History NightmareFuel / AnimalJam

* In ''Dash Tag'', some of the pets' descriptions or traits [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs couldn't have come from a sane person.]] For example, some of the pets' favorite toys are [[AxeCrazy sharp objects, an axe, and a knife]].[[note]]This might have been an attempt at a DarkerAndEdgier turn.[[/note]]

*** The pumpkin patch has an array of weird-looking jack-o-lantern pumpkin carvings when you enter the area. Some of them are innocent enough, but then, you'll notice a few [[UncannyValley uncanny-looking one-eyed ones]] to a giant one with a rather ''[[NightmareFace nightmarish face]]'' carved onto it. The [[https://youtu.be/F3UBqP1HDQI matching background music]] doesn't even help any matter, complete with an [[OminousLatinChanting spine-chilling chanting]] being accompanied.

Yeah, ''Animal Jam'' may be your "average kid's game", with its [[SugarBowl sugary]] TastesLikeDiabetes look and happy animals, but that doesn't mean there's nothing nightmarish.

** The whole premise of the Proto-phantoms stealing all of the candies may be looked alright at first, but when you start playing with it, it wasn't just the Proto-phantoms that was around, the ''normal'' phantoms that you kill in normal adventures are also present. And it wasn't just the worst part: you are playing the adventure as your pet you selected. And those phantoms there ARE SO ANNOYING to handle. Once struck, '''you are automatically lost your life and forced to revive again!''' Thankfully, this feature is already discontinued, as the normal phantoms are now removed, leaving the adventure being played much easier.

*** [[CreepyCemetery The graveyard]] located on the middle left of the adventure was an unsettling place, complete with irregular-sized tombstones being placed everywhere and creepy-looking trees. There are even two tombstones that turn out being interactive, in which one of them is ''a weird-looking blob with lots of eyes popping out the headstone'', and the second opens ''a mouth-like door opens wide and a ghost comes out from the said tombstones''. The [[https://youtu.be/FFo8AcUQY8w music that accompanies it]] is rather eerie.
*** The [[https://youtu.be/F3UBqP1HDQI pumpkin patch music]] has creepy chanting in the background.

** The surrounding place that you played in has a creepy case of [[SurrealHorror Surreal Horror]], with the accompanying music that fits the background ''so well''. Here are a few examples:

* The "[[HandInTheHole reach arm into hole]]" choice in "Brady's Expeditions" involves a [[BigCreepyCrawlies giant]] uncannily lifelike [[CreepyCentipedes centipede]] grasping onto Brady Barr's hand.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL3z5gLc-Kg Conversation Museum theme]] [[AccidentalNightmareFuel accidentally]] sounds like a horror theme. Some describe it as if a murder happened.

* Ever wonder when you get electrocuted by a Phantom (in Adventures) and then get recovered by a floating Zios object? When you are touched by a Phantom, a message appears saying that you fell in a deep sleep from the phantoms, [[NeverSayDie but it actually means you (yes, ''you'') are dead from getting electrocuted]], but you're lucky to be resurrected from that floating Zios object.
** FridgeHorror: Does this mean that if some animals in the canyon couldn't make it in the resurrecting Zios chamber, they just... die?

* The whole premise of phantoms, AnthropomorphicPersonification of pollution, destroying Jamaa, turning it from a bright, colorful GhibliHills SugarBowl to [[SugarApocalypse dark, frightening]] {{Mordor}}-like PollutedWasteland and kidnapping innocent animal citizens. And you thought pollution in RealLife couldn't be that scary...
