** An understatement in this case. In the novel Scott's sexual frustration is addressed in a more straightforward fashion.
** (Novel only) When he is shorter than his daughter, Louise hires a 15 year old babysitter to watch her while she works. [[spoiler: Scott while not making any direct moves, lusts over her (unknown to her as she doesn't know about his presence). Incidentally, he vividly repeats a phrase he heard from a pedophile who mistook him for a little boy.]]
** (Novel and comic book adaptation) Though he's upfront with Louise about his intentions, his relationship with Clarice is a one stand as he will eventually shrink to the point where intimacy will be impossible altogether (Unlike the film, there were no successful attempt to temporarily prevent the shrinking).

** Scott's battle with the spider. Even though the film was made on a shoestring budget, the scenes with the spider are very, very creepy and undoubtedly were intended to be scary. It is indeed very scary even over fifty years later.
** The entire beginning of the situation, especially in the original story, is extremely creepy. Imagine losing a 7th of an inch every day. Nothing major at first, but as time goes on you become smaller and smaller, with no way to stop it.
