Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

{{work}}{{Darth Wiki}}

* Several of the writers for ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers (Animation)|Galaxy Rangers]]'',, including Christopher Rowley, had a background in horror. For a "kids" show, it did not shy away from screwing with your mind or going for a scare. Consider "Rogue Arm", where Zach's arm comes to murderous life. Not only does Zach start dying without it--''after'' it tries to strangle him--thehim—the thing creeps around the darkened halls of a giant but poorly-staffed and supplied ship, even sucking two [[Red Shirt]] crew members into space. Who, by the way, are never rescued.

* "Scarecrow" was pretty nasty too, with this [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]] coming back to life, ''killing'' a pair of [[Red Shirts]] (Remember, this was [[The Eighties]] - [[Never Say "Die"]] was standard operating procedure), then pulling [[Mind Rape]] on Shane's sentient, AI horse. After this, he leads the Rangers into the swamp, and wounds Niko pretty badly. Niko has a nightmare of ''waking up in her own grave,'' seeing the Scarecrow hovering over her, and choking her to death. Lastly, after Shane's chased it into a burning house, it runs into the night, still on fire, ''laughing.'' The very last scene? After Shane and Niko leave the planet, thinking they've defeated the thing, the technician that was gassing up their ship chuckles. His face ''melts,'' revealing him as the Scarecrow, and he does an [[Evil Laugh]] directly into the camera.
