All 6 Regular Show Halloween Episodes In Chronological Order

2 days ago 3

There were six Regular Show Halloween episodes, which are known collectively as "Terror Tales of the Park." Regular Show introduced the annual 30-minute specials in season 3 and has continued the tradition through its eighth and final season. Each "Terror Tales of the Park" episode is an anthology of spooky stories narrated by the main characters. It is not considered Regular Show canon, which means characters could die, and it wouldn't affect the show's regular episodes.

With the concept, Regular Show is responsible for some of Cartoon Network's creepiest episodes. While there are many brilliant episodes of Regular Show, their Halloween specials are among the most memorable. Regular Show creator James Garland Quintel was reportedly inspired by The Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horrors" Halloween episodes, so they replicated a similar format for Regular Show's "Terror Tales of the Park."

The first Regular Show Halloween special was season 3, episode 4, "Terror Tales of the Park." It depicted Mordecai, Rigby, and their fellow groundskeepers sharing scary stories. The first is "Creepy Doll," a loose parody of Child's Play, wherein the most likable Regular Show character, Pops, rediscovers his favorite childhood doll — which promptly comes to life and attacks him.

The second story is "Death Metal Crash Pit," which follows Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost battling the spirits of a deceased hair-metal, whose ghosts are haunting an RV. The third and final story, "In the House," depicts Mordecai out on Halloween, dressed as a father with five fake children and hoping to scam a large amount of candy. En route, he encounters Rigby, and the pair eventually earn the ire of a vengeful wizard who transforms Rigby into a house.

The third Regular Show Halloween special, season 5, episode 8, "Terror Tales of the Park 3," begins with the primary characters at a Halloween party. They all wager that they can relay the scariest story, each betting their Halloween candy. Rigby relates the first tale, "Killer Bed." In the story, Rigby purchases a bed, only to discover that the bed was previously a terrifying killer. The second story, "Jacked-Up Jack-o-Lantern," is told by Muscle Man.

It details Mordecai, Rigby, Muscle Man, and Hi-Five Ghost pumpkin smashing and accidentally destroying the head of a particularly terrifying scarecrow's wife. The final story from Regular Show's "Terror Tales of the Park 3" is told by Benson and is titled, "The Previous Owner." Benson's tale details the house being haunted by a 200-year-old poltergeist.

Ultimately Benson is crowned the winner of the Halloween scary story contest, which is fitting as "The Previous Owner" is widely considered the best story from "Terror Tales of the Park."

In Regular Show season 4, episode 6 "Terror Tales of the Park 4," the gang decides to visit Muscle Man's mother on Halloween and share more terrifying tales during their journey. Pop volunteers the first, titled "The Hole." During Pop's tale, he has been selected to be sacrificed by being thrown into a chasm, reminiscent of Shirley Jackson's dystopian novel The Lottery. The second story is told by Benson. "Unfinished Business" depicts Mordecai and Rigby who, having died, are haunting their house and refusing to leave.

The third story is regaled by Rigby and is called "Scary Movie Night." It features Mordecai, Rigby, Eileen, and CJ getting sucked into a horror film and having to struggle to survive. Eventually, the gang all arrive at Muscle Man's mother's trailer, with a trademark final twist revealing that the premise was a set-up to prank the characters.

The fifth Halloween special is considered one of Regular Show's finest. Season 7, episode 9, "Terror Tales of the Park 5," uses a slightly different framing story than previous installments. It features the gang at the park's annual Halloween Party, for which Benson has hired a wish-making machine, named Racki the Wishmaker. Upon making a wish, characters are subject to visions. The first is Benson's, told in the segment "Mr. Boss Man," during which he purchases a puppet to motivate Mordecai and Rigby, which soon comes to life.

Pop's wish, depicted in the segment titled "Werepops," involves a werewolf on trial, with the park gang is serving jury duty. Hi-Five Ghost makes the third wish, instigating a tale called "Going Up," which concerns him becoming trapped inside an elevator while visiting Celia. "Terror Tales of the Park 5" is the only Regular Show Halloween special to feature a fourth story. Rigby's wish, "Chocolatude," sees Mordecai and Rigby trick or treating and encountering a witch with devilish chocolate.

Regular Show dramatically changed its narrative in season 8, transporting the entire show into outer space. Accordingly, season 8, episode 19, "Terror Tales of the Park 6" has a science-fiction slant to the narratives. Each story is told during the annual Halloween party. Skips tells the first story, "Fear Planet," which features Mordecai, Rigby, Pop, and Benson visiting a planet that brings their greatest fears to life. The second story, "King Size Candy Bars," is recounted by Eileen. During this tale, the gang is trick-or-treating on the Space Tree Station, where they encounter a house inhabited by vampires.

The final tale is narrated by Rigby. "Alien Roommate" is a parody of the Alien franchise and features an alien named Shannon, who moves in with the gang. The framing story concludes with the gang flying into a black hole and being transformed into spaghetti. This final "Terror Tales of the Park" special is unique for its science fiction tone but still proffers a final spooky delight by the end that the Regular Show Halloween episodes became renowned for.

Halloween Specials Are Perfect For Regular Show

If any animated shows are perfect for Halloween specials, it is the ones that air on Cartoon Network. Shows like Adventure Time and Regular Show have enough creepy episodes on a regular basis to make the Halloween episodes fit right in. The show is bizarre enough to forget that the main storyline is just following two friends who work for the park department and the adventures they have along the way. However, things they encounter push it to the extreme.

The series finale featured a battle between Pops and Anti-Pops for the fate of the universe

The creepiest Regular Show episodes feature surreal moments that contain everything from monsters to serial killers to alien invasions, all while Mordecai and Rigby just try to get their work done and get through each day alive. The fact that the series finale featured a battle between Pops and Anti-Pops for the fate of the universe explains everything someone needs to know about the show's horrific and frightening moments.

The first season has Mordecai and Rigby have to rid their house of punk rock unicorns who come in and cause all sorts of havoc. The third season saw Skips accidentally kill Rigby and set out a way to resurrect him. Just about anything Muscle Man is involved in provides moments of horror and scares in different forms. The Regular Show Halloween episodes just add the holiday theme to the weirdness that the hit Cartoon Network series delivered regularly.
