Yay, you found the Zuko shirt that I lost because I didn’t save the image when I found it the first time!
Mighty B is interesting, though. The show came out early 2008, so I highly doubt that was used for the 2007 Shocktober season. It might be one that was added for Shocktober 2 in 2008. Though, that image with Bessie is from 2009, did they do Shocktober 3 years in a row, or was that just using assets from Shocktober, I wonder.
Well, in the new image it seems like they reused shocktober 3 times, it says october 31 of 2009, also we see a yellow thing that Idk why, but it looks like Arnold's hair
Dude, if you are coming here just to post that, we wont stop searching for this, if you don't like it get lost, we could have helped you if you weren't that mean, but you choosed to come here for absolutelly no reason at all and say that. We didn't did anything bad to you.
Hello! Going to be upfront, I’m new to the LMW forum so please bear with me if I miss anything or if this isn’t quite the right place for this thread.
While helping out with the search for the Nicktoons Zombified bumpers, I was reminded of another set of Nickelodeon Halloween bumpers that I’ve tried to find off and on for years with no luck. I’m starting to think that they, too, are lost media and I wanted to see what folks here might be able to dig up.
During October 2007, Nickelodeon branded its Halloween celebration as Shocktober. During this, the channel aired bumpers that featured art of its various Nicktoons characters as various Halloween monster staples. To my memory, the bumpers consisted of various pans over the art, followed by the full image alongside the “Shocktober” branding. I don’t remember what audio accompanied the bumpers, if it was just spooky music or if something was spoken.
I remember the art being really cool, but I don’t remember what ANY of them looked like, except Aang and Katara (and even then, I remembered Katara being a vampire, when really she was apparently a spirit). I couldn’t even remember what characters were included beyond characters from Avatar and SpongeBob.
Here’s what I’ve been able to find so far in my own research: I know they aired in 2007 because I found posts I had made online in 2007 talking about the Aang and Katara bumpers.
I have tried various times to find the bumpers on YouTube, to no success. When searching for Zombified, I was also on the lookout for Shocktober stuff.
Nickelodeon apparently re-used the Shocktober branding in 2008, so there may have been similar bumpers that year as well. The article I found discussing it also had an image of the SpongeBob Shocktober art: www.animationmagazine.net/2008/10/nick-channels-celebrate-shocktober/
In what was my biggest and yet most disappointing discovery, through my own fuzzy memories of my 2000’s internet habits taking me through archives of unexpected sites, I FOUND THE WEBSITE OF SOMEONE WHO WORKED ON THE BUMPERS! Unfortunately, the site no longer exists. Fortunately, the Wayback Machine has captures of it, including a blog post about the Shocktober art! Unfortunately again, the Wayback Machine apparently didn’t save the actual images, and all of his social media mentioned on the site appears to have been deactivated. web.archive.org/web/20141023121617/http://iheartrgb.com:80/shocktober
Even without the images, there’s some interesting info on the blog:
It does give names of other people involved, but I don’t know the first thing about finding contact info for stuff like this, much less actually reaching out.
The image names give us an idea of what some of them were: TakWolf, SpongeBob, Sokka, Samula, Plankton, Patrick, KataraGhost, JeeraGhoul, Squidward, Peck, and CosmoFly. Spongebob is presumably the same as the one from the previous article, and Sokka and Katara are included with the shirts I found below. It seems that Tak from Tak and the Power of Juju was drawn as a wolf or werewolf, Jeera (unfamiliar with the character) was a ghoul, and Cosmo from FOP was some kind of fly hybrid. I don’t know if Samula is a character I don’t recognize, or if it’s a Sam-Dracula; I’m unfamiliar with Peck, and the rest are SpongeBob characters.
(How I found the site is kinda a long story and I assume not fully relevant, but I can tell it later if anyone’s curious or thinks it can help.)
So that’s what I’ve dug up so far. Honestly, I just want to be able to see and appreciate the art made for these bumpers again, and see if I do actually remember more than just the two Avatar ones I saw and posted about online fifteen years ago. But it would be really cool to have another set of Nickelodeon commercial bumpers marked off the list as found.
naruto2500 do not derail other users' searches with pointless negativity, between this and your other thread, you're on a fast track to getting banned. This is your first warning.
Ignoring the attempted derailment. A thought recently occurred to me, has anyone tried checking bumper/commercial compilations on video streaming sites outside of YouTube? Vimeo, Dailymotion, and the internet archive are ones I remember from the Zombified search. I remember checking them for Zombified, I don’t remember if I looked back then on those sites for Shocktober.
And now we have 3 potential years to check: 2007 for sure, 2008 probably, and 2009 maybe.

well, I found the squidward one on YT, but I haven't found any other bumper, that could work for sure

I wasn't derailing anything I'm tired of people going and looking for pointless stuff rather than actual lost media like a lost movie

Dude, we were fine here, but you came here and began to swear, we could helped you, but no, you had to come here just to nothing, if you are not gonna help, you should (at least) stop writing all of those hate comments
Hey all, the user naruto2500 has since been banned. Unfortunately, I do not know how to put the banned banner onto their profile page, but trust and believe they are gone-zo.

Thank you so much!
Though, I have to ask, is there any way to get their negativity off the thread, or should we just tell people to ignore page 3 once the thread gets to page 4 (which would probably be soon)?

Before the topic derailed for a bit, I just remembered that the 2nd Shocktober event from 2008, at least 2 of the screenbugs, are well documented, but not everything. You can find the screenbug images on Nickstory's page on screenbugs, which I have a link right here: nickstory.fandom.com/wiki/Nickelodeon_Screenbugs#2008.
I for one did remembered seeing these bumpers, but not as much as I remembered. Maybe because I was creeped out by some of them, or because I was glued more into other networks at this point, I just don't remember much from Shocktober 1 and 2. I did remember seeing the 2010 Halloween bumpers, but while bits and pieces can be found on Youtube, including the shorts shown as promos, and I can link you a compilation of all the shorts (but I still am scared of the SpongeBob short where he turns into a moldy sponge ), the actual bumpers made for Nickelodeon's Halloween event from 2010 is still lost as of now.
As for the 2009 Shocktober image with Bessie, it seems that Shocktober that year is actually an event held in the Mall of Asia if you look closely. Considering Nickelodeon changed it's logo around the time of the event, and most of the world didn't update to the new logo until March of 2010, I would assumed that Shocktober 3 only happened internationally. I know Cartoon Network did also reused assets for their Halloween in 2003, coincidently also called Shocktober. Parts of the promo were actually reused for a Halloween marathon of Juniper Lee episodes in 2006. I would assume Nick outside the US did have Shocktober held in 2009. Nickelodeon did a different event that year called Shriek Week.
I think I originally wasn't interested in this topic because of the Zombified bumpers at the time, but now that so long has passed I'm definitely interested in giving it anther look. I kinda forgot it existed at all lol.
Sorry if this was mentioned before and I missed it, but are there bumpers for all the characters that appear in the art? I looked at the Google Doc and there's way more than I remember there being the last time I looked at the topic.
