1	* "Bumblelion and the Terrified Forest" is full of it, which is fitting because of the episode's theme as a ''horror movie pastiche''.
2	** Butterbear being kidnapped by dingbats and spirited away to the castle of the "vampire witch of the Terrified Forest", which itself is a creepy fate, given that both Bumblelion and Hoppopotamus are visibly terrified of the place.
3	** The dingbats themselves; horrible humanoid wolf-like creatures with bat-like wings and exaggerated, vampire-like fangs. Despite being characterized as bungling goofs, they are shown to have a distinct sadistic streak, such as when they sabotage a bridge over a ravine that almost kills Hoppo when it gives way under her and they are shown snickering in anticipation.
4	** The first thing that Bumblelion and Hoppo see when they enter the Terrified Forest is a sign pointing the way to the vampire witch's castle, with some creepy "faced trees" in the background. When Bumblelion tries to boast that he's not scared, those trees come to life, speaking in a groaning voice that sounds like a chorus of damned souls. The camera zooms in close on their horrible faces - [[NightmareFace gaping, twisted mouths paired with deep, skull-like eyes]] - as they warn the Wuzzles to turn back before starting up a chorus of moans that encourages the two Wuzzles to beat feet.
5	** After they get past the aforementioned sabotaged bridge, Bumblelion and Hoppo find themselves attacked by a swarm of starving piranhakeets -- imagine cartoon piranhas that can chase after you by flying out of the water. The fact they chirp like parakeets does ''not'' diminish how genuinely creepy they are.
6	** Just getting into the vampire witch's castle requires getting past a moat full of ferocious crocodile-boar monsters.
7	** The sequence when Bumblelion and Hoppo are exploring the vampire witch's castle, separated from each other and trying to stealthily explore the creepy place (complete with portraits whose eyes move to follow them) whilst avoiding the attention of the monstrous gorrantula that's stalking them. It's especially tense because Transylvia, the vampire witch who used to reside there, had explicitly mentioned that the last six people she'd sent to the castle to retrieve the butterberries she needs to defeat the gorrantula had never made it back alive.
