Trypanophobia.

The fear of needles. 💉

I’ve had this phobia as LONG as I can remember! 😱

Can any of you relate?

I was pleased to learn that Bob Belcher can. 🤣

In “Heartbreak Hotel-oween,” Season 11, Episode 4 of Bob’s Burgers, Bob is pressured into donating his Type 0 blood by his wife, his friend, and medical assistants dressed up as vampires. 🧛🏻

One of the worst things that can happen for someone with a needle phobia is for something to go wrong. That’s OF COURSE what Bob experiences. 😉

Aside from the viewers getting to see Bob react to needles and blood, they also get to observe some ghost hunters trying to summon a ghost! 👻 It is QUITE the episode. 🦇

Whenever I watch the episode, I largely focus on the part that is NOT related to my phobia. 😂

In the video below featuring the song “Spooky Soiree” from the episode, you can see the vampire medical assistants, some ghost hunters, and even a ghost! 🎃

Lyrics:

I went on down to the party next door
The music sounded groovy, and I wanted more
They let me in
That’s when things got weird
‘Cause everyone there had been dead for years
It was a Spooky Soiree
Those ghouls could shimmy and shake
It was a spooky soiree
They’re dancing back from the grave
That guys dead
That guys dead
That lady died peacefully in bead
That guy too doin’ the boogaloo
Pretty darn sure that he’s dead too

How do you like the song?

I find it HILARIOUS! 😅

Have you ever watched a show or movie where the main character had the same phobia as you? Was it a funny experience? Or, was it difficult to watch?

Wishing you well! 💜
