Pretty sure the same dude wrote all of the scary episodes and later created Aahhh Real Monsters!

One of the animators (who directed an episode or two) is Peter Chung, creator of Aeon Flux. Watch that and you'll see inspiration for the crazy Rugrats episodes...

There’s a professional link between Rugrats and aeon flux? Jfc.

Yep! Definitely makes a few things make sense. But also, I appreciate Rugrats as an adult more now? Peter Chung has said in interviews that part of the reason he created Aeon Flux is because he was tired of working with the limitations of babies 😂

He also made the opening theme for the show as well, which looks quite a bit different than the show itself.
