History Recap / MickeyMouseS4E9TheScariestStoryEver

* DownerEnding: Mickey's third story involving the witch who bakes pies of naughty kids ends with Huey (just barely) failing to escape the witches clutches and baked into a pie like his brothers and friends. But on the bright side, this ending does seal the deal with scaring the living hell out of the boys.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In Mickey's third story the kids act like drug addicts going through withdrawal after eating the pie, tweaking out and [[{{Squick}} trying to lick the last remaining crumbs of themselves, each other and the floor]]

* GoneHorriblyRight: Mickey does end up succeeding in telling an actual scary story to his and Donald's nephews--however, the story turns out to be so scary that it not only scares the nephews, but also Donald, Goofy and even Mickey himself. The eight spend the rest of the night hiding under the covers.

This short marks Russi Taylor's final performance of Huey, Dewey, and Louie before her passing in the Summer of 2019.
