A show about seven musically-talented middle school misfits and their ex-superstar teacher? Gee, how could this be scar- WHAT IS THAT?!
Pilot
- The giant squid from the "dramatic reading" of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It comes out of nowhere and almost gets Principal Luna and a nurse.
- The blob. First, there's what it is, a blob monster made from a fusion of sloppy joe and nuclear waste. Second, it can apparently act in many parts (when it escapes from Westley). Third, the fact that it could have easily gone into critical mass. Also, they sold it at the end.
- This is arguably the scariest episode in the series. To whit:
- The building for Soul Stack Records has what's implied to be lost souls floating around it. Not to mention, the elevator appears to go only DOWN.
- Their "Marketing and Research" department has zombies for staff. And before that, we get a lovely shot of Big D's henchmen dragging souls into flame-filled rooms.
- Sunny accidentally decapitates Big D's henchmen... who then regrow their heads. Granted, it's migated slightly by them not having holes and having no ill will towards it, but still...
- Big D is obviously a creepy analog for Satan and the only reason they don't say it aloud is the rating.
- Li'l D's smile in the "All We Want Is Your Soul" music video. The only thing to wonder is if it's a Broken Smile, a Slasher Smile, or both.
- The song itself is creepy. The repeat of the phrase "all we want is your soul" does not help.
- If you look closely during the song when he drums, it looks like he's mouthing the words, "Please Help."
- When Sunny tricks Big D and gets his soul out of the contract, Big D curses him while enraged in flames, and the building sinks into the ground with an explosion as Sunny and Li'l D walk away.
- Phil's face getting swollen due to red ant allergies, rendering him unintelligible. It's worse than it sounds.
- The music in his boombox is "off the hinges", as he puts it. While not as brick-shitting as some of the other parts of this list, it's still a rather creepy track.
- The maid's face in the "Clean Up" music video. To be more specific, a real woman's eyes, nose and face on a cartoon woman. Unintentional Uncanny Valley ahoy!
- Kam and Eddie get spit out of a large fish in that same music video, implying that they were nearly Eaten Alive.
- Likewise, Tamika and Madison nearly getting eaten by a plant hydra.
- Kim and Phil in that same music video were also implied to have been in the washer.
- This is a Unexpectedly Dark Episode for the series, as it deals with the fears of getting lost in a dark forest.
- Madison's ghost story about Ghostie-Whostie is this In-Universe, as it keeps Tamika up all night. Out of universe, the use of lightning makes her look almost ghostlike.
- Early in the episode, the class (minus Tamika and Madison) venture into a cave to play instruments (for the acoustics) and get set on by a rabid wolf pack, a bear, and Cyclops. The only thing that spares them from being smashed into pieces by Cyclops's axe is its lack of depth perception.
