Welcome to Scroll Deep, the show that keeps up with all the latest goings on so you don't have to, because who has time to keep up with all this internet? Me, apparently. Formerly YouTuber News (RIP).

You give a crew of 10 theater kids buckets of paint, a bale of cardboard, hot glue, resin, zip ties and a week and they would’ve done better

[caitlingill]

If someone made this a comedy satire event for adults (or 13+) to attend and made the tickets like $10, this could have been a big hit lol

[elisa]

as a glasgow resident i’m SO sad i wasn’t there

[christopherjustice]

I guarantee you. People will be dressing up as the unknown for Halloween.

[rebecca]

I CANNOT stop saying what. is. that? It’s the unknown!!!

[selmalarsson]

They should have given everyone a free hour in the ball pit

[ArtilleryZoneProductions]

The idea that the unknown would be the only actor to show up and terrorize the kids with nothing else is hilarious to me.

[selmalarsson]

I cannot wait for the sequel to the wonka movie, Wonka 2 revenge of the unknown

[angelicanordstrom]

Petition for Benedict to have The Unknown as a surprise celebrity guest on the show

[itzkingcringe]

I would 100% go and meet The Unknown if this was in London.

[Pipkiablo]

When I first heard about this, I was expecting seven foot tall Oompa Loompas smoking a pack of cigarettes while reading off of cue cards, and this is somehow worse.

[penelopedick]

All the reactions to this event have led me understand that Glasgow is the British version of Philly

[ChrisBeech-jr]

love how the scary phantom guy hides behind a mirror so the kids can see their own fear and disappointment induced tears

[elisa]

i heard the unknown was timothee shalamees evil twin

[kirara]

Him: No human would create a character called the Unknown.
Nomura: Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed.
Pokemon: Literally has an entire alphabet of Unown.

[morkel]

I’ve been waiting all week for this video. This is a public service.

[kellys]

Never let “there’s chocolate and then there’s chocolate” die 😂

[monicamarie_]

That ninja turtle joke at the end had me dying 😂

[charmer]

I am honestly obsessed with the unknown

[RandomBlueArmadillo]

I don’t know, man… my 2 year old daughter would’ve probably been hyped about “The Unknown” emerging from behind that mirror, but she’s 27 pounds of unhinged chaotic energy.
I think my husband and I would’ve been in such awe of the absolute nonsense around us that it would’ve felt as baffling as any of the Wonka film experiences. Magic! Jelly Bean[s]! Liminal Spaces! Yippee!
