History NightmareFuel / TrollsWorldTour

** Poppy's meeting with Barb is unnerving for good reason. Barb is constantly tainting Poppy and her Pop genre while showing off at the same time that [[NotSoDifferentRemark they share many of the same problems]]. They care for their respective people and wish for every Troll Tribe to be united, even if they have different views in the way to do it, with Barb taking the same method as the Pop Trolls' ancestors. While this comes to an easy understanding, since Barb had addressed it earlier in the movie, it gets especially horrifying due to how much pressure is applied into the situation that Poppy finds herself in, being already set to be converted into a Rock Zombie.

** Even worse in itself is that the Trolls are basically being ''chained'' to music, if that's anything to tell further. While the Bergens' desire for happiness in the first movie was understandable due to their obliviousness to things, it's not really for the Trolls' sound and beat. While the movie portrays it as a positive thing, you wouldn't like to believe what would happen had you been ''just dependent on music the whole time'', especially when there could be a supposed "risk" of someone else trying to forcibly change it into another genre like with the story of the Strings. It's worsened further by the fact that the Trolls almost came close to falling into ''absolute despair'' after the destruction of the Strings.

* Speaking of brainwashing, Chaz's use of it may count in too, even if he also does it for the sake of others' amusement. While what we get to see in internal thoughts was mostly meant for humor, their bizarre nature can get very unsettling for many. They're particularly comparable to the SurrealHorror of ''NightmareFuel/DontHugMeImScared''.

** Branch shows that, while being mostly overcautious, remains pretty weak when it comes to being manipulated through music, as seen in how the K-Pop Gang and Reggaeton Trolls capture him. A bit of this was already seen when Branch said he liked "Born to Die", and you could only be horrified by the fact that if anything, music is a pretty huge weakness for Branch when it comes to meeting strangers.

* Speaking of the Strings, Chaz's brainwashing may count in too, even if he also does it for the sake of others' amusement. While it all just appears to be romance, the expressions of the subjected Trolls and context of the topic in general is enough to think of what they might be thinking at the time, which can double as {{Squick}} if you're not tolerant of it. His hunting tactic also proves to be very efficient and unusual for capturing, which could only make you think how the gang could have gotten into had Hickory not intervened in time, or even how it could work in ''a real-life kidnap.''

* The Strings. Just the Strings themselves. They're not really scary at first glance, but the fact that they're capable of brainwashing other Trolls into a desired genre together is very horrifying in itself. Imagine being only able of thinking of a specific music genre without an end, all while doing nothing else until someone calls you to do something... Made even scarier by the fact that under the Ultimate Power Chord, Barb could easily treat them like mere working robots.

* The moment Poppy and Branch separate, while mostly a simple TearJerker, retains some scary aspects.
