In the Bahasa Indonesia version of the episode, the cause of Hash Slinging Slasher's death was different: Instead of dying by a bus crash and 'fired' at his funeral, he was killed due to being burned alive (implied to be due to spontaneous combustion) not long after going crazy after having replaced his hand with a spatula.The Hash Slinging Slasher appears in Squidward's stage (B-Movie) in SpongeBob SquigglePants, which was a prank by SpongeBob and Patrick to scare Squidward, if the player loses all of their lives, SpongeBob and Patrick reveal themselves and scare Squidward, but if the player wins, SpongeBob and Patrick fall, with Squidward looking in annoyance.In the Croatian version of the show, The Hash Slinging name is 'Jack Konobarosjek' which is a parody of 'Jack The Ripper' (Jack Trbosjek on Croatian).The Hash Slinging Slasher's name is often mispronounced by SpongeBob and to a lesser extent, Squidward.However, he is much more likely a parody of Hook Killer as both replace their hand with a sharp object.

The three then find that a mischievous vampire called Nosferatu was the culprit there and tell him off. He also admitted that he was the one who called but he hung up because he felt nervous. Fortunately, the Hash-Slinging Slasher was not real at all, as the shadowy figure whom they mistaken as the ghost was actually a nervous fish who was trying to get a job application and that his hand holding the spatula was hidden under his sleeve. The supposed ghost then entered the Krusty Krab and approached the terrified SpongeBob and Squidward, who both feared they would now be killed. However, Squidward's story later seemingly came true as the lights began flickering off and on, the phone rang but was silent when Squidward answered, and an apparently late running bus arrived and dropped off a shadowy figure with red glowing eyes wielding a spatula. SpongeBob laughs with relief at this, which annoys Squidward just as much. Squidward initially laughs at SpongeBob's scared shrieks, but then gets so annoyed with the nonstop noises that he confesses to making the whole story up just to scare him. Squidward then told the frightened, yet insistent SpongeBob that the slasher would then 'get' him, implying that he would be killed by the ghost. He would then use his spatula hand to tap the front window, open the door, and slowly approach the counter. Squidward then told SpongeBob how the ghost would exit the bus and cross the street without looking both ways first, since he was already dead.

Finally, the bus that ran the slasher over would appear and drop him off.

Squidward then told SpongeBob that the ghost of the Hash-Slinging Slasher now returns to the Krusty Krab for revenge every Tuesday night. After he died, he was 'fired' from his job at his funeral, and judging from Squidward's harsh tone, he was fired in a very disrespectful and unprofessional manner.

Later, while he was walking home, a bus runs him over and kills him. He immediately replaced the severed hand with a rusted spatula.
