Princess Mononoke/Nightmare Fuel

• Though the film is purposely keeps the amount of blood low and mostly avoids blood fountains, Ashitaka's curse becomes evident when his arrows rip off the heads or limbs of the soldiers he fights.
• The very first scene features Nago, a giant boar that is covered by crawling worms and destroying everything in his path. As he dies, we get a close up of his face, as his flesh is melting from his bones.
• And then there's Okkoto, who is about to suffer the very same fate.
• But the real Nightmare Fuel Truck arrives at the films showdown when Eboshi's gun makes the Forest Gods neck explode and the body turns into a massive writhing mass of black slime that goes on a rampage in search of its head. Which is kicking around in the metal box it has been put into.
  • The warriors disguise themselves as boars to trick Okkoto. Something about their movement and lack of eyes. The image of them nuzzling up to Okkoto's side is absolutely horrifying.
    • It's even worse: The disguise works because Okkoto is almost blind. They fool his sense of smell by wearing the skins of his slaugtered tribe.
