Going Insane

Somewhere there's a font or effect for it...
A Font or effect or something. There was an entire thread based around it, and its meme a while back here on MeFi. Try as I might I can't remember enough detail to find it myself, so I turn to you, fellow mefites to come to my rescue, just in time for Halloween.
The creepy text font that looks like the text is melting/going insane. Comics (including penny arcade) had strips about it and was associated with folks being possessed/going insane and killing the fellow co-stars in the comics.
The text seemed to be pretty universal for OSes and browsers (ʇuoɟ uʍop ǝpsdn ǝɥʇ ǝʞıl ɥɔnɯ). Help! and Thanks.

Best answer: Yep, sounds like Zalgo. Here's the Mefi thread and here's a generator to make some of your own.
