History NightmareFuel / JurassicParkIII

** Then we're led to believe that Billy was killed after being stabbed and pecked at by a pair of ''Pteranodons''. The next scene then shows a terrified Alan looking into the glaring eyes of a third ''Pteranodon'' before running away.

'''Paul:''' My phone?\\

** It's also seen in [[DaylightHorror broad daylight multiple times]], so the often calm moments afforded by daylight are no defense this time ago. Once that juggernaut came barreling out to kill Cooper, it refused to stop.

* As a whole, there's something about Isla Sorna that is so much creepier than in ''Lost World''. While in the previous film, Isla Sorna was mostly jungle with a few abandoned outposts. Here, there are several abandoned facilities that look downright post-apocalyptic, ''and they all have something deadly occupying them''. Special mention goes to the cloning facility and "bird cage", which are both falling apart and very creepy. You just ''know'' something is off when the characters enter these places.

-->'''Paul:''' How did you know we were here?\\

* The deaths of ThoseTwoGuys on the Dino-Soar boat at the beginning, particularly since [[NothingIsScarier we don't see what happens to them]].
* Alan's nightmare onboard the private jet where he awakens to see the whole plane abandoned...and suddenly there's a Velociraptor in his face saying his name. Questionable as its execution may be, the very premise of the nightmare is legitimately frightening.

* The ''Spinosaurus''. It kills the ''T. rex''. Let that sink in fully. The ''T.rex'', the very dinosaur that seemed an unstoppable force that chased down cars, ripped apart a raptor pack, ran rampant through hunter camps and San Diego in the prior two films; goes toe-to-toe with the ''Spinosaurus'' and '''loses.''' [[labelnote:note]]Admittedly, it was a noticeably ''smaller'' T. rex and probably an immature sub-adult, who may have been less experienced.[[/labelnote]] And the sail-backed super predator doesn't ever stop throughout of this and proceeds to be a ''very'' [[SuperPersistentPredator persistent]], chasing the protagonists across the island and [[MadeOfIron surviving being shot by anti-vehicle rifles and getting rammed by a plane]]. No matter what is thrown at it, man's machine or beast of nature, it seems to never stop chasing its prey.

** Re-watching ''Jurassic Park III'' after ''Film/JurassicWorld'' (or, more accurately, some of the promo material for ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom''), the ''Spinosaurus'' becomes even more frightening. Let's just say that the ''Indominus rex'' was ''not'' the first experimental super predator that Dr. Wu came up with...
*** Building on that, [[ScienceMarchesOn the continually mounting fossil evidence]] that the real ''Spinosaurus aegypticus'' was not only extremely different from the one in this movie but may well have been one of the weirdest dinosaurs to ever live retroactively makes this spino even scarier. This thing just becomes more and more unnatural as time goes on, moreso than the Indominus, Indoraptor, and maybe even [[WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous the Scorpios Rex]], all of which were ''deliberately designed'' out-of-universe to be the genetically-engineered theme park monsters that Grant derides [=InGen=]'s dinosaurs as. Because those ones weren't ''meant'' to be real dinosaurs; even the artistic liberties with the raptors can be handwaved as "Oh, this really ''is'' a real dromaeosaurid, they just have a different name in this universe" and the dilophosaurs were merely a demonstration that you can't know everything about an animal just from its bones. But the ''Spinosaurus'' is ''supposed'' to be a real animal, and it only becomes less of one with every new discovery.

** Then its whole concluding scene with the boat. The ''Spinosaurus'', chiefly protrayed by the largest and most powerful animatronic Stan Winston ever created, chases down the boat into the river and proceeds to tear it apart during a full torrential downpour. During said scene, we're led to believe that Paul was KilledOffForReal as Amanda and Eric cry for him. Fortunately, it turns out that he's OK.

** While it's almost certainly coincidence, at a couple points the raptor's call almost actually sounds like a heavily-stuttered version of the ''word'' "help".
* The whole scene with the ''[[GiantFlyer Pteranodons]]''. The introduction is specially frightening. First, Amanda crosses the foggy bridge before her son does and, once on the other side, calls for her son to cross over. Once Eric goes, Alan soon [[OhCrap realizes]] that they're all in a "bird cage." Cue Eric alone on the foggy bridge as an ominous, tall, inhuman shadow appears in front of him. Then the screaming starts...

** Even worse is that [[BloodIsSquickerInWater the water starts turning red]]. The [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark last time]] that happened in a ''Jurassic Park'' film, the results weren't pretty.
** Eric was almost eaten alive by a large group of ''Pteranodon'' [[KillerRabbit babies]]. All while on top of a small cliff. There was even a human '''skull''' found in the nest.

** A deleted scene makes it even ''worse'' when you know what caused him to meet his end. According to the deleted scene, after Eric managed to release himself from the tree but before Ben was able to drop from his parachute, they were beset by a pack of velociraptors. Eric was forced to flee, leaving Ben behind. And considering Ben's skeletal remains were found still suspended by the parachute cords, they killed him before he ever even had the chance to free himself. Imagine being this man, trapped in your own parachute after just surviving that ordeal, being ripped apart by velociraptors, possibly even having his ''legs'' torn away from him while still alive, knowing how they feed. Truly gruesome to imagine.

-->'''Billy:''' It's a ''[[KingOfTheDinosaurs Tyrannosaurus]]''.

* Alan's nightmare onboard the private jet where he awakens to see the whole plane abandoned...and suddenly there's a Velociraptor in his face saying his name.

** While it's almost certainly coincidence, at a couple points the raptor's call almost actually sounds like a heavily-stuttered version of the ''word'' [[UncannyValley "help"]].

* The sound of the phone is still ringing in the ''Spinosaurus's'' belly. It can give one chills when it's discovered standing several feet behind the surviving group when they realize their mistake.

Even though this is considered the most lighthearted version of the Jurassic Park Franchise by far, there’s still many blood-curdling moments to be had.

WARNING: Spoilers are unmarked.

* The deaths of ThoseTwoGuys on the boat at the beginning, particularly since [[NothingIsScarier we don't see what happens to them]].

-->'''Paul''': ''[hears a roar respond to his wife's megaphone use]'' ...What was that?
-->'''Billy''': It's a ''[[TyrannosaurusRex Tyrannosaurus]]''.
-->'''Grant''': I don't think so, ''[hears gunshots in the jungle]'' it sounds [[AlwaysABiggerFish bigger]].

** Unlike its predecessors, the third movie's ''Velociraptors'' are a ''lot'' smarter, can communicate, are better parents, ''and'' are willing to work together to bring down their prey... their targets mainly being the protagonists.

* The ''Spinosaurus''. It kills the ''T. rex'' with ease and is ''very'' [[SuperPersistentPredator persistent]], chasing the protagonists across most of the island and surviving being shot by anti-vehicle rifles and getting rammed by a plane.

* Billy has a machine build the resonating chamber of a raptor and blows into it to demonstrate. The look on Grant's face is priceless; it's clear that he has nightmares about that sound and it's enough to make your teeth curl.
** Such a thing is even discussed in an earlier scene, where Grant talks about his new theory over with Ellie.
--->'''Grant:''' Do you remember the noises they made?\\

** When they trap one raptor in the facility, it starts making a panicked, but consistent noise. Grant has a major OhCrap moment, as he realizes his theory about raptor intelligence was right on the money.
--->'''Grant:''' It's calling for help.
