Why is it that (oftentimes completely innocent) lost media, cut media, and cancelled projects creep people out?
Regardless of the type of media, it seems like the discussion of lost media and media that never came into fruition has an air of spookiness about it.
Other kinds of media, like true crime, do the opposite thing where they’re way too casual about grisly, dark topics, while lost media treats SpongeBob with reverence, for whatever reason.
Part of it is definitely sensationalism, but still it is something I wonder about from time to time.
