Monsters, Inc./YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Magnificent Bastard: Henry J Waternoose.
  • Mind Screw: The appearance of a gigantic |toy Rex, eagerly asking if he got a part in the movie, in the bloopers. No, it's never explained, and yes, Mike and Sully are just as confused as the audience.
  • Moe: Boo is utterly adorable.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Randall and Waternoose's plan, which involves kidnapping children and using the Scream Extractor to suck the screams from them, which if the effects on Fungus are considered standard, would kill them through suffocation by sucking the very air from their lungs along with the screams. At least Waternoose has an excuse: he wishes to keep the company going to provide monsters with their power, making him more of a Well-Intentioned Extremist than Randall could ever hope to be.
  • Nightmare Fuel: When the monsters harvest screams from little kids, a monitor displays how much screams they have collected with a robotic voice. Strangely similar to the telescreen. Creepy.
    • It's worth noting that this movie takes "Nightmare Fuel" to its most literal point. The screams of terrified children are what the monsters use for power.
