*** Lampwick completely destroying the pool hall with his hind legs, kicking off all of his clothes and thus the last signs of his former humanity. Even worse, at some points even while braying he ''still'' sounds like [[AndIMustScream he's screaming for help]], and even ''hyperventilating''. The final time Lampwick screams for his mother; you can hear his voice reducing itself to a mere bray as he screams at the top of his lungs. By the time he hits the floor, all he can do is bray helplessly. Then he flees the scene immediately after he has transformed, vanishing from sight and leaving his fate unknown. While a deleted scene indicates he was captured just like the others, not including it actually makes things ''worse;'' even if he escaped, his life from then on was surely a cruel and horrible existence.

*** There is a hint of real life Nightmare Fuel since the children's fate can be considered applicable to all forms of child exploitation and human trafficking. Adding to that, Pleasure Island is apparently well known enough to have a law against it, and yet the Coachman is still able to take hordes of unsuspecting boys there seemingly every night with no fear of repercussions. A sobering reality of how easy it can be to circumvent any laws made for child protection if one is wicked enough.

** And after the boys are shown having a great time at the place, [[SceneryGorn it then cuts to the place looking utterly TRASHED, with the whole place destroyed and completely devoid of human life]]. [[NothingIsScarier What exactly happened here?]]
** The Coachman ''locks the gates'' to the Island after letting the boys loose, and tells his henchmen to prepare the cages. Even if any of the boys had second thoughts, there's no escape after this point, they're doomed from the moment they set foot on Pleasure Island.
