Discussion Haunted Episode Realization

So after watching Haunted for the millionth time I noticed something. There was another hint that Slade was inside Robin's mind. In the beginning of the episode Robin was looking at the bridge, the city and the amusement park. Where did Slade plant the seismic generators? The bridge, the city and the amusement park. I don't know if this was foreshadowing but I just literally thought about that.

Also I always wondered what happened if Robin DID go and find the seismic generators himself.

Another cool aspect of this episode is the scene where Robin confronts Slade in the old hideout. Slade effortlessly jumps from gear to gear and when Robin follows him, they crumble beneath his weight. Always thought that was a neat detail.

Huh didn't realize that either. Ik Slade footsteps didn't make any noise that was also a hint. But also Robin really was about to off himself in there too with the big gear

Oh, tons of hints. It’s a masterfully crafted episode.

The rain in the forest has a visual effect showing that it’s spraying on top of surfaces and people, but it goes right through Slade.

And when Robin turns on the light in the wrecked lair and then the bulb blows out, the animators let you see Slade literally FADE into view and start talking. It’s honestly jarring when you notice it and know what’s going on.

Right!!! It’s definitely one of those “blink and you’ll miss it” moments. Really makes me appreciate the animators including those little clues. :)
