Nightmare Fuel / Bump in the Night

Go To

  • In "Farewell, 2 Arms," Molly, tired of being weak and breakable, slowly has her body parts replaced with stronger toy parts. From a toy's perspective, that's creepy enough, but then she decides that she wants a new head. Mr. Bumpy's head.
    • She announces this by pulling her head off and throwing it at him.
    • The Sanity Slippage Molly goes through in the episode is also pretty unnerving, thanks in no small part to Gail Matthius' voice acting.
  • Mr. Bumpy's descent into madness when Squishington makes him cut back on the socks in "Sock it to Me". The fact that the scene where Bumpy demands Squishington give him the key to the safe containing the socks is based on the "Give me the bat" scene from The Shining does not help.
  • Squishington's dried up appearance when he dehydrates in "Water Way to Go". It is not a pretty sight.
  • In “Hocus Dopus”, Mr. Bumpy becomes so discouraged about not being able to pull a rabbit out of a hat to cheer up a sick Squishington, that he actually comes this close to feeding himself to the Closet Monster! Thankfully, Squishington was able to stop him before he did anything drastic.
  • Any scene that involves the Closet Monster as it is feared by most of the characters in the show and it usually threatens to eat up anyone it comes near to.
    • In one episode, it actually successfully grabs Mr. Bumpy, who is then Swallowed Whole. This gives us an up-close and personal look at the Closet Monster's stomach: an inside-out pincushion full of comparatively huge pins and needles. Only sheer luck and grabbing a piece of fabric dangling down its throat keeps Bumpy from ending up being Impaled with Extreme Prejudice.
