'''Waternoose''': ''(Shouting, slowly standing taller over Sulley)'' I'll kidnap a ''[[MoralEventHorizon thousand]]'' children before I let this company die! And I'll silence ''ANYONE'' WHO GETS IN MY WAY!!\\

* The first scene can be frightening to anyone afraid of the idea of monsters lurking around in their bedroom at night, as evident in the shot of a monster's glowing eyes under a boy's bed. This is later averted, however, when the whole thing is revealed to be a simulation gone wrong.

* The Scream Extractor, a machine that clamps over the mouth of the restrained victim and forcibly extracts the scream. It is demonstrated that it extracts the ''breath'' as well as the screaming. Had Sulley and Mike been unable to save Boo, it was Randall's and Mr. Waternoose's stated intent to have the Scream Extractor either leave her and other children) a dead, withered husk or worse, kept to low power, in which they would have been [[AndIMustScream trapped in it indefinitely having the scream drained from them 24/7.]] According to the DVDCommentary, the scene where Sulley rescues Boo, the walls to the corridor leading to Randall's secret lair, were supposed to lined with cages, implying that they were ready to take the operation full scale as soon as possible. The idea was scrapped because the scene where Boo strapped to a chair was disturbing enough.

** In another scary scene, Boo runs away from Sulley after finding out he knows her door is fixed (which he broke earlier in the story) but did not tell her. Eventually, she becomes lost and, in a moment straight out of ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarves'', inanimate objects suddenly ''come alive''! Trash cans, street lights and even sewer grates suddenly grow eyes and mouths with sharp teeth and start closing in on her.
* While on the run with Boo, Sulley is forced to give a demonstration of his scaring technique, letting us see just how this lovable, cuddly guy came close to getting the most screams in the company's history as he gives a ferocious roar straight to the camera. Even worse for Boo having to see her Kitty turn into a monster with absolutely no warning. Keep in mind that, other than a few comedic demonstrations throughout the movie (his training with Mike and showing Waternoose the "Jump and growl"), we had never seen Sulley scaring children until now.

It is a film about monsters scaring children. What'd you expect? [softreturn]

** In another scene, Mike is trying to escape from Randall. He ends up in a hallway next to a portrait of Mr. Waternoose and thinks he has lost him... and then Mr. Waternoose's portrait suddenly ''blinks''. It is Randall, blending into the colors of the portrait. Needless to say, the audience's reaction mirrors the one Mike has when he turns around to see Randall standing behind him.
** The scene of Sulley being strangled by an invisible Randall. It is mixed in with the comedy of Mike being completely oblivious, but hearing his breath slowly leak out as well as the dramatic music is very disturbing. Especially considering the fact that you can ''see'' his neck getting crushed.

* Randall's sinister entrance when he opens the door to the Himalayas and Mr. Waternoose's statement to Sulley and Mike, "It's yours."
** It should be noted that Mr. Waternoose's pose after he pushes Sulley and Mike out the door is quite intimidating. Sulley quickly tries to run back inside, but Mr. Waternoose closes the door and the room has disappeared by the time Sulley opens it.
* The Scream Extractor, a machine that clamps over the mouth of the restrained victim and forcibly extracts the scream. It is demonstrated that it extracts the ''breath'' as well as the screaming. Had Sulley and Mike been unable to save Boo, it was Randall's and Mr. Waternoose's stated intent to have the Scream Extractor either leave her and other children) a dead, withered husk or worse, kept to low power, in which they would have been [[AndIMustScream trapped in it indefinitely having the scream drained from them 24 / 7.]]

The idea was scrapped because the scene where Boo strapped to a chair was disturbing enough.

** There is also the chase scene in general - while his design as a crab / [[SpidersAreScary spider]] monster has never been the most comforting thing, Mr. Waternoose has never been shown making any sudden or drastic movements in the way many are freaked out of those animals over. The sight of a furious six-legged monster ''rapidly'' scuttling down a hallway after Sulley, with some of his legs briefly running along the wall to boot, can be a terrifying sight for anyone who is creeped out by the way crustaceans or arachnids can move.

* In the second DVD, there is a feature of the original treatment for Monsters, Inc. In one particular scary scene, Boo is hiding from Sulley's landlady, whose eyestalks can stretch and slither about like snakes.

(''he backhands Sully hard enough to knock him to the floor, then seemingly grabs Boo with the clear intent to [[WouldHurtAChild strangle her to death]].'')

** In another scary scene, Boo runs away from Sully after finding out he knows her door is fixed (which he broke earlier in the story) but did not tell her. Eventually, she becomes lost and, in a moment straight out of ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarves'', inanimate objects suddenly ''come alive''!

Even worse for Boo having to see her Kitty turn into a monster with absolutely no warning.

* Though Boo "rampaging" Mike and Sulley's apartment is quite hilarious, there's a brief bit where she "corners" Sulley. Her eyes were totally focused on him and when she tosses the CD's she was holding aside, she keeps looking at him and keeps walking. She almost looks zombielike as she does this, right down to her hands reaching out.

* In the second DVD, there is a feature of the original treatment for Monsters Inc. In one particular scary scene, Boo is hiding from Sully's landlady, whose eyestalks can stretch and slither about like snakes.

** Then just when it seems Sulley has returned Boo to her bed safe and sound, ''Waternoose suddenly appears through the bedroom door''.

** In another scene, Mike is trying to escape from Randall. He ends up in a hallway next to a portrait of Mr. Waternoose and thinks he's lost him...and then Mr. Waternoose's portrait suddenly ''blinks''. It's Randall, blending into the colors of the portrait. Needless to say, the audience's reaction mirrors the one Mike has when he turns around to see Randall standing behind him.

* Overlapping with ParanoiaFuel, Randall uses his invisibility to absolutely chilling effect against Sulley. Since he's invisible to the audience too, we're held up in suspense once he disappears and starts scampering all over the place. An especially effective moment is when Sulley and Boo are hiding on the scare floor... and Randall materializes ''right beside them.''

* The Scream Extractor, a machine that clamps over the mouth of the restrained victim and forcibly extracts the scream. It's demonstrated that it extracts the ''breath'' as well as the screaming. Had Sulley and Mike been unable to save Boo, it was Randall's and Waternoose's stated intent to have the Scream Extractor either leave her and other children) a dead, withered husk or worse, kept to low power, in which they would have been [[AndIMustScream trapped in it indefinitely having the scream drained from them 24/7.]]

* If you don't find it funny due to his over-the-top reactions, Sully mistakenly believing his beloved Boo is in the trash disposal machine is this, as poor Sulley honestly believes Boo is being horribly mangled to death.

** In another scene, Mike is trying to escape from Randall. He ends up in a hallway next to a portrait of Waternoose and thinks he's lost him...and then Waternoose's portrait suddenly ''blinks''.

The idea was scrapped because the scene where Boo strapped to a chair was disturbing enough.

* During the final confrontation with Waternoose, Sulley runs away with Boo into the Scare Simulator room, and attempts to lock the door shut with a piece of a metal pipe. Thanks to some pretty impressive lighting, Waternoose slowly bashing his way in actually makes him look quite threatening.

* While on the run with Boo, Sully is forced to give a demonstration of his scaring technique, letting us see just how this lovable, cuddly guy came close to getting the most screams in the company's history as he gives a ferocious roar straight to the camera. Even worse for Boo having to see her Kitty turn into a monster with zero warning.
