This week, the Time Pals bring their flashlights and emotional support wine as they dig up the creepiest, weirdest, and most nightmare-inducing moments from the kids' shows we grew up with.

Too scared to face it alone, hosts Mike Underscore and Jon Powell enlist their friends Angie and Becca from the Black Curtain Club Podcast to hold their hands as they explore scenes like Invader Zim tasting his own flesh baloney, Phantom 2040 introducing a family annihilator, Punky Brewster getting trapped in a horror movie, and many more surprisingly cursed Saturday morning cartoons.
