History Main / CreepyLongFingers

* The Beldam (or Other Mother)s true form from Coraline had terrifyingly long spider-like hands that appeared to be made from SEWING NEEDLES.

* Starscream in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', definitely. Soundwave also seems to have these, but it's far less emphasized.

* Henry Tooms from ''Series/{{The X-Files}}'' episode "Squeeze" can elongate any part of his body, including fingers, which he demonstrates when squeezing himself through a chimney into someone's house to murder them.

* Aurra Sing in TheCloneWars. Along with chalk white skin, a bald head with a single tail of hair, and an antenna protruding from that same bald head. It's never explained of what species exactly she is.

These characters are likely to use their big hands in subtle or overt expressive ways, and comparisons to skeletons and [[ArachnidAppearanceAndAttire spiders]] are common. They'll usually gesticulate with surgeon like precision or [[MarionetteMotion herky-jerky motions]]. Outright inhuman CreepyLongFingers may have extra knuckles or [[ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Kruger]] style finger attachments that can double as weapons.

** And if that wasn't bizarre enough, he has ''six'' of them.

** If that wasn't bizarre enough, he actually has six fingers.

Goes well with the stretched-out physiques of NoodlePeople.

** And anyone else who LooksLikeOrlock.

* [[spoiler: Ultimecia inhabiting ]] Edea [[spoiler:'s body]] in ''FinalFantasyVIII'' has either this or FemmeFatalons covered by long-fingered gloves, it's hard to tell. [[spoiler: When we see normal Edea in her normal outfit, the camera doesn't make any special accent on her hands, but IIRC they are normal]].

* The [[http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Aye-Aye_Daubentonia_madagascariensis_in_Copenhagen_(Left_Hand).jpg&filetimestamp=20100408192119 aye-aye]] (''Daubentonia madagascariensis''), a species of lemur. And as if just having long fingers isn't creepy enough, the third finger additionally is incredibly thin!

* Jack Skellington in ''WesternAnimation/ANightmareBeforeChristmas'' has these, but of course, they are bones...

* Jack Skellington in ''ANightmareBeforeChristmas'' has these, but of course, they are bones...

* ''TheLordOfTheRings'': Gollum.

* Some subspecies (like [[http://images.wikia.com/deadspace/images/a/a8/Stalker4_DS2.jpg Stalkers]]) of the Necromorphs from ''DeadSpace'' have elongated, clawed fingers along with the rest of their mutations.

* {{Saladfingers}} makes creepy use of his long bony fingers.

* In ''HarryPotter'' Lord Voldemort reborn is said to have long, thin fingers.

The one big drawback to using this this trope in live action media is that human actors are unlikely to be able to handle extra knuckles or delicate motions, which is why animatronics and CGI fare better.
