Sleep tight... you buggers.
- The Creepy Face Puppet is a disturbingly humanoid puppet with glowing yellow eyes and a real human mouth, and frequently is shrouded in darkness and smoke. As the most villainous of Dixon's puppet characters, all of the other puppet characters are visibly terrified by him, fleeing in terror when he arrives. His frightening appearance compounded with his sinister nature make him a deeply disturbing character for many viewers, as well as the only one to pose a legitimate threat.
- The Halloween Episodes frequently have examples of this:
- "Dabchick in the Cellar" features Dabchick and Barnaby exploring a seemingly haunted basement. The titular cellar is dark, claustrophobic, and decrepit, with broken floors and a mangled grate that Dabchick states "looks like something's come through". Though they do not succeed in finding anything supernatural, the unnerving basement compounded with Dabchick's panic can make the mundane seem terrifying.
- "A Ghost Story with Dabchick" has Dabchick telling a story that sets up the appearance of the ghost of a woman who fell off a cliff, and now wanders the city where she once lived, weeping and haunting passersby. Dabchick's haunting narration and the fact that this is the one episode to not feature any visuals leaves it up to the audience's imagination how terrifying the situation must have been for those involved.
- "The Oogie Boogie Song - Recreated with Puppets" is a faithful homage to The Nightmare Before Christmas, showing the Creepy Face Puppet creepily dancing and singing as he torments and tries to murder Santa Claus (at least a puppet version of him). The Creepy Face Puppet's terror is shown off in full force in this episode, from his glowing eyes and claws, his wildly grinning mouth, and his evil sadism as he tries to have Santa Claus run over by a train.
- "Ghost Story" features the Creepy Face Puppet telling the story of a creature called the Hatun, which steals souls away from victims by playing an ethereal horn. The story is regarded as unsettling enough on its own, complete with a horrifying and haunting Twist Ending, but the episode goes further to create its unsettling atmosphere as gruesome visuals accompany the story, adding to the terror it wishes to instill on its audience.
- "Song of the Siren" has the Creepy Face Puppet return to tell a story about sirens who sing to lure men to their deaths, with unsettling and morbid descriptions of drownings, suicide, and murders. Once again this episode sets out to deliberately frighten its audience, and does so with the use of haunting visual aids that play with fears of the unknown and the open water.
- "NEW Ghost Story" tells the story of the "Grand-Other", a disturbing yarn about cursed land, misandry, murder and ghostly possession told via song. The character of Granny is especially disturbing, portrayed by a faceless woolen doll that Dixon gives a croaking, eerie voice to.
- Though "Nightcall (ft. The 'Gos')" is one of the Creepy Face Puppet's more comedic and mundane appearances, it still contains unsettling details, with the already creepy lyrics to Kavinsky's "Nightcall" made creepier by the voice modulator giving the puppet a echoing, otherworldly voice that compliments its nightmarish appearance.
- "Dabchick Has a Panic Attack" features a tired and uncharacteristically anxious Dabchick on a walk through a forest in France. However, his hyperactivity begins to get the better of him, causing him to perceive mundane objects and occurrences, such as other people in the forest or strange nature formations, as threats. The titular panic attack occurs, with Dabchick rapidly hyperventilating as he perceives the world spinning around him and the deafening sound of static drowning out all the other sounds. The sudden mood change compounded with the hectic visuals are enough to frighten most viewers, but especially ones with histories of anxiety or panic attacks where the terror is all too real.
- While the concept puppet that Barnaby Dixon showed off in his video "My most EXPRESSIVE puppet yet" is not as terrifying as the Creepy Face Puppet, many viewers still found it unsettling, and understandably so since it also used the real human mouth on a screen, this time complimented with beady black eyes, skeletal ribs, and large moose-like antlers. The feedback that the puppet was creepy-looking was so strong that Dixon scrapped the face screen and opted for a more bird-like puppet face with a beak, maintaining the shape and antlers while adding feathers. This puppet, the "Baliwick", now has an appearance that better matches its friendly, creative personality.
