Meanwhile, Eustace starts seeing the chimney pipe as a snake, rushes towards it and goes straight down to the stove where he comes out covered in soot and scaring everyone: causing Courage to hide behind Muriel's back (hardly unseen), Dr. Muriel needs her husband to attend his party, but Eustace is still on the roof.

This curse causes Eustace to have a floating storm cloud with unending rain pouring down on him at all times, but the mean farmer does not believe in any curses.Ĭourage must do something to stop the curse, but Eustace continues to be extremely rude and cruel to people, such as: angrily refusing to help Courage and his wife, Muriel, set up his own birthday party and still ignoring his curse in front of her refusing to help to an old lady cross the street not delivering a letter to Floyd's fiancée, due to him being attacked by a tentacled monster and being totally disrespectful towards another elderly woman and a long-haired man, whose attempts to see a movie at a theater are unresponsively blocked by Eustace's rain cloud, which gets the manager to kick Eustace out of the theater. With her mystical saxophone, Shirley places a curse on Eustace as his punishment for being a jerk.

Shirley becomes very upset at Eustace's bad attitude of laughing at her afterwards. The pie and tea are splattered in her face, and Courage's golden tooth and the money in Muriel's bag are scattered everywhere. With those words, he slams the door in Shirley's face, and everything that Shirley has been given is destroyed and ruined.

Shirley then asks Eustace what he has to give her, to which he replies "THE BOOT!". Muriel gives Shirley a bag of silver coins and money, a huge pie, and a board with tea and sugar cubes. These are some of the creepiest Courage the Cowardly Dog episodes, so go ahead and remind yourself of all the terrifying "things he did for love." 1.While Muriel and Courage are getting ready for Eustace's birthday party (which is the last thing he wants, as he could care less about his own birthday), Shirley approaches the Bagge farmhouse and asks if they have anything to help rid her of poverty. While every episode of this show was essentially the perfect formula for a nightmare, there were a few that stood out among the rest (and may or may not continue to haunt me to this day). If it wasn't the twisted storyline about a dog forced to protect his beloved owner and her cranky husband from the paranormal beings that surround them, it was the varied animation styles, creepy music, and surreal in-depth characters that haunted me in a way my six-year-old brain could barely grasp. Still, it continues to be one of my favorite cartoons. I was a huge scaredy cat as a kid and had no tolerance for anything even remotely spooky, so I'm not really sure how I managed to watch every episode of this as a kid. Despite being a children's show, there were definitely some creepy Courage the Cowardly Dog episodes that our parents should not have let us watch at such a young age. It was the definition of finding something so strange you just want to look away from it, but you can't. Courage the Cowardly Dog was always a show that gave me nightmares, but it also captivated my young mind in a way I couldn't describe.

There's something about being scared as a kid that's kind of entrancing.
