===Episode 1: The Quest for the Midnight Crown===
In the first episode, a narrator introduces our eponymous puppy characters and mentions that one-day Poochee urgently needed to tell something to Pansy. He tells her about a strange dream he had, which involves a kitten being locked up by an evil witch. She had the same dream, so Poochee concludes that because of this, the dream must be a telepathic SOS message directed at them. They prepare to venture to Sufferdark, where they come across Batwing Cave, which they must go through to reach Sufferdark. A firefly named Freddy appears and tries to lead them through the cave, however, he is interrupted by a skull with one eye along with a loud screech. There is a link to a website that can be found in the information section of the YouTube channel. In 2020, the video was remastered; it is largely the same as the original, but the screamer was removed, allowing Freddy to finish his line.

A firefly named Freddy appears and tries to lead them through the cave, however, he is interrupted by a rotten skull with a bloodshot blue eye in a black background, accompanied by a loud distorted scream. The video used to have an annotation warning the viewers about the screamer. In 2019, the video was remastered; it is largely the same as the original, but the screamer was removed, allowing Freddy to finish his line.

===Episode 2: Danger In The Dark! ($ £Wv$ER&8765435 w%4%^$£%@£@)===
The episode starts with footage of a flower garden before cutting to the title card. The series' name appears normally, but it briefly glitches, shows a picture of a monster from Junji Ito' for a split second, then shows the title card, except the title is blurred out and the narrator's speech is jumbled and noisy.  
[[File:EP2.png|thumb|right|200px|The video displays a frame of Poochee and Pansy with missing facial features, shortly after the title card.]]
In the second episode of the series, the audience is greeted with a glitched title card that briefly displays an image of [https://junjiitomanga.fandom.com/wiki/Binzo_Tsujii Binzo Tsujii] from [[wikipedia:Junji_Ito|Junji Ito]]'s ''The Souichi Front''. The episode features Poochee and Pansy missing their respective facial features of eyes and mouth, and Poochee repeating a line from the previous episode. The audio and visuals distort before cutting to footage of a person exploring a dark room and encountering ordinary household items. The Huntmaster appears at the end of the episode, reaching for the camera.


The episode itself features Poochee with no eyes and Pansy with no mouth, followed by the voice of Poochee saying: "Yes, you are probably right." from the previous episode. This goes on for a while before the cartoon distorts and the audio glitches. The episode then cuts to footage of someone filming in a dark room. They come across various household items such as a bowl of soup, a sink, and a clock. then cuts to a clip of The Huntmaster walking from the right and facing the screen. He ends the episode by reaching for the camera, his black glove covering it.
The original episode was taken down in 2014 for unknown reasons, but it was later reposted, and a remastered version was released in 2021. The remastered version shows Poochee and Pansy being led into a cave by Freddy, only to discover that he is a fake rockbat. They flee and get lost in the darkness, but soon find the real Freddy, injured from a rockbat attack. Despite their intention to help him, Freddy tells them to escape as more rockbats appear. The screen fades to black after Poochee moans in pain. The scene then shifts to Poochee waking up in a witch's lair, discovering that he and Pansy were knocked out by the rockbat's venom. He realizes that Pansy is missing and calls out for her, ending the episode.
 
This episode was taken down originally for unknown reasons but has since come back. In 2021, a remaster was posted, showing what the episode truly looks like; it shows Poochee and Pansy being led into the cave by Freddy, only to quickly discover him to be a fake who is actually a rockbat transformed as him. They make a break for it, ending up lost in the darkness in the process. Eventually, the puppies stumble upon the real Freddy, who is injured on a stone after some rockbats attacked him. Poochee tells him that he and Pansy will help him out, but Freddy tells them to escape due to more rockbats showing up and hissing loudly at them. Freddy's light goes out, making the screen go black. We hear Poochee moaning in pain, before the scene fades into Poochee in the witch's lair, noting that the rockbat's stun venom knocked him and Pansy out for a while. He then notices that Pansy is missing and calls out for her, concluding the episode.


===Episode 3: The Witch's Bargain===
===Episode 3: The Witch's Bargain===
The episode begins normally for a second, but the series' title briefly becomes sinister (the text turns black, the sky turns red, and a different, more ominous piano piece plays) before returning to normal. As the episode title appears, a narrator (not the same as the last two) informs us that Poochee and Pansy have made it to Sufferdark to confront the witch. As this happens, a brief visual distortion occurs, revealing a cartoon Huntmaster standing near the tree.
[[File:EP3.png|left|200px|thumb|The witch's hand is about to reach out to take Pooche's eyes off.]].
The selected episode of the series begins with the title card displaying a momentary spooky transformation, with the text turning black, the sky turning red, and an ominous piano piece playing, before returning to normal. The narrator informs the viewers that Poochee and Pansy have reached Sufferdark to confront the witch while a 2D Huntmaster briefly appears in the background with visual distortion. In the witch's lair, Poochee searches for Pansy, who is hanging in a cage over a vat of green liquid. The witch offers a deal: she will release Pansy if Poochee lets her take his eyes. Despite Pansy's disapproval, Poochee agrees, as he can't think of any other way to rescue her. As the witch's hand inches closer to Poochee's face, the video cuts to footage of a fan running, a close-up of the witch, a phone off its hook beeping, and a doll's face with one eye bulging and a girl crying. The video concludes with a sinister title background and the message: "You are alone but you do not know it."


The episode proper starts with Poochee in the witch's lair, looking for a missing Pansy. He eventually finds her trapped in a hanging cage that's placed over a vat of green liquid. The witch herself then appears and wagers a deal with Poochee to free Pansy: she'll let her go if he lets her take his eyes. Pansy begs Poochee not to, but Poochee, unable to think of any other way to rescue her, reluctantly accepts the offer. We then see the witch's hand slowly inch closer to Poochee as he cries. Just before anything bad happens, we cut to footage of a fan running, a brief close-up of the witch, footage of a phone off its hook beeping, and a clip of a doll's face accompanied by the sound of a girl crying; one of the doll's eyes is noticeably bulging. The video ends with the sinister title background from earlier with the message: "You are alone but you do not know it."
A remastered version of the episode was released in 2022, in which the witch's appearance was redesigned to resemble [[wikipedia:Tales_from_the_Crypt_(comics)#The_Crypt-Keeper|The Cryptkeeper]]. When the witch's hand approaches Poochee's face, Pansy screams "No!" and the video cuts to black with a squishing noise. When the video resumes, Poochee screams in pain as the witch takes his right eye, while Pansy's cries create a soundwave that intensifies in volume and surrounds the cage. The episode ends at this point.
 
In 2022, a remaster was posted. Up until the scene where the witch's hand inches towards Poochee, it is mostly the same save for the witch herself sporting a redesign, looking more like The Cryptkeeper. When her hand reaches Poochee's face in this version, Pansy screams "No!" and there is a cut to black and a squishing noise. We cut back to Poochee screaming in pain as his right eye is taken by the witch, all the while Pansy cries in anguish; her cries end up creating a soundwave that intensifies in volume and surrounds the cage, ending the episode from there.


===Episode 4: The Witch's Eye (ぷちとパンジー。第4章。魔女の目)===
===Episode 4: The Witch's Eye (ぷちとパンジー。第4章。魔女の目)===
The video first shows a Japanese version of the title card, complete with English subtitles. The picture distorts a few times before the episode title appears, translating to "The Witch's Eye". A Japanese narrator then tells us that the two puppies have defeated the witch off-screen and are now off to rescue the kitten. Then, two brief flashes of the witch with no eyes appear, with a scream heard the second time.  
[[File:Part_4.JPG|thumb|200px|Japanese version of the title card in the fourth episode.]]
The episode begins with a Japanese title card (which translates to "The Witch's Eye"), with English subtitles appearing shortly after. The title card is distorted several times, creating a creepy atmosphere. The Japanese narrator informs the viewer that Poochee and Pansy have already defeated the witch and are on a mission to save a kitten, but two flashes of the eyeless witch with a scream in the background hint at the dark turn the episode takes. Poochee and Pansy are seen standing in front of a locked door, which Poochee claims is where the kitten is being held. He reveals that he's wearing the witch's eye over his own, which allows him to see through the door. However, the shot of the door distorts, and the text "Cannot hide" briefly appears, foreshadowing the disturbing events to follow. The video then cuts to footage of icicles, accompanied by a low-pitched beeping sound, followed by a shot of someone walking in the snow. They discover the text "Find You" written in the snow, which transforms into a white animated picture slowly turning red. The image then returns to live-action, and we see The Huntmaster reaching for the screen, followed by a close-up of the icicles. On a black background, red text appears, reading "Everyone in your world is dead but you. Only you exist." The video ends with a flash of the white text "FIND YOU."


The episode starts by showing Poochee and Pansy standing at a door with a lock on it. Poochee proclaims to Pansy that he knows the kitten is behind it. When she asks how he knew that, he replies by stating that, with the witch's eye he's wearing over one of his own, he can see through the door. We then see a long shot of the door before the cartoon distorts, with the text "Cannot hide" briefly visible. We then cut to footage of icicles with low-pitched beeping in the background. We then cut to someone walking in the snow, the camera pointed at the ground. After a moment, they find the text "Find You" written in the snow; said text then becomes a completely white animated picture that gets covered with red. The image returns to live-action and stays on screen for a while. We then cut to The Huntmaster reaching for the screen, then a close-up of the icicles. Then, on a black background, red text appears reading "Everyone in your world is dead but you. Only you exist." The video then ends with a flash of the white text "FIND YOU".
A remastered version of the episode was released in 2024, in which Pansy's soundwaves freezes the witch to allow Poochee to attack her. The witch then loses her right eye that slithers its way into Poochee's empty socket, causing him to ultimately defeat the witch. The episode ends with Poochee and Pansy standing in front of the locked door as before.


===Episode 5: (Unnamed)===
===Episode 5: (Unnamed)===
We start with The Huntmaster telling the viewer "You cannot hide..." as he turns to face the screen. We then cut to the usual title screen; as usual, it glitches a few times. A series of odd and disturbing images then appear such as a man cowering in fright, a dog with sharp teeth, a cartoon forest with tree stumps, and footage of the house from the second episode before the episode title appears, completely blanked out by a black censor panel. More images appear accompanied by splatter sounds such as Smile Dog, the Junji Ito' monster, the witch with no eyes from the last episode, Poochee with no eyes, the sinister title screen with the text "All dead" on the bottom, the "FIND YOU" text also from the last episode as well as the icicles, the title screen with "YOU ARE ALONE" printed on it, and footage of a basement. The Huntmaster reappears as his body begins flailing wildly with loud distortion noises heard.  
[[File:EP5.png|thumb|220px|Pooche and Pansy rescue the kitten they have been searching for.]]
 
The video begins with The Huntmaster addressing the viewer, warning them that they "cannot hide." After a glitchy title screen, a series of unsettling images are shown, including a cowering man, a gray dog with sharp teeth and black eyes and footage of the house from a previous episode. The episode title is obscured by a black censor panel. More disturbing images follow, including the previous images from the beginning, [[Smile Dog]], a cartoon forest drawing, two images of Binzo Tsujii (the second one is of a black-and-white close-up of Binzo's face in a prison cell), an eyeless Poochee, the witch, and the eyeless witch and icicles from the previous episode. The Huntmaster then reappears and his body flails wildly, accompanied by loud distorted noises. The episode proper begins with two yellow eyes in a dark doorway, which Poochee identifies as the kitten they have been searching for. The animals stare at each other for an extended period before the scene cuts to a montage of random and unsettling clips, including an evil Poochee, the skull screamer, all the screamer images, and footage from the Disney short [[wikipedia:The_Story_of_Menstruation|''The Story of Menstruation'']]. The title screen appears again, featuring a stylized "G." The "Menstruation" footage returns, with the girl's reflection coming to life and smiling at the screen. The scene then slowly zooms to the reflection as the girl's smile becomes more menacing, and a loud roar is heard. The scene then cuts to inside the house, where the message, "All dead" is written in blood red on the wall near some pictures. We then see someone walking in the woods and entering an area with many tree stumps, which is compared to the cartoon forest drawing from earlier. Poochee warns the viewer that what is on TV is real, and everything else is make-believe. The "Menstruation" girl's face appears again with a loud scream from the first episode, followed by the full version of the first line: "You cannot hide from the truth." The video ends with the stylized "G" from earlier appearing once more.
The episode proper finally begins. We see two yellow eyes in the darkness of the doorway. Poochee happily exclaims that it's the kitten. The kitten then appears from the doorway meowing. The animals then stare at each other for a prolonged time, before it cuts back to the random and odd clips, like an evil Poochee, the house, the skull screamer, the witch, and clips from the Disney short ''The Story of Menstruation''. During this, we cut to the creepy title screen where a stylized G pops up for a second. The ''Menstruation'' footage returns, where the girl's reflection comes to life and smiles at the screen; the scene then zooms into the reflection as her smile becomes more creepy and the part of the picture becomes more sharpened; her face then comes up close accompanied by a loud roar. We then cut to inside the house; the "All dead" text is written on the wall in blood-red near some pictures. We then cut to someone walking in the woods and entering an area with many tree stumps, which is then compared to the cartoon forest drawing. We then see Poochee telling us "Remember, what's on TV is real. When you go outside and look at the rest of the world, that's what's make-believe." The ''Menstruation'' girl's face appears again with a loud scream followed by the full version of the first line: "You cannot hide from the truth.". The G from before then appears again, ending the video.


===Episode 6: Message from the Gangadiddle (Message from the Gxx%$£^$)===
===Episode 6: Message from the Gangadiddle (Message from the Gxx%$£^$)===
The video begins with footage of a swing swaying with ghostly sounds before the title appears. The title glitches a few times as per usual. The episode title shows up, but the last word is blurred out, though if one were quick to pause just as it appears, the word is revealed to be Gangadiddle, the name of the main creature of the ARG this series is centered around. During this, the music and narrator become distorted and loud. We briefly see the icicles from the fourth episode with two red eyes above the image, as if it were a monster's face. The episode then begins.
[[File:EP6.png|thumb|right|200px|The title card with "Gangadiddle" is blurred out in Mosiac]]
 
[[File:EP6G.png|thumb|right|200px|The uncensored version of the title card.]]
The episode cuts to Poochee and Pansy with the kitten back at home. Pansy notes that Poochee's eye is back to normal, to which he explains that it's one of the eye's powers. Shortly thereafter, a scroll materializes in front of the three. Poochee starts to read it, but before he can get to who it's from, the video cuts to an illustration of the Gangadiddle as the picture distorts. We then cut to a live-action figure of the Gangadiddle on a table. We then see a panda's face on a jack-in-the-box with its eyes moving to play "Braham's Lullaby"; after a bit, the panda screams at the viewer. We then pan throughout the house, which includes shots of the skull screamer and the doll from previous episodes. The Huntmaster then appears again reaching out for the screen, followed by a flurry of odd images from previous episodes. The episode ends with the message: "You must find it to become free!"
In this episode, the spotlight is on a spine-tingling chapter of an alternate reality game that revolves around the enigmatic creature, Gangadiddle. The video starts with eerie audio and visuals of a swaying object before the title emerges with glitches and distorted narration and music. Although the episode's heading is partly hidden, eagle-eyed viewers can make out "Gangadiddle", the name of the creature. The episode proceeds with Poochee, Pansy, and the kitten at their home, where Poochee reads a scroll that appears suddenly. However, before he can identify the sender, the footage shifts to an illustration of the creature, which promptly distorts. Next, a live-action figure of the Gangadiddle appears on a table, followed by a jack-in-the-box with a panda's face that plays Brahms' [[wikipedia:Wiegenlied_(Brahms)|''Lullaby'']]. Then, after the music ended, the panda's face gets closer, gains sharp teeth and an evil grin and emits a screech. The house is also scanned, and during this sequence, shots of the skull screamer and the doll from previous episodes are shown. The Huntmaster emerges on the screen, extending his hand towards the viewer, followed by a montage of disturbing clips from past episodes. The video concludes with the message, "You must find it to become free!" The suspenseful and enigmatic ambiance of this episode, as well as its connection to the larger ARG, distinguishes it as a noteworthy installment in the series.


=== Episode 7: Rxxx 6 Cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Pxxxxxxxx ===
=== Episode 7: Rxxx 6 Cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Pxxxxxxxx ===
The title appears normal before fading away. The episode title then appears, but only Part 7 is readable; the rest is obscured by a picture of a man's face covering it up. Poochee, Pansy, and the kitten then appear. As calming piano music plays, the trio is seen smiling cutely at the screen for several seconds until the kitten meows. A more detailed version of the kitten's head appears on a flashing background with a loud meow. The episode then cuts to a computer processing data, and cuts back to the trio, except the sky is dark, Pansy and the kitten are missing their faces, and Poochee is missing his eyes. He then restates the warped message he said at the end of the fifth episode. The video then cuts to footage of someone walking through their backyard while unearthly noises play, including a shot of a worm crawling on the man's arm. We then head to the ending, where on the sinister title background, the text "David's mind traverses many parallels. His memories will help you." appears, followed by the code XRZ 9hOUIFec, and a flash of the G, ending the series.
[[File:EP7.png|thumb|left|200px|The "G" that flashes at the end of the video.]]
In this episode, the video opens with the usual title screen, which then fades away to reveal the episode title, "Part 7", with a man's face covering the rest of the text. Poochee, Pansy, and the kitten are then seen on the screen, smiling cutely to the sound of calming piano music. However, this peaceful scene is interrupted by a detailed shot of the kitten's head on a flashing background, accompanied by a loud feline screech. The episode then cuts to a computer processing data before returning to the trio, but this time the sky is dark, and Pansy and the kitten are missing their faces, while Poochee's eyes are gone. He repeats the cryptic message he delivered in the fifth episode. The video then cuts to footage of someone walking through their backyard, with eerie sounds and a shot of a worm crawling on the person's arm. The episode ends with the foreboding title screen displaying the text "David's mind traverses many parallels. His memories will help you." The screen then displays the code XRZ 9hOUIFec, followed by a flash of the letter G, signifying the end of the series.

The video opens with the Dolst Family Entertainment logo and a message from the characters Poochee, Pansy, and the witch, reassuring viewers that what is shown on TV is not real and that they should not be afraid. However, the video then distorts and the characters transform into sinister forms: Poochee and Pansy become demonic with fangs and red eyes, while the witch becomes The Huntmaster. The viewer is then bombarded with a series of bizarre images, including the doll head, the witch, the text "You are alone," birds flying by cars, the skull screamer, the house footage tinted red, and the repeated phrase "Trying to reach you." A voice is heard reciting a quote from the classic horror film ''[[wikipedia:Night_of_the_Living_Dead|Night of the Living Dead]]'', describing a mass extinction event in Earth's history and murder victims being devoured by their killers. The video then cuts to footage of someone walking through a hospital hallway, with the title screen appearing just as the person reaches the doors. The "All dead" text flashes briefly before the video abruptly ends, leaving the viewer with a sense of unease and uncertainty.


The video starts with the Dolst Family logo and the text "An important message from Dolst Family Entertainment." We then see Poochee, Pansy, and the witch standing next to a tree. They tell us that you shouldn't worry about the scary things you see on TV, and that what's on TV is fake and what's outdoors is real. Just as they say that the video distorts and the characters change; Poochee and Pansy turn into demon dogs while the witch turns into The Huntmaster. We then see a flurry of odd images, including the doll head, the witch, the text "You are alone", birds flying past cars, the skull screamer, the house footage tinted red, and the text "Trying to reach you" written seven times. A voice is heard saying: "This is the greatest mass extinction in earth's history. 96% of all life forms disappear off of the face of the earth. The murder victims show evidence of being partially devoured by the murderers.", taken from Night of the Living Dead. We then cut to a clip of someone walking down a hospital hallway; just as they reach the doors, the title screen appears with a flash of the "All dead" text, ending the video.

Latest revision as of 14:17, 22 August 2025

This article contains spoilers!
 Please be advised that the following article contains spoilers for the screamer mentioned in the title or description. If you have not yet experienced the material and wish to avoid spoilers, we recommend that you proceed with caution or refrain from reading until you have done so.

Content Warning!
 The following work contains content and material that some may find shocking. Reader discretion is advised.

Poochee and Pansy is an ARG-related web series that focuses on two puppies from Puppy Hill trying to save a kitten from an evil witch. The premiere episode, uploaded to YouTube in 2009, contains a screamer. However, this is only the beginning of what the series becomes. The series includes a plethora of disturbing imagery and eerie footage. The series consists of only seven episodes. In late 2014, episode 2 of Poochee and Pansy was deleted by YouTube moderators for unknown reasons and was restored five years later. The creator appealed to restore the original upload, but the appeal was rejected.

According to Eric B. Wise (ScareTheater), the series was created to recruit viewers for an alternate reality game called: "Hunt for the Gangadiddle". This game was spread around 4chan on a relatively unknown date to recruit users to uncover the mystery of Gangadiddle.[1] (See the "Trivia" section below for more information.) The series itself has a website. [2]

Episodes

The series consists of the following episodes:

Episode 1: The Quest for the Midnight Crown

In the first episode, a narrator introduces our eponymous puppy characters and mentions that one day Poochee urgently needed to tell something to Pansy. He tells her about a strange dream he had, which involves a kitten being locked up by an evil witch. She had the same dream, so Poochee concludes that because of this, the dream must be a dream message directed at them. They prepare to venture to Sufferdark, where they come across Batwing Cave, which they must go through to reach Sufferdark. A firefly named Freddy appears and tries to lead them through the cave, however, he is interrupted by a rotten skull with a bloodshot blue eye in a black background, accompanied by a loud distorted scream. The video used to have an annotation warning the viewers about the screamer. In 2019, the video was remastered; it is largely the same as the original, but the screamer was removed, allowing Freddy to finish his line.

Episode 2: Danger In The Dark! ($ £Wv$ER&8765435 w%4%^$£%@£@)

The video displays a frame of Poochee and Pansy with missing facial features, shortly after the title card.

In the second episode of the series, the audience is greeted with a glitched title card that briefly displays an image of Binzo Tsujii from Junji Ito's The Souichi Front. The episode features Poochee and Pansy missing their respective facial features of eyes and mouth, and Poochee repeating a line from the previous episode. The audio and visuals distort before cutting to footage of a person exploring a dark room and encountering ordinary household items. The Huntmaster appears at the end of the episode, reaching for the camera.

The original episode was taken down in 2014 for unknown reasons, but it was later reposted, and a remastered version was released in 2021. The remastered version shows Poochee and Pansy being led into a cave by Freddy, only to discover that he is a fake rockbat. They flee and get lost in the darkness, but soon find the real Freddy, injured from a rockbat attack. Despite their intention to help him, Freddy tells them to escape as more rockbats appear. The screen fades to black after Poochee moans in pain. The scene then shifts to Poochee waking up in a witch's lair, discovering that he and Pansy were knocked out by the rockbat's venom. He realizes that Pansy is missing and calls out for her, ending the episode.

Episode 3: The Witch's Bargain

The witch's hand is about to reach out to take Pooche's eyes off.

.

The selected episode of the series begins with the title card displaying a momentary spooky transformation, with the text turning black, the sky turning red, and an ominous piano piece playing, before returning to normal. The narrator informs the viewers that Poochee and Pansy have reached Sufferdark to confront the witch while a 2D Huntmaster briefly appears in the background with visual distortion. In the witch's lair, Poochee searches for Pansy, who is hanging in a cage over a vat of green liquid. The witch offers a deal: she will release Pansy if Poochee lets her take his eyes. Despite Pansy's disapproval, Poochee agrees, as he can't think of any other way to rescue her. As the witch's hand inches closer to Poochee's face, the video cuts to footage of a fan running, a close-up of the witch, a phone off its hook beeping, and a doll's face with one eye bulging and a girl crying. The video concludes with a sinister title background and the message: "You are alone but you do not know it."

A remastered version of the episode was released in 2022, in which the witch's appearance was redesigned to resemble The Cryptkeeper. When the witch's hand approaches Poochee's face, Pansy screams "No!" and the video cuts to black with a squishing noise. When the video resumes, Poochee screams in pain as the witch takes his right eye, while Pansy's cries create a soundwave that intensifies in volume and surrounds the cage. The episode ends at this point.

Episode 4: The Witch's Eye (ぷちとパンジー。第4章。魔女の目)

Japanese version of the title card in the fourth episode.

The episode begins with a Japanese title card (which translates to "The Witch's Eye"), with English subtitles appearing shortly after. The title card is distorted several times, creating a creepy atmosphere. The Japanese narrator informs the viewer that Poochee and Pansy have already defeated the witch and are on a mission to save a kitten, but two flashes of the eyeless witch with a scream in the background hint at the dark turn the episode takes. Poochee and Pansy are seen standing in front of a locked door, which Poochee claims is where the kitten is being held. He reveals that he's wearing the witch's eye over his own, which allows him to see through the door. However, the shot of the door distorts, and the text "Cannot hide" briefly appears, foreshadowing the disturbing events to follow. The video then cuts to footage of icicles, accompanied by a low-pitched beeping sound, followed by a shot of someone walking in the snow. They discover the text "Find You" written in the snow, which transforms into a white animated picture slowly turning red. The image then returns to live-action, and we see The Huntmaster reaching for the screen, followed by a close-up of the icicles. On a black background, red text appears, reading "Everyone in your world is dead but you. Only you exist." The video ends with a flash of the white text "FIND YOU."

A remastered version of the episode was released in 2024, in which Pansy's soundwaves freezes the witch to allow Poochee to attack her. The witch then loses her right eye that slithers its way into Poochee's empty socket, causing him to ultimately defeat the witch. The episode ends with Poochee and Pansy standing in front of the locked door as before.

Episode 5: (Unnamed)

Pooche and Pansy rescue the kitten they have been searching for.

The video begins with The Huntmaster addressing the viewer, warning them that they "cannot hide." After a glitchy title screen, a series of unsettling images are shown, including a cowering man, a gray dog with sharp teeth and black eyes and footage of the house from a previous episode. The episode title is obscured by a black censor panel. More disturbing images follow, including the previous images from the beginning, Smile Dog, a cartoon forest drawing, two images of Binzo Tsujii (the second one is of a black-and-white close-up of Binzo's face in a prison cell), an eyeless Poochee, the witch, and the eyeless witch and icicles from the previous episode. The Huntmaster then reappears and his body flails wildly, accompanied by loud distorted noises. The episode proper begins with two yellow eyes in a dark doorway, which Poochee identifies as the kitten they have been searching for. The animals stare at each other for an extended period before the scene cuts to a montage of random and unsettling clips, including an evil Poochee, the skull screamer, all the screamer images, and footage from the Disney short The Story of Menstruation. The title screen appears again, featuring a stylized "G." The "Menstruation" footage returns, with the girl's reflection coming to life and smiling at the screen. The scene then slowly zooms to the reflection as the girl's smile becomes more menacing, and a loud roar is heard. The scene then cuts to inside the house, where the message, "All dead" is written in blood red on the wall near some pictures. We then see someone walking in the woods and entering an area with many tree stumps, which is compared to the cartoon forest drawing from earlier. Poochee warns the viewer that what is on TV is real, and everything else is make-believe. The "Menstruation" girl's face appears again with a loud scream from the first episode, followed by the full version of the first line: "You cannot hide from the truth." The video ends with the stylized "G" from earlier appearing once more.

Episode 6: Message from the Gangadiddle (Message from the Gxx%$£^$)

The title card with "Gangadiddle" is blurred out in Mosiac
The uncensored version of the title card.

In this episode, the spotlight is on a spine-tingling chapter of an alternate reality game that revolves around the enigmatic creature, Gangadiddle. The video starts with eerie audio and visuals of a swaying object before the title emerges with glitches and distorted narration and music. Although the episode's heading is partly hidden, eagle-eyed viewers can make out "Gangadiddle", the name of the creature. The episode proceeds with Poochee, Pansy, and the kitten at their home, where Poochee reads a scroll that appears suddenly. However, before he can identify the sender, the footage shifts to an illustration of the creature, which promptly distorts. Next, a live-action figure of the Gangadiddle appears on a table, followed by a jack-in-the-box with a panda's face that plays Brahms' Lullaby. Then, after the music ended, the panda's face gets closer, gains sharp teeth and an evil grin and emits a screech. The house is also scanned, and during this sequence, shots of the skull screamer and the doll from previous episodes are shown. The Huntmaster emerges on the screen, extending his hand towards the viewer, followed by a montage of disturbing clips from past episodes. The video concludes with the message, "You must find it to become free!" The suspenseful and enigmatic ambiance of this episode, as well as its connection to the larger ARG, distinguishes it as a noteworthy installment in the series.

Episode 7: Rxxx 6 Cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Pxxxxxxxx

The "G" that flashes at the end of the video.

In this episode, the video opens with the usual title screen, which then fades away to reveal the episode title, "Part 7", with a man's face covering the rest of the text. Poochee, Pansy, and the kitten are then seen on the screen, smiling cutely to the sound of calming piano music. However, this peaceful scene is interrupted by a detailed shot of the kitten's head on a flashing background, accompanied by a loud feline screech. The episode then cuts to a computer processing data before returning to the trio, but this time the sky is dark, and Pansy and the kitten are missing their faces, while Poochee's eyes are gone. He repeats the cryptic message he delivered in the fifth episode. The video then cuts to footage of someone walking through their backyard, with eerie sounds and a shot of a worm crawling on the person's arm. The episode ends with the foreboding title screen displaying the text "David's mind traverses many parallels. His memories will help you." The screen then displays the code XRZ 9hOUIFec, followed by a flash of the letter G, signifying the end of the series.

Misc

Special Announcement

The video opens with the Dolst Family Entertainment logo and a message from the characters Poochee, Pansy, and the witch, reassuring viewers that what is shown on TV is not real and that they should not be afraid. However, the video then distorts and the characters transform into sinister forms: Poochee and Pansy become demonic with fangs and red eyes, while the witch becomes The Huntmaster. The viewer is then bombarded with a series of bizarre images, including the doll head, the witch, the text "You are alone," birds flying by cars, the skull screamer, the house footage tinted red, and the repeated phrase "Trying to reach you." A voice is heard reciting a quote from the classic horror film Night of the Living Dead, describing a mass extinction event in Earth's history and murder victims being devoured by their killers. The video then cuts to footage of someone walking through a hospital hallway, with the title screen appearing just as the person reaches the doors. The "All dead" text flashes briefly before the video abruptly ends, leaving the viewer with a sense of unease and uncertainty.

Part 2 Remastered

The channel announces the sequel: "Poochee and Pansy Part 2 Remastered" at approximately 3:30 AM. However, it was revealed that it was some hacker using the alias: "The Technician", They uploaded a fraudulent video that falsely claimed it was a sequel. The video was immediately deleted by the creator upon regaining access to the channel, and he quickly apologized to his viewers by uploading this particular video.

Characters

  • Poochee - is a brown mixed puppy with shiny black eyes, a short tail and long, floppy ears. He appeared in every episode to date.
  • Pansy - is a German Shepherd, Polish Tatra and Croatian Sheepdog mix puppy with folded ears, shiny black eyes, a black nose, a short tail, and a pink bow on her head. She appears in every episode just like Poochee.
  • The Kitten - is an orange cat with pointy ears, a pink nose, whiskers, bright yellow eyes, and a long skinny tail. He was captured by the Witch before the events of episode 1 and sent a message to Poochee and Pansy through their dreams since being saved by the two puppies. The Kitten later became friends with them. He only communicates with meows.
  • Freddy the Firefly - is a firefly who only appeared in the first episode as a yellow glowing dot. However, in the remake of the second episode, his full design's revealed: an anthropomorphic orange firefly with a golden tail, shiny black eyes, black shoes, and white gloves (which resemble toon gloves).

Antagonists

  • The Witch - is an old pale green-skinned woman with bloodshot eyes, long black hair with white streaks on it and a purple robe with black triangles on the bottom. She appeared in many episodes (both as a character and as a brief screamer image), but not all of them. She also appears to resemble both Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist and Jeff the Killer.
  • The Huntmaster - is a man wearing a black (blue in animation) hoodie and a white, featureless mask obscuring his face, as well as gloves matching his hoodie. He appears when the disturbing images come, or at the start. He only has one line in the fourth episode. Many viewers compare him to SlenderMan.
  • The Gangadiddle - is the titular antagonist of the sixth episode, being the enigmatic creature of the entire series. It is depicted as a large white deformed robot with four fork-shaped legs.
  • Narrator - As the name implies, narrates the beginning and end of every episode of the show. Not much else is known about him as of now, as the narrator only appears in the first episode.

Remasters

After the ARG ended, the channel started remastering their original videos. Unlike the originals, this remaster does not contain screamers and is meant to be how the show was supposed to be.

Trivia

  • The series was not created or aired by Rob Dolsy.
  • Many fans claimed that the skull screamer is Freddy the Firelfy's "face reveal", but it's entirely false.
  • In the second episode remaster, Freddy the Firefly's design seems to be inspired by Shrignold from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. In fact, both of them are horror web-series that disguise as children's shows.
  • Aside from being influenced by both Regan MacNeil and Jeff the Killer, the witch's face also took inspiration from most of the images used in the series' disturbing imagery, including Binzo Tsujii (by the mouth and eyes), the gray dog image (by the teeth), Smile Dog (by the mouth shape), and the edited "Menstruation" girl image (by the eyes, eyebrows and skin color).
  • In the episode's title card in the sixth episode, the text was blurred out except for the: "Message from the" part. If the video was immediately paused at the right time before the text was blurred out, the text was revealed to be "Ganggadiddle". The word itself leads to a YouTube channel called "gangadiddle".
  • Recent videos has a link to the official Dreamaxion site.
  • Much of the background music before the fourth episode's remaster is stock music from Kevin MacLeod.
