Wasn't there a theory going around that the eyes changed color depending on the lesson of the day or something? Man, the number of hours I spent watching and re-watching Blue's Clues...good times. 😅

My kids watch this show all the time and it never struck me as odd. But now that you've pointed it out, I'm going to look at that candle with new eyes! Hopefully it doesn't give me the creeps too.

I remember when Blue's Clues used to be the go-to kids program back in the day. Those were the times. And the candle, ah yes. It did have a vibe. Can't get the red eyes though. Must have slept through it or something... or it was in an episode I missed. Or maybe it's just burnt into your memory and didn't actually happen! Who knows? 😉

lol dude it's a freaking child's show, get over it. My five year old could handle that candle. 😂

Honestly Blue's Clues was lowkey darker than people remember! I personally don't recall the candle having red eyes though. Maybe you're thinking of some other show? Either way, creepy stuff in kid's tv is pretty normal for some reason. Like Courage the Cowardly Dog...talk about nightmare fuel!

The candle creature is part of what makes Blue's Clues unique. A lot of eerie moments to create an atmosphere of suspense and curiosity in children. You'd be surprised at how many old children's shows have slightly creepy elements. These were designed to make children confront their fears in a controlled context and also to keep both adults and kids interested: it's psychology. Wouldn't doubt if the red eyes were part of some special episode or theme.

Wow u just brought back some disturbing childhood memories, thx lol. can't remember much bout that candle thng but man Blue's Clues did had some wierd stuff.
