Line #6 NightmareFuel/AceVentura


1	Yes. Even Creator/JimCarrey movies can have creepy moments.
2	----
3	!!''Ace Ventura: Pet Detective''
4	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2020_03_11_ace_ventura_the_shark_tank_its_not_snowflake.jpg]]
5	[[caption-width-right:350:''"It's not Snowflake! IT'S NOT SNOWFLAKE!"'']]
6	* The scene in the first movie when Ace snoops around a mansion expecting to find the missing dolphin in a large swimming pool and instead finds [[ThreateningShark a great white shark]], giving him an OhCrap reaction. "It's not Snowflake!" indeed.
7	** The moment when Ace actually falls into the tank seconds after discovering it's a shark.
8	---> "IT'S NOT SNOWFLAAAAAKE!"
9	* Ray Finkle's house and especially his bedroom. Extremely creepy and SerialKiller-esque. His reclusive, mentally ill parents don't help at all. Even [[CloudCuckooLander Ace]] seems seriously uncomfortable when he finds the room, and the look on his face sells that past the lunacy inherent in Ace Ventura, he can tell that he's dealing with someone ''seriously'' disturbed.
10	-->'''Ace:''' I saw the guy's room. Cozy, if you're ''[[Film/SilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]]''!
11	** On a related note, the extent to which the residents of Finkle's hometown are implied to have harassed Ray and his parents [[DisproportionateRetribution over his loss at the Super Bowl]]. It's hinted to have been partially responsible for his mother's [[CloudCuckoolander mental state]] and the reason why his father answers the door with a shotgun.
12	--->'''Ace:''' Hi! I'm Looking for Ray Finkle. ''(gun gets pointed at his face)'' [[BringMeMyBrownPants And a clean pair of shorts.]]
13	*** One deleted scene has Ace stop at a gas station outside of town (the same one he used to call Melissa that Dan Marino is the next target) where he meets the very disturbed owner. Later, after he called Melissa, he was found [[DrivenToSuicide dead with a gun in his hand]]. He must have been thinking of killing himself ever since Finkle lost the game.
14	** The bedroom scene only intensifies as Ace watches a movie reel of the Super Bowl, with a zoom-in on a spectator holding a sign that says "revenge".
15	--->'''Announcer:''' The Dolphins lose! The Dolphins lose! The Dolphins lose the Super Bowl! Oh no!
16	** Also: the fact that an ENTIRE TOWN reacted this way to a FOOTBALL GAME (even if it was admittedly a big one) of all things makes you wonder about the mental health of everyone there.
17	* The distinct impression that the real Lois Einhorn was killed by Finkle so [[KillAndReplace he could assume her identity]]. Although, if she went missing or died before he escaped the mental institution, as is implied by the newspaper clipping still being among his belongings, then he used her disappearance and death as his opportunity to begin his plan for revenge.
18	* The [[WhatCouldHaveBeen discarded]] scene where Ace swings the hook at Einhorn's two goons and accidentally ''decapitates'' them both. It was apparently never shot, but the both the scene itself and the thought that someone figured such an overly violent and grisly gag would just fit right into an otherwise lighthearted, goofy flick are pretty damn disturbing.
19	** The establishing shots of Roger Podacter's murder scene stand out too, but they're ostensibly not played for humor.
20
21	!!''Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls''
22	* In the second film, a human antagonist is ''[[BlackComedyRape literally raped by a gorilla.]]''
23	* For animal lovers like Ace, Cadby's TrophyRoom.
