Yeah, ''[[Epic Mickey]]''. Joining the [[Nightmare Fuel]]-ish ranks of [[Nightmare Fuel (Disney film)|the family tradition.]]

* Some of the early concept art had this effect as well, even more so when coupled with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2U3dQBjE8Q the rumored released soundtrack] which sounds like a twisted and [[Mind Screw|mind screwing]] version of the soundtracks [[Walt Disney|Walt]] used in his older movies. [http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/DuelistGoku/4630880_402x410.jpg For example, there's a cyborg-like] [[Eldritch Abomination]] of a mash-up between Disney characters. Of course, [[Fan Art|fan artists]] took the concept and ran with it, [http://attacksloth.deviantart.com/art/Why-Didn-t-Daddy-Love-Me-139521712?q=sort%3Atime+gallery%3Aattacksloth&qo=1 with] [http://www.nunoxei.com/rewindawesome/wp-content/uploads/Epic_Mickey___Brainless_Mickey_by_GBlastMan-540x776.jpg very]{{Dead link}} [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/9451/1097817-1249353002411_super.jpg predictable]{{Dead link}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20110208062928/http://firecat1996.deviantart.com/art/45-Illusion-194437112 and] [https://web.archive.org/web/20101203100639/http://azurawatson93.deviantart.com/art/Epic-Mickey-INKIFIED-Oswald-170139626 definitely] [https://web.archive.org/web/20101203130251/http://gregthecatofgordawn.deviantart.com/art/Epic-Mickey-is-now-Inky-132618555 unsettling] [http://winter-freak.deviantart.com/art/Don-t-Forget-Oswald-139664655 results] [https://web.archive.org/web/20101206183951/http://nekoama.deviantart.com/art/It-s-Oswald-Time-139594923 as] [http://xxboogiepopxx.deviantart.com/art/LOST-and-FOUND-140300347 well.] [http://sso02v.deviantart.com/art/I-m-So-Cold-139477110 Yep.]

** [http://kotaku.com/5325198/this-looks-like-art-from-warren-spectors-steampunk-disney-game The initial concept art] implied a more steampunk-style [[Disney]] [[Video Game|game]]. The twisted, blasted landscapes and run-down [[Disney Theme Parks|Disneyland]] landmarks are one thing, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131027130043/http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/07/steamgoof.jpg but this] is quite another, what with the elephant-bot (which looks like it came right out of '{{color|pink|Pink}} elephants on parade') with hooks for hands, soulless dead eyes, and a skeletal, spindly torso which barely even resembles an elephant, and the equally horrifying no-eyed-one-armed [[Goofy]]-bot on the right. Also the disney-character-mashup [http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3579/3769500853_d4f52bded4_o.jpg that borders on] [[Body Horror]]. As far as official art goes, there's [http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/8427/7558epicmickey2d00cover.jpg later artwork] from the cover of Game Informer, and, for an even scarier version of the Phantom Blot, [https://web.archive.org/web/20180225020152/http://www.wiitalia.it/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/phantom-blot-epic-mickey-disney-videogame-wii.jpg there's the one that wouldn't look out of place in an] [[Iron Maiden]] album cover.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK7k7AZVMYA The cutscene right after the opening sequence] is arguably even worse. [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]], strapped to [[Mad Scientist|the Mad Doctor's]] table, is threatened by a robot with a creepy eye, wielding giant scissors, a drill, and a chainsaw, all of which stand mere inches from his face. He then nearly has his [[MacGuffin|heart]] ripped out of his body. The terror factor is lessened somewhat by the fact that the [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|final tool]] is [[Nightmare Retardant|a toilet plunger]], but even then, [[Doctor Who]] fans familiar with [[Doctor Who/Nightmare Fuel|the Nightmare fuel they have to deal with themselves]] may argue that [[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S1S27/E06 Dalek|being plungered to death is a legitimate concern.]]
