* As a general rule of thumb, the movie is considered LighterAndSofter in more aspects than the book, so therefore has less examples.

* There's also the fact that [[spoiler: Mr. Harvey effectively gets away not only with Susie's murder, but the murder of plenty of other girls too. The best consolation is that he later dies in a way that implies Susie could have been behind it.]]

* In the film, the murder itself is never shown. However, we do get a scene of Susie watching her murderer cleaning the blood off himself in a bath. ''Her'' blood. We also see the sack with her body in it. Even though we don't see any pieces, we do see Mr. Harvey throwing it into the safe. [[spoiler:This only makes the scene at the end with the sinkhole even creepier when you remember that the safe being tossed in has a ''dismembered fourteen-year-old girl'' inside of it!]]

** Stanley Tucci's whole portrayal of Mr. Harvey is scary as hell. Even before killing Susie, his mannerisms and behavior towards her are bone-chilling.

* The scene where Lindsey finds the book detailing Mr. Harvey's plans to murder Susie. It may have been an SugarWiki/{{Awesome Moment|s}} for her in that she got away, but she comes ''so close'' to getting caught. Even when she knows Mr. Harvey has come home, she's still reading the book until she hears him run upstairs.

* The expression on Mr. Harvey's face when he takes the washcloth off after killing Susie is borderline ''demonic''. You almost expect him to growl like an animal.

* The sentence "My delicious death moan." never fails to send a chill down this troper's spine.

* How about the scene where Lindsey finds the book detailing Mr. Harvey's plans to murder Susie? It may have been an SugarWiki/{{Awesome Moment|s}} for her in that she got away, but she comes ''so close'' to getting caught.

* The sentence "My delicious death moan." never fails to send a chill down my spine.

* The phrase "delicious death moan" never fails to send a chill down my spine.

* Perhaps the least bothersome example, but sex in a creepy broken down old house probably isn't as romantic to others as it is to Lindsey and Samuel.

* As a general rule of thumb the movie is considered LighterAndSofter in some respects than the book. So more Nightmarefuel Examples
* There's the prominent real life worry that if your child doesn't come home, she may have been murdered.
* Susie's rape is described in person with detail. It's not that long but is plenty to get creeped out about.
* Susie is raped then cut into little pieces. The only things they ever find of her are her hat, a charm off her bracelet, and her elbow, found by the neighbor's pet dog.
** It's also worth noting Susie mentions it takes her a little time before we can look down on Earth which she describes as having to "fit her limbs together", which may be literal for someone who was cut into pieces by her killer.
* When Lindsey is in Harvey's house, Susie sees echoes of his other victims in which she gives a rundown of the former victims everyone just reads very creepy.
* There's also the fact that [[spoiler: the killer effectively gets away with the murder, and the murder of plenty of other girls. The best consolation is that he dies later in a way that implies Susie could have behind it.]]
* Ruth gets a glimpse of the ghostly deceased women and animals coming out of Harvey's house and following him as he drives down the street. The women are described in bloody clothes and that when Harvey is stopped by a cop Susie describes it like a sea of body parts filling up his car.
* And perhaps the least bothersome example, but sex in a creepy broken down old house probably isn't as romantic to others as Lindsey and Samuel.
