He lives in a pineapple under the sea… and he’s coming for your soul.

Kids the world over absolutely love SpongeBob Squarepants, the charming star of the same-named animated series that premiered back in 1999 and is still going strong to this day. The bright yellow sea sponge, who wears a white shirt, red tie and brown pants, may seem cute and cuddly in the world of animation, but oh boy does that cuteness go away when he enters our world.

3D artist Miguel Vasquez has terrified the internet this week with his “Best Friends Forever” project, which imagines both SpongeBob and friend Patrick Star (a pink starfish in the animated series) as, well, real life monstrosities. The speed sculpts were rendered in Keyshot, and they’re totally NSFC – not… safe… for… children.

Vasquez says that he’s working on Squidward next.

We’re not so sure we can handle that.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
