** At one point during "Murray's Monster", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfqclBZP6Zw&t=757s a meal is interrupted]] by a monster abruptly appearing after the mention of a food item, and absconding off with a person while the other party does not care. Or, in other words, this scene was one mention of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H9oQMrAfRU egg salad]]" away from being the prequel to ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''.

** In general the series is pretty hit or miss when it comes to the effectiveness of the effects. Some episodes have decent costumes and puppets for the era, while many others exaggerate and stylize the effects (sometimes to the point of StylisticSuck, such as the episodes worked on by Vincent J. Guastini and Michael Burnett, and the monster in "Sleeping Dragon" by The Chiodo Bros.), and other episodes can look genuinely terrible (such as the titular finger from "The Moving Finger" being an obvious animatronic prop).

** The start of "The Offering" sees an abrupt acknowledgement of [[Film/TheRoom a mother having cancer, despite there being no build up to it]]. But unlike that film, the cancer ''is'' a prominent plot point.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: "Mannikins of Horror" sees Dr. Starr getting stabbed [[EyeScream in the eye]] by one of Dr. Collins' clay figures. It is ''very apparent'' that they had to use green-screening to get the intended shot, as the tip of blade used to stab him ''disappears'' as it reaches his cornea.

** The setup of "The Waiting Game" is on its own [[AdultFear unsettling]]: MutuallyAssuredDestruction abruptly breaks down, resulting in [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt nuclear Armageddon, with very little known survivors]]. And ''then'' you get to the twist: Because the nuclear winter is causing an eternal night, ''vampires are now overrunning the planet''.
