History NightmareFuel / TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles

* [[NightmareFuel/TMNT 2007 Movie]]

** But more AdultFear comes in when his comatose body is thrown through the skylight. As far as his brothers and April knew, he was just out cooling off. Now his body's been returned to them, and they have a moment of panic finding out whether he's alive or not.

* A lot more AdultFear is inserted in the movie when the majority of the Foot is [[TheReveal revealed]] to be ''young, misguided teens'' who have run away from home, manipulated by [[MagnificentBastard Shredder]] to join the "family" of the Foot Clan.

* The Final Battle with Shredder, where the turtles are beat up again and Shredder almost impales Leo. What saves Leo is the arrival of [[PapaWolf Splinter]] at literally the last second.

!!NightmareFuel for the Original Movie goes HERE:

* The scene where the boys find out Splinter is abducted. They're only 15 and their parent that has been there for them for their whole lives has been ripped away from them. What's worse it that they don't know ''who'' did it.

*** His theme, [[AwesomeMusic "Shredder's Suite"]], is a mix of epicness and scariness.

** The first time we get even a glimpse of him, even before he's fully introduced, he's just sitting in the dark, watching a wall of TVs. He throws a knife at one, which hits the image of April square in the face. It's a very effective build-up.

--> '''Shredder:''' Find her. [[OffingTheMouth Silence her.]]

*** Consider what this scene was like for those kids who were introduced to the ''very'' watered-down ''[[TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987)]]''. This movie is the first time they've seen their heroes use mild language, the first time they've seen violence with serious consequences, and sure as hell is the first time they are seeing their heroes get beaten up badly with no option but to retreat.

* And on that note, Tatsu beating up a young Foot Ninja qualifies as one of the scariest scenes. What's worse is that while it's implied that the kid is still alive, it's just a vague implication. The kid coughs a few times, then is [[NothingIsScarier silent for the rest of the scene]]. It could very well be that the boy ''slowly died'' of his injuries sustained by the beating.

** His scream is loud enough to travel out of the sewers, scaring a passing pedestrian.

--> '''Shredder:''' Then hang there until you ''die''!

*** His theme, "Shredder's Suite", is a mix of epicness and scariness.

** This is when you see the movie bring the characters back to their Mirage roots. The Foot in this scene are a dangerous opponent, Casey Jones is whacking away at enemies with hard wooden bats, and the remaining Turtles are fighting savagely for survival.

* In the first movie The Shredder himself is made of Nightmare Fuel, he's like a faster and more agile version of Darth Vader with more pointy things.
