Considering Josh Boone himself said that this film is "the hardest PG-13 ever made" and inspired by possibly one of the scariest films ever made, Film/TheShining, this film is DarkerAndEdgier and scarier than the main X-Men movies, possibly even the R-rated ones, and puts the ''Horror'' in SuperheroHorror.

The fact that the original Nightmare Fuel page was made ''nearly 3 years'' before the movie proper got released should tell you just how scary it is...

They truly saved the scariest for the last.

While ''Film/{{Logan}}'' and ''Film/Deadpool2016'' have their truly scary moments even by X-Men standards, the final film of the X-Men saga, ''The New Mutants'' managed to top'em all in the Nightmare Fuel category.

With DarkerAndEdgier settings, and the New Mutants's far more tragic past, JumpScares and all, ''The New Mutants'' puts the ''horror'' in SuperheroHorror. Creator/JoshBoone wasn't lying when he said that "this film will be a horror film" and that this film "will be the hardest PG-13 ever made".

* The supposed hospital that the the New Mutants are stuck in gives off a creepy abandoned haunted house vibe.
* Sam Guthrie goes to investigate something moving in a dryer when a burning hand comes into frame.
* Illyana and Sam stumble upon a little girl's room ... and a man with a smiley face mask. The camera cuts away before we can see his face, but from Illyana and Sam's reactions, it is not a pretty sight.

* A face forms in the walls a la A Nightmare on Elm Street.
* The pan across the rows upon rows of gravestones, all bearing nothing but numbers, implying that not only have scores of mutants died there, but that their "caretakers" are so callous, they don't even see them as people.
* We see Cecilia Reyes injured with severe claw marks on her face.
* How about that shot in the second trailer where Roberto says that he burned his girlfriend as a shot plays with him in a pool with his girlfriend's burnt and skeletal arm crawling up his back?
