    Lots of people have mentioned the face is horrific because of the teeth, but I'd argue it's the gums. Lots of anthropomorphized characters have teeth that we instinctively accept without question. But the gums, so fleshy and prominent, push the smile into the uncanny valley.

    While it's not quite the same train, the diesel locomotive is an allusion to Blaine, the main antagonist of the third Dark Tower book, The Wastelands. A supersonic monorail with an artificial intelligence that went insane over the years and could only be entertained by solving riddles, who agrees to take the protagonists across the Wastelands as long as they can give it a riddle he can't solve before they reach the end of the tracks, or else it will just destroy itself with them inside.

    “Are these children really laughing . . . or screaming?”
    Reminds me of the BTS for Nope where Peele actually had the extras record two sets of screams, one where they were screaming in terror and another where they were screaming with excitement. In the final cut of the movie both sets are meshed together, adding this weird and uneasy feeling to the screams because they don’t sound right.

      Well let me introduce you to the German childrens book I industry where there’s no book which is to scary as long as it teaches you something about life.
      If you’re interested search for „The Struwelpeter“ or „Max and Moritz“.

    Another off thing is the color palette. A story like this, which should be cheery, would be expected to have bright colors (such as a clear blue sky, green grass, and a bright red train) but everything is muted and rusty colored (even the balloon!), a palette usually reserved for children’s books with a retrospective or serious tone.

      There was a small book in my primary school that was creepy af. To sum it up a girls car broke down in a rural era she walked miles to find the nearest house. The house was a time warp everything from the house was from the Victorian era. Including a cold little girl grieving over her missing family. The book ends with the woman grown up and realising she’s driving down the road where she met the girl. There’s no sign of a house. And she can’t find any records of a house being there.
      I think I read this when I was about 8 and it has stuck with me ever since anyone know the name of the book?
