Trivia
There are several references to Disney productions in this episode. The demonic trees Mugman sees are like the ones Snow White encounters in the forest. Also like the ones depicted in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow when Ichabod is returning home from the party. The skeletons dancing is a reference to the classic short The Skeleton Dance from 1929.

absolutely awful.

Probably the worst episode of any show i've ever watched, it wasn't funny at all, the ghosts were annoying and dumb, mug man was irritating and screaming the entire time. I would 100% recommend skipping this monstrosity.
