* Probably the most disturbing thing is how animal-like Star acts when she transforms. Her voice turns into a creepy guttural-sounding whisper that only speaks the same one or two words repeatedly, she shoots webbing all over the school to "mark her territory", she obsessively stalks over and captures Oskar like a predator catching its prey, and she shows absolutely no emotion whatsoever when she's actively attacking Marco, her best friend, for getting in her way. It's as if she's simply acting on primal urges, with the only semblance of her old self being when she recognizes Oskar.

* Mina is defeated at last. Then Marco arrives and drops a bombshell: the person in the suit of armor ''isn't Mina''. It's just some random mook. Cue ''hundreds'' of the same giant suits of armor marching toward he castle, with Mina at its head. Saying this went FromBadToWorse would be an understatement. It's Mewdipendence Day all over again.

* The titular demon Star summons seems to be more creepy than scary, despite looking like an underwhelming BedsheetGhost at first. He winds up being [[SurpriseCreepy BOTH]], with how he ''[[DroolDeluge just drools everywhere at his largest size.]]''

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* When they talk about "dipping down", Star and Glossaryck's pupils end up widening and consuming their irises and sclera, making them pitch black, which is [[UncannyValley very unsettling]] to look at.

** It's cerebral, too - In an absolutely nightmarish voice, Toffee's left cursing Star, claiming that "''I'm the only one who knows how this all turns out!!''". Seeing him ''lose it'' like this is chilling.

** Turns out there's similarities between Tom and Miss Heinous, too. Both were Mewman-Monster hybrids born to royalty, and subjected to FantasticRacism because of their race. However, it was the Magic High Commission's intervention that led to Meteora being abandoned, abused, and twisted into the villain she is today; [[AdultFear Tom's parents must've been extremely lucky their son wasn't targeted for the same reasons]].

* In a more [[AdultFear mundane]] way, Ben Fotino. He's a voyeuristic creep who coerced two random teenagers into kissing each other just because he thought they should, is completely unconcerned with their visible distress afterwards because at least ''he'' got what he wanted, and [[KarmaHoudini completely gets away with it]]. Also counts as ParanoiaFuel, as neither Star nor Marco, nor even Pony Head were aware that this guy lived inside the booth, despite having used it to take friend photos several times before.

* What's revealed about [[TheDreaded Eclipsa]] over the course of season 3 is much worse than what was foreshadowed. Not because she herself is scary, but because what ''happened'' to her is scary. She didn't do ''anything''. Moon and the High Commission even admit as much, she was [[AndIMustScream locked away for centuries]] and taken from her lover and her ''child'' and she. Did. Nothing. Even after being forced to admit that, the High Commission still intend to lock her away, all because of the ingrained racism and prejudice in Mewman society causing these otherwise good people to do something awful to an innocent woman.

* Quirky Guy demonstrates what happens to monsters if too wounded by Solarian wounds: they just explode into light. [[NoBodyLeftBehind No body]], no blood, just... nothing left behind as they explode. Oh, and when they explode, ''[[KilledOffForReal they don't come back]]''. Janna's [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness scream of terror]] was appropriate.

* In a desperate attempt to feed some of Glossaryck 's aforementioned pudding to Tom, Marco manages to ''[[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impale himself on the dark unicorn's horn.]]'' It's brief, but you can clearly see the horn sticking out of his back. Arguably one of the most graphic injuries on the show.

* Glossaryk, the Magic High Commission, and the unicorns in the Realm of Magic all die due to the destruction of magic, the latter having the ''flesh melt off their bones''. And that's not even considering what the magic and the Wand being destroyed does to the spells inhabiting it and other magical beings across the Multiverse, like the Laser Puppies.

* How about the scene where Star knocks one of the Pie Folk into the LAVA with one of her spells? Granted, it's later reaveled to be just lukewarm tomato juice, but we don't find this out until minutes later, and Star didn't know the lava was harmless. Up until that point, it looks like Star murdered a fellow human being without remorse, in a childrens show, no less.
