* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: A late 80's Canadian family film about a young boy and his grandfather who ultimately go searching for Captain Kidd's buried treasure on the titular island, but not before getting embroiled in a custody battle that involves George temporarily going to live with a horrendously abusive foster family who take on foster children solely as a second form of income, George and his friend escaping the family by means of his grandfather hiding them in his Halloween costume which is a giant bloody eyeball, and then very nearly getting murdered by the band of ghost pirates after digging up the treasure. Heck, the prologue of the movie shows the burying of the treasure itself along with the decapitated corpse of one of Kidd's crew. Said decapitation is shown on-screen, along with both the head and body tumbling into the hole, after which Kidd then shoots his remaining crew.

** The Beanes are horrible and self-centered people who seem to take on foster children simply because it amounts to a second form of income, and lock any children they do foster in their basement while severely underfeeding them to save money and revoking what little privileges they DO have at the slightest inconvenience. Heck, they don't even bother to learn their foster children's names and refer to them simply as 1 or 2 depending on the room they happen to be assigned. Despite being played for laughs the Beanes are still a pretty terrifying example of AdultFear in an otherwise light-hearted family film.

** Grandpa's costume for Halloween is a massive disembodied eyeballfloating that fits over his wheelchair and eerily glides down the sidewalk, sidewalks. While it's definitely not what one would call realistic it's still a pretty gruesome sight, especially at night! On another note, it may come across as a given that the back of the eyeball isn't just white but is blood red and dragging its optic nerves. It could still fall into the category of NightmareRetardant for some though as it was is not exactly what one would call realistic and is then used as a means to of escape for both George and Bonnie.
