Dark Stanley

Dark Stanley (formally known as Stanley Degroot) was once a cook at Springfield Elementary School.

According to Bart, the students always made fun of Stanley because he never graduated from college (he was short two credits at MIT). Stanley finally went insane and became homicidal from the constant harassment. One day, he picked up a cleaver and went after the students, chopped their heads off and threw it into a dish he calls "Kid's Heads Soup." Dark Stanley was hanged for murder and buried in an unmarked grave and when they came back the next day, the whole cemetery was missing.

After Bart told the story (as part of his prank), rumors of Dark Stanley began to spread around the school. These rumors include that Dark Stanley takes the skull of his victims and uses them as a toilet and urinates into it. He also takes the skin of his victims and makes them into footie-pajamas.

In Yokel Chords, it was first implied that Dark Stanley was just a ghost story that Bart used as a prank in order to eat the lunches of his classmates. Apparently when Dr. Swanson is seeing her psychiatrist (unable to get Bart off her mind), her psychiatrist suggests she is using Bart to replace her son who was murdered by Dark Stanley. Thus, Dark Stanley may have actually existed.
