Describe Coraline Discussion here.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: This book is supposed to cause nightmares. Thus, there is no Nightmare Fuel of the sort defined on the main page here — just High Octane Nightmare Fuel.
Freezair For A Limited Time: As I recall, High Octane Nightmare Fuel is supposed to be stuff directed at adults. Coraline is, at least in theory, a children's book.
Some Sort Of Troper: I'm going to copypasta my spiel for pages I clear up. Basically, no this page shouldn't exist and other pages have been cleared for the same reason. If I actually went over to clear out the non-examples, we'd have a sparse page.
Clean up of Nightmare Fuel, currently ongoing (cf discussion
 ) The page says and has always said it has to be unintentional and to be targetted to kids. The use of the trope namer was to emphasise that point.
 This trope is named after the phrase "Good Old-Fashioned Nightmare Fuel", used by Mike and the 'bots at least three times in Mystery Science Theater 3000 to describe trauma-inducing sights and objects in films that appeared by design to be originally intended for children.
