History NightmareFuel / Titanic1997

** As the Titanic sinks, the surrounding lights underwater illuminate the water to a sickly green glow, a representation of death coming for the ship itself.

** The Irish mother is shown tucking her children into bed in their cabin deep within the ship. The accomodations for third class women with children were located in the stern, so if the flooding or the breakup didn't kill them, then they perished once the stern imploded.

* The "Nearer, My God, to Thee" montage manages to be half-Tearjerker and half-Nightmare Fuel, often in the same shot. Towards the end, the band's music is being drowned out by the metallic groans as the ship begins its plunge with the sound of water rushing into the hull.

** The soundtrack deserves a special note too; especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CnJbHf1OOw "Death of Titanic".]] At the 6:06 mark, strange chattering noises that sound almost demonic can be heard in the background, contrasting with the serene music. Yeesh.

** Made even worse by the fact that Titanic’s final message was interrupted by a fight breaking out between a fireman and the Marconi operators. Nothing more is heard from the ship. For the wireless operators listening in, this would have been like being next to someone whose afraid to die and pleading to be saved, only to die in mid-sentence.
*** it could’ve been much worse than it actually was as it was discovered during the inquest that the Titanic’s own Marconi wireless went down briefly sometime between her departure from Queenstown and the sinking and the operators had to literally take it apart and rebuild it to get it to work. If they hadn’t done that all would’ve perished, those in the water and especially those in the life boats and the rest of the world none the wiser!

** Rose going back down a second time for Jack, at which point the water level is so high it's causing the electrical conduits in the ceiling to arc and short out.
** Rose then ditches her pink longcoat and plunges into the water. It's chest-deep, and she lets out a very loud gasp entering water that was previously described to her as being "like a thousand knives stabbing into your body at once."

Towards the end, the band's music is being drowned out by the metallic groans as the ship begins its plunge with the sound of water rushing into the hull. Not to mention Ben Guggenheim's [[OhCrap look of pure horror]] when he sees the staircase begin flooding right before him sums up the living nightmare of utter horror and hopelessness that is now unfolding and those trapped aboard now face.

*** Truly, Ben Guggenheim's [[OhCrap look of pure horror]] when he sees the staircase begin flooding right before him sums up the living nightmare that is now unfolding. It really sums up the utter horror and hopelessness those trapped aboard now face.

** You could only imagine the sheer anxiety and fear that boy must've had throughout his whole scene: Likely under his father's orders, the boy waits in a slowly flooding corridor for indefinite amount of time unsure if his father would survive. Then suddenly, two complete strangers, despite their absolute best intentions, suddenly kidnap him. Since they didn't speak his language, he didn't bother telling them his dad was looking for him, but probably felt so helpless and uncertain in that moment to reluctantly go with them. It's only just after when Jack and Rose grab him, his father arrives at the last second and is understandably pissed at randos taking his son.

** It is very unlikely that the family survived. Even if they did manage to get out of the maze corridors, they were third-class passengers, and most of them didn't get to the lifeboats. This scene is the last time we see them alive. They are never seen again.

* To some, the frozen lady with the wide-open eyes, floating in the ocean, can be this. In the scene where the crew in the lifeboats finally returned to look for survivors, she's the first corpse they pick up to see if she's alive. There's something eerie about those dead, grey eyes that are wide open, making it seem like she's staring at a ghost. There's a sound played at that very moment when you get to see her face close, that could be concidered a jump-scare if you find this scene scary.

*** The passengers in the water are not the only casualties of the break-up of the ship either. Initially, as the Titanic's stern rose higher into the air, anybody who was not holding onto something or wedged between the corridors slid across the decking until they either managed to grab ahold of something, collided painfully with an object that stopped their fall or for the vast majority fell into the water. As the ship rips apart, a few passengers have the gross misfortune of being caught right on the edge of the tear. For these unfortunate souls, the tear is uneven, leaving several sharp edges and the ship's wiring short-circuits. As gravity takes over, those on the stern that do not have a hold of anything or cannot maintain their grip due to the velocity of the fall are flung across the surface of the ship into the gaping wound and certain death.

* Officer Murdoch being pushed to the point of shooting passengers as the situation gets worse. Made worse when he accidentally shoots Tommy and a trail of blood streaks right before his feet; capped off by Murdoch taking his own life upon seeing what he's done.

*It is very unlikely that the family survived. Even if they did manage to get out of the maze corridors, they were third-class passengers, and most of them didn't get to the lifeboats. This scene is the last time we see them alive. They are never seen again.
* The fact that, ArtisticLicense and fictional characters aside, all of this ''actually happened''.

* To some, the frozen lady with the wide-open eyes, floating in the ocean, can be this. In the scene where the crew are looking for survivors, she's the first corpse they pick up to see if she's alive. There's something eerie about those dead, grey eyes that are wide open, making it seem like they are staring at a ghost, as she looks frightened.
