"Squidward! You're cold.."
A SpingeBill Spooky Scary Halloween is a YouTube Poop created by Awful Fawful (otherwise known as SCAT/RAT). It's notable for telling a cohesive, yet extremely dark story and its superb, trippy editing. The premise centers around Squidward, who suffers a fatal car accident thanks to the carelessness of a drunken SpongeBob. He wakes up in his house, which is a bit off, and quickly realizes thanks to the help of The Flying Dutchman that he is indeed dead, which sends him into a state of denial. He then tries desperately to return to the land of the living, haunted by his past, but to no avail. The second half of the video involves Mr. Krabs telling SpongeBob a spooky Halloween story right before the party being held at the Krusty Krab.

This YTP provides examples of:
- Acid-Trip Dimension: Davy Jones' Locker is depicted as a nightmarish, trippy version of Squidward's reality.
- Adaptational Villainy:
- The Flying Dutchman was always basically meant to be Satan of the seas in the source material, but he was goofy, affable, and enough of a Butt-Monkey to make him fairly pleasant. He's even let several characters out of Davy Jones' Locker either out of the goodness of his heart or because they're just too annoying. Here, he doesn't bring Squidward back to life despite his pleas and simply laughs in his face.Let me tell ya, kid. Tough shit.
- Patrick knocks SpongeBob unconscious with a bat, cuts him up with a razor, and wears his skin to the Halloween party.

- And Now for Someone Completely Different: SpongeBob is the protagonist of the second half.
- The Cameo: Bubble Bass is shaking his ass at a table in the Krusty Krab when Krabs is about to tell his scary story.
- Can't Live with Them, Can't Live Without Them: Squidward happily responds to SpongeBob when he hears "him" calling his name, and follows the sound of his voice. When Squidward still finds himself trapped in Davy Jones' Locker, he frantically pleads to go homenote .
- Cerebus Retcon: The Poop specializes in taking clips from the show that were already dark and makes them even darker. Squidward’s “I wanna go home” becomes a downright tearjerker as we see he has every reason to want to escape hell. Even a clip from the infamous Night on Bald Mountain in which the spirits are slowly, weakly returning to their resting places once Walpurgis Night ends is made scarier, since Squidward opens his front door to see them on what’s apparently a regular day for them.
- "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: If SpongeBob wasn’t drinking and driving, Squidward wouldn’t have gone to hell.
- Dead All Along: Mr. Krabs is actually a ghost who died when he lured his homicidal dollar into the hotel he was staying at, killing it with a bomb.
- Disney Acid Sequence: Most of the first half wherein Squidward is sent through a horrifying trip through hell.
- Epic Fail: The alternate ending has SpongeBob attempt to make a grand entrance to the party as a Bedsheet Ghost, only for the rope to slip, causing him to fall to his death in front of everyone.
- Gainax Ending: Squidward makes it back to the land of the living, only for the Flying Dutchman to throw him inside of Fluttershy's ass.
- Genuine Human Hide: Patrick skins SpongeBob alive and wears it to the Halloween party. Everyone reacts appropriately.
- Halloween Episode: For Awful Fawful's channel. Could count as one for the YouTube Poop genre in general.
- Hero of Another Story: Mr. Krabs has braved attempts on his life by his hostile dollar for an unknown period of time, until he finally killed it with a bomb, at the cost of his own life.
- Jump Scare: A few, thanks to a hearty helping of Sensory Abuse.
- When Squidward lifts a tile in a void.

- Madness Mantra:
- I wanna go home, I wanna go home, I wanna go home.. I WANNA GO HOME I WANNA GO HOME I WANNA GO HOME
- Really 700 Years Old: Mr. Krabs is apparently so old that Bikini Bottom was literally built around him. He emphasizes this by prefacing his scary story with "Believe it or not, I was five years old".
- Sanity Slippage:
- Understandably, Squidward starts to lose his grip as he has no hope of escaping Davy Jones' Locker. He goes from denying his death, to calmly explaining to the Dutchman that he doesn't belong there, to screaming that he just wants to go home, looking extremely disheveled and haggard.
- The dollar Mr. Krabs' father gave him went crazy for reasons unknown and tried to kill him over 11 times.
- Sensory Abuse: You might want to turn your volume down a notch watching this.
- Taking You with Me: Mr. Krabs finally killed his dollar by blowing up the fancy hotel he stayed in with a bomb.
