Nosferatuuu

[@manicstatic370]

He has a name

Nah I was never scared of Nosferatu. He was creepy, but seemed nice lol.

Reallllll

Should've included the butterfly episode. Scared me when I was little

[@Mark-cy1jg]

Bro same I was 6 at the time and the close up shots scared me soo badly that I refused to watch SpongeBob till I was 9 or 10😭

[@AnotherNickYT]

I don't even remember that episode. I'll have to go back and check it out.

Same here. I even have a really hard time looking at butterflies now after Wormy.

[@1nnova659]

Squidward in clarinetland deserves more credit, it truly terrified me as a kid and I think is one of the earliest I’ve ever seen some kind of liminal space/backroom in any media

[@segsymoyai]

Graveyard shift is unmatched

[@moarmosspatoproductions1475]

8:10 That really happens in the alternate endings of this episode where Squidward or Patrick get the wish. Glad they never got chosen.

they can actually be on the dvd.

"Scaredy Pants" "Graveyard Shift" "SB-129" "Planet of the Jellyfish" and "The Nasty Patty" were goated for a reason

You forgot the episode Ghost Host where the Dutchman stays in spongebobs house

[@viis374]

Omg I was gonna mention this. I was scared shitless of that episode

[@MnmManz]

Putting Are You Happy Now over Shanghied is... definitely a take

[@J03L-]

Not Nosferatu he use to scare the crap out of me as a kid. Probably what gave me my fear of the dark. I use to think he would be behind a door at night switching the light on and off.

[@AnotherNickYT]

Absolutely crazy inclusion for a kid's show. That was scaring full grown adults back in '22

[@booradley7752]

Oh my gosh. Not me having this same exact fear growing up! I used to tuck my head under the covers when I’d sleep-I was afraid he’d flicker the lights and get me! haha

Nothin' like spongebob stuffing a body! (Dang that traumatized me)

[@alten1426]

Sb-129 is my favorite spongebob episode of all time

Another disturbing thing about SquidBob TentaclePants is that we don't even know how will Squidward, SpongeBob, Sandy, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Mrs. Puff, Pearl, and Larry the Lobster will all be free by the next episode...

[@AnotherNickYT]

For all we know. That episode is the canonical ending to the show

The graveyard shift's ending used to scare me so bad when I was little Yet I used to play it over and over it was really great

[@Lazyboy5298]

Frankendoodle was easily the creepiest episode for me, I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned

[@SavageP.9000]

24:43 That episode is so popular that someone even made a whole Fan Game out of it.

[@chaeyoungs.signal]

I have an unpopular opinion. The procrastination episode. When SpongeBob is dreaming and the house starts speaking, its voice is so unsettling and creepy. I was never sure why I was so scared of it but it made me turn the volume down each time.

[@Mark-cy1jg]

Bruh when I was 6 the butterfly episode with the close up shots scared me so badly as a kid and I refused to watch SpongeBob again until I was around 9 or 10

[@AnotherNickYT]

That sounds crazy. I don't even remember that episode.

[@TheReal_CelestialWolfGacha]

I STILL REFUSE TO WATCH THAT EPISODE, I HATE IT.

[@sonicfanboi9619]

SquidBob TentaclePants is the one that scared me the most as a child.

[@ChunkOhboi]

You forgot two of them I was a teenage Gary and krab borg

[@lilolemilo]

Graveyard Shift and Rock Bottom were my favorite episodes as a kid and still are ❤

[@oprahthegodson2948]

The fact the boat driving episode isn't up here when spongebob cheats is devastating, hearing Patrick's laugh while it zooms in on spongebobs face is straight terror

[@Ralph_ralphster]

I think I had a nightmare of Slappy the dummy from goosebumps stealing my pickle (soul of course) definitely inspired by that episode so thanks for unlocking that memory.

[@noboliNo]

Gorilla costume still haunts me today

[@Insomia-Clown]

Till this day, Spongehenge still scares this living sh- out of me ^^”

[@Bordan-The-Jordan]

there is a canceled episode called "quarantine" and holy god that episode would easily be scarier than some horror games.. however most of the evidence is lost media now, and only a few screenshots exists or clips...

Bro shangheid is the best episode in SpongeBob

[@Jhereckk]

I'm suprised you didn't have Fear of a Krabby Patty in this. It's a great psychological horror as we watch him spiral into psychosis and try to recover from it.

[@angelserenade]

is that the episode where Spongebob tried to cook 10000 krabby patties then got sent to a therapist?

[@Jhereckk]

@angelserenade yep

[@cixdy]

I think "One Krabs Trash" is missing! The episode where Mr Krabs sells the Number 1 hat from Smitty Werben Man Jensen and Spongebob is terrified so he returns it to the graveyard. Mr Krabs wants it back and when he does, the dead become alive.

@@AnotherNickYTI watched neither, but graveyard shift isn’t scary at all.

[@CIKwastaken]

I’m surprised hooky wasn’t here

[@angelserenade]

Teenage Gary was creepy. The transformed spongebob is truly an abomination. I think the episode where Spongebob has to cook 10000 krabby patties has to be mentioned as well. The way Spongebob and Squidward's fatigue affected their mental and physical health is way too relatable. Also, how can anyone forget the Hall Monitor episode! "He's standing there... MENACINGLY!" such a classic line!

[@ultimatedisneycruiselinefa5112]

Nobody’s gonna talk about the factory scene in Jellyfish Hunter, huh? Or even SpongeBob’s splinter, or Squidward having a “foot problem” in House Fancy?

have you seen this snail isn't scary, it's actually sad, but the butterfly episode is scary though.
