  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

MY BUGS! My bugs...

  • Oogie's death sequence. It's the horrible screams that did it. Henry Selick is a Magnificent Bastard.
Cquote1

"My bugs, my bugs...!" *crunch*

Cquote2
The fact that it kind of sounded like he was saying "MY BONES!" makes it worse.
  • The sequence when Jack delivers all the presents. All those demented, evil toys, and that snake thing that ate the tree...
  • The shrunken head that one kid held up. It didn't help it played during one preview on t.v. a lot. He looked just as frightened as confused as real life kids did.
  • The clown with the tearaway face. Is it the fact that he tore off his face, the whole being-a-clown thing, or the way his voice changes? There's something so specifically freaky about that character that you wonder if it wasn't inspired by an actual nightmare of Burton's (or Selick's, or Elfman's...).
  • Fridge Horror applies to Lock, Shock, and Barrel's fear that "Jack will beat us black and green". Jack probably isn't the type to hit kids. Oogie, on the other hand ...
  • The end of Oogie Boogie's song when he goes from bright green to dark gray and then he did that demonic laugh. Yikes!
  • When Jack gets to the end of the Town Meeting song, and sings "Sandy Claws" he does a rather frighting face that fills up the screen.
  • "Kidnap the Sandy Claws, throw him in a box, bury him for ninety years, then see if he talks!"
    • "We're his little henchmen, and we do our job with pride. We do our best to please him and remain on his good side."
    • Evil 'lalala's of evilness... *shudders*
  • Seeing Santa tied up and helpless on top of that table-platform thingy as the black lights go up, the bats screech, and then Oogie Boogie walks in, and you know he's up to no good.
  • That alternate scene where instead of a pumpkin, the vampires are playing ice hockey with a severed head (Tim Burton's in fact). No wonder they cut it.
