SpongeBob SquarePants/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

[[File:unsuretoyou.jpg|frame|Does THIS look like [[Nightmare Retardant]] to you?!<ref>Uhhhhh, no?</ref>]]

 

 

Remember, this page is for describing general sources of [[Nightmare Fuel]].

* All the chaos caused by the fish trying to 'do the sponge' in "The Chaperone" was [[Crosses the Line Twice|really funny]], but also kind of disturbing, such as breaking their own legs clean off, getting their bodies and heads swapped with each other, getting chased ([[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|for some reason]]) by a giant apple, and just straight up ''dieing'' with paramedics catching them on a stretcher!

* When SpongeBob wanted to dress as the Flying Dutchman for Halloween, but his square body didn't allow this. Patrick decided to give him a "haircut" for it to fit. It's not until after a botched attempt at a prank that the real Flying Dutchman tells him to take off the sheet, and flies off screaming. The camera then cut to SpongeBob, where it turns out Patrick didn't just cut off his edges, he ''cut him down to his brain''! Everyone else then ran away from them. Patrick doesn't realize why they all ran off at first, but shortly after SpongeBob explains about his brain, Patrick suddenly runs away too. Despite all this, as was pointed out, ''[[Good Thing You Can Heal|"Don't worry-- it grows back"]]''.

** ...and the music that plays shortly afterward is absolutely [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbURXySdK3U& horrifying]

** There's a deleted scene on the DVD with this episode on it with Squidward transforming into a snail as well.

* In "SB-129", Squidward travels through time and ends up in a blank white void. He remarks to himself that he can finally be alone... which is when the word manifests itself as a colorful caption. Then a series of disembodied voices start saying the word "alone", accompanied by more colorful representations of the word, until Squidward finally snaps and tries to get out.

*** There's also a major [[Fridge Horror]] factor to that. ''Were those voices coming from other people who had been trapped in the same void?''

** "SB-129" also has a mega case of [[Fridge Horror]]. Squidward is in the freezer for 2000 years, and then he gets sent back to the past, and eventually to his own time. Fair enough, right? But then you realise that there are now two Squidwards: the one that returned to the present, and the other which is still STUCK INSIDE THE KRUSTY KRAB'S FREEZER. Presumably it never gets discovered, hence why Squidward isn't freed for 2000 years, which essentially means that after that episode, there's a frozen replica of Squidward inside the freezer. Just as well none of the customers know that... Talk about your [[Timey-Wimey Ball]].

* The episode ''Graveyard Shift'' ended with all the scary things being explained rationally. It turns out the lights had been going on and off because ''the vampire from Nosferatu had been flipping the light-switch.'' [[Roger Rabbit Effect|He's not even animated!]]

** The way Squidward and SpongeBob's eyebrows reacted to the visitor in that episode was creepy.

** The moment that got some was when the power goes out in SpongeBob's house. He lights a candle and hears someone cooing out his name. He turns around and sees his ''chair has gained a horrific-looking mouth and eyes and is coaxing him to "put his feet up" in a obscenely creepy voice.''

* The episode "Jellyfish Hunter", in addition to siccing the nightmarish "Moar Krabs" upon us, contains a genuinely disturbing scene in which SpongeBob is being stalked by a jellyfish, including an infamous "heavy breathing" phone call.
