What the fuck is this, /x/? Some creepy fucking local puppet show that was apparently only shown in Taos, New Mexico but was produced in Denver, Colorado by someone named Taylor Grant. Only episodes 3, 5, 6, and 7 still exist. 1, 2, and 4 are nowhere to be found. This is everything my friends and I have found about it. This has to be some kind of fucked up cryptic message or fever dream because this shit is too fucking creepy to have ever been intended to entertain children.

This is like that old creepypasta about the pirate show
>>17295112
except real
Did anyone try calling the number on the site? I think this is an African conspiracy.
I'm convinced Taylor Grant is a false name for the director
This has 1999/Caledon Local 21 written all over it
there is a stylized T and F on the bottom of their web page that look meant for facebook and tumblr. to me it doesn't seem like the company happy world ltd has anything to do with this
I'm working with OP, he's already had people call every Taylor Grant they could find and look into the websites. We've found a handful of businesses attached to the series in the end credits that were listed as Underwriters, all of which are based in Taos, NM:
Fechin Inn
Randall Lumber
Paradize Balloons
The Taos News
We're currently scouring the pages for more info.
The real key to all of this is this city - if anybody lives close enough to the city to get in touch with these businesses, that would be invaluable in getting to the bottom of this.
>>17295251
first thing I thought too, none of the kids look like they are having a good time
all i know is the fucking main character's mask is giving me ridiculous anxiety
>>17295257
The T and F on that website are next to numbers - Telephone and Fax.
At first, I didn't think Happy World Ltd. had much to do with this, but Taylor Grant is the main character and writer of the show and owns Happy World Ltd., so it just goes hand in hand.
>>17295285
when it was totally quiet and he started talking I like almost shit my pants
>>17295286
This raises a question; what is the significance of Mauritania?
>>17295310
I'm thinking it has something to do with the "website developer", as it were - perhaps he outsourced website development to a company that has yet to deliver?
>>17295310
we're getting trolled
>>17295310
Correction, it's Mauritius.
>>17295318
Playing runescape rn actually, was gonna say something, but it's a misspelling - he's talking about Mauritius, an island near Africa which the website developer mentions on the incomplete website
>>17295329
yeah lol this fucking website has nothing to do with the show
http://www.lemonyellowltd.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19&Itemid=19
I don't get it, its just a poorly made local kids show
>>17295337
It doesn't have to, necessarily - if Richard Yan is the name of the person who developed the website then that's sufficient enough of a link.
>>17295341
but there's so many questions
why taos
who is taylor grant
why would anyone fucking fund this
>>17295341
watch the episode 7, all of them are mostly happy, but then that episode is about them being kidnapped and held as puppets by some creepy puppet man
>>17295346
>why would anyone fucking fund this
It's local tv. It can churn out any old shit.
>>17295341
i am extremely alarmed that anyone who put together and wore these masks and costumes were allowed anywhere near children

Why? Have you ever seen locally made TV shows? They're mostly awful. There's literally nothing creepy about this

A huge list of names to look into!
"Have you ever wondered where Happy and the gang are from?
Watch Pandar, a puppeteer, terrify children with his horrible marionette shows.
Forced to participate in these grizzly shows, Happy, Giggle, Mister Blue, Captain Bogge and The Professor, plan and execute their escape.
Pandar is incensed. In order to capture and return the fugitive puppets, Pandar creates a new puppet, animates him, and sends him off.
Our friends are now lost in the woods...until they meet the dancing letters! His puppet becomes distracted, and Pandar is forced to come up with a new, devious plan."
Alright this shit is starting to seem REALLY sinister. This isn't something for really young kids.
from act 1 of episode 1
"Mom says we can't let grown-ups see us. Something about suspension of disbelief. Kids can see us, though."
>>17295389
HOW DID YOU GET THE EPISODE?

and this was after Mom was telling Happy, "She better not be talking to grown-ups."

Mister Blue is performed by Dusty Hertzog.
Dusty is 14 years old, and will be a Freshman in High School this year. An aspiring magician, Dusty applies his illusiory talents to manipulating Mister Blue in episodes four, five, six, seven, and eight.
Dusty brings a gentle aspect to the character that makes this fuzzy friend more loveable than ever before!
It looks like Jade's website is still up and has a contact field. http://jadesjazz.com/
Zani is a 13th century Italian Commedia character played by many different people, sometimes in the same episode. He is a trickster and very clever. That's what comes from cavorting with Arrlechino!!

How did the Pirate Show Creepypasta end?!
>>17295498
There was a disturbing final episode of the characters screaming, and only kids could see the show, as all parents only saw static.

He writes books now, apparently.
>>17295526
Could be. His facebook page references app creation.
I hope whatever Taylor Grant doing it's related to this, my friend wants him to hire him
I'm sorry but I'm kinda high and I'm properly grooving to the theme tune. It's a happy wooorrrllld it's a happy wooorrrllllld. I've 11 times now.

I have always wanted to make a creepy show like this or Candle Cove. use an old, low quality camera to make it look old. Just to fuck with people.
Creepy shit in childrens programs always fucks with me for some reason. Those were always my favorite stories. This one certainly qualifies.

Anyone know if eps 6 or 7 are online anywhere?
lol this is a fake troll watch ep 5 at 9:01 case fucking closed woop woop
Found a strange youtube account called "pandarpuppet"
/user/pandarpuppet
While the account itself has no videos, there is one strange liked video. This video is on a playlist entitled "Random encounters". There's a man in what looks like the costume from the show I think.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N1D5xoqDSw
and both episodes show inconsistencies like how the dream episode is produced and directed by taylor grant but in ep 5's credits it only says hes the creator but paul adams is the director which is the same with the rest of the credits there all different names for the different episodes and under special thanks for the dream episode and they thanked five point media center the taos news so i checked there websites out and found nothing concerning happy world and they thanked a thing called rainbow media which is an art gallery which had nothing on happy world either i even checked taos local television and they have nothing under the title happyworld so yeah fake and gay
>>17298213
not the same
>>17298222
How are you sure? I think it may be one of them with some changes, like new hair.
>>17298222
Elaborate? It looks like a similar costume. It's been years, it's totally possible Taylor Grant moved to Texas.
>>17298214
Well, it's been sixteen years, it's quite possible they removed it.
>>17298256
yeah and i guess a chair can be a bicycle without wheels
>>17298269
there no way everyone of those sites would remove just remove it especially when 5 point media center is a public library which keeps records of old things because thats whst libraries do
>>17298290
You're assuming it's fake because a show from 2000 isn't on a couple of small websites, that's...pretty dumb, really.
>>17298262
how when the costume went through several design changes during the shows episodes by the last episode it looks completely different then the one in ep 3
>>17298295
plz tell me how taos local television is a small website and not having any record of the show when the show is only 16 years old
>>17298299
Because it's been years? Because the show was literally in 2001?
>>17298309
Why would it have records of a show that is no longer aired, when the site has very obviously been updated since then? The show is no longer relevant.
>>17298315
so you think a local access tv network would get rid of any mention of a show only after 16 years yeah umm do you have brain damage
plus the most recent episode ep7 if from 2006 so yeah FAKE and GAY
>>17298332
Yes, because the show is no longer relevant and no longer aired. Why the fuck would they keep it?
You're all faggots, this is irrelevant to finding out why the hell this was made.
>>17298332
An obscure show that only had 7 episodes and was really bad. Why would they want people to remember it?
>>17298349

Came to post this, and this does look exactly like the beginning before it got violent.
My favorite pasta.
I have no idea what it was about this thread, but it made me a nervous fucking disaster last night. I had to turn on my bathroom lights to sleep and just sat on the edge of an anxiety attack. The stress triggered sleep paralysis which I got out of immediately somehow. Once actually asleep, I had nothing but nightmares about those hollow eyed mask things.
Thanks /x/. You found my switch.
>>17295329
did any of you search the address on google...? the address on the site elads to a happy world shopping mall in africa. obviously not the same happy world.
web archive has the website if you didnt know already

Tbh, its not that bad of a show (besides it being absolutely spoopky,)
>>17302636
Your standards are kind of low then.
>>17302919
I mean as a kids show. And if it didnt look like shit and have a budget of two dollars.
>>17295101
There HAS to be rule 34 of this shit, if not I'm making it!
>>17297589
Candle Cove, yeah it is. They just suck at remembering names
I can't believe this. Nobody could be bothered to put any effort into cracking the Erratas mystery which looked actually legit and ChronosForLife/Tod Ellsworth/KFCMC actually wanted us to solve, yet here y'all are enthusiastically doxxing some hippies for making a children's show on a low budget.
>>17303775
>blathering about some obscure gobbledygook
If it's so frigging important, why don't you make a thread about it instead of whining about it in a totally unrelated discussion?

>>17303938
>>>17304768
>>17295814
Do it. Get a cheap ass VHS camera on ebay, some old tapes, fuck the tapes up and convert them to digital.
Get creative with costumes and special effects and then just put weird shit on Youtube. You gotta follow your dreams, anon.
