Rog Rampage V Edition 10
Hasan Fogg
When I was at the flea market one time, me and my parents were looking for films to play on their 35mm projector that they bought 2 weeks ago, I'm actually a Disney fanatic by the way and I have plushes of mickey and Donald that I got from a Disney store when I was in New York in 2016. Anyways while I was searching I spotted a film reel canister of a Disney animated short titled "Donald's Dream Voice: Rampage Edition". I showed it to my parents. They allowed me to buy it even though they were cautious about the title. When I got home, we put the 35mm film on the projector and pressed play.
The film played the original 1948 short as usual but when it got to the part when Donald had a temper tantrum after a cow said he didn't understand his voice, he stopped tantruming and he looked at something. It then cut to a close up shot of an axe on the ground.
It then showed Donald chopping the cow alive with the axe multiple times which actually included blood. The cow's scream was an actual recording of a scream from a real life cow being slaughtered to death.
It then showed the cow's body dead with cuts from the axe and blood dripping. Donald laughed manically. Then he found a shot gun near the barn. He went to grab it and ran off. It then faded to a 10 minute montage of Donald going on a killing rampage at the same neighborhood where he was being a door to door salesman selling brushes, killing everyone in the town. After that it then faded to a scene where Donald was laughing manically again, but then after about 20 seconds, a gunshot was heard. Donald stopped laughing and collapsed. It then cuts to black for 10 seconds. Then it fades into a shot of Daisy Duck, Huey, Louie and Dewey crying in front of a tombstone that red "Donald Fauntleroy Duck 1934-1948" which lasted for 1 minute, like it was a moment of silence for Donald. It then faded to black for 20 seconds.
Then it cut to the headshot of Donald. We saw the beginning of every Donald duck short, but his pupils were missing and his smile was wider. The music was actually Adult Swim's "The Dawn is your Enemy" bumper, specifically the version that aired on January 31, 2010, instead of the SMPTE color bars with the 1khz sine wave tone. it cut to black for 50 seconds. Then it faded into the end title card. Then it ended. My parents were shocked of what they just saw and I was crying my eyes out because of what Donald did. After recovering from it, we still kept the 35mm reel but we only watched it during the Halloween season. In fact we showed it at our local Halloween festival one time in 2021, but just in case the original reel gets destroyed, we transferred it to an mp4 file that's in a USB drive.
The download link was buried deep within the thread, accompanied by numerous cautionary comments. Ignoring my better judgment, I clicked the link and downloaded the file. The name of the file, "Donald_Rampage_Edition.avi," sent a chill down my spine.
The episode began with the familiar Disney intro, but something was off. The colors were muted, and the cheerful music was distorted, playing in a minor key. The screen transitioned to Donald's house, but it looked dilapidated, almost abandoned. The usual vibrant animation was replaced with a darker, more realistic style.
The title card appeared, reading "Donald's Dream Voice: Rampage Edition" in jagged, blood-red letters. The episode started with Donald in his living room, frustrated as usual with his inability to speak clearly. His nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, watched him with concerned expressions, their usual playful demeanor absent.
Donald's frustration grew, and he stormed out of the house. The scene shifted to a rundown pharmacy, where Donald found a mysterious bottle labeled "Dream Voice: Extra Strength." Desperation in his eyes, he drank the entire bottle in one gulp. The screen flickered, and for a brief moment, a hyper-realistic image of Donald's face appeared, contorted in agony.
When the image returned to normal, Donald's eyes had changed. They were no longer the familiar blue, but a sinister, glowing red. He began to speak, and his voice was no longer the comical, quacking stutter. Instead, it was deep, clear, and filled with malice. The background music shifted to a low, ominous drone.
Donald's newfound voice gave him an eerie confidence. He returned home, but instead of the usual hijinks, he began to berate his nephews, his voice filled with venom. The boys looked terrified, and the screen flickered again, showing brief flashes of their faces twisted in fear and pain.
As the episode progressed, Donald's behavior became increasingly violent. He destroyed furniture, threw objects, and his anger seemed to know no bounds. The animation grew darker and more surreal, with shadows moving in unnatural ways and the background distorting.
The climax of the episode was horrifying. Donald, in a fit of rage, chased his nephews through the house. The camera angles were disorienting, and the audio was filled with their terrified screams and Donald's maniacal laughter. The screen flickered again, showing hyper-realistic images of the nephews' faces, now covered in bruises and cuts.
The final scene showed the aftermath of Donald's rampage. The house was in ruins, and Donald stood in the middle of the wreckage, his eyes still glowing red. He turned to the camera, his face contorted into a twisted smile, and in his new, terrifying voice, he whispered, "Dreams are made of nightmares."
The episode ended abruptly, with no credits or outro music. I sat there, heart pounding, unable to comprehend what I had just seen. I tried to find the forum thread again, but it had disappeared, as if it had never existed.
To this day, I can't shake the feeling of dread that episode left with me. I've stopped watching Donald Duck cartoons, but sometimes, late at night, I hear a deep, sinister voice whispering in the darkness. And in those moments, I feel Donald's glowing red eyes watching me, a chilling reminder that some dreams are better left unrealized.
