Line 8:
** The leadup to it. After Scar has tried to kill Simba and fallen into a crevasse, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed approach. Scar addresses his friends, to which Shenzi says, "Friends? I thought he said we were the enemy?" Shenzi and Banzai turn to Ed... who breaks into a creepy giggle like nothing we have heard before... and it is TERRIFYING.
** Scar getting eaten by hyenas would be like [[Sesame Street]] after watching the alternate ending to [[The Lion King]] on Youtube. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y14TwUGQ3xE Scar defeats Simba and Scar gets engulfed in flames resulting in the destruction of Pride Rock.] If you look closely at the sketches, he seems to be reduced to ''bone'' for a short time.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130329085251/http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Lion-King,-The.pdf An early draft] of this scene, which probably would've made this movie dark and kid unfriendly, makes it a thousand times worse. In this draft, Scar says, "My friends," when the ''whole'' pack of hyenas approach instead of Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed approaching first and there's no lines from Shenzi and Banzai nor Ed's creepy laugh, in fact the script implies that {{spoiler|Banzai and Ed die when they are catapulted into a flaming tree and Shenzi is the only one who approaches from behind and hears Scar betraying the hyenas.}} The thing about that scene in the draft: the hyenas are ''still laughing even as they attack him!''
* And Mufasa's death was equal parts this and [[Tear Jerker]] fuel. Scar could have easily left him to die, but apparently, he wanted him to die in abject horror. So, he digs his claws into his arms, tells him "Long live the king.", then pushes him off to his death.
* "Long live the king..." The way Scar delivered that particular line was rather spine chilling. Now with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci9vrTZeaSU&NR=1 27 effects.]

* While he normally isn't scary, Rafiki's insane laughter as Simba chases him through the jungle can be considered unsettling.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl8gDjaHWWA A deleted scene] that is mostly restored in the play as "The Madness of King Scar" is downright creepy. The play version is simply discomforting. The film version is downright disturbing. Scar starts hitting on Nala, wanting to her his queen. She refuses. In front of the entire pride, he banishes her. In and of itself the scene is mildly unsettling. The way Scar says his lines, though, is outright disturbing.
