History NightmareFuel / SpongeBobSquarePants

** There's a moment much worse right at the ending when Patty is rotting. The GrossUpCloseUp of it is bad enough, but there's one after Squidward questions its "beauty" to [=SpongeBob=], where it not only has mold, but [[NauseaFuel also mold spots, what looks like fungi and EVEN MAGGOTS INSIDE IT.]] [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/spongebob/images/3/37/To_Love_a_Patty_174.png/revision/latest?cb=20200121232435 Here's the image if you dare to look.]]

* "To Love a Patty". There are plenty of horrifying moments in this episode, such as when [=SpongeBob=] is [[CompanionFood in love with Patty]] and during their FallingInLoveMontage, [=SpongeBob=] [[BirdPeopleAbuseAnimals smashes scallops who are trying to eat Patty.]] This would've been avoided if he simply pried it out from their grasp, considering we've seen him [[NeverLiveItDown raising a scallop]] [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS3E9KrabBorgRockAByeBivalve with Patrick early in the series.]]

* The demented shot of [=SpongeBob's=] face from "[=WhoBob WhatPants=]" (pictured above), quite possibly the most terrifying thing to have ever come out of the show, arguably scarier than the "Moar Krabs" and "Unsure Squidward" faces.

** By the time he finds the pencil to erase [=SpongeBob's=] memory, Squidward appears to have a brief SanitySlippage. Oh, and during the scene where Squidward removes his name from [=SpongeBob's=] brain, [=SpongeBob=] mumbles in his sleep "Oh, Squidward, ''[[StalkerWithoutACrush let's be roommates and live together... and ever... and ever...]]''"

** The [[OminousMusicBoxTune creepy]] [[CreepyChildrenSinging song]], titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=482CpyWqH6U "Ghost Child"]], that plays when [=SpongeBob=] nervously washes dishes at the beginning of the episode sounds like it wouldn't be out of place in a horror movie. Thankfully, it was only a short snippet of the full track.

** In the GBA version, some enemies and bosses have a more aggressive appearance than in the UsefulNotes/PlayStation version.

* "Tea at the Treedome", which revolves around [=SpongeBob=] slowly dehydrating in Sandy's tree dome. His MadnessMantra of "I don't need it" while staring at a vase of water before he finally snaps, complete with a HeartbeatSoundtrack and the GrossUpCloseUp of his face, is pretty creepy. Before (and after) that occurred there were plenty of [[NightmareFace disturbing faces]] of dehydrated [=SpongeBob=].

* Near the beginning of "Naughty Nautical Neighbors," Squidward laughs as he's eating a meal, and due to getting distracted for a moment, he chokes on his fork. We're treated to a shot lasting several seconds of Squidward choking on the fork, which is lodged in his throat, all while he makes [[HellIsThatNoise painful choking sounds]]. Eventually, his face tuns blue and he passes out. Thankfully, Patrick saves him.

** Patrick goes on a rampage due to thinking [=SpongeBob=] didn't get him a Valentine. Eventually, he corners everyone and prepares to obliterate all of them, starting with his best friend, all while having [[WingdingEyes bizarre swirling eyes]] [[OhCrap as [=SpongeBob=] cowers in complete horror]]. If Sandy hadn't arrived last minute, then the poor sponge would have been done for.

* In "Dying For Pie", one of the things that [=SpongeBob=] wanted to do with Squidward is doing surgery ''on'' Squidward and poking Squidward's heart ''while Squidward is still conscious'' which is seen in ''way'' too much detail. A few moments later, '''[[HighPressureBlood BLOOD STARTS SQUIRTING OUT]]!'''

* In "Something Smells", just the fact that SpongeBob's breath is so bad that it's getting people ''killed''. Two anchovies allow themselves to be hooked to escape the stench, and another fish loses control of his boat until it explodes with him inside, leaving only the charred frame.

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1yGmJsipqg the original 4D ride]], Painty the Pirate [[JumpScare lurches out of his painting]] when he says, "I can't hear you!" After the second "Aye-aye, Captain!", he [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou grabs the viewers]] and throws them into Bikini Bottom while shouting "In you go!".

* It's probably unintentional, but in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1yGmJsipqg the original 4D ride]], Painty the Pirate leans out of the painting and grabs the viewers, throwing them into Bikini Bottom while shouting "In you go!".

* "SB-129" is by ''far'' one of the creepiest episodes in the entire series, being filled to the brim with FridgeHorror, and possibly the most surreal audio and visuals out of any other episode on the show. The most disturbing part of the episode features Squidward arriving in a realm of nothingness after traveling through the future and the past. He's alone there with only mild (but creepy) noises heard in the background. The audience can tell there's something... ''off'' about this place but Squid initially likes it because of its seclusion. Until he says "alone", the word "alone" appears in various fonts, all announced by disembodied voices that start to slowly layer upon each other. This freaks out Squidward to the point where he runs off-camera... except it just loops him back to his starting point. He escapes by pure dumb luck by stomping the ground enough times, which lands him back in the time elevator.

** Just the fact that Squidward exists at the apparant end of time, meaning he and he alone outlived every single person in Bikini Bottom, and possibly the entire ''planet''.
