"Pay up, Norman"
  • "The Day Rico Became Smart": Professor Kindly is a Serial Killer who uses what looks like a mixture of a shop vac and a circular saw to kill his victims by extracting their brains while they are still fully conscious and aware. He preserves the brains in jars, of which he's shown to have about a dozen. In the end, the tables are turned and he's murdered by having his own brain cut out, which we see in silhouette as he flails and screams.
  • "Swarm Enough For Ya?": The vampire mosquitoes go from town to town, wiping out all of their inhabitants. The Half-Human Hybrid who posed as an exterminator is swarmed and Eaten Alive by frogs. The Mosquito Queen bursts into flames and melts after going outside in direct sunlight.
  • "Ghoooul!!": Coach Konkout becomes the new coach of a professional soccer team, but tries to quit in disgust over how disturbingly violent it is on the field. The players declare that his contract stipulates that he signed on for all eternity as they rot and decay and laugh madly and are revealed to be revenants who wouldn't let death stop their winning streak.
  • "The Novelty Kid":
    • The new kid was an obnoxious prankster who one day up and disappeared (it's implied that Ace Novelties got to him). One of the theories about what happened to him is that he became trapped inside his own locker, and an Imagine Spot shows him screaming for help as the banging on his locker door becomes weaker and weaker.
    • Norman becomes so indebted to the Ace Novelty Company that Ace himself (a shrunken head with unblinking yellow eyes and a disembodied voice) begins terrorizing him, turning all of the products that Norman bought against him before abducting him. The final shot of the episode is of an old, discarded comic book; one of the ads in it is for a mangled-looking "Zombie Slave Boy" that bears a striking resemblance to Norman.
  • "Crushed By an Angel": Hitch nearly falls into the sewer water, and as he complains about his soaked sneaker the camera pans down to show a submerged car and corpse.
  • "How Now Meowing Cow": The trio uncover a Derelict Graveyard full of trashed school buses whose passengers were all devoured by Farmer Dell's genetic experiments.
  • "Pet Shop Of No Return":
    • Emil abuses and neglects his pets to the extent that his backyard has become a miniature Creepy Cemetery full of dead animals, with popsicle sticks as tombstones. One night, the trio notice that someone or something has been digging up all of the bodies.
    • When Emil goes to bed, the eyes of his mysterious new pets begin glowing red and he hears and glimpses them moving around outside of their cages, which they appear back in when he turns the lights on. After being plagued by nightmares about undead animals, Emil tries to return the new pets, and discovers that the man who sold them to him is the reincarnation of his first pet, who traps Emil forever in the form of a rat.
    Mr. Pong: Don't you remember me, Emil? (Pulls out a popsicle stick that reads "Ping Pong") Mr. Pong, first name Ping?
  • "Something Fishy In Lake Gimmee-Gimmee-Itchee-Owee": Mountain Marge lures people to her inn so that 'Ol Whopper, the ancient giant leech that lives in the adjacent lake, can feed on them. As the Movilles and the Wallys head home, 'Ol Whopper is shown to not be the only leech in the lake.
    Mountain Marge: Do not worry about the fishermen that got away, my little ones. There are many more where they came from. Soon, you will all grow big and strong.
  • "Don't touch that Dial": W2 is a future version of Billy Boon who went back in time to prevent monstrous aliens (we hear their screeches, and see their shadows and tentacles) from ravaging the Earth and from ripping Mo's head off in front of him.
  • "Sold Your Soul For... What?": Matilda Patella sold her soul to Satan to gain skills at playing Polka, her father's favorite music, so that she could become her father's favorite child, leaving her brother Rodney to be The Unfavorite. And when Old Scratch comes to collect, she tries to condemn Rodney to Hell in her place. Unfortunately for her, Satan wasn't fooled.
  • "Just My Luck": The episode opens with the narrator being ripped to shreds and eaten by wolves, which we see silhouetted by candlelight.
  • "A Hitch In Time":
    • Hitch goes back in time to his mother's womb, but he brought Gizzard with him, so a fetus version of Gizzard is shown attacking a fetus version of Hitch.
    • The time travel watch sends Hitch back to prehistory, and then breaks. Hitch proceeds to spend untold decades alone before being found by the Time Keeper, who is thankfully able to restore Hitch's youth and sanity and wipe his memories.
  • "Scarin' O' The Green":
    • The pit that lead to the enchanted valley had punji sticks at the bottom, and we catch a glimpse of a few corpses impaled on them.
    • Earl McGee uses his magic to slowly transform the trio into gnarled trees. While the three manage to escape from McGee's valley, Flannery O'Leary and McGee himself aren't so lucky. As Mo wonders what became of them, the two are shown to have been transformed into withered trees, still locked in combat over McGee's gold.
