It's official. 'Cringe' is used so much that it's lost all its flipping meaning!

* The fact that Discworld is apparently ''crawling'' with bogeymen, Scissor Men, bears that appear if you step on sidewalk cracks, and other childhood terrors, that adults can't see but ''their child victims '''can'''''. Even if they're only there to ''scare'' kids to feed off their fears rather than to harm them physically, it's a horrifying thought to consider what the nights are like for children who ''don't'' have Death's granddaughter for a governess.

* Jonathan Teatime. He's creepy enough when he's just terrifying Assassins and nailing dogs to the ceiling with that cheerful PsychopathicManchild smile, but as the plot goes on he starts manifesting very subtle supernatural powers...
** His depiction in the live-action movie reads like a rather AxCrazy [[CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka]].
* ''Hogfather'' is also notable for thematic exploration of normal NightmareFuel -- as an EldritchLocation starts fighting back against Teatime's crew, more and more of them start to see manifestations of their irrational childhood fears. Except that those fears are now real and quite capable of killing them.
