Why This Scene Makes Your Skin Crawl[]
When Squidward drove the Flying Dutchman crazy with his constant whining and complaining, he was thrown into the dimensional rift called the Fly of Despair as punishment. And you wouldn't believe the horrors that await inside it! As Squidward falls right through it, he encounters creepy monsters, demons, goblins, dragons, ghosts, and ghouls! And one-by-one, they scare the poor cephalopod out of his wits! Also, at the end of the Fly of Despair, it shows spaghetti and meatballs which is completely stupid to even be a part of the rift.
