!!Tropes:
* AnAesop: Sometimes it’s fun to be scared.
* BedsheetGhost: The ghost in the OncePerEpisode recess ImagineSpot is one.
** It’s also seen as several characters’ costumes throughout the episode.
* BowelBreakingBricks: Molly, Deema, and Goby scare the ghost so badly that he poops out a bucket of Halloween candy.
* CompanyCrossReferences: During their “Trick or Treat” song, Molly mentions that you can be anything you want for Halloween, even somebody on TV, and then a picture of [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Spongebob]] is shown.
* EvilLaugh: Deema does one when she’s giving Goby his costume, complete with DramaticThunder.
* FailedAttemptAtScaring: Mr. Grumpfish isn’t impressed with any part of the Guppies’ haunted house and only gets scared after he sees his reflection in a mirror with his jack-o-lantern face paint on.
* TheGrinch: Mr. Grumpfish, of the Halloween variant.
* HalloweenEpisode: The Guppies work together to show Mr. Grumpfish how fun Halloween can be.
* HalloweenSongs: “Trick or Treat” and “Trick or Treat Dance”
* HauntedHouse: The Guppies turn their classroom into one to celebrate Halloween.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A spooky [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scooby Doo-esque]] sound effect plays whenever Bubble Puppy in the ghost costume shows up.
-->'''Deema:''' The ghost is coming, you can tell by the spooky music!
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: The ghost wasn’t trying to scare Molly, Deema, and Goby, it just wanted to trick or treat with them and they kept running away before he could ask.
* NotAMask: Gil is checking out all the scary masks at the Halloween costume store and comes to the end of the shelf where Mr. Grumpfish is standing. Gil remarks that one’s the scariest of them all (referring to Mr. Grumpfish’s grumpy face), after which Mr. Grumpfish moves and scares him.
* PerpetualFrowner: Mr. Grumpfish has such a cranky-looking expression all the time that when he catches sight of it in a mirror, it even scares ''him''!
-->'''Mr. Grumpfish:''' It was orange and mean and it looked so...grumpy!
* ShoutOut: The carpet in the apartment Molly, Deema, and Goby go trick-or-treating in has the same pattern that the carpet in the Overlook does in ''[[Film/TheShining The Shining]]''.
* VampireVords: Goby when he’s dressed up as a vampire.
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: Mr. Grumpfish is so tickled by the fact that he scared himself with his own sourpuss expression that he finally sees the joy of Halloween and starts cracking up. He even breaks into song!
* WolvesAlwaysHowlAtTheMoon: Gil and three little fish are dressed up as werewolves and Gil is trying to teach them how to howl at a cardboard moon. The little fish can’t quite get it right though, making chicken noises instead.
-->'''Gil:''' We’re hairy, we’re scary, and when we see the full moon, we howl.
