* ''Film/JohnMulaneyAndTheSackLunchBunch'' deliberately re-creates the style of the children's shows that Creator/JohnMulaney grew up with, but it's aimed at a much older audience. While it's not too graphic or vulgar (as the bulk of the cast is made up of children), it's still full of references to death, mutilation, and existential horror.

The title for this movie is an innuendo for gay orgies. That's a pretty big way to tell that it's not for kids.


* ''WesternAnimation/SausageParty'' could easily fool more than a few unsuspecting people into thinking it's a kids' movie due to its [[ArtStyleDissonance Pixar-esque art style]].

Then comes Episode 2, which sees Wooly try to warn the audience about Amanda ("Whatever you do, don't...") before the episode glitches and starts like normal -- and it just escalates from there. The full version of the game gives the show an even scarier (not to mention [[TearJerker sadder]]) context: [[spoiler:It started out as a genuinely innocent children's show on public access television, created by a man named Sam Colton who based it on his adopted daughter, Rebecca, who portrayed Amanda. However, when a TV company called Hameln Entertainment approached Sam to turn the show into an animated series, everything went horribly wrong: Sam suddenly disappears when he discovers what the studio is making his daughter do for the show, after which Hameln makes Sam out to be the bad guy, kids around town begin to mysteriously vanish, and the show itself starts to become gradually more and more unhinged with Amanda discussing disturbing subject matter like death, animals getting violently injured, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking telling kids that parents can sometimes be wrong]], with the heavy indication that Amanda the TV character is now possessed by her own voice actress and forced to trap people in the TV show's world.]]
