History NightmareFuel / CrashBandicoot3Warped

* Think the GameOver screen of the second game was bad? The third game has Uka Uka ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpYjELSAiog screaming GAME OVER right on your face]]'' while he's very close to the screen making a demonic expression, with Creator/ClancyBrown's delivery making him sound like he's making you cement the fact that your journey has ended, in your doom. Add to the fact that the usually blue hyperspace background is now colored a sinister red.

-->'''Uka Uka:''' And as a matter of fact, ''[[SuddenlyShouting we're FURIOUS!!!!]]'' [[WhamLine But you seem to have overlooked one small detail, you little orange delivery boy.]] [[MortonsFork Now that you have gathered all of the crystals, all ''we'' need to do....is TAKE THEM FROM YOU!!!]]

* The intro. The moment Uka Uka is free he lets out unsettling [[EvilLaugh evil laughs]]. If that wasn't enough the first time we set our eyes on him is the scene where he scolds Cortex for failing twice in the past, all while done in darkness with his creepy voice.

** A ''Triceratops'' will play the role of the polar bear and the classic boulders. He also has BlackEyesOfEvil but this time, when Crash reaches an edge, the dinosaur will just wait till you restart the runaway. If he catches you, he'll repeatedly trample you.

* The level "Bug Lite" especially. If you don't have a firefly with you you'll be in darkness with many of the scary enemies about.
* The secret warp room which reveals the true nature of Cortex's Lab Assistants: they are androids. The factory provides them with human-like appearances and costumes depending on the levels.
* The final battle against Cortex where you have to dodge Aku-Aku and Uka-Uka's beams or else you will disintegrate. It's quite creepy that you have to dodge the powerful beams of your biggest ally in the games.

* Certain cutscenes begins with Uka Uka ''[[JumpScare immediately]]'' appearing, controlling Cortex.

* Before the final boss, one more hologram cutscene begins. You expect a tantrum from Cortex like you got from the previous four bosses, but instead Cortex just chuckles in a rather eerie tone for a lengthy while. Given you've collected all 25 crystal he laments he probably ''should'' be rather angry...

-->'''Cortex:''' Who...what?! Where was I?

* The true ending. Sure it might look funny at the first glance, but it doesn't change the fact that [[spoiler:after being engulfed in the massive warp ball, N. Tropy and Cortex are reduced into infants and sitting on a strange chunk of land with the warp hyperspace in the background; i.e ''nowhere''. A "gentle" yet unusually brutal way of finishing villains.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:None have dared to fail the great Uka-Uka even ''once!'' But you, Cortex, '''''you have failed me TWICE!!!''''']]

[[caption-width-right:350:None have dared to fail the great Uka-Uka even ''once''! But you, Cortex, '''''you have failed me TWICE!!!''''']]

[[caption-width-right:350:You lost the gems.. you lost the crystals.. AND I HAVE LOST MY PATIENCE!!!]]

** The Cortex scientist mooks with black capes waiting for Crash like a predator patiently waits for its prey.
* The futuristic levels contain ovaloid machines that will disintegrate you with a single touch, giant skull-faced robots, robotic shells with spikes and Cortex scientist mooks with UFO-like abduction beams.

* The Arabian Nights levels have the covered faced men that throw bombs to lit fire and can only be defeated with the bazooka. Their design look [[UncannyValley very human]] and aren't clearly your typical scientist mook (barring their redesign in ''N-Sane Trilogy'').

* One particular cutscene begins with Uka Uka ''[[JumpScare immediately]]'' appearing, controlling Cortex.

-->'''Uka Uka:''' Why, ''why'' must you continue to be a thorn on our ''side''?!

-->'''Uka Uka:''' Why, ''why'' must you continue to be a thorn on our side?!

* One particular cutscene has Cortex wearing Uka Uka as a mask...and Uka proceeds to control him. ''Easily''.
-->'''Uka Uka:''' '''"Why, why must you continue to be a thorn on our side?!"'''
-->''(Uka Uka floats off of Cortex)''
-->'''Cortex:''' Wh-What?! Where was I?

** The futuristic deaths are not exactly funny either. Touching the wrong part of the ovaloid machines, the UFO, or the skull-faced robots results in a [[ScareChord very loud buzzing noise]] while Crash is suddenly phased out of existence. Barring perhaps the [[SuperDrowningSkills macabre drowning animation]] from ''Cortex Strikes Back'' (which also appears here), it's probably the most unsettling death animation of the entire series.
