History NightmareFuel / Clue

* ''Clue: Murder at Boddy Mansion'' uses 3D graphics with [[UnintentionalUncannyValley uncanny looking]] character models. Anytime the player or AI makes a suggestion of who killed Boddy with what weapon, the game pulls up a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4FuceR2pBQ little animation]] that depicts his death from the murdered man's point of view, complete with a ScareChord. The cold, dead stare that the characters have as they peer at him just makes the whole thing worse. This version of the game is rated T for a damn good reason. Thankfully, there's an option to disable these.
** Despite the aforementioned rating, General Mills provided this game along with some of Hasbro's other CD-ROM games in a special cereal promotion. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids No doubt that this made it easier for kids to get their hands on it.]]

* There is a good reason why Ending D was cut: It has Wadsworth going through a SanitySlippage as he admits that he has [[ForTheEvulz poisoned the guests just so he can commit the perfect murder]].

* One of the children's books of the series ends with Mr. Green being strangled by Mr. Boddy's pet snake. Green begs for help, but Boddy just pulls up a chair and says he wants to watch. Pretty dark for a kids' book based on a board game.

* While the sixth murder is mostly seen as funny, it can be a bit scary due to how sudden it is.

->'''Boddy:''' In your hands, you each have a lethal weapon. If you denounce me to the police, you will also be exposed and humiliated. I'll see to that in court. But.... if one of you kills Wadsworth now, no one but the seven of us will ever know. He has the key to the front door, which he said would only be opened over his dead body. I suggest we take him up on that offer. The only way to avoid finding yourselves on the front pages is for one of you to kill Wadsworth.....now!

* You want a reason to fear Mrs. White? Play the Genesis version of Clue and suggest/interrogate/accuse her with the knife. Good luck sleeping after '''''[[ScareChord that.]]'''''

* The fourth and fifth murders. First, [[spoiler: Yvette]] walks into a dark room. An unknown voice tells them to lock the door, and asks them if anyone saw them. [[spoiler: Yvette]] answers in an different accent, only to switch back to scream "It's you!" as they get ''strangled with the rope.'' Then we cut to [[spoiler: the cop]] telling someone on the phone that they are genuinely afraid, only for the murderer to use the lead pipe to hang up the phone, then ''bash their head in.''

* The scene leading up to Mr. Boddy's death in the movie is quite chilling, and the eerie music doesn't help.

** The third murder is pretty creepy too, in a way that's similar to the fifth. [[spoiler: The Motorist]] is on the phone, telling an unknown party how they've been locked into the lounge and how there are people there having "some sort of party". He's just said that one of the guests is his old boss, [[spoiler: revealing his connection to Colonel Mustard]], when an unknown party sneaks up on him, bashes him on the head with the wrench, and nonchalantly hangs up the phone.

* If you look closely at [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/38/c7/c1/38c7c1c2f8dfdb5dc525d81317905d6e.jpg the center of the board of the 1972 edition]], you'll see [[ShadowDiscretionShot a rather creepy silhouette]] of the supposed killer in a dark stairway. Did you just catch them in the act? Are you ''next''?
