The Flying Dutchman stealing the souls of SpongeBob's friends scene is a semi-infamous scene in the LEGENDARY-famous episode, The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom.
Why This Scene Is So Scary![]
It is Halloween! And The Flying Dutchman is having a fun time scaring people! But his fun is put to a halt when he hears SpongeBob laughing. He goes down and tries to scare the little yellow guy. However, SpongeBob tells the ghoulish ghost that he learned from Patrick a simple trick that helped him overcome his fear of the holiday: it is the theory, scary equals funny. And he had been using it as a shortcut to not be scared of things that happen on Halloween. This angered the Flying Dutchman so much. So, he decides to scare SpongeBob with a haunted house attraction of his own in his ship. But when it didn't work, the ghost took drastic measures by stealing the souls of Squidward, Sandy, Mr. Krabs, Gary, and Plankton. He even took the soul of Patrick while SpongeBob was riding along with him just to scare the little guy even more. How frightening can this scene get?!
Redeemable qualities[]
- The "Ahhh!" song was pretty catchy.
- SpongeBob saves his friends and his beloved pet from the Flying Dutchman's evil grasp by scaring him back inside his brain.
