History NightmareFuel / SpookyMonth

It's called ''WebAnimation/SpookyMonth'' for a reason, and though the series is primarily rooted in [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments comedy]], it won't shy away from being [[NightmareFuel genuinely scary]] when the situation calls for it.

* The amount of shady characters in Skid's and Pump's town who [[WouldHurtAChild prey on children]] is worryingly high. From serial kidnappers like Frank and Mr. Clown, to sexual predators like Roy's uncle, to evil spirits like Moloch and Dexter, to serial killers like Bob Velseb, Skid and Pump are outright ''lucky'' to still be alive.

* Dexter ''seems'' to be a [[FauxAffablyEvil silly guy]] at first, but then he drops hints of how he got a job as an exterminator to [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals indiscriminately kill all the animals he wants]], with cats being at the top of his hit list.

* Just when it seemed like Moloch was an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, he proceeds to [[DemonicPossession possess Dexter]], giving him a LampreyMouth, and attempts to murder Lila for [[ForTheEvulz no discernible reason]].

* The amount of people in Skid and Pump's neighborhood who [[HarmfulToMinors prey on children]] is worryingly high. From demonic entities like Moloch and the Happy Fella, to [[KidsAreCruel other children]] like Roy and his friends, to ''actual'' [[PaedoHunt child predators]] like Frank and Roy's uncle, Skid and Pump are outright ''lucky'' to still be alive.

* The initial ending for "Tender Treats" has Lila showing Skid photos of how she celebrated Halloween when she was his age. Suddenly, Skid asks if Lila "also" played hide-and-seek with someone and points to a man in the photo standing behind her. Lila is then visibly horrified as she realizes the man in the photo looks like Bob Velseb and rips the picture in half. She tries telling herself they're not the same guy, and then the episode slowly darkens while highlighting the man's smiling face...

* Skid and Pump head for a haunted house, meeting a fake vampire greeter. He has some spooky fun with the boys, using mirrors and green screens to hide his reflection, before sending them through. When Bob shows up, though, he kills the greeter, and goes through the haunted house [[ImAHumanitarian while eating part of his body]]. When exiting, Skid and Pump get to see his dying body, with his visibly terrified eyes still moving and focusing on the two kids, but they luckily just brush it off as particularly realistic effects.

* Lila's EstablishingCharacterMoment has her being held at [[SlashedThroat knifepoint]] by a demon, all while begging for Skid to call 911.

* Bob Velseb, the murderer guy from the first video, returns, and now he's basically what would happen if Dexter was actually successful in killing anybody. He's noted to have killed people every Halloween, and has killed more and more each year. This year he's already offed eight people by the time the mayor tells John and Jack to catch him. Every prior episode (barring "Unwanted Guest" and "Deadly Smiles", which don't take place on Halloween) feels a bit more tense when you know that a violent serial killer is out there.

* '''The Eyes of the Universe.''' ...It's hard to even describe it. It's as if [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Mother Brain]] was transformed into a [[Literature/CthulhuMythos Lovecraftian horror]], complete with a VoiceOfTheLegion. Granted, Skid and Pump ''do'' befriend it, but that doesn't stop them from going out and [[MassHypnosis hypnotizing the entire town]].

* Dexter ''seems'' to be a [[FauxAffablyEvil silly guy]] at first, but then he drops hints of how he got a job as an exterminator to [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals indiscriminately kill all the animals as he wants]], with cats being at the top of his hit list.

* Just when it seemed like Moloch was an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, he proceeds to [[DemonicPossession possess Dexter]], giving him a LampreyMouth, and attempts to murder Lila for [[FotTheEvulz no discernible reason]].

* Before Skid is revealed to be a CheerfulChild, he's first shown with his FaceInTheShadows, seemingly with a SlasherSmile, all while a [[ForDoomTheBellTolls deathly chime]] echoes in the background.

Unlike the more humorous shorts advertising the original plushies and the shirts, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DQDs2cgcuI the short]] for the second edition of the plushies has Skid and Pump watch an advertisement on TV inspired by ''[[Film/HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch Halloween III]]'', featuring a frightening, flickering "[[WickedWitch glitch witch]]" as a circus-like tone plays in the background. Lila walks into the living room and [[ToyTransmutation discovers the two have been turned into dolls]], before noticing the witch on the TV. She's caught staring into her eyes as the tone quickens and distorts, camera closing in on one of the witch's bloodshot eyes to reveal Skid and Pump staring back at her, flickering in and out. The very last frame shows Lila now in the spot between them, and the short just ''ends''.

* It's not just those three Dexter attempts to kill, either. After being confiscated by the police, Dexter enters the holding cells, and attempts to stab the [[ThoseTwoGuys goofy burglars]], and after causing a [[LightsOffSomebodyDies blackout]] at the candy store, he engages Kevin in battle and ''actually'' manages to stab him in the leg. Considering he had never met any of these people prior to this episode, it speaks volumes to how AxCrazy Dexter is.
