Killer the dog vanishes in It Came from Beneath the Kitchen Sink but he returns and he's okay.
A lot of neglectful parents dismissing their children’s pleas for help. There’s a lot of “Monsters aren’t real” talk, which in a series about monsters, could be considered gaslighting.
A lot of the kids are neglected by their parents, forcing them to deal with the threats themselves. A good majority of the episodes involve the child trying to tell their parents that something is wrong, only to be dismissed.
A rabbit is killed in The Werewolf of Fever Swamp. You don't see it happen but you see its motionless body later. A dead worm is shown pinned for dissection in Go Eat Worms. A dog skeleton is found on a beach in Ghost Beach.
