History WesternAnimation / HalloweenisGrinchNight

The story takes place in and around Whoville, a town that the Grinch periodically terrorizes on a night known as "Grinch Night," which commences when a "Sour-Sweet Wind" blows and sets off a variety of animal calls that annoys the Grinch into terrorizing the Whos. As the story opens, the Sour-Sweet Wind is just beginning to blow when Euchariah, a young bespectacled Who (a resident of Whoville) with astigmatism, goes outdoors to use the outhouse (referred to as "the euphemism" in the story), and is swept away by the wind.

* RuleOfTwo: It takes Euchariah two attempts to stall the Grinch. On the first try, he says he liked being scared by the Grinch's flying eyebrows and asks to be frightened again. The Grinch, though, wants to save the Paraphernalia Wagon for the Who village. But on the second attempt, he's had enough of Euchariah getting in his way and unleashes the wagon's horrors on him.

* DisneyAcidSequence: Everything that happens after the Grinch opens his trap-door... well... to say none of it makes sense is an understatement.

* YouShallNotPass: Euchariah tries to stop the Grinch from tormenting Whoville with his strange device, the Paraphernalia Wagon, by getting in his way before he can get down Mt. Crumpit. Although the Grinch regards him as not a threat, he eventually decides to use the abilities of the Wagon on Euchariah.

* RuleOfThree: It takes Euchariah three attempts to stall the Grinch before he's able to go into the Paraphernalia Wagon.

''[He backs up the Wagon, crushing the flower.]''\\

* DogKickingExcuse: Grandpa Josiah says that the noise of the animals disturbed by the Sweet-Sour Wind riles up the Grinch, but given that the Grinch is actually disappointed when the wind dissipates, it seems likelier that terrorizing Whoville is just something he likes to do and (for whatever reason) he uses the noise as an excuse.

* GoToTheEuphemism: The TropeNamer. Euchariah's attempt to go to this, against his grandfather's advice ("''No one'' goes to the Euphemism on a night like this!") is what has him meet face to face with The Grinch.

** "[[RunningGag I wouldn't go out on a night like this]]...for [[NumberOfTheBeast sixty-six million six hundred thousand]] dollars [[OverlyLongGag and an extra sixty-six cents]]!"

* WarningSong: At the beginning of the MindRape sequence, the Grinch and various creatures can be heard singing a round:
-->''Euchariah, Euchariah,\\

* SurrealHorror: The Paraphernalia Wagon scene. If you need elaboration, see MindRape above.

* RealityWarper: The Grinch has some magic power, as he was able to shrink and enlarge himself in his VillainSong.

* ShoutOut: At one point in the infamous MindRape sequence, Euchariah meets the Jibboo from the Dr. Seuss book "Oh, the Things You Can Think."
