Rugrats/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

* The episode "Under Chuckie's Bed" where Chuckie gets a new bed to replace his crib and thinks there is a [[Things That Go Bump in the Night|monster under there]] and imagines that its talking to him. When Chuckie dares to peek under his bed for the monster he actually saw a dark, demonic-looking humanoid WITH AN ARM REACHING TOWARDS HIM.

** Angelica's story that she tells halfway through the episode about a boy who got "eaten by a monster under his bed" is also quite disturbing too. It begins with the boy just laying on his bed and reading comic books, when he hears the monster talking to him. The monster tells the kid that he has cake and ice cream under the bed, and the boy, buying the monster's lie hook-line-and-sinker, drops down to the foot of his bed, only for the monster to '''eat him alive in a scene that looks like it came from a ''[[Nightmare On Elm Street]]'' movie.''' Ending with a horrible belching noise to top it all off as well.

* Chuckie's germ nightmare in the episode "Mr. Clean".

** Chaz's psychotic dependecy on puppets in "Mr. Clean."

* The first Halloween episode had some pretty creepy background music, as well as views through the eyes of what the babies thought was a monster in the garage. {{spoiler|Turned out it was actually just a mouse, but it's still Nightmare Fuel.}}

* The episode where Chuckie wants to run away from home because the babies destroyed his dad's CD shows a parody of a famous Christmas story, where he sees what life would be like if he never existed. What was both terrifying and depressing was when his guardian angel showed him Tommy's dark, grey house, with a beaten, dirty and sad Tommy playing in the trash cans. The dialogue is as follows:

Angel: Yep, she took them too. }}

** And if that wasn't enough, it then shows a starved Tommy beside a ''[[Return of the Jedi|Jabba the Hutt]]''-esque Angelica, with his parents rushing around baking her cakes, completely ignoring Tommy, who begs for food, and is rejected.

* In "The First Cut" Tommy gets cut on a rose bush. He later dreams that when he gets cut, endless amounts of stuffing starts pouring out of the wound, as if he's a stuffed doll (This was inspired by a damaged teddy bear earlier in the episode).

* "The Last Babysitter": With only Susie's older sister in charge, the power goes out, and Tommy and Susie think that there's a monster in the dark house. At one point, they sneak upstairs to read Susie's book of monsters, one of which "eats bones."

'''Susie:''' No, Tommy. Not like a dog. }}

* The [[Fantastic Voyage Plot|Fantastic Voyage episode]] where Angelica had Chuckie convinced that, because he swallowed a seed, his stomach would be ripped open from the inside by a rapidly growing watermelon. The others had to go in there to get the watermelon seed out before it took root, but they were too late and it started going out of control. The environment inside was dark and claustrophobic and kinda gross. Tommy, Phil and Lil hardly got out in time, and only then was it revealed that it was [[All Just a Dream]].

* There was an episode where Tommy wished the worst thing ever would happen to Angelica. Angelica goes home, but Tommy finds a statue of her and is racked with guilt, thinking his wish had turned her to stone.

* The episode where Chuckie and Tommy think Stu is a robot, especially the scene where a sleep-walking Stu chases them and the ending exchange:

'''Chuckie''': Yeah. (beat) Wait, what about my dad?! (scary music) }}

* There were many creepy nightmare sequences in this show.
