Music aside, the Clock Tower is also made immensely disturbing because of how you fight it when using Thinner: basically, you have to melt the blue metal armour it has covering its brittle mechanical hands, so that when it pounds the floor to attack you, the force shatters them apart.
The music doesn't help matters, either, which in turn are made worse by adding the lyrics being sung by children: this idea, as a little piece of trivia, was originally going to be used in the game.
The cutscene right after the opening sequence is arguably even worse.The opening sequence has Mickey Mouse essentially being dragged to a hellish dystopia by an Eldritch Abomination.The developers originally planned to put the song "It's a Small World" in it, only played backwards.As far as official art goes, there's later artwork from the cover of Game Informer, and, for an even scarier version of the Phantom Blot, there's the one that wouldn't look out of place in an Iron Maiden album cover. Also the disney-character-mashup that borders on Body Horror. The twisted, blasted landscapes and run-down Disneyland landmarks are one thing, but this is quite another, what with the elephant-bot (which looks like it came right out of ' Pink elephants on parade') with hooks for hands, soulless dead eyes, and a skeletal, spindly torso which barely even resembles an elephant, and the equally horrifying no-eyed-one-armed Goofy-bot on the right. The initial concept art implied a more steampunk-style Disney game.Of course, fan artists took the concept and ran with it, with very predictable and definitely unsettling results as well. For example, there's a cyborg-like Eldritch Abomination of a mash-up between Disney characters. Some of the early concept art had this effect as well, even more so when coupled with the rumored released soundtrack which sounds like a twisted and mind screwing version of the soundtracks Walt used in his older movies.Going by Nightmare Fuel, the fact he's doing this on purpose makes this title, although only potentially, as scary as a Silent Hill game, especially considering the fact that this is the guy who brought us the legendary and terrifying System Shock series. Disney scared the pants off me when I was a little kid. I want to go to Disneyland and see a 10 year old kid crying: oh mommy, the clock tower's going to come to life and eat me! That's my fondest dream. Warren Spector is actually aiming for Nightmare Fuel in the first place: after speaking of luring people in with nostalgia and then surprising them, he stated "On top of that, I really want to scare kids."X scared me" is already implied by the mere addition of that example by the troper. Basic rules: just list facts as they are, don't just say "character X" or "the X scene" (such zero context examples will be Zapped (wiki)), spoiler policy to be determined on a case-by-case basis, italics to be applied to works' names only and not to give emphasis on what tropers say. In order for Nightmare Fuel tabs to survive, a new writing style is going to be used, nicknamed Example Lobotomy. We're as surprised as you are that it only got an E rating.
Now picture it in a broken down Amusement Park of Doom. Picture everything you loved as a kid about Disney. Joining the Nightmare Fuel-ish ranks of the family tradition. Now, as a friendly reminder: he's one of the good guys.
