History NightmareFuel / Hook

** His tormented screams as he flails about futilely fighting for his life really seal the horror of the moment.

*** What makes it worse - apparently Hook ''improvised on the fly'' when he abducted Jack and Maggie. Briefly, there's a gust of wind at the ceremony and Wendy stumbles, knocking over a glass of wine. The implication is that Hook went for ''her'' first, then realised there was something ''better'' and there was ''no-one to stop him in the house'' and changed his plan accordingly.

** What makes the scene especially weird and creepy is the way it [[DeusExMachina comes completely out of nowhere]]. Neverland may be a fantasy world, but we don't see anything up until then to suggest that the dead can come back to life. Then Hook tears his hook through the crocodile's belly, and the huge, dry, dusty reptile (which must have been dead and stuffed for ''decades'' by that time) opens its mouth in a roar and starts breaking free of its support beams...[[OhCrap and tilts its head down to look right at the Captain]].

--->'''Gutless''': NO! NOT THAT!

--->'''Maggie:''' The mean, scary man at the window stole [Jack's baseball].
--->'''Peter:''' There's no mean, scary man.
--->'''Maggie:''' But he says he's a window washer!

* Peter exploding at his family when they annoy him during his business call, complete with an extremely upsetting BigShutUp. It's [[MoodWhiplash a far cry]] from the aloof and frustrated but bumbling father Peter's been up to that point.

*** Worse, it's hinted that the pirates were watching the children from the moment the family arrived at the house -- possibly even longer, since they not only knew that Jack and Maggie ''were'' Peter's children, but the exact night that the family arrived in London.

** Another creepy moment, as Tootles realizes downstairs that Hook is coming, the fearful barking from the dog Nana outside gradually morphs into guttural yells of "HOOK! HOOK!".

* Gutless's punishment for betting against Hook: he's locked in a small chest (the "Boo Box") where the other pirates drop live scorpions on him through a small hatch. And [[ScaryBlackMan one pirate]] mocks him with "BOO!" upon each scorpion dropped on Gutless. It's truly a horrible way to die.

** MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Did the stuffed croc really come back to life, or did Hook just set off a chain reaction of old ropes and supports snapping by hitting, and then tugging at, the body?

* Captain Hook flat out slew Rufio so nonchalantly as though opening a letter.

* The dead crocodile clock (made from the same croc that ate Hook's hand) coming back to life to finish the job by '' eating Hook alive.''

*** Granted, some unofficial sources claim the Croc's body came back to life because it was possessed by its restless spirit at that moment, with the intent of [[GhostlyGoals finishing its vendetta against Hook]] so it could ascend to the afterlife, but even then, this is still unconfirmed.

** Especially when [[spoiler:Peter meets a man that looks like Smee after arriving from Neverland]], it gives you all the FridgeHorror mentioned above.

** This parallels the original play where the Darlings come back home to find their children's beds empty (they left with Peter Pan). Of course Hook deliberately made their discovery as nightmarish he could by trashing the house, scraping the wall with his hook and knocking out the housekeeper.
