Nightmare Fuel / Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show

"Give it up? I thought you wanted to hang with your hero!"

• Ed and Eddy's prank at the gag factory. Sure it was just to scare their friend Edd, but still.
  Ed: If looks could kill, I'd be dead.
• While the punishments from the kids onto the Eds usually leave them cowering in fear, the fact that all three of them are panicking and trying to run for their lives, visibly scared the whole time at the start of The Movie is unsettling; especially with the kids so pissed off that it seems like they're actually trying to murder them.
  • The opening to the movie is highly unnerving. It starts with just a bunch of random shots of the cul-de-sac, with no Background Music and not a soul in sight. This is immediately followed by a Jump Cut to the aftermath of the Eds' latest scam, where a small section of the cul-de-sac looks like a bomb went off in it. This is the first indication of many that something went horribly, horribly wrong.
    • The ants are especially freaky, skittering all over the ice cream cone. It wouldn't be too far out of a horror movie in terms of foreshadowing all the havoc that's already and about to ensue.
  • The kids' injuries are also pretty freaky. Jonny has a bear trap on his head, Kevin looks like he was set on fire, Nazz's hair has been partially shaved off and she's naked in a magician's box, and Rolf has most of his torso torn off! What in heaven's name did the Eds do?!
  • The Eds' scenes of panic are all uncomfortable to watch in their own way. Ed is acting like they've caused The End of the World as We Know It, Edd is writing a letter to his parents saying they've done the most unholy sin imaginable and has to keep pausing to cry, and Eddy is downright hysterical.
    Eddy: (packing up again after Ed runs into him) Ed, you idiot! I thought it was those sore losers!
    Ed: (in a state of panic) WHAT DO WE DO, EDDY!? WHAT DO WE DO?!
    Eddy: (running in circles) What happened to Sockhead?!
    (Ed reaches into his bag and pulls out Edd)
    Eddy: Here, hold this! (He hands the suitcase to Edd. The second he sees it, he loses his composure.)
    Edd: WE'RE FUGITIVES, EDDY! Are you aware of the consequences we're about to endure?! All because of our misguided chicanery!
    (Ed suddenly turns his head to the window, horrified, as the Eds see an ominous shadow pass by the blinds.)
    Eddy: Too late! Quick, my brother's room!
  • The voice acting throughout the chase scene—all of the kids (even Nazz and Rolf) truly sound like they're out for the Eds' BLOOD while the poor Eds are very believably terrified for their lives. Special mention goes to the absolutely vicious way Kevin delivers this line when Edd's quick thinking flings him off the car...
    Kevin: YOU DORKS AIN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME!
• The scene where Eddy and Ed seemingly sink in quicksand/mud; even though it's only a prank, it was surprisingly close to an actual death scene.
  • Double D's reaction to them faking their deaths. He is extremely pissed at them for scaring him that much. Sure he got mad in the main show, but here he is legitimately pissed off at them to the point of which he's willing to go back to the Cul-De-Sac rather than spend another second with Eddy and that he actually gets into a fight with Eddy over the scams, and the two actually physically duke it out. What makes it worse is that Ed watches the entire scene in utter fear and he's powerless to do anything about his two best friends fighting.
    Double D: Don't you DARE TOUCH ME! A sap?! Well, excuse my sincerity, but thinking I had lost the only two people I have left in this world-
    Eddy: (smiling) And?
    Double D: It's surprising, because your stubborn, inane desire to shock, sandbag and swindle IS WHAT PUT US HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
    Ed: I helped too.
    (Double D gives Ed a Death Glare)
    Double D: (turns back to Eddy) You and your NEFARIOUS SCAMS!
    Eddy: (finally gets mad) Like you were picking daisies! YOU BUILT THE STUPID THING!
    Double D: If you had paid attention to what I said and not pushed the red button...
    (Double D and Eddy starting physically fighting)
    Ed: STOP! I demand you two start tickling each other right now!
    Double D/Eddy: STAY OUT OF IT ED!!
    Ed: The evil dark side has consumed them both! Trouble! Bad! Pain!
• Eddy's brother in general, and particularly the above-pictured smile and stare he makes that stretches to around half his face. Worse, he's a Psychopathic Manchild of a bully who loves torturing children, and gives off an unnerving Ax-Crazy vibe. His chillingly realistic Evil Laugh when he twists Eddy's leg is reminiscent of those of Mephiles the Dark, The Hammer Haunts and The Coachman. Even the music that plays during the scene is pretty freaky too, as it is a sinister tune mixed with an electric guitar. Listen to it here.
  • The kids all react in absolute horror, to the point that Kevin, of all people, gets over his fear of Eddy's brother and tells him to lay off. Even the Kankers are utterly appalled by his cruelty.
  • The way Eddy brokenly begs for his brother to stop beating him is extremely unsettling.
  • The worst part? Eddy's brother's entire reasoning (at least from what we saw) of why he torments Eddy is horrifyingly realistic; after all, some abusers don't even need a reason for harming others.
    Eddy's brother: Belittle?! He's always been little!
  • Just before his brother starts playing "uncle", Eddy says "Bro, don't!" He knows what's coming, and all he can do is meekly plead with his brother not to do it.
• When Rolf thinks he's found the Eds, he takes out a pitchfork and starts stabbing the air.
• While awesome, the look on Ed's face as he decides to let the door off its hinges looks frighteningly familiar to the Nightmare Face he made back in "Little Ed Blue".
  • What's worse is that Ed was doing that out of his free will, whereas in Little Ed Blue, he was under the influence of a pebble within his shoe. It's disturbing to know how far Ed's state of mind is willing to go if he's pissed enough.
• The Stinger, where we see that Jonny has completely lost his mind after the kids gave him a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. Now a demented recluse hiding away in his dark lair, he vows revenge on the entire cul-de-sac, abandons his Captain Melonhead persona, and takes on a new supervillain identity, the Gourd. The tone of the scene is surprisingly dark and disturbing, and it's outright jarring to see a relatively harmless character like Jonny get driven off the deep end. Then the mood is quickly diminished when he realizes that's there's no time left in the movie for him to do anything evil, and with the series ending, any evil acts he could commit will be left to the imagination of fanfic writers.
  • May be lessened if you take into account the fact that Jonny will probably be more like Professor Chaos and simply Poke the Poodle, rather than do anything truly heinous or illegal.
• The notion of an adult like Bro getting molested by three minors like the Kankers is certainly a... unique sort of nightmare fuel.
