** How do the Ghostbusters manage to escape with Flieschman? Dopey Dog and the other cartoon heroes tear the film which makes up the Cartoon World. Winchester is [[OhCrap genuinely horrified at this]] and abandons his duel with Dopey to stop them. Flieschman begs his rescuers not to look back as Winchester grows to a giant size to prevent his creator from leaving. How loyal were Dopey Dog and the other heroes? [[HeroicSacrifice ''They were willing to commit suicide and destroy their entire home to save their father'']].

** Never mind how the... ''things'' he unleashed on NYC looked like [[UncannyValley Hieronymous Bosch had dropped acid]].

* Egon is bitten by a chicken-like ghost and turns into a were-chicken.

* The Grundel, possibly the most terrifying foe in the entire franchise, who is a cross between a vampire, a goblin, and a child molester. He appears to children with a mischievous nature and acts as TheCorrupter, encouraging them toward increasingly evil acts and eventually turning them into more Grundels.
* The Boogieman. Holy ''crap''.

*** If the appearance of the Boogieman isn't scary enough, his voice when he wheezes "''I remember you''" to Egon will send chills down anyone's spine, especially when they realize he terrorized Egon as a small child. Imagine being a kid and seeing that thing skulk out of your closet and speak to you in that unholy voice on a nightly basis. Eeek.

* Watt coming close to releasing every ghost in the Containment Unit by [[GrandTheftMe possessing Peter.]] And Peter's struggle to fight from within, as control goes back and forth between them. It's one of the few times the wisecracking Peter is genuinly terrified.

** The freakiest part is after Ghash absorbs Slimer and a bunch of other ghosts, you see bulges all over Ghash's stomach as they try to get back out. The Ghostbusters save Slimer. The rest of the ghosts...aren't so lucky.
* The Sandman wasn't particularly scary in-and-of himself, nor was his plan to put the world to sleep horrifying...but [[Creator/FrankWelker his horrible, horrible voice]] sure is.
** Never mind how the...''things'' he unleashed on NYC looked like [[UncannyValley Hieronymous Bosch had dropped acid]].
** There's also FridgeHorror. The Sandman genuinely wants to [[WellIntentionedExtremist protect humanity from itself]], but what would happen if a natural disaster occurred while everyone was asleep? The answer? Countless innocents could be injured or killed, and no one would be in a position to come to their aid. And if he put all the Ghostbusters to sleep, no one would be left to stop later paranormal attacks.
** Never mind a natural disaster. The Sandman wants the world to sleep for 500 years. Everyone would be dead within a month or less as their bodies shut down due to dehydration and starvation.
* The episode where the ghost-obliterating robot accidentally creates some extremely powerful ghosts from the dispersed PKE. The results were...bad.

** The Ghostbusters' sinking realization after they banish Cthulhu that they still have to deal with his cult of murderous psychopaths...and how the timely arrival of the police (i.e., sheer luck) saved their lives from [[{{Mundanger}} a very mundane threat]].

* The ghost that feeds on electricity in "Ain't NASA-sarily so."

* As the title says, "The Thing in Mrs. Faversham's Attic." A force that can [[AnimateInanimateObject possess mere objects]], [[RealityWarper effectively bend reality to its will]], and [[UnstoppableRage full of rage]] over [[SealedEvilInACan being confined in that attic for seventy years]].
** This episode's also notable for having almost ''no'' comedic elements whatsoever: There's a bit of CringeComedy with Slimer trying to trick the entity by impersonating Mrs. Faversham's late father, but otherwise it's about as straight a horror story as an Creator/HPLovecraft tale. (Granted, in a departure from Lovecraft, when the episode isn't being horrific, [[Heartwarming/TheRealGhostbusters it's being heart-melting]].)
* Victor the Happy Ghost; as TheReveal of his true nature is bone-chilling.

* The BodyHorror-riffic episode where our heroes become "allergic to ghosts." Giant body parts on the torso, anyone?

* The demon-possessed Ray, Janine, and Slimer's faces in "Ghostworld." Yikes.
