** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr7khtV7GAs The uncut version]] cranks it up to eleven and yanks the knob off. Not only do we get an unsettling close up of the boat monster, but the hellhound slinks down to Charlie and bellows in his face "'''Now, you are MINE!'''" Is it any surprise that this was cut for being too scary for children?

* The ''vivid'' depiction of FireAndBrimstoneHell from [[NightmareSequence Charlie's nightmare]], forever putting the fear of divine punishment and existential dread into God-fearing children. Charlie imagines that his [[SoulJar pocket watch]] has stopped, thereby ending his borrowed time, as he hears the Heavenly Whippet's voice echo "You can never come back." Suddenly, his watch ''explodes'' and he's sucked into a storm of green lightning towards a vortex, where a tornado bursts from the ground and pulls him down into a lava pit onto a ship made of bones that's sinking into the river. He's met by a hideous rat/bat/skeleton hybrid who roars at him as he tries to get away onto the ship's bow, only for a gigantic hellhound (heavily implied to be the canine version of [[TheDevil Old Scratch]] himself) to burst flaming out of the bubbling lava in front of him with a dinosaur-like roar, then send several imps after Charlie to bite and tear at him as his ship sinks further and further into the lava. The last thing he hears before waking up is the monster bellowing with the VoiceOfTheLegion "'''[[ArcWords YOU CAN]]''' '''''[[ArcWords NEVER]]''''' '''[[ArcWords GO BACK!!]]''' There's a little NightmareRetardant when the imps turn out to be Flo's puppies trying to wake him up; also, the fact that Charlie has unconsciously taken refuge on the end of a broom.

** The very real possibility that Annabelle, an angel, actually ''[[BewareTheNiceOnes killed]]'' [[BewareTheNiceOnes her cousin.]]

* After Red is defeated, Carface shrugs him off, only for Red's voice to suddenly bellow from beneath that Carface ''legally sold his soul'' to him, with a terrified Carface promptly DraggedDownToHell. To worsen this, it is never elaborated how Carface possibly managed to escape this FateWorseThanDeath in the TV series.

''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'' may have been known as a film that was defeated at box office by the director's [[WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}} former employers]], but given that's it's director is none than fellow scare master Don Bluth, there can be no doubt about this: this is bound to be one ''creepy'' good time locked and loaded with terrifying moments that show us the real dangers of mortality and the afterlife, to the point it makes the MPAA's G rating for the mvoie all the more dubious. Just hope that you won't be needing a therapy session after you finish reading...

''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'' may have been known as the film that was defeated at box office by [[WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}} Bluth's former employers]], but look closer, and you'll see that it is in fact, a ''creepy'' film that somehow received a G rating by the MPAA. As such, this film is locked and loaded with terrifying moments that show us the real dangers of the afterlife, as well as the morality of animals. And when the very beginning of the film actually has the main character being murdered while drunk, you have just been giving a one-way ticket to therapy.

[[caption-width-right:350:...I can't tell which is worse: [[ComicallyMissingThePoint The pi]][[NightmareRetardant nk smoke]], or ''the'' '''''Devil Dog'''''.]]

* Charlie returning to Anne Marie, at least at first. A giant fiery figure, strongly implied to be Satan himself, looms over the town in the distance, turning the sky red as blood-red smoke billows through the streets. The smoke pours into Anne Marie's open window and for a second, it looks as if the devil is coming for her (it's just Charlie's ghost floating in). The implication is that Charlie has either come back from hell or was in limbo and the devil was coming for him. The devil even calls out to Charlie from the streets... not with the bellowing roar he gave in Hell, but with a malevolent, grinning whisper, knowing that Charlie can no longer escape his fate. He knows exactly where he is. And he can wait. (Though thankfully the Whippet Angel appears and banishes the demon before welcoming Charlie back to Heaven for his HeroicSacrifice.)

This is a ''creepy'' film.

*** The monster in the distance shares a silhouette with the creature identified, by [[WordOfGod Don Bluth]], as a hellhound in Charlie's nightmare from earlier in the film. That name alone implies that the thing we see '''isn't even the biggest or baddest demon out there.'''

This is a ''creepy-ass'' film series. Case in point: the page picture? That terrifying bulldog? ''He's the franchise ButtMonkey''.

** Creator/DonBluth used the same technique he'd used with the tractor from ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'' and the Giant Mouse of Minsk in ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' for the sinking ship of bones by {{rotoscoping}} to make it look [[UncannyValley creepy and out of place]].

* Until Charlie is saved by the BigLippedAlligatorMoment, for a second it looks as if Anne Marie was going to be ForcedToWatch ''a huge monster eat her dog!''
* The absolute gut-wrenching tension of watching Charlie's pocket watch at the bottom of the river filing up with water. The second we see it ticking irregularly, knowing that any one of those ticks is going to be the last, Charlie winces in pain, then dives [[HopeSpot down as fast as he can to get it]]. We cut back to the watch one last time... [[WhamShot just in time to see it stop]]. Cue the whole frame getting obscured by inky black bubbles. And like his murder, we [[NothingIsScarier never see Charlie's body]].
* Charlie's murder. Especially terrifying in that to him, everything is perfectly fine: he's out of jail, everyone's happy to see him and he's off to start his own business with half of his partner's profits. He then goes out to celebrate with his friends and gets so drunk that he can't tell that he's being lead to a trap or that his best friend is screaming at you to warn you until it's too late. And the whole thing happens so fast that it actually ''feels'' like you've been hit by a car! Charlie doesn't even realize something's up for a few minutes until he's told point-blank that he died.
** Oddly enough, [[HellOfAHeaven heaven is like this too]]. Part of it is the MoodWhiplash from a deep, frighting crime related death scene of the main character to a fluffy sugar bowl based afterlife, the strangely calming music and the overly nice and law-abiding dog angel. And this is just a tiny part of it that we see. It all seems too perfect (which is why Charlie immediately hates it), and it is, because there's a catch: you can either spend eternity stuck in this boring, sweet place or being damned to hell for trying to go back to earth ([[FridgeHorror which many people/dogs who died unexpectedly most likely did]]).
** The fact that (unlike Carface later on) Charlie is never told outright that turning the watch back will damn his soul forever. He knows he's not allowed to and he knows it will make the Whippet Angel mad, but at that point he's lived a life of beating the system easily. The watch isn't exactly under lock and key. It's a frighteningly tempting position to be in, because as far as he knew, he could have lived long life and returned to a smack on the wrist.

* Upon returning to life, Charlie drags himself up from the water, gasping and frantic and a sickly grey color. It takes his life watch a good ten seconds to start ticking, and only ''then'' does his color change back and his ability to breathe return. He was basically ''a living corpse.'' If you look closely, you can even see [[BodyHorror his spine reforming]].
** Itchy later says that [[FridgeHorror Charlie's hand are cold]].

* Carface's vision of his fate in ''An All Dogs Christmas Carol'', despite being (or rather because it is) [[LyricalDissonance a catchy gospel number]].
* Belladonna has her moments, like transforming into a naga-like monster at the end. She gets [[AntiClimaxBoss defeated immediately]] by [[KillItWithIce Annabelle's snow]].
