Nightmare Fuel / Children's Party at the Palace

What child would trust such a creepy and Obviously Evil guy as this Baddie?

Yes, even a harmless British Pantomime such as this can have its unsettling moments.

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.

• Although they're simply exaggerated versions of their original selves from their respective novels, the Baddies can be pretty creepy. Their dreary attire and intimidating scowls are dead giveaways.
  • Oh, especially the Child Catcher, not just because he's a creepy old bald guy in a top hat and a suit with the occasional Slasher Smile. He captures children.
    • Not to mention his obsession with children and capturing them is quite unsettling. Especially that it's kids of all things.
• The way the Child Catcher acts towards Tracy Beaker. He acts very kind and generous to Tracy by telling her he has sweets with him, even using endearing nicknames yet speaks in a low, sinister voice as he tries to lure her into a trap just like he did with Just William and Horrid Henry. Later he shows his true colours and insists Tracy be locked behind the door with William.
  • Even the Child Catcher simply swerving across the floor of the Palace corridor can be pretty unnerving, yet it doubles as a Funny Moment as he's a malicious Baddie yet he weaves around like a child on a sugar rush.
• The CCTV footage of Burglar Bill stealing the handbag at Buckingham Palace, especially that it seemed like it came from a low-budget security camera with the grainy footage, lack of colour, and that the room was near pitch black.
• The masked costumed characters featured in this film with their static, unmoving faces (though if they had animatronic heads that would still guarantee some Nightmare Fuel). Especially that some people have a fear of mascots like those.
• There's a chance that the corgis would have gotten skinned by Cruella de Vil. Thankfully, as they can detect the evil in Baddies with no problem, Cruella had to deal with them constantly biting and yapping at her.
  • Cruella's Villainous Breakdown afterwards.
  "AAAAUUUGH!! HORRIBLE LITTLE MONSTERS!! They snarl and snap, pull and yap! Why does anyone like these in their skins?! You! Take them! Kill 'em! Harvest their fur! Hahahahaha!"
• During the Baddies' hysterical evil laughter after the Grand High Witch talks about putting her potion in the birthday cake so the Goodies can transform into mice, enormous flames and sparks from the pyrotechnic machines at the bottom of the stage suddenly shoot up to make it more dramatic. It doesn't help that it was very sudden.
