History NightmareFuel / Aladdin

* Pretty much the whole scene where Jafar takes over. The palace is absolutely huge, dwarfing the rest of Agrabah. The fact something like that can be picked up like a carrot out of a garden is bad enough, but having it be moved by a friend against his will is still the tip of the iceberg! How Jafar reveals he's the one in charge of the Genie to Al by having him tower over the palace like a mile-tall wingless [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} Chernabog]], how minutes ago everything was going so well, Jafar wishing he was the most powerful sorcerer in the world, and Al tries in vain to have Genie miss powering up his target... Someone's having a bad day.
** "Finders keepers, Abooboo," indeed.
** Jafar's [[LaughingMad insane]] [[EvilLaugh laughter]] at the end of [[DarkReprise Prince Ali Reprise]] and the shot of him slowly looming over Jasmine and the Sultan, who are both defenseless and utterly terrified. The whole scene shifting to a red tint with the music growing very intense as he does it doesn't help in the slightest.

-->'''Aladdin:''' [[TemptingFate Are you afraid to fight me yourself, you cowardly snake!?]]\\

** It's also ''crystal clear'' that Jasmine nearly has her hand cut off for 'stealing' in the market when she's dressed as a commoner.

* [[OneWingedAngel Genie Jafar]]. If you didn't already get a Devil vibe from this guy, he transforms from a massive serpent to a gigantic, crimson, fanged, black-taloned, musclebound abomination, perpetually surrounded with plumes of smoke, flashes of lightning, bellowing about how the Universe is now his plaything. ''Yikes''.

* Beggar!Jafar's "Your ''[[OhCrap eternal]]'' [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness reward]]..." when he first gets the lamp.

** The Cave collapses on itself after Abu grabs the SchmuckBait ruby on the gorilla statue in the Lamp Chamber and presses the guardian's BerserkButton. The entity screams "INFIDELS! You have touched the ''forbidden treasure''! Now you will never again see the [[PunctuatedForEmphasis light! Of!]] '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis DAAAYYY]]'''!!!" Cue the Lamp pedestal erupting in flames and the water surrounding the pedestal turning into molten lava.

** As the heroes try to escape from the Cave, we get a shot of what's happening outside; the entrance is writhing and howling in what ''could' be rage, but looks very much more like agony, as everything inside is destroyed.

** The Cave [[OhCrap collapsing]] on itself as a FelonyMisdemeanor after Abu grabs the SchmuckBait ruby on the gorilla statue in the Lamp Chamber and presses the guardian's BerserkButton screaming "INFIDELS! You have touched the ''forbidden treasure''! Now you will never again see the [[PunctuatedForEmphasis light! Of!]] '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis DAAAAAAAYYYY]]'''!!! '''DIIIIIE'''!!!" Cue the Lamp pedestal erupting in flames and the water surrounding the pedestal turning into molten lava.

** Aladdin's plan is to claim that he's gonna find another way out, seemingly not convinced that the Genie can get them out of the cave. It may have been a plan to not waste his first wish but Genie [[BewareTheNiceOnes reminds him]] that he really is a being with '''''phenominal cosmic power'''''.

* Jasmine nearly suffocating in a giant hourglass. Aladdin's look of horror when he sees the girl he loves about to get buried alive, time literally running out for her. To add to that, the first time she refers to him by his real name was when she was begging him for help.

* Jasmine nearly suffocating in a giant hourglass.

* The [[RevisedEnding deleted ending]] where the Peddler reveals himself to be the Genie -cut for time, or because people would have left early and missed the gag, but maybe the REAL reason is that it would have ended the movie on an eerie note. This sequence has only been seen by the masses in [[http://youtu.be/ajg460zPxK0 storyboard form]], but the combination of the Peddler/Genie's ominous vocal tone, dramatic music in the background, the sudden unexpected "poof" transformation, and the fast pace of the sequence gives it a strong scare factor. Then, to top it off, the Genie "makes ya look" as in the final ending, except that he does so by letting out a really shrill scream.

* The movie's intro song "Arabian Nights" originally had much darker lyrics to an already dark song in hindsight to describe the setting of Aladdin. The lines about getting one's ear removed were eventually cut due to being deemed offensive to Arab-Americans and were changed shortly after being released.
-->''"Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place,\\
Where the caravan camels roam,\\
Where they cut off your ear,\\
If they don't like your face,\\
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home!"''

** FridgeBrilliance: In UsefulNotes/{{Islam}}, the Devil ''is'' a genie.
** Before that, how about [[ScaledUp his transformation into a giant cobra]]?
-->'''Aladdin:''' [[TemptingFate Are you afraid to fight me yourself, you cowardly snake!?]]\\
'''Jafar:''' A snake, am I? Perhaps you'd like to see how [[SssssnakeTalk sssssnake-like]] I can be!

* Jasmine nearly suffocating in a giant hourglass.
* The Carpet being unravelled and Abu being [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a wind-up toy]]. Carpet keeps desperately grabbing for the lamp as he's being unravelled, which adds some extra horror when one remembers he has human-strength sentience.
* Some of the Genie's faces are UncannyValley.
* Abu pulling the sword out of the sword swallower's mouth in "One Jump Ahead".
** Also from "One Jump Ahead", the guy on the bed of nails who gets ''stepped on'' by a guard. [[FridgeHorror That makes two likely fatalities in a single musical number.]]

* Jafar's [[LaughingMad insane]] [[EvilLaugh laughter]] at the end of [[DarkReprise Prince Ali Reprise]] and the shot of him slowly looming over Jasmine and the Sultan, who are both defenseless and utterly terrified. The whole scene shifting to a red tint with the music growing very intense as he does it doesn't help in the slightest.
-->'''Jafar''': Ex-Prince [=AliiiiiiiEEE=] HAHAHAHA! ''AHH HAHAHAHA!!'' '''''AHHHH HA HA HA!!!'''''
* [[http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/screencrush.com/files/2013/01/early_movie_concept_art_genie_aladdin.jpg The original concept art for Genie.]]
* Genie turned into a rotten zombie form while explaining to Aladdin that his powers forbid him from bringing dead people to life. Bonus points go to Aladdin's reaction to this if you've noticed it--looks like he's about to throw up!
** Also, Genie does an impression of ''Creator/PeterLorre'', just to put icing on the cake.

* Jasmine, still glowing with love after the "Whole New World" sequence, is in her room combing her hair. From behind her appears her father with glazed, red-tinted eyes, speaking in a CreepyMonotone, opening the other door to reveal a leering Jafar, her new husband, standing there. It's like something out of a horror movie.
** When Jafar hypnotizes the Sultan, it is usually just long enough to get him to agree with a single decision, after which he is left dazed for a moment before returning to normal. Apparently this has its limits, though, as the Sultan was able to break control when trying to convince him to marry Jasmine to him before. This time, Jafar is asserting ''direct control'', and it's terrifying. Jasmine's growing alarm at her father's state is painfully realistic to boot.

* The Carpet being unravelled and Abu being [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a wind-up toy]]. Carpet keeps desperately grabbing for the lamp as he's being unravelled, which adds some extra horror for those who believe he has human-strength sentience.

* The [[RevisedEnding deleted ending]] where the Peddler reveals himself to be the Genie - supposedly cut for time, or because people would have left early and missed the gag, but maybe the REAL reason is that it would have ended the movie on an eerie note.

Then, to top it off, the Genie "makes ya look" as in the final ending, except that he does so by letting out a really shrill scream.

* Just picture what would happen if Jafar succeeded in having Genie use his magic to make Jasmine fall in love with him.
