6	----
7	* While played for laughs, some of the injuries can get quite gruesome, such as Chowder's spine popping out when he reaches for Toenuts on the floor, or Truffle's fingers getting literally worked to the bone.
8	* In "The Froggy Apple Crumple Thumpkin", when Chowder gets confused when Mung is explaining the recipe, a bunch of images flash. Some [=YouTubers=] slowed down the clip to see the images, and some are a bit creepy. Like, not scary, but an eerie feel. There's also a picture a [=YouTuber=] put out that was a bit scary when you thought about it, and the audio backwards is just weird. Look at it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIpmQYk-H2I here]]:
9	* WordOfGod is that the main cast escaped from the Cinnamini Monster's house by ''cutting it open'' to get the key it swallowed.
10	* "Thrice Cream Man" is pretty tame for the most part, but gets terrifying during the second half of the episode; it starts off with Chowder's NightmareSequence where an ArtShift occurs and Chowder is haunted by Thrice Cream cones and Thrice Cream Man (ending with Chowder about to be eaten from a Thrice Cream cone by a giant version of himself), followed by Thrice Cream Man standing right beside his bed while Chowder moans in pain, and then finally culminating in Thrice Cream Man getting angry when Chowder refuses to eat any more scoop-in-mouth Thrice Cream and then ''forcing Chowder to eat it''. What Thrice Cream Man says right after - complete with an enraged tone of voice - only makes the ongoing atmosphere even worse.
11	-->'''Thrice Cream Man:''' Chowder eat scoop-in-mouth '''FOREVER!'''
12	* The [[NightmareFace creepy close-up of Gazpacho's face]] in "Gazpacho Stands Up", when he nervously asks Chowder if he brought the Comedy Gold book.
13	-->'''Gazpacho:''' You bought the book right?! Comedy Gold?!
14	* As Chowder struggles to explain why the Elemelons aren't listening to Truffles, the scene abruptly cuts to [[NightmareFace a terrifying, demonic version of herself]], complete with growling and hissing.
15	-->'''Chowder, hiding under his hat:''' Scary. You're really scary.
16	* In "The Puckerberry Overlords," Chowder very nearly ''implodes'' in on himself after eating the titular fruit.
17	* Ms. Endive can be pretty scary when she [[SanitySlippage loses it]], but it's most noticeable in the episode "Shnitzel Quits" when she nearly ''boils him alive'' to "[[{{Yandere}} stew him up to the thought of marriage]]". There's also her and Panini's [[NightmareFace Nightmare Faces]] when they corner Shnitzel on the balcony, and the poor rock monster is understandably scared for his life.
18	-->'''Ms. Endive:''' ''(As she and Panini advance on a terrified Shnitzel)'' ''We can start picking off china! A-and linnings! We'll be so happy together!'' '''''I just know it!!!'''''\
19	'''Panini:''' '''''[[MadnessMantra Chowder, Chowder, Chowder, Chowder, Chowder...]]'''''
20	** There's also Endive's ''literal'' skeleton in the closet:
21	--->'''Skeleton''': Please help me...
22	* The Lollipop Man in "Broken Part" turning from jolly to psychotic when Chowder doesn't have enough money to buy a pair of feet for Mung's feetza machine. Even ''before'' he got angry, he was... rather off.
23	-->'''Lollipop Man''': No...money? ''(he turns red and, with a near-inhuman growl, gives off [[NightmareFace a nightmarishly angry face]] to Chowder)'' 23....SKI''DOOOOOOO!!!!!!''
24	* The entire concept of Meaches and Mince Meach Pie from "The Meach Harvest", which is one of the most dangerous dishes to prepare in the cartoon; unlike other Marzapanian dishes, they remain dangerous even after they're prepared. Meaches are large carnivorous peaches that are violently hostile toward others and very protective of their queen, who is the only Meach tasty enough to properly make the dish. In order to make said dish, you have to make it through the guard Meaches which is in its own is a task that could get you killed. However, eating the dish gets you an even worse fate, as the Meaches will track you everywhere and periodically maul you every day until they kill you or they get tired of attacking. Mung suffered this for 25 years after eating the pie, breaking his spirit and leaving him a shell of his former self. It gets even worse by the end of the episode, as only Chowder is still capable of walking after the beating the Catering Company took from the order.
25	* Gazpacho's SanitySlippage in "Banned from the Stand"; he even goes as far as to babbling incoherently while stamping everything in sight.
26	* The episode "Cream Puff Hands" where Chowder accidentally gets his hand puffed till it's bigger than his own body and while Mung and Shnitzel try and fix the machine chowder goes around town and helps everybody which he starts enjoying but soon he becomes [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity mad with power]] and decides to make it bigger to the point where he starts to cause chaos and when Mung tries to stop him Chowder makes a really monstrous look on his face and says in a really creepy high-pitched voice "I WANT TO HELP THE WORLD!" Thank god Mung stopped him before he causes even more world-ending chaos!'
27	* In the episode where Gazpacho thinks he's accidentally killed Chowder, he makes a dummy made out of meat that looks like him. He panics wondering if Mung and Truffles would find out that Chowder is [not] dead, and then the dummy speaks to Gazpacho: "Oh, They'll Notice."
28	* That dancing baby Minotaur from the episode "The Deadly Maze". His father, Jeffrey is just as terrifying.
29	** Also, that face Chowder makes at the beginning of said episode. Those eyes...
30	* Chowder's LampreyMouth. Just....Jesus Christ. It's the image of this page for a reason.
31	** And just for context, Chowder gave himself all those teeth so that he can have the dentist check them and give him a lollipop. The dentist, horrified at what he sees, gives him the key to the lollipop vault and tells him to take them all and go away. Chowder eats them all at once to the point of almost choking on them.
32	* Gazpacho in "The Spookiest House In Marzipan" The way he scares the kids is sickening.
33	* There is also the time where Chowder gets possessed by an old dry turkey, or "Flurkey" as they call it, and they have to go through a literal hell to try and get Chowder exorcized.
