** In the part where Pee-Wee is driving at night while Mickey is sleeping, Pee-Wee finds the road signs which somewhat trolls him by intentionally changing while Pee-Wee follows the road sign, only to change it into a sign that says a cliff is near, (WARNING! This may make your ears bleed.) casuing Pee-Wee and Mickey to '''''fall off with the car [[SensoryAbuse while both Pee-Wee and Mickey scream in terror]] due to that fact that they’re gonna die,''''' thankfully though, Mickey’s car has a built in parachute in it, and they get down safely, but still, the fact that Pee-Wee and Mickey are about to die and almost commit suicide, that’s like something out of a horror movie! And the screams from Pee-Wee and Mickey due to going to die doesn't help. However, [[FromBadToWorse it gets worse]].

What about the scene where Pee-Wee and Mickey fall off?


** See also the sequence where Pee Wee's bike is initially stolen; the formerly smiling, cheery mechanical clown he'd shackled his bike to suddenly adopts a pretty terrifying leer and a cackle sounds off.

** The whole movie has an indefinable creepy vibe to it, really, even the non-scary scenes. Pee Wee's (and Francis') ManChild nature is can really be unnerving more than amusing. And yeah, Music/DannyElfman's Circus of Fear BGM ramped things up.

* The scene where we first meet Edward, and, brandishing his scissorhands, he creeps out of the shadows and walks slowly towards the camera with the above-mentioned unsettling scared expression on his face as the music becomes dark and almost sinister.
* Edward's overall situation is very grim. Imagine being forced to have scissor-like hands with no way of having them replaced with normal hands and always having to be careful you don't injure someone with them. And his fate at the end is also incredibly depressing (see above).

* A RealLife example would be his stories about his brief stint at Disney animating ''Disney/TheFoxAndTheHound'', which involve graphic scenes of animalistic outbursts and gory self-mutilation.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiAonyJIV_A scene]] where Jack Napier gets his first look at his new makeover, the creepy atmosphere is only compounded when Jack Napier [[LaughingMad begins]] [[HellIsThatNoise cackling]] after it seemed like he began sobbing, and [[NothingIsScarier then the lightbulb is smashed and we don't get a clear look at Jack's disfigurement.]] The final laugh is just the icing on the nightmare cake...
* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE50BPPvzEs scene]] where Vicky splashes off the Joker's fleshy makeup. He covers his face and pops back up laughing and looks like a giant cackling skull with the skin torn right off!
* One particular [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n4s-lkYm0w scene]] that can creep people out is when the Joker takes one of his men by the hand and electrocutes him to death with a buzzer eventually causing the skin to melt off his face.
* The Smylex commercials, and the female newscaster who died with the Joker's smile on her face. And the fact that this was the ''short'' version.

** Then of course, we have the Witch. Sure, she's a LargeHam who arms herself with candy cane ''nunchucks'' at one poing, but her creepy appearance, candy cane nose, and bone-chilling shriek are enough to give any little kid nightmares.

* ''Hansel and Gretel'', a short that was shown only once on Disney Channel[[note]]The Disney execs deemed it to scary for younger audiences, so it never aired again[[/note]], on Halloween 1983. There's a very creepy-looking Gingerbread Man. Let's just say its eye meets a candy cane.
