Awesome / Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

• The farmhand's revenge on the witch in "A New Horse". A magnificent example of power backfiring.
• In "Harold", Thomas and Alfred constantly use the scarecrow as a punching bag, foolishly dismissing Harold grunting one day, as an animal getting inside the doll. It makes Harold's evolution to a living nightmare as awesome as it is horrifying.
• Their version of "The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs" ends with the police showing up to arrest the lunatic in the house when he comes downstairs. It seems the babysitter in this one was much more Genre Savvy.
• "The Cat In The Shopping Bag", where a Christmas thief gets her comeuppance.
  Mrs. Briggs: This is hers. It's her Christmas present! She wouldn't want to lose it.
• "The Little Black Dog": Even in death, the titular little dog comes back from the grave and gives Billy Mansfield (its owner's killer as well as the one who killed the dog) one heck of a haunting. It's pretty satisfying once the little dog finishes Billy off, having avenged both its and its owner's deaths.
• The ending of "The Ghost with Bloody Fingers" is this as much as it is a Crowning Moment of Funny. Basically, a hotel room is haunted by a ghost with (what else?) bloody fingers, who scares off any poor soul who stays there. Then in comes a guitar player, and the ghost does his usual routine, but the man ignores him. At last, he gets fed up and tells the ghost "Cool it, man! Get yourself a band-aid!" Scene.
