2	[[caption-width-right:350:Here, kitty!]]
3	* The DarkReprise of "Big and Loud," and Darla in general. What makes her scary is just how disturbingly straight her sociopathy is played.
4	** She wears clippers on her head during the song. At the end, she plugs them in and it shocks her. She seems to be incapable of feeling pain as she doesn't react to it at all.
5	** Her evil laugh in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oQEG4YO33A German dub]]. In the English version, it's relatively normal and actually a little bit cute. Here, however, it sounds like the laugh of some deranged serial killer or something.
6	** [[SlasherSmile "Invite that CAT... to TEEEAAAAAAAA!"]]
7	** Not since the Queen of Hearts has the imagery of cute Valentine hearts [[WickedHeartSymbol looked so evil]]...
8	** “[[VillainousBreakdown I’m the star! You stupid, stupid cat! I should have drowned you all when I]] '''''[[SuddenlyShouting FLOODED THE STAGE!!!!!]]''''' [[AccidentalPublicConfession (echoes)]]”
9	* The fact that Danny was nearly murdered by Max. What makes this moment even more terrifying is that the animals are made to symbolize the minorities who were unable to get the work they wanted because of their race, and were also denied their rights, such as a murder not being taken seriously enough. In other words, had Max succeeded, then no one, except Danny's friends, would really care about his death. Even if anyone else ''did'' care, there's nothing they can do about it out of fear of Max, let alone getting on Darla's bad side.
10	** Max's intimidating nature was PlayedForLaughs throughout the movie, but in the climax he actually seems genuinely terrifying, especially when he's about to go in for the kill, laughing and giving a SlasherSmile.
11	* Never during any point in the film does the audience learn [[AmbiguouslyHuman exactly what Max is]] and why he possesses superhuman abilities. It's highly likely that's what the creators intended, [[NothingIsScarier as it makes Max all the more frightening.]]
