    I remember this episode from when I was younger. Jesus, it scared me so much, I refused to watch it!

    The emo kid Ethan's parents and the bus driver totally freaked me out what with that blue spit coming out of their mouths, that was fricking disgusting!!!!

    I watched the video on Youtube (it's the only way I can watch old Nickelodeon shows here in the US and I'm so happy I found the site) and I'm not that scared anymore. I'm 15 and the show is rated TV-Y7. I really wish they could continue airing the old shows on Nick because the shows today (with the exception of Drake and Josh) totally suck!!moreless

    This episode used to scare me the most out of everything and i had bought the series on ebay and watched this one and laughing in the dark. I was kinda scared of clowns before but now im almost terrified although the fake blue spit the parents have is kinda cheesey but what can i say gotta love the classics!

    This is a cool episode but it is kind of funny. When the Ghastly Grinner gets people they laugh like bumbling idiots and blue slim oozes from there mouths. This episode is more like comic relief from all of the other scary stories. It's still one of my favorite episodes though.
