was just born to suffer. Then he comes home, and life is…oddly different. Mr. Krabs is oddly lax with Squidward slacking off at the cash register, he can’t remember the last time he could hear SpongeBob laughing outside his house. Even Squilliam, his lifelong rival, isn’t as antagonistic as he used to be. He hasn’t picked up the clarinet in months, though.

5:22 is a smart idea to let Spongebob see Squidwards corpse. Most of the time Spongebob just walks in uninvited in most episodes.

5:22 this part is truly heartbreaking to know that spongebob saw squidward dead and can do nothing to bring him back and be a better person...

The fact that Patrick shows real responsibility and the fact that he’s aware of these sorts of things makes me feel like Patrick isn’t what everybody thinks he is.

THIS. This is the version of Patrick that we're missing in modern SpongeBob. He may be dumb, but he's not a monster. He genuinely cares about SpongeBob and acts more like his Season 1 self.

The part where SpongeBob yelled Squidward’s name gave me chills. Genuinely.

I love how this shows a actual story and is not random ass spooky stuff. It also ends with a pretty bittersweet ending too.

Crazy how even slow pictures can still create the illusion of seeing the whole story come to life

THE WAY HOW I ACTUALLY STARTED CRYING AT THE END THIS ACTUAULLY MADE ME SOB, IT WAS SO SS TO SEE SPONGEBOB AND PATRICK LOOKING SO SAD ABOUT SQUIDWARD…. ALSO SQUIDWARD WAS MY FAVOROTE CHARACTER IM SOBBING!! I STARTED SOBBING AT THE SHOTGUN PART!! 😢😢😭😭😭

This. This is what Red Mist could've been. The creators absolutely nailed this. I like how in some parts, the artwork looks unfinished and glitched out. And in others, it actually looks scary. They did great at doing what the original Red Mist couldn't.

What I love about Red Mist Retake is that it turns the story into something completely different in the most unique way I've ever seen. Squidward's Suicide goes from a lost episode made by a deranged serial killer to possibly an animatic made by a grieving animator working at Nick who secretly made this as their way to cope and was never meant to be seen by anyone else.

I never thought a Red Mist remake would make me cry, but this one was made with care and heart unlike the others. I just subscribed, you deserve it.

that image at 5:28 is your magnum opus. you managed to perfectly encapsulate my childhood nightmares in one shot. that terrifying feeling of "shit, i'm not supposed to witness this" in full force... haunting. bravo, seriously, fantastic work.

It's scary, it's weird, but most importantly it's sad and moving.

Probably Spongebob appearing faceless or with a censored face in some frames means that he was going to be the Red Mist next victim if Patrick didn't stopped his sadness from getting worse

No matter what, even when it seems like there’s no way out, that you’ve hit rock bottom, there’s always an option. It’s never the end and the end isn’t an escape.

are we not gonna talk about how we hear squidwards blood GUSHING after he does the deed?

"A Certain Conversation" really depicts Spongebob and Patrick well. It's incredible. At the end of the day, these are still the same characters we know, not some cheap horror versions. No matter what happens, they're still friends. And they always will be.

I love how this isn't just edgy and unrealistic "Squidward killed himself 😱😱😱" type of ordeal but more of a realistic depiction and that conversation between Pat and SpongeBob at the end. Damn... Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The sad fact spongebob always be nice to squid even squidward was rude to spongebob for more than 100+ episodes

the scene with spongebob and patrick at the end was so wonderfully in character. despite subject matter this dark never even coming close to being discussed in the actual show, i could read the dialogue between them in their voices perfectly and it honestly made me tear up. great job, dude.

It feels like the Red Mist itself is more of a state of mind than an entity or event. Almost like a visual depiction of a mental health spiral. The scene where that fish pleas with squidward and warns him of the coming Red Mist is so dissonant and so sudden, and I wanna say it’s a good representation of the first warning signs of declining mental health. The vague hint that something isn’t right. But squidward didn’t confront or recognize that in himself until he had already sunk well beyond the breaking point post-concert, and the Mist engulfs him that very night, when he’s alone with only his thoughts. You can even see SpongeBob beginning to experience that distortion just as Patrick came to talk to him. It’s a faint and eerie presence throughout the conversation, but it’s definitely not the oppressive Red Mist we saw earlier. Maybe that’s because SpongeBob’s getting the care and support he needs in that moment. A mental health crisis isn’t always as apparent from the outside as it is to the one suffering. That’s why it’s so important to check in if you start to see that something’s wrong. Even a small conversation, or a hug, or a thoughtful gesture can change everything. Y’all stay safe out there and be well tonight. Remember that you never have to suffer alone.

As somebody who rolls my eyes at the meaningless shock value of the original Squidward's Suicide/Red Mist I really like this take. I like how the whole 'ooo pictures of dead children how spoooooky' shit is replaced with vague imagery of eldritch horrors that leaves room for imagination while not being unnecessarily edgy, you know? The characterisation and lack of any 'hyperrealism' makes this actually feel like a rough draft of a Spongebob episode.

I would like to give my perspective on this beautifully made video: This is a exaggerated symbolic comic about a suicidal person with Schizophrenia or another disease that causes hallucinations. Squidward clearly has nothing to live for, and succumbs to the “Red Mist” which is a symbolic way to describe suicidal thoughts. When Squidward comes home, he tries to go to sleep, but shortly after suffers hallucinations which, along with his suicidal thoughts, made him grab his shotgun, and shot himself in the forehead with it. Then, SpongeBob knocks on Squidward’s door, probably to check if he is ok, but as he opens the door, he already knew, it was too late. Afterward, you hear ambulance sirens, which signify that SpongeBob called 911, and then SpongeBob and Patrick both share a conversation about what they could have done, cherishing their memories, and friendship with themselves and Squidward. Finally, you see a uncanny and disturbing image with some sort of hellish figures in it, along with some very strange sounds. I have barely any idea what this could possibly mean, but it is probably Satanic creatures, which torture Squidward in hell. My evidence for this in this video, is you see fire at 5:27, which probably mean that Squidward, unfortunately, went to hell. Another thing is that, in most religions, suicide is considered a sin. There is a few interesting details I would like to note to understand the story a little more: One: The fish that warned him about the “Red Mist” was most likely another hallucination, which unfortunately Squidward ignored. Two: You see a few pictures of Squidward dead in between the “Red Mist” section of the video. They show Squidward lying on the ground, with a black censor bar covering most of his face in the pictures, which is proof that Squidward indeed, shot himself in the forehead.

1 year later, and this is still one of the best demonstrations of the process of going through depression. This video is very well made and the ending where SpongeBob and Patrick understood what had happened and was going through losing a friend, instead of being their usual selves, filled with joy.

I love how this actually gives off the vibes of an unfinished episode, the way it's missing most of the animation and voice acting.

god, I adore that establishing shot at 3:21, such an intense feeling of dread and doom and unreal imagery like something out of a nightmare where you’re just purely helpless

The Ending made it feel like more season one when spongebob felt other emotions apart from happiness

I believe this is more sad than scary seeing how much Squidward suffered, and I think the red mist and stuff is all in his head because he's depressed

This whole thing feels like one of those nightmares you’d have as a kid that make you wake up in a cold sweat afterwards, not wanting to go back to sleep for another 2 or three hours. This gave me that same feeling of dread, having been a child and going through that trauma before, it’s eerie as f*ck how well done this is.

“A Certain Conversation” is by far one of the most powerful scenes I’ve ever seen from a SpongeBob creepypasta. The fact that they’re just having a conversation about Squidwards loss and handling it very maturely is so powerful that I actually cried a bit. Bravo, this remake was stunning

I have an understanding theory for this video: At the beginning, we can see a fish offering him something random. The fish goes away, but squidward sees the fish again warning him about the “red mist”. Basically warning him not to do the show because he was warning him about getting humiliated and…you know what’s happens after being the red mist is not real. It is just the grief the takes over squidward because of the humiliation. At first he doesn’t understand, but after the humiliation squidward is drawn into the suicidal thoughts because he worked so hard for the show. You might be thinking- why is it such a big deal?? Well, squidward as the grumpy character he is doesn’t put a lot of work and emotion into things. This is one of the first times he did. The red mist takes over his mind and he hallucinates it actually taking over him. The last scene of him was when he committed. The creature we see that “shot him” is actually just the mental being of tragedy, humiliation, and any other negative thoughts. Though he sees it a different way then committing, but knowing deep down it was just himself all along. And that there was not actually any “red mist”. There was no monster that killed him. It was squidward, by himself.

Oh that last bit hurts. This retake thing is going to leave a more lasting impression that the original ever could. Well done

Depression is a hell of it's own. To whomever deals with depression. You're never alone, you're loved and people care about you. To those who lost loved ones to suicide. I'm so sorry and I hope that mental health issues are discussed more.

5:24 ergh, I could just picture spongebob walking into squidwards house and finding him with his face ripped to shreds and blood everywhere... and then shouting Patrick’s name in terror and shock... that part actually made me feel ill. I never really cared for red mist but your interpretation of it is outstanding. Marvelous job sir 👍

Man, you started working on this in my birthday! Why do i feel special now-

I love how at the end of each of the retakes there's always a scene that's more of sad than scary, like the grieving retake. It makes the lost episodes an actual story instead of some random creepy moments put together

this one honestly made me feel extremely sad, like in the original Red Mist the suicide feels like it was purely for shock value but here it's genuinely kinda heart breaking but also still really creepy

I don’t know if it was because I was in a negative mood, but the scene where SpongeBob and Patrick were talking about Squidward’s death made me cry so bad. This is probably the only creepypasta I’ve seen that has made me feel something other than fear. Which is also something most creepypastas fail to do. Definitely one of the best creepypastas I’ve seen. I wish I can like twice.

Its DEFINITLY the best interpretation of „Red Mist” episode in entire internet. What i like the most in creepypasta remake is when it tries to act like an normal episode of cartoon it come’s from and this video is one of my favorite’s

"Bandages can heal wonds, exept emotional ones"

When I saw the ending bit between Pat and Bob, I was heart wrenched. My dad had thoughts of suicide when my mom had left him a few years ago. They worked things out thankfully, but I was not expecting this to hit so hard not only in scares and atmosphere but emotion as well. That part where Bob said he wished he'd been a better friend reminded me so much of myself trying to be a better son for both my parents. This was amazing and you deserve all the praise. This was the most spine-chilling, and mind opening thing I've seen in a while. Much love and support.

"Thank you for telling me what you've just said earlier, I really needed it" "What thing?" They incorporated Patrick's humor. I'm convinced. This is a masterpiece.

This feels more saddening than scary.

Definitely the best retake of any creepypasta here on RU-vid. Great job, dude. It still holds up after all this time.

This is so high quality actually, everything about this remake feels great, it feels less empty than the original one and just more fitting in terms of spongebob and patrick feeling bad for him instead of making fun of him like in the original

This is definitely the best version of the Red Mist; it mixes 2010 creepypasta tropes with 2020 ARG-atmosphere, and it's effective.

Red mist mentioned, great split vertical

honest, "End" nearly gave me 3 chills down my spine, just looking at those corrupted souls.

As somebody who lost a friend to depression.... this hits home....

5:27 this scene made me shit my pants (not literally but it was very disturbing) the fact that you can hear spongebob walk into squidwards house after hearing the shotgun and screaming squidwards name after seeing his body is absolutely nerveracking. And the fact that your hearing is the last thing to stop functioning after you die adds to that creepiness factor.

Man, your animations/retakes are just masterpiece. All red mists animations compared to this are nothing. The blurry used in this animation reminds me of the times when I watched on a box TV. It's also sad to see squidward being doped and depressed. Red mist is prob. the creepypasta of all time. I love your retakes so much. They give me goosebumps. Keep good job man. Also you deserved new subscriber;)

I love when horror is about someone's suicidal thoughts and misery. It's super relatable

I love that the Red Mist isn’t just a creepypasta anymore. Its a perfect representation of struggling with suicide thoughts. Thank you comment section, for going further in detail.

The conversation between Spongebob and Patrick was oddly beautiful, it represents the feeling of loosing a loved one, and trying to go on in life, the scene felt like a warm hug someone gives you to feel better. On top of that everything else was also fantastic. It really caught me off guard with the little jumpscares.

"The suicide of heart begins with questioning self.' My heart is with anyone who is fighting their inner demons ❤️‍🔥

You represented me in some way A nobody scrolling through life, feeling angry, sad, depressed of your own sick life, you feel like you are nobody, you feel like nobody is there for you, you feel like whatever you do, couldnt make yourself or anyone proud. It is like when you keep trying, you keep failing and humilating yourself even more. To suicidal people out there like me now, Even i cannot help myself now but please dont give up on your life, there is ups and downs no matter what The only thing you can control is your own life and decisions, you cannot control events, you cannot control reality but just remember, Life is like a truck hitting you hard, however you have to keep standing up to keep going. Love yall and never give up.

The fact that you still managed to sneak in Patrick’s humor during the certain conversation is genius

5:24 What makes this part even more horrifying is that your hearing is the last thing to stop functioning when you die. Meaning this is actually somewhat ACCURATE to real life for some suicide victims hearing their families cries after seeing them. edit: If I had a nickel for each of the replies that missed when I said "accurate to real life for SOME suicide victims," I actually don't know how much money I would have because I'm bad at math.

I love the way during the "A Certain Conversation" segment, it goes full on Silent Hill 2 and has Patrick comforting poor Spongebob over losing Squidward... As they both stare at the sunset. Any of you folks who feel down in life, feeling like giving up, feeling like Squidward; never give up. no matter how much it doesn't seem like it... *someone* loves you, cares for you, thinks about you... And to end it all will just leave them as heart broken as you are now. Just know that; you are loved, and push forward, soldier... because I, and a handful of others, are VERY proud of you for making it this far. ❤️

Seeing the conversation between patrick and spongebob after squidward had died was really heart tugging. Depression really REALLY sucks. And despite not having experienced it, I can definitely sympathize with those who experienced it. Red Mist has finally redeemed itself by going from being an atrocious creepypasta to being a thought-provoking piece of art.

This seems a lot more accurate to the version I read myself. It also has just… you know… That vibe of “this was never supposed to be seen with human eyes” you get me?

I feared for jumpscares, yet none came. This was one of the scariest videos I've seen though, and you demonstrated that you don't need jumpscares or loud sudden noises to scare people. This conveyed horror and fear and depression in ways I didn't expect. You deserve a like

I remember reading this one years back and thinking it was nothing more than a dark and twisted story, and that's it, still scary, but this rendition depicts the downward spiral of depression so well, and that journey from the mind to the hands is just a block away, I know because last month I tried to end my life and let me tell you, if anyone reading this comment is thinking about it, please don't, you have no idea how loved you are before hand, but when I got out of the hospital and held by my closest friends and family, that's when I realized who I almost left behind and how loved I truly am, and you are too, please trust me when I say this, seek help and keep breathing

This is one of the best retakes ever.

The Red Mist in this version looks like a symbolism for all the dark thoughts and negative emotions of our minds. All the things that sometimes don't even exist anywhere except inside of our heads that can strike us to the extreme any time, but only if we let them do.

This is what red mist could have been. This feels way more scarier then the actual Creepypasta it’s self. The fact the unfinished animation and voice acting makes it more creepy and so uncanny. It reminds a lot of the analog that this decade is going through. There’s more detail. I feel like this is similar to the sonic.exe situation where someone made it an entire analog series off of it. And it was actually good. This is really good.

DUDE I JUST REALIZED, WHEN YOU BLEED IN WATER, IT IS RED MIST OMG I GET IT NOW

Lobotomy corp red mist fans when they click a video titled red mist and get bombarded with paranoia and eternal nightmares instead:

I teared up at Spongebob blaming himself for what happened, the conversation at the end was genuinely heartwarming and bittersweet, and I loved that you kept Patrick in character with him forgetting what he just said. This was beautiful and did the original story *so much* justice. I especially love how you referenced the dead children photos in a way that naturally fit into the story, rather than just being slapped on there for cheap shock value. I also love how the concert scene didn't overstay it's welcome while still being able to show how devastating it was for Squidward.

this has to be the best red mist retake, it shows how serious a situation like this is instead of just trying to scare the shit out of you, this did the red mist creepypasta justice

It's pretty fantastic on how you were able to make Patrick say something meaningful and also keep him in character.

5:50 scene is so calming and sad😢

Not gonna lie, this absolutely mops the floor with both the original Red Mist and Squidward’s Suicide! My biggest gripe with SS/RM (besides the constant tense-swapping, the intern bs, and pretty much everything) was that there wasn’t much to it. It was just done to shock you. You took Squidward’s… well, suicide, and gave it an actual impact. You gave Red Mist a proper ending. Good work man!

This is so sad, the fact the SpongeBob yelled out is name. This is proof that suicidal thoughts, and having horrible mental health can lead to suicide. The red mist is basically a metal health problem that some fishes get, and the fish that walked up to Squidward warning him about the red mist, was most likely a ghost telling him that its coming for him.

You see, this. This is why I’m glad to be subscribed to VibingLeaf. Your videos are the perfect mixture of unsettling, creepy, and sad all at once. No unnecessary jumpscares, just pure unsettlement of what’s to come next and the emotions that hit you at the end. Love your retakes on these.

I was about to cry when i seen this 😭😭😭 (R.I.P Squidward)

Scary, heart wrenching and an incredibly realistic rendition instead of being edgy for the sake of it, I have no words, this is a masterpiece dude. I love it 100000000/10

Hearing SpongeBob walking in to see Squidward dead followed by sirens just fucking broke me. I'm going through my own shit and it's always the fact that you know what pain the people closest to you will go through if you choose to give up. But just as importantly so, the tone of this entire video puts into perspective how fucking terrifying death is. This video may have genuinely scared me away from ending it. And for that, I may just have to thank you if I ever come back later.

this is Internet-age, artesanal arthouse horror I loved everything about this It's the fact that it has the cadency of an actual SpongeBob episode, the atmosphere feels just like a normal goofy SpongeBob episode, but from early on there's _subtle_ hints that something's wrong That's what makes it so eerie And then Squidward battling suicidal thoughts represented as the Red Mist... this whole video *feels* like a mental crisis.

wow, just wow. this is SO GOOD!! thank you for making this piece of art!!

The music at the end where SpongeBob and Patrick share a heartfelt conversation between each other in regards to Squidward's suicide is so calming. It's like seeing the light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

Despite how it may seem I feel like the lack of animation kinda ads to the nature of this recreation of Red Mist. The stagnation of the video itself helps add to not only the tone but the atmosphere, and it helpes alot in turning such a mid-creepypasta into a masterpiece. This is probably the best recreation of Red Mist, and redeemed most of the creepypasta to me, and for that. I say thanks.

The part where Patrick and spongebob talked with each other made me cry. Good video btw

Holy shit I cried to this. Thank you for making this. It perfectly programs Squidward and depression let alone suicidal thoughts. Much love my friend.

4:06 The way you implemented the iconic screen is so well done

Spongebob episodes be silly as hell and randomly get a shot like this 5:29

this... THIS IS PEAK. this is the best re-take ever effing awesome dude
