The mini-adaptation of The Mysterious Stranger is known for being one of the creepiest things ever put to film, let alone a film that you could ostensibly show to children. It is one meaningful, accurate adaptation. And it will haunt your nightmares.
  • In the above-mentioned segment, Satan has the kids create a miniature civilization out of clay figures and gives them life. When two of the figures fight over a clay cow, Satan gets so annoyed at the commotion that he destroys the village with an earthquake and bolts of lightning. The little people cry and scream at the heavens above as this happens, and once they're all gone, Satan buries the rubble in a crack in the earth and restores the area where it once stood as if nothing happened. It is no wonder why some cable network airings of the movie edited this segment out altogether.
    • There's also the fact that Satan is blatantly depicted in this, a kids movie.
    • The devilish Nightmare Face that Satan's mask makes as he destroys the village is chilling, but it gets even worse near the end, where it transforms into a skull, pictured above, while he suggests that the kids could do the same thing again at another time.
      Satan: I can do no wrong, for I do not know what it is.
      Huck: You murdered 'em!
      Satan: Never mind them. People are of no value. We could make more, sometime. If we need them.
  • Additionally, the Injun Joe jumpscare almost immediately afterwards.
    Dark!Twain: Do you remember your old friend - Injun Joe?
    Becky: Mr. Twain, why did you do that?!
    • Not to mention Joe's Nightmare Face, which is about as disturbing as that of Satan's, if not moreso.
    • Injun Joe's knife also gets stuck in the transporting door, even as the entrance to his cave closes.
  • Really, the whole sequence qualifies, as Dark Twain constantly gives off an eerie vibe in both his speech and mannerisms. It doesn't help when he leaves the Indexivator at "The Damned Human Race," which is nothing more than a dark cemetery.
  • "The Diary of Adam and Eve" segment gets cut short by a thunderstorm, right after Eve eats the forbidden fruit. The various ways we see Eden get destroyed are quite unnerving, from the scenery turning into a barren landscape, to Adam's unicorn mount getting eaten by a giant head.
