Top 10 Scariest Baby Einstein Episodes
Baby Einstein - more like scary Einstein. This show can be as weird and unsettling as the pink elephants scene from Dumbo.So, I have made a top 10 list. May I present to you the top 10 scariest Baby Einstein episodes.
Dude, none frightened me long ago except for the wooden guy from The Vinci and the Harmony doll from Einstein. That Carlos the Dancing Cactus never frightened me.
By the way, I'm looking for a Carlos the Dancing Cactus with either an orange or yellow hat. I'll bring batteries in case I find one before the end of the year.
The creepy parts were the beginning where there were animatronic dancing cacti. It probably scares a lot of people.
So, moving on. After the opening titles, we join Vincent where he is stalking you. He has paint all over himself, which makes him look possessed.
Ok, this is mostly where that reindeer and gingerbread-making puppet show pops up (no pun intended).
It begins with an innocent-looking white reindeer having a little gingerbread on the table. Then, he gets red icing for some simple icing on the gingerbread man. The white reindeer returns yet again, but this time with red icing all over its mouth. It has a bottle of green sprinkles for the gingerbread man. Then, for a minute, the deer pops up again with white powder, red icing, and sprinkles. It ends up coughing up the white powder on the gingerbread man.
Now you'll see why people consider this a pop-up because it makes you crap your pants. The cone puppet penguin is unnerving.
Am I the only person here who was never scared by the chickens? Seriously, they're not scary. They're unsettling if you're all alone and one of them is with you in the room, but they aren't scary.
As for Zylon the Dragon, sure, he was scary, but I didn't start crying or crap myself due to being startled. As for those clowns, God, those scared me when I first saw them (and the next 12 times after). But then there's that sunflower. Good God! It looks like a sunflower from Plants vs. Zombies went to a plastic surgery place and asked the doctor to make it look as creepy as possible.
Besides the Giraffe Cone Puppet and the Blue Monkey, another scary thing was the tiger music video because it plays a scary classical song, "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Grieg.
Ok, two things.
1. Why isn't this number one? It has the creepiest scene I have ever seen.
2. I don't hate World Animals at all. I think it's a good video to show kids about animals and it includes one of the best songs in Baby Einstein history, second place behind I Know My Shapes in Baby Newton. It's just the giraffe cone puppet scene that really ruins it for me. And it still scares me! But everything else is fine. No hate to World Animals.
I'm kinda surprised this isn't higher on the list, because man, Bard scared the crap out of me when I was little.
Actually, I had a weird love/hate feeling about it, because while I loved the Bard puppet himself (he was my favorite next to Vincent), that one part always spooked my 3-year-old self. I think it was the black, featureless void of a background that did it, haha.
Uh, how is this not up higher?! This episode is creepy!
Bard gave me nightmares up until 4th grade. I always got scared by that falling caterpillar and the pecking rooster. Oh, no, I hope that dies. The dolls weren't that bad, but I haven't seen the Creepypasta, but I bet that it's bad.
This one is one of my favorites, but Bard's pop-up wasn't that scary. Although the Bard and sunflower scene (from 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 releases only) was kind of scary because when Bard looks at you, he looks possessed. But it's one of my favorite episodes and I don't have it.
Baby Shakespeare is one of my favorites, but it's creepy. I used to be scared of the red gear with the spinning eyes, the sparkling after the leaf poem, the puppet show with Jane in the snow, and the part with the gorilla and cymbal monkey.
What used to scare me was the transportation scene because Beethoven's Turkish March is a really creepy song. But now it is the stupid clown camera with the freaky music before every poem. Great episode, but creepy.
Ok, so I have come forward to say thank God whenever I felt the need to watch "Language Nursery" (whether high quality or not), I immediately said, "Forget this, it is too eerily quiet," and then moved on to the next episode.
Why have I never watched the entire thing? Because people here have complained about it being too quiet, as if a stalker or serial killer made it. I agree, it's way too eerily quiet for a child audience looking to learn English, Spanish, German, and Japanese. Also, Raggedy Ann and other dolls, while ordinary dolls, are the bane of our existence.
THIS IS A SUPER, ULTRA, MEGA, HYPER SCARY EPISODE.
In the beginning, there is this scary goldfish pop-up. It was so scary that my dad had to fast forward the pop-up. It even gave me nightmares. I still rarely have them. There are some other scary pop-ups. Like, I think there was a submarine pop-up. After the credits, there was a crab pop-up. I am never going to watch this episode again. But thank goodness in Neptune's Oceans, they cut out the scary pop-ups and replaced them with bubbles.
This is primarily because of this episode's shrimp, goldfish, and crab pop-ups. The crab at the end is pretty cute, but the fish always jumpscares or *AHEM* makes you jump out of your seat when you least expect it.
Allow me to explain. (Insert the man hastily explaining things on a whiteboard.) The fact that the official channel cuts it out is because it's unnecessary and scary. But the shrimp comes out of nowhere in the submarine part.
I'd say the scariest puppet show in this video is the nose one (the elephant, yellow flower, pepper, and salt), due to the sneeze sound effect.
Michael did NOT like the feet in this thing, so if you're like Michael, who does not like feet shown on camera, then do not watch this.
The second drawing music was the creepy triangle instrument along with the vibraphone, acoustic guitar, and bassoon. Nightmares!
The plot is just odd in this one. It's just these zebras painting themselves in season colors. It's pointless!
This video was fine, except for the post-credits puppet show, due to the sneeze sound effect.
Those zebras kind of look possessed.
The Newcomers
Scariest one by far! The pop-ups are so creepy. I don't find the saxophone part creepy, but I understand why people find it scary. The part where all the baby photos show up is kinda weird.
I found the owls kind of creepy, but not that much. But the scariest part for me was the puppets. They creeped me out so much! In fact, I used to have constant nightmares about them busting into my room and kidnapping me! In fact, the first time I had one of those dreams, I started crying for my parents! It's the best one, but also the creepiest.
I woke up once hearing a cock-a-doodle-doo sound. I couldn't go back to sleep.
This one creeped me out when I was little because of the kangaroo puppets. They didn't look anything like the regular ones. They used to creep me out, but now they don't.
The mama kangaroo looks like a blend of Toy Chica and Toy Bonnie. She looks like a FNAF animatronic because of the painted blush and stuff.
The kangaroos were kind of creepy. Also, Beethoven, the creepy giraffe puppet, is seen in this one.
The flying cow doesn't scare me much. When I was little, I knew it was a puppet on strings. I was only afraid of the flipping frog, and the walking duck gave me a couple of nightmares.
But I watched the VHS version of Neighborhood Animals on YouTube and it didn't scare me much. (The walking duck toy was later replaced with a stop-motion video of a plush duck.) The flipping frog toy still does scare me though. I was mostly afraid of the BOING! noise. It creeped me out a lot. I am still afraid of it today.
Here's my list of nightmares in the cursed Neighborhood Animals:
Flying magenta cow
Food fight
Mousetrap
Birds music video (Snow Maiden Suite 2. Dance of the Oiseaux, Birds)
Wooden people on wooden flying Canada geese
Rabbits on screen
Mechanical hog
Frog music video (Sonata in E Major K380, Scarlatti)
Flipping frog (even the spring noise)
Otter music video (Double Trumpet Concerto, Vivaldi)
Xylophone duck
Mouse music video (one of the contradances by Beethoven)
Duck music video (Canon in D, Pachelbel)
Walking duck with a blue shirt (replaced by a stop-motion duck creepier than the chickens in Baby Bach and the St. Bernard and the rooster in Baby Mozart)
And the duck and frog puppet show (creepy)
The otter and the duck having fun.
I'm not scared of this one, but the scene with the cat and the telephone is sad because the cat gets hurt at the end.
The kitty is adorable! I love all her parts! But the mice are scary. I hate the time they turned into tornados.

I don't find this scary. You guys have some odd fears of mice tornados.
The sun coming up at the beginning gave me nightmares. I am not scared of this movie now.
When will Bard learn to stop scaring babies?!
I know this is an understatement, but my God, does the new Pavlo design look creepy or what?
That episode gave me nightmares. It has full horror and terror. I would not watch that episode ever again in my life. No way, José.
This one is scary. There's this dancing chick puppet (its eyes look possessed) and the sheep in the box returns. Both of those toys were seen in Baby MacDonald.
This one is creepy. During the part when the animals stick their tongues out, it makes Bard look like a genius. Also, the giraffe's covered spots make it look like it has grouchy eyebrows.
Lizzy (the tiger puppet) is actually pretty cute, but a little creepy at the same time. Nothing really scares me in this episode, except for the train. It's so annoying!
There's a video on YouTube called "Flower Murder" where a young baby is watching this on her computer. When the horse and flower scene comes on, and the horse eats the flower, the baby has a HUGE meltdown! Her parents can't seem to calm her down.
Anyway, the creepy scenes are the flip-flop mouthed people. They look creepy and possessed!
