Andrew Skinner

Andrew Skinner is a disgruntled Scottish animator arrested for nine counts of murder sometime near 2006, and is responsible for reproducing "The Five Tapes," making one, while editing the others.

Tapes
Squidward's Suicide, the second tape he edited, was the one sent into Nickelodeon as the Season four premiere of Spongebob Squarepants. It was supposed to be the rough cut of "Fear of a Krabby Patty," the first aired episode of Season four. The employees saw the title card "Squidward's Suicide," and since the editors put joke title cards to make the episodes seem more literal for work-related laughs, it was thrown off as a joke. The animators, editor and interns quickly realized this was more than a joke, as there were real photographs of murdered children who were six or so years old, and there were realistic blood splatters and grey matter. They agreed it had zero appeal to children, and called Stephen Hillenburg in to watch it. An investigation revealed that the last edit was exactly twenty-four seconds before they watched it.

The tape was traced to Andrew Skinner and his crew, and they were caught and imprisoned. It was later found out that Andrew had five tapes, one before Squidward's Suicide and three afterwards. There are also possibly two other tapes he edited, revealed in a tape log by his older brother, Leland. MrJoshGonzales got ahold of Andrew's first tape, "Suicide Squidward," and Leland did an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) based on Andrew's tapes, in which he used Andrew's footage and some of his own to make the cartoons, and to obscure the real ones. (Except Three Bloody Drops, he showed the real footage.)
