When an example based on Para Norman was cut, a sub bullet was missed.


** Particularly cringe-inducing is the town sign, which has a picture of a hanging witch and two Puritans. When you learn what that scene would [[WouldHurtAChild actually have]] [[MoralEventHorizon looked like...]]

* The final scene of ''Film/{{If}}'', a surrealist counterculture comedy from 1968, centers on the protagonist and his fellow misfits getting revenge on their hated school by going on a shooting spree. At the time of its release, this scene was intended to be the surreal culmination of the protagonist's revolutionary ideals. With Columbine and Virginia Tech making the news, it comes off as a youth in trouble. It doesn't help that the protagonist is played by Creator/MalcolmMcDowell (who'd go on to play Alex [=DeLarge=] three years later in ''Film/AClockworkOrange'', which also had teenagers committing horrific crimes, such as rape and murder).

** Also, the entirety of ''Film/WhatDreamsMayCome'' has become this; not just due to the fact that Williams' character spends basically the entirety of the film in the afterlife, but also a substantial portion of it details his journey into the movie's equivalent of Hell to try and save the soul of his wife who took her own life in grief over his death because, according to the logic of the movie's universe, everyone who commits suicide ends up in Hell by default. ''Yikes.''

* The events of ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'' make Randall's antagonism towards the protagonists, especially Mike, in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' a whole lot darker. [[spoiler:Not only did they used to be friends, or at least friendly roommates, Mike's advice to Randall to use his invisibility is what helped him become such a good scarer in the first place.]] It also works two ways -- [[spoiler:for months, if not years, he'd been beaten out as Scare Leader by a ''college dropout''!]]
