** And when Professor Knight was quizzing Mike on the different types of scaring techniques...imagine if a more frightening monster adopted those techniques...
*** Sulley is shown practicing one of them later, so there you go.

* Just...[[https://youtu.be/tHqAIZgFfOA?t=109 this]]. This is the scene where Mike scares the scare test dummy. And it is, actually intimidating! This is perhaps the '''only time''' Mike Wazowski came off as actually SCARY! How scary? That's HIM in the image for this page.

** The buildup to the JumpScare also deserves mention. After baiting the animatronic child to wake up and scan the room and hearing Johnny's roar outside as he completes his round, He lays below the robot's line of sight, almost appearing to have last-second cold feet. As he closes his eye, he begins to have auditory flashbacks of every doubter who has ever discouraged him from being a scarer as he closed his eye, and when he opens his eye, [[NothingIsScarier everything just seems to stop]]. The cheers and jeers outside fall silent, the voices fade, and the music stops. THEN his lets out his MagnumOpus of a fright!

* Abigail Hardscrabble, the Dean of the School of Scaring. She looks like a centipede combined with a dragon...and one has to wonder how she would look like when she's scaring kids... Even Professor Knight, who states that he doesn't scare easily, has [[OhCrap obvious fear on his face]] when Hardscrabble arrived. Mike was probably onto something when she called her out to Randal about her being a legend in the scaring community.

''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'' is another movie about monsters scaring children. [[RunningGag What'd you expect again?]] [softreturn]

* When Hardscrabble "tests" Sulley in the Scare Exams, she mentions that a wrong scream at the wrong time would mean more than toxicity from a child. If a ''parent'' ever learns that the existence of monsters, let alone Monstropolis is both real and scientifically valid, it would be the end of monster civilization. Being a Scarer just became a whole lot more terrifying, not for the child, ''but for the monster''. It's like something along the lines of a nuclear technician having to operate the cooling rods by hand, every minute having to utilize a completely different strategy, and the slightest slipup could mean disaster ranging from spending the rest of your life in fear of getting killed by humans to [[AlienInvasion a possible mass-extinction level]] [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt event of biblical proportions.]]

* [[UncannyValley The crash test dummy-esque child models used in the scare simulators.]] Although the tampered-with one was played for laughs, the screaming noise they make is quite loud, coupled with the the fact that they jerk up so suddenly. Also, the tampered-with model has been broken to the point that EVERY motion sets it off...

* The scene where Mike realizes that none of the ''human'' girls are scared by him and slowly come closer to him as he cowers in fear due to his belief that human children are deadly.

It's [[WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity a film]] about monsters still scaring children. [[RunningGag What'd you expect again?]] [softreturn]

** Props to the scene where Mike and Sulley successfully scare the adults. Definitely tops the "''TOYS ARE ALIVE''" scene from the first ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''.

* In the prologue, Mike's teacher's AdultFear when she found out that Mike has followed the Scarer into the Human World.

* The extremely grotesque swelling from being simply touched by the poison urchins.

*** Though when Squishy ''swallows'' one, it's pretty funny.

** Even Professor Knight, who states that he doesn't scare easily, has [[OhCrap obvious fear on his face]] when Hardscrabble arrived.
* The Eta Hiss Hiss Sorority (or better known as HSS in the film). Goth look, spikes and piercings...and apparently Abigail Hardscrabble was one of its members before she became the Dean of the School of Scaring. When their Sorority's name was announced in the Scare Games, the leader Rosie Levin, let out a hiss that was unsettling like a snake...
** WordOfGod states that Rosie Levin has a black belt in Chew-jitsu.

** Even if Sulley didn't rig the test dummy, Mike would've actually scared it for sure.

It's still about monsters scaring children. [[RunningGag What'd you expect again?]] [softreturn]
