Line 27:
* ''[[Friday the 13th (film)]]: The Final Friday''. Outside of Jason's old, abandoned home is a small playground where the protagonists battle Jason at night.
* Used in ''[[The Terminator|Terminator 2]]'' in a brief piece recapping how the future's going to turn out. Optional skulls added.
* ''[[Flatliners]]''. While David Labraccio is trying to track down Winnie Hicks so he can apologize to her, he goes to the school playground where he tormented her as a child. We see it as it was (with all of the children), then the children fade away leaving just the [[Abandoned Playground]], revealing that the scene we just saw was Labraccio's memory.
* The French short ''Replay'' explores the emotions of a boy in a Fallout-style dead and deadly world, and he finds his way to a park like this in a nearby ruined city. Watchable [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-cFHeoXAw8 here].
* The playground at the beginning of the '70s version of ''[[Invasion of the Body Snatchers]]'' isn't abandoned, either, but something about it is just totally ''off'' and disturbing, maybe it's the sounds or something...
Line 84:
== Western Animation ==
 
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' -- Season—Season 7, Treehouse of Horror VI, Segment: Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace. Bart battles Willy at night in a foreboding, nightmare playground which is empty until the battle.
** Parodied in another episode where Bart calmly strolls through one (with an [[Ironic Nursery Tune]] playing in the background), with complete [[Genre Blindness]].
* On ''[[American Dad]]'', there was an abandoned playground in the vasectomy clinic video showing the wonders of a childless future.
