    What's under the Sink might cause for some Terror

    Okay props for making a spunge scary, I enjoy the elements of bad things happen and the Spunge gets stronger, or the Spunge gets Weaker with some happiness. The episode hinges on the fears of what might be in the lower part of the house, or what might lurk in a new house.

    Killer the dog then disappears, and even weirder and stranger things play out, thus the Sponge gets even stronger and physically more able to pull of some crazy stunts that what make you go what the hell? But the evil happenings are a fun change and offers an interesting insight that's refreshing in the Horror genre.

    The Sponge and the Evil Potato have something to say, and they are out with some fear and anger, to terrorise kids for a whole new generation. Be careful, as theirs always something lurking around.

    Killer returning was also a genuinely good surprise and made the Episodes strange happenings more worthwhile so I'd give it a solid score for that reasoning. New house, new Rules hey? Am I right.

    I'd give it a 7.65 Because the episode is just a bundle of fun and energetic charm surpasses low expectations.
