History NightmareFuel / TheRugratsMovie

The whole idea of toddlers being lost in the forest brings the series' inherent FridgeHorror to its utmost seriousness: this show is a long line of incidents in which helpless and naive infants ''are neglected to wander off on their own.'' So this is probably the darkest and most nightmare inducing of the whole ''Rugrats'' franchise.

* [[RageBreakingPoint Tommy finally snaps at Dil's selfishness]], and in his rage, very nearly pours mashed bananas onto Dil so the monkeys would take him away. It's thundering and raining the whole time, and Tommy just starts acting more and more crazy as he starts ranting about how much Dil has ruined his life. [[SurpriseCreepy Horrifying.]] BewareTheNiceOnes indeed!

-->'''Tommy''': You want monkeys? Oh! Ok, I'll give you monkeys. Oh, you have a monkey mommy, a monkey daddy, and a monkey ''brother!'' I should have let my friends take you back to the "hopsicle". But ''noooooo'', I said. He didn't ''mean'' it, I said. He was only ''playin'''! Well, I was WRONG! Now I don't even have friends! (''throws a diaper over his shoulder, the monkeys grab it'') Dil wants monkeys, and monkeys want the nanners. (''takes out the mashed bananas'') Ohhhh, '''''EVERYBODY GETS WHAT THEY WANT!'''''

** There’s also the fact that he comes so close to eating Angelica by herself not once, but twice and the first time she’s never even aware he’s behind her.

** Even as Spike fearlessly fights Scar Snout, the battle is pretty brutal. The wolf savagely rips off Spike's collar. Spike pins the wolf again, but the wolf forcefully swats him and sends him tumbling to the edge of the bridge handing for dear life! Angelica blows a raspberry to distract the wolf from killing Spike, and the wolf turns his attention to her! Spike leaps and bites the wolf's tail and the wolf's jaws slam shut ''inches'' from Angelica as Spike slowly drags him through a hole in the bridge. The wolf loses his grip, sending both canines plummeting into the river below. Fortunately, Spike survives by landing on the bridge's support arm.

-->'''Tommy''': You think this is funny?! Phil and Lil was right. You're a bad, naughty baby and you're ''never'' gonna get any better! I'm ''through'' being your big brother! I don't want my "sponsatility" NO MORE! (''tosses his watch away, the monkeys notice'')

** Scar Snout being sapient through ''WesternAnimation/RugratsGoWild'' connecting ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys'' indicates that a possible way of interpreting his character is that of a sadistic SerialKiller who knows [[WouldHurtAChild he's targeting human babies]].

** And also considering, those monkeys would've been drawn to the bananas and probably would've torn Dil apart. Considering he nearly kills his baby brother makes it even darker. Even he is disgusted when he sees his reflection, but that's only when, in that exact moment, the storm raging overhead unleashes a massive burst of lightning and crashing thunder, terrifying Dil when he sees the NightmareFace the storm casts on Tommy, causing him to finally have his HeelRealization [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone epiphany]], pleading for forgiveness from his big brother for his actions and protection from the storm.

* When Chuckie, Phil and Lil are in the thunderstorm where the lightning makes several trees resemble monsters. Then, lightning strikes one tree. They all run for cover and it seems to have crushed Phil...[[spoiler:but he's okay, he really only accidentally left his shoes behind]].

* [[KnightOfCerebus Scar Snout the wolf]] stalking the Rugrats and becoming ''very'' close to killing them [[BigDamnHeroes had it not been for Spike]]. There’s also the fact that he comes so close to eating Angelica by herself not once, but twice and the first time she’s never even aware he’s behind her.

* Not technically part of the movie, but the Klasky Csupo logo of Splaat (Super Scary Face) terrified a lot of children who first saw it at the end of the movie. In addition to the jarring nature of it [[MoodWhiplash as it comes directly after]] TheStinger, imagine being a child in the theater back when the movie first came out too.
