Trivia

• Version 1 and Version 2 of "House of Horror" are both played in The Loud House.
  • Clearly, only the fourth part of Version 1's "House of Horror" was played in "Jeers for Fears."

• Currently, none of the episodes in SpongeBob SquarePants use all five parts of "House of Horror."
  • Despite this, "Graveyard Shift", "Sanctuary!", and "A Cabin in the Kelp" are the only known episodes to use four out of the five parts of the first version.
• There is only one instance where two episodes that both have "House of Horror" at the end of both episodes also happen to be sister episodes. They are "Krabby Patty Creature Feature" and "Teacher's Pests."
• In "Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob," both Version 1 and Version 2 were both played.
• Part 4 can be used as a beginning for Part 5 in Version 1’s “House of Horror.” They are “I Was a Teenage Gary,” “Valentine's Day,” and “A Cabin in the Kelp.”
  • Surprisingly, Part 5 is mostly played in all the episodes and seasons in SpongeBob SquarePants.
