Line 168:
** Many [[Atheism|adults]] find [[The Fundamentalist|them]] scary, too.
* ''[[The Spitting Image Book]]'', by the producers of the satirical 1980s TV show, included a parody of the [[wikipedia:Noddy|Noddy]] children's books by Enid Blyton, in which Big Ears advises an unhappy Noddy to cheer himself up by singing happy songs. Noddy then proceeds to dance and sing a happy tune that quickly turns into a horrific, Wilfred Owen-like lyric about World War I. ("Oh what does it matter / If things aren't so merry / And death-shrouded corpses / Lie ready to bury"). The parody ends with Big Ears saying, "I don't see what you're so happy about. You've spoiled my whole bloody evening!" and an illustration (in the style of the originals) of him about to hang himself.
* In the ''[[Discworld]]'' novel ''[[Hogfather]]'', Mr Teatime himself qualifies as this; even the ''Assassins'' are horrified by him because even they have standards, and he is just too [[Uncanny Valley|uncanny]] and unspeakable to be condoned. Lord Downey, head Assassin, privately decides that he will meet with a little "accident". Add this impression to his childlike behavior and outlook on life, and he genuinely horrifies people.
* In ''Mathemagics'', Riva's daughter draws a picture of her home planet for class, which leads to an angry meeting between the teacher and Riva.
* In ''[[World War Z]]'', [[Wild Child|feral girl]] Sharon describes the circumstances that left her that way with all the comprehension of a four-year-old, and that innocence arguably makes her descriptions (and impersonations) of the attacking zombies and {{spoiler|the parents murdering their own children to keep the zombies from getting them}} that much more terrifying and [[Tear Jerker|saddening.]]
Line 234:
* In ''[[Bad Mojo]]'', we see a childhood drawing done by protagonist Roger Samms with a note from his teacher attached commenting to the effect that "This boy is clearly disturbed". Said drawing is obviously inspired by Roger's issues with his mother's [[Death by Childbirth]], as it consists of a newborn baby smirking evilly as he stabs his mother to death, and an animated version plays as you approach, accompanied by creepy music.
* '[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' examples:
** Fado from ''[[The Legend of Zelda
** It's entirely possible that she simply went mad from watching all her childhood friends turn into undead, especially considering that they all are significantly older than they look.
** Agitha from ''Twilight Princess'' loves bugs. She just LOVES THEM SO MUCH.
