Yeah, I wish the original ending could have been used as well. It had a much darker, Halloween feel to it that probably would have left most of the viewers glued to their screens. I agree that it was a little too dark for younger viewers, though. If a five year old would have decided to watch the episode and the original ending aired, he/she most likely would have had nightmares for weeks. I think the only reason this ending had to be scrapped was because of the animosity J.G. and the crew would have received from a bunch of angry parents. Plus, as Saizou1607 mentioned, there was almost no humor at all. If the creators would have tossed in a corny joke or two, the original ending might have possibly made it past the censors. For example, when Rigby saw all of their dead bodies, he could have said something like: "Sheesh, I really look like roadkill." That probably would have lightened the mood a little bit. I'm not sure if it would have helped all that much, but it sounds pretty funny to me. XD

While I enjoy the ending the creators went with, I still like the original ending more. Sure, it was scary and dark, but that's pretty much the whole point of Halloween. Besides, if we don't see something creepy at least once in our lifetime, we haven't really lived at all. (Wow, I guess I get pretty philosophical at one in the morning XD) Perhaps if the creators would have just tossed in a joke or two, the ending wouldn't have been so intense for younger viewers. In Terror Tales of the Park, my favorite part from Rigby's story (In The House) was when everybody died because there was way more humor than anything else. In fact, I laughed at the characters' deaths. I have a feeling it would have been the same way for the original ending of Terror Tales II if the creators had just added a few more funny moments. If the storyboarders wouldn't have to worry about younger children watching the episodes, I'm sure they would have went with the original ending in order to entertain the viewers.

Although I would have preferred to see the original ending, I'm perfectly fine with the ending the creators chose. I understand that they can't always do everything they want to because of censorship/young viewers, so I really have no right to complain. It would have been pretty cool to see the main characters be driven to hell, but at the same time, watching them get into a car crash was just as enjoyable. If I want to see the original ending so badly, I can just look up the storyboard work online. As long as I can view it there, I don't really have a reason to complain.
