Basically a large white bean sitting atop a button down shirt and dress pants, emulating the almost normal nature of internet horror icon, Slenderman. Any attempt it had at being unsettling is immediately derailed by Homestar making a tour exhibit out of it.

* PokeThePoodle: Strong Bad's attempt at subtle horror is a little too subtle. His "haunted house" is just a crappy-but-harmless hotel, his "SpookyPainting" is just a painting of someone's obnoxious dad, and his "scary monster" is a giant lima bean taped to some kid's clothes.

His "haunted house" is just a crappy-but-harmless hotel, his "SpookyPainting" is just a painting of someone's obnoxious dad, and his "scary monster" is a giant lima bean taped to some kid's clothes.

Homestar's lame haunted house inspires Strong Bad to make his own lame haunted house.

----
!!Tropes:
*BodyHorror: Marzipan is briefly shown with Homestar and Strong Sad's severed legs and Strong Mad's severed arm sewn to her body.
*ContinuityNod:
** The title of this cartoon is a nod to the earlier Halloween cartoon [[Recap/HomestarRunnerTheHouseThatGaveSuckyTreats The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
** Coach Z had previously thought about dressing as Andre 3000 for Halloween in [[Recap/HomestarRunnerHalloweenFairstival Halloween Fair-stival]].
**The Horrible Painting from [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE133Bottom10 bottom 10]] and [[Recap/HomestarRunnerJibblies2 Jibblies 2]] makes an appearance in the first room of St. Cadaverstump's.
** Homestar confuses Marizpan's Captain EO costume for her Prince costume from [[Recap/HomestarRunnerJibblies2 Jibblies 2]].
* The "Shut Up!" Lady makes another appearance.
*FantasyTwist:
** First, Strong Bad's attempt to trick Strong Sad into sticking his hand into a dirty toilet is foiled when Strong Sad starts over-thinking the RoomEscapeGame he's in.
** Then, Homestar comes in acting like a museum tour guide and spoiling the mood of the Large Bean exhibit.
*FauxHorrific: This cartoon is almost a love-letter to this trope:
** Homestar's "haunted house" includes "scary shoes" and an incomplete jigsaw puzzle Marzipan was originally going to donate to Goodwill, which seems to terrify the Cheat.
** Strong Bad's haunted house includes a black-light Horrible Painting of Someone's Dad (who tries to make himself look like a hard-core cyclist), a sterile white room with an overwhelming stench, a run-down two-star bed-and-breakfast, and "the new face of terror, Large Bean!"
*LongList: The stench room apparently smells like "Strong Mad Oyster-Smoothie-Breath-Caked-Armpit Latte".
*MonsterClown: Strong Bad imagines a scary version of the Tragic Clown Dog.
*ParodyCommercial: An Easter egg features a commercial for the "Strong Mad Oyster-Smoothie-Breath-Caked-Armpit Latte", from the makers of [[Recap/HomestarRunnerADeathDefyingDecemberween Hot Jones]] and [[Recap/HomestarRunnerADecemberweenMackerel Hot Pooey]].
-->'''Announcer:''' Oh, sweet Jennifer, there's no coming back from this one.
*RoomEscapeGame: Strong Bad has one of these set up at St. Cadaverstump's. It's really an attempt to [[ToiletHumor get Strong Sad to root around in a toilet full of poop]].
*ShoutOut:
** Coach Z's constantly-changing costume is a reference to the outfits worn by Andre 3000 in the music videos for ''The Love Below''
*SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Strong Bad's hypothetical haunted house is "St. Cadaverstump's ''Totally-Not-Just-An-Old-Furniture-Warehouse'' Morgue-tuary".
*TakeThat: Strong Bad pokes fun at the ''Film/ParanormalActivity'' series by imagining the Sad Kids as "bloody-eyed found-footage children"
