Invader Zim is More DISTURBING Than You Remember...

rimworld moment

I rewatched and I started to get the dark shit behind it

That Invader Zim Halloween Special was my introduction to psychological horror, and it scared me BADLY. And I just ended up feeling bad for Dib because he was forced into a nuthouse instead of actually getting substantial help.

Edit: ALSO, regarding the endings of some episodes (such as the one where Zim loses his brain), this show is running on little to no continuity. There was another episode you didn’t cover that ends with Zim and Dib being turned into oversized sausages stuck in an abandoned house, but of course those two ended up untouched by the next episode.

This show only exists bc someone read “Johnny the homicidal maniac” and thought it would be a great idea for a kids show lol

Like I'm I really the only one who thinks Invader Zim is basically Nickelodeon's Courage the Cowardly Dog.

This is my point like seriously which cartoon was more dark and creepy for kids?
Courage the Cowardly Dog or Invader Zim?

I'm so glad this show premiered just before I graduated high school so I was able to watch a good solid half of it before going to college and it getting canceled after being on a real awful schedule. Bought the DVD set in the mid-aughts and caught the rest and found it even more brilliant.

1 of the first cartoon depicting a devil would be power puff girls

He did well, now zim is fat, a true American

Your welcome, take care of your swiggly spooch

I went to high school with the kid who murdered a woman and blamed invader zim for his fascination with removing organs.... scott dyleski was his name... it was a really big story back in the day. I think he may have been set up. But then again her insides were removed. N he did have a fascination with invader zim... so who knows..

Honestly such a brilliantly funny show dude, I can’t believe they were trying to get kids 2-11 to watch this! I remember I liked it when I was around 10-11 but it DID freak me out. If a station like adult swim had it im sure it could have had an amazing run

Low hanging fruit is is easiest to pick.

what type of great depression mental illysum school does dib and zim take 😭

Honestly Dark Harvest is the one episode I remember the most because it left a lasting impact on me. I didn't remember the whole thing nor its name, but I did remember the image of Zim vomiting an intestine like a new grotesque tongue.

I wasn't an easily scarred kid when it came to gross-out (mainly because I knew it wasn't real) but Dark Harvest felt like baby's first Amnesia.

I think there should always be a cycle of horror kids shows, that bring that once one ends a new one takes it's place, but never two at the same time. To show kids that not everything is bright and sunny, but that they can live bright and sunny with their other shows.

I remember having nightmares because of this Halloween episode.

Orifessor Membrane doing something nice for Dib!? Scientifically Impossible!

Mmmm, yeeeeaaaaah. Kinda hard not to see WHY this show was cancelled....
