Show For Children is the second part of the Local 58 lore.
Overview
The video begins with a Local 58 ID card, followed by a schedule stating that "Show for Children" starts at 4:15 am. The broadcast glitches into a Local 58 bumper with a clown figure in an amusement park accompanied by distorted carnival music, along with the title "Show for Children", before then fading into the title card of a cartoon called "Cadavre".
The cartoon begins with the titular character Cadavre walking in a graveyard at night, where he is looking for his wife. Peeking into one of the graves, he instead finds a disturbing-looking skeleton (which still has its eyeballs, and its mouth wide open). Cadavre gets scared and runs away. Frightened, he walks around the graveyard some more and finds another open grave. He peeks into it and this time, he sees a baby bird's skeleton. The baby bird opens its beak and makes a weakly noise. Cadavre, once again, runs away.
The weather becomes windy, and Cadavre becomes cold. After walking further through the graveyard, he finds another open grave which is now deeper than the others. He enters the hole, and finds a cave. After walking through the cave for a while, the shot fades to black and then fades back to a shot Cadavre, now lying on the ground beneath a grave. He is staring at the sky through the opening above him. The moon slowly slides into view and soon after, Cadavre is shown as a skeleton (without his clothes, and buried into the ground), implied dead. The cartoon ends.
The video ends with the Local 58 clown figure bumper from before, except for the text saying "See You Next Time" and the clown subtly turning its eyes to the camera, until it's cut short and the video glitches into black.
