Kubo and the Two Strings/Nightmare Fuel



Since these are the same guys that made the family friendly films, like Coraline and ParaNorman. It's no surprise that Kubo has it's own horrors.

"Sisters:"Kubo...Kubo...Little boy...""
 * The Sisters, pictured here, are this in everything that they say and do, including their visual designs and their creepy monotone way of speaking.

"The Sisters:"Come to your aunties...""
 * The Sisters reveal themselves not just by their creepy cooing, but also by coming out of this ominous dark mist. First there's only one...Then the second one comes behind the first.


 * Though Beetle turns out to be benign, it was scary from Monkey's POV when it looks like he abducts Kubo. Once her back's turn for a minute, the next thing, he's gone, and Kubo calling out for her.
 * It's very rare for Western animation, where the film posits that sometimes your own family are your own foes.
 * It's scary
 * The whole Garden of Eyes underwater scene. The yokai hypnotizes victims while luring them into its' mouth, which is a swirling maw of teeth! Beetle rescues Kubo from the beast: by shooting its' eyes with arrows. Even worst how it screams in PAIN!
 * The kid was almost swallowed by that giant mouth!
 * Since Kubo was being hypnotized, his leaf boat was disassembling at an alarming rate, shows how little time he has before he drowns, especially for Monkey (who was fighting the Sisters).
 * The fight, when the lower part of Washi's mask broke. Revealing that her skin was equally white as her mask and just as her mouth contorts in such fury. This even drives into Uncanny Valley.
 * How Beetle became Beetle, although it never appeared onscreen. We just see
 * Raiden's Moon Beast form, which is a floating, glowing, monster and a cross between an innocent koi fish, a dunkleosteus, and a centipede. Added in with human teeth. The fact that Raiden has human elements in his disguise makes it more of an eldrich abomination.
