History NightmareFuel / AGoofyMovie

* Seeing Goofy almost plummet to his doom. Sure, he was saved by Max just in time, but it must've freaked out pretty badly a lot of younger children back then.
** The scene is played so straight that Goofy doesn't even do his iconic yell - he screams in a very realistic and unsettling way.
** Even scarier? Goofy's reaction at seeing his only child (who he has just reconciled with after a nasty argument) being dragged to the waterfall and doing everything in his power to save him...even though the thought that he might not be successful has probably crossed his mind.

* When Goofy performs his SecretTestOfCharacter, Max feels guilty enough that he puts off his decision until the ''very'' last minute. Goofy is not only panicked that his son may be about to prove he's betrayed him, but the fact that he's seriously cutting it close and they may very well crash on the junction. The panicked screams from both of them as they get closer and closer to a potential wreck just before they hit the center divider is terrifying.
* Goofy's angry face when at the junction Max chooses the route that goes to LA instead of Idaho; to see ''Goofy'' of all people mad to the point where he doesn't speak and to storm out of the car in a huff as a real parent might in this situation is actually quite unsettling. Indeed, BewareTheNiceOnes.

* Max's creepy principal and his disturbing allusions to the electric chair. And on a deeper level, the notion that this animated world -- the world of ''Mickey, Donald, and Goofy'' -- has capital punishment.

* There's a [[http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv94/double5zz/f.jpg]] creepy little girl frequently seen at Lester's Possum Park with big intense eyes, stringy pigtails and an unsettling grin with missing baby teeth. Even ''Max'' is freaked out.

* The movie relies very much on dark humor. During the beginning of the road trip and the musical number the viewer can see among others singing: a prisoner which reminds Goofy of the whole chair thing, a man in a car trunk obviously implied to get the "cement shoes" execution method and a rotting, green Goofy-like corpse in a hearse who turns out to be the soul of the party and does a Prospector dance at the end. Seeing the face of a known cartoon character decaying is more disturbing for many people than adult zombie stuff.

* Fittingly enough, Max's NightmareSequence of turning into Goofy in mid-love scene with Roxanne is/was terrifying to a lot of young children in the audience. Even though it's {{Played for Laughs}}, it can still give off a genuinely creepy vibe, whether it's the abrupt change in atmosphere or the transformation itself.

* Goofy's DisneyAcidSequence dream in the second movie. It starts off with the usual Acid Sequence set to the theme song from ''Series/ThePartridgeFamily'' as Goofy's dreaming about the 70's and a bunch of fairies that look like Max. When he's seated at a table by a 70's version of himself, the fairies go to the other side of the table and come out as 11-year-old Max. Suddenly, the song goes into a LastNoteNightmare as Max suddenly turns into a hulking version of himself which rips the tablecloth off the table, sending Goofy falling through an abyss with visions of his boss and Pete until eventually ending up in a WhiteVoidRoom as Max screams "Get your own life!" at him from a trapdoor in the room ceiling, accompanied by 70's!Goofy before slamming the door, leaving him alone in the room.
* The climax with the flaming X games logo is pretty intense. And since this movie was released a year ''before'' 9-11, it makes the burning X even scarier.
** Seeing Goofy see his son go '''into''' the giant X that caught on fire is horrifying, especially to the audience. Goofy quickly goes inside to save his son, while the others can only watch horrified at the fact that they potentially saw two college students die a horrifying, flaming death. And this was on '''live TV at the time'''.
* Bradley Uppercrust III, while mostly just a stereotypical rich JerkJock, can be pretty unsettling. First, his facial expressions, while funny, can be quite... weird and creepy, especially when he smiles. Also, his obsession with winning the X games is so great that he was willing to straight up ''murder'' Max's team and even his best friend. It's also worth pointing out that he is around Max's age ( maybe slightly older ), as well as quite polite and soft-spoken, which makes him even creepier.
