Graveyard Shift (SpongeBob SquarePants)

The Graveyard Shift is the first segment of the 16th episode of Season 2 of SpongeBob SquarePants and is 36a overall.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It's a funny episode with gags such as "Oh boy! 3 AM!" and SpongeBob eating his hands like popcorn.
 * 2) Squidward's story is genuinely scary.
 * 3) The scene where someone who looks like the Hash-Slinging Slasher seems to turn off the lights is a great way to end the episode, especially Nosferatu actually turning off the lights.
 * 4) It's a deliciously dark episode overall with some funny jokes to tone down its creepiness.
 * 5) The at night scenes. Do we need to say more?

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The episode can be nightmare fuel and frightening for young viewers.
 * 2) The concept was not that good for 2 reasons.
 * 3) *Almost the entirety of the episode takes place in the Krusty Krab, because of the Night Shift, leading to less variety.
 * 4) * It's about Squidward just telling a story. It's no more complicated than that. Fortunately, it was saved by good gags and a hilarious ending.
 * 5) Mr. Krabs seems to be a bit unlikeable here. This is the first time he made his employees work for 24 hours, and that would repeat in Fear of a Krabby Patty, a later episode.

Trivia
Despite being the episode produced after The Secret Box and Band Geeks along with Krusty Love, it was released almost a year after those episodes.
