The Patrick Star Show: Scary Tales
This is a 24-minute Halloween episode of The Patrick Star Show (Season 6, Episode 6), not a standalone movie, that aired on Nickelodeon on October 12, 2026 — exactly the fall 2026 special you're looking for. Hans narrates the Star family's absurdist, Bikini Bottom-flavored retellings of classic fairy tales including Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, and Little Miss Muffet, with spooky character names like Dr. Plankenstein, SpongeMonster, and Bed Wolf all played for laughs rather than genuine chills.
Comfortable for most kids 5 and up who already enjoy The Patrick Star Show; very sensitive younger viewers (3–4) may want a grown-up nearby for the monster imagery, but the tone is firmly comedic throughout.
If you’d rather skip
Hans introduces the haunted fairy tales on a Halloween night set; the framing is intentionally spooky in atmosphere but immediately undercut by the show's comedic style.
A Bikini Bottom spin on the Big Bad Wolf (here called Bed Wolf) pursues the story's characters; played for laughs but involves a predator-chase premise drawn from the source tale.
The Bed Wolf character appears in monster form; design is cartoonish and comedic rather than menacing.
