* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The creators are intentionally vague about where Hillwood City is supposed to be, made even more difficult by the fact that it apparently combines features of several real-life US cities, specifically Brooklyn, Portland, and Seattle. However, there are several references over the course of the show that hint at Hillwood being somewhere in Washington State or in the American Northwest, at the very least.

* StrictlyFormula: The supernatural/horror themed episodes follow the same plot. One character tells the story of an urban legend which makes Arnold and his friends curious, one kid will [[AgentMulder believe in the tale]] while another kid [[AgentScully will dismiss it as a bogus myth]], the kids will encounter numerous elements from the story which will usually scare non-believer into believing, the encounters are later debunked as mundane coincidences and the kids dismiss the story as fake, and the episode will end with a stinger confirming (or strongly implying) that the legend is RealAfterAll.
** In "Haunted Train", Grandpa tells the kids a story about a ghost train driven by a mad engineer that sends its passengers to Hell. Helga does not believe in ghosts, citing there's no scientific evidence of their existence. Arnold remarks that some things can't be proven with science and are a matter of faith. Arnold, Gerald, and Helga visit the abandoned train station at midnight and sure enough a train that fits the story's description arrives and the kids board it. During the ride, Helga is frightened as they relive the story and begins to believe. They later find out they're just on a normal train that transports steel mill workers. While Grandpa drives the kids home, they decide the haunted train isn't real. Only for the episode to end with the ghost of the mad engineer riding the train and singing about the legend.
** In "Wheezin' Ed", Gerald tells the kids the legend of the titular mobster who hid a treasure in a cave on Elk Island; anyone who tried to find the treasure would be killed by Wheezin' Ed's ghost. The kids travel to the island and seek the treasure, what they find is a cache of counterfeit coins. When the counterfeiters find them, they believe they're Wheezin' Ed and run off. Eventually the kids are rescued and the counterfeiters are arrested. Arnold believes there really is no treasure or ghost and the episode ends with a shot of the cave and the sound of evil laughter and coughing, presumably from the real Wheezin' Ed.
** In "Four-Eyed Jack", Arnold and Gerald find an old pair of eyeglasses in a box in the boarding house. Grandpa tells him they belonged to a scientist who used to live in the house and was killed in a failed experiment. His ghost allegedly wanders the house looking for the glasses. Arnold believes in the story but Gerald does not. As they explore the house at night, many weird and creepy things happen but are quickly revealed to just be actions by Grandpa and the boarders. Arnold decides there really isn't a ghost and he and Gerald go to sleep. Later that night, the ghost does appear, takes the glasses, and playfully scares Gerald.
** In "Ghost Bride", the kids hear the tale of a bride-to-be who's fiancee ran off with her sister. As revenge, the woman kills the couple with an axe while still wearing her wedding gown. When the police arrive, the bride was still in the room calmly humming the wedding march before jumping out the window to her death. It's believed that on the anniversary of the killing, the ghost bride wanders the cemetery she was buried in humming the wedding march and carrying her axe. Arnold and a group of kids go to the cemetery to prove the story isn't real only for them to be scared by Curly and Helga who dressed as the ghost bride. The episode ends with Curly still trapped in the cemetery and can hear the humming.
** In "The Headless Cabbie", Arnold tells the kids the story of the ghost of a carriage driver who was decapitated after his scarf was caught on a tree while chasing after a woman's lost dog. The kids later decide to go out for ice cream and take a shortcut through the park. They later encounter various elements from the story; the lost dog, the hook-handed man, the laughing woman, and finally the cabbie himself. But it's revealed the whole thing was just a bunch of coincidences; the hook-handed man was just a watch salesman, the laughing woman was Mr. Hyunh, and the cabbie was Ernie who took up carriage driving as a second job. After the kids go home, a woman asks Ernie to help her find her lost dog, she offers him her scarf.
** In "Sid the Vampire Slayer", Sid believes Stinky is a vampire and tries to prove it to a skeptical Arnold. Again, Sid encounters numerous coincidences that makes him believe he's a vampire; wearing sunglasses to block the sun, refusing to eat garlic, not appearing in photographs, sleeping in a coffin, and allegedly biting the neck of a goat. It turns out Stinky just doesn't like the taste of garlic, he didn't appear in the photograph because he ducked down to pick up something he dropped while Sid took the shot, the goat was a stuffed toy and Stinky was removing a loose thread with his teeth, and the coffin was just a tanning bed. When Arnold and Sid leave Stinky's house, he is seen talking to a bat and growing a pair of fangs, implying he really is a vampire.
