There are a lot of things that are Harmful to Minors. There are a lot of writers who like to subject kids to them anyway. Whether it's parental abuse or a run-in with the Monster of the Week, the child ends up traumatized and left with a creepy tendency to draw whatever it was they saw over... and over... and over... There is something profoundly disturbing about the idea of innocence being exposed to things it finds frightening, or things it can't understand. Thus, the combination of a disturbing image rendered in a crude, childlike style is a powerfully scary one in and of itself, but just as unsettling is the window into a child's view of sex/violence/Cthulhu that it gives us. It gets extra points if the suburban mom decides to hang it on the fridge rather than call a child psychologist or an exorcist. If a Creepy Child or Psychopathic Manchild draws pictures, they will be this trope. If it's the Monster of the Week the child has been drawing, expect the Nightmare Fuel Coloring Book to come in handy when the heroes come along - after all, now they've got a wall full of pictures of their enemy. Sometimes, it fails to get Nightmare Fuel itself, and comes off as cute, stupid or laughable at worst, devolving this trope into Nightmare Retardant Coloring Book. Compare Room Full of Crazy, Entertainment Above Their Age, Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant, and Troubled Toybreaker. Also related to Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour. Examples |

Batman: The Telltale Series features a rather distressing example, the main villain of the season used to be trapped inside a very tiny room, with chains and belts used for physical punishment stained in blood. All she had was some crayons which she used to draw on the wall her plans of revenge and a very creepy doll she made herself. Thanks to this drawing, Batman was able to figure the plan of the big bad. | |

In the Watchmen comic, a rather disturbing picture is drawn by 13-year old Walter Kovacs (later known as Rorschach), showing his mom and a man, both naked and fused together. The picture is accompanied by a transcript of Walter describing a disturbing sexual nightmare he had where he watched his mother and this man having intercourse. The way their bodies merge together symmetrically makes the picture resemble a Rorschach blot. | |

Kamen Rider Fourze had a teenager named Hiroki Makise who had diaries detailing how he would hold hands with a girl he liked... only to then reveal that he had an entry on how he'd crash a bus filled with girls who dumped him (with good reason) and he was happy about it because they were going to be "shooting stars". | |

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: A more realistic (and possibly more horrific because of it) in "Contagious" where a girl draws a picture of herself on a sports field, with an imposing and scary man standing off to the side in a football jersey. Initially, they think it's the coach—her uncle—who's been molesting her, but it turns out he was falsely accused and loses his job because of it. It was actually one of the high-school students on his team. One episode "Desperate" had a little boy who witnessed his father bash his stepmother's head in with a lamp. He trusts Olivia the most, so she's the one who sees the picture he drew of the attack. Lots of red crayon there... There's the episode "Deception" where Benson and Stabler are called in because a little girl is drawing some rather interesting pictures, and her teacher is concerned. Turns out she saw her (underage) big brother and her stepmom doing it. One episode called "Manic" with a young bullied boy with apparent split personality disorder, who draws a comic-style picture of basketball-playing kids lying dead on the ground with a shadowy figure holding a gun standing over them. The scary guy is "Zoltar", the kid's alter ego that he insists killed the boys when it was the kid himself in response to intense bullying that he couldn't take anymore. One of the saddest examples presented in "Baby Killer" is a little boy who accidentally shot a little girl on the playground at school, draws himself while being interviewed in the squad room. When he's asked what he thinks should happen to him, he draws flames engulfing him because he believes he should burn in hell. One girl in the episode "Hell" had her throat slit but lived. She couldn't talk afterwards, so she drew her attacker. She drew the Devil. It gets revealed that the man who attacked her was just nicknamed the Devil. |

A Bug's Life: The ant children present the "warrior bugs" with a mural showing them violently fighting the grasshoppers in an extremely bloody battle, followed by a school play where all the characters die dramatically. The "warrior bugs", who are in fact circus performers who had no idea they had been mistaken for warriors until this moment, are horrified. | |

The first chapter of The Prehistory of The Far Side consists of what Gary Larson claims to be drawings from his childhood. They depict his parents as cartoonishly abusive — for instance, playing fetch with the dog using him as the stick, making him ride in the trunk of the car, putting bars on his bedroom window, and dangling him over the alligator pit at the zoo. | |

In episode 5 of The Autobiography of Jane Eyre, Jane persuades her student Adele, who is somewhat of a child prodigy in this version, to draw pictures. Some of them were beautiful and lovely, like a picture of Jane or a picture of Adele's dog Pilot. But Mr Rochester, her father, is drawn on a mountain as a very distant figure, and the last image Jane shows is him with a big apple in his face. | |

Meghan from Nightworld: Lost Souls has always enjoyed finger painting, but most of her work consisted of random streaks and blotches. But under the influence of the ghosts, she starts drawing stick figures in a hole, with an unnaturally tall, thin figure towering over them. Victor finds more detailed pencil sketches of the same subject matter under Elson's bed. | |

Naturally, this has come up several times in Treehouse of Horror: In "Coralisa," "Treehouse of Horror XXVII"'s spoof of Coraline, the button-eyed "other" versions of Lisa's family (sans the Other Bart, who the real Simpsons killed by accident) end up moving in with the real Simpsons. The segment ends with Bart reporting that he got in some trouble at school for drawing his bizarre new "family," which now includes two Maggies, two Homers and an Eldritch Abomination version of Marge. In "The Pookadook," "Treehouse of Horror XXXIII"'s spoof of The Babadook, Marge destroys the titular picture book but realizes that Maggie is still scared of it when she draws multiple pictures of the family with the Pookadook lurking in the background. |

The Simpsons: Bart draws a seriously disturbed illustration expressing his first days in school in "Lisa's Sax". Fans commonly refer to it as the "SAD drawing".◊ In "See Homer Run" after Lisa goes on a misandrist rampage at school, Dr. Pryor deems the cause to be a lack of faith in her father and presents some essays she wrote of his past blunders, accompanied by pictures. These include Daddy's Face-Down Thanksgiving (Homer sleeping at the table with his face in his food), Left at the Grand Canyon (Lisa all alone in a trench) and The Day a Policeman Came to My Soccer Game (Homer getting arrested and shouting "I'll sue you all!"). In "Bart Gets a Z," a new teacher of Bart's meets with Homer and comments cheerfully on Bart's "wild sense of humor," showing him a drawing of the standard 'Homer strangling Bart' gag labeled "MY LAST BIRTHDAY." In "Clown in the Dumps", Lisa becomes obsessed with keeping Homer from eating himself to death, and soon Miss Hoover calls Marge over to show her some drawings she made of her trying to get Homer to exercise and of him dying and getting hauled away in an elephant ambulance. Naturally, this has come up several times in Treehouse of Horror: In "Coralisa," "Treehouse of Horror XXVII"'s spoof of Coraline, the button-eyed "other" versions of Lisa's family (sans the Other Bart, who the real Simpsons killed by accident) end up moving in with the real Simpsons. The segment ends with Bart reporting that he got in some trouble at school for drawing his bizarre new "family," which now includes two Maggies, two Homers and an Eldritch Abomination version of Marge.

In Project Origin, one of the classrooms at Wade Elementary has a bunch of crayon drawings by the children posted up on the wall. These drawings include flaming demon heads, towering piles of dead bodies, people on fire, random drawings of Alma, and the Point Man shooting Paxton Fettel. The last one is particularly disturbing after a bit of thought, because the game takes place the day after the aforementioned event occurs, which also takes place literally minutes before the nuclear explosion that killed everyone in the school happens, and all of the children in the school are actually supposed to either be psychic or potential psychics. | |

The Suffering: Ties That Bind: Torque's son Cory draws a picture of his father's mental state: Torque lies pinned to the ground by his monstrous insanity form as Carmen and Blackmore look on. An impressive feat of Nightmare Fuel considering that Cory has been dead for quite some time when this picture was drawn. Jordan's guide to the various Malefactors not only includes photographs and artistic sketches, but a few drawings clearly produced by children. Thankfully, the game doesn't go into explicit detail as to what happened to these young artists, though players can probably guess that it wasn't pleasant. |

In Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin has drawn some pretty disturbing things (and relatedly, sculpted them out of snow), but this is usually Played for Laughs. The images usually come from his deranged imagination and not from scary stuff he's actually seen. More than once he has drawn people getting eaten by animals and monsters. Once he drew a flip-book style animation in the margins of his dad's book showing a tiger biting a guy's head off. Once, when he was required to do a presentation on traffic safety, he designed a gruesome poster with the slogan "Be Careful, Or Be Roadkill." For the blood, he used spaghetti sauce so the gory images would actually draw flies. Naturally, he didn't win. While assigned to work with Susie on a class project, he drew a flipbook of a Martian eating an astronaut. Susie was more upset that he was procrastinating than that the art itself was gruesome, though. When his class was making crayon drawings, He criticizes Susie's drawing of a house for being too simplistic, he then shows her his drawing of "a squadron of B-1 bombers nuking New York City." Another strip had an image spot of him being trapped inside his school notes but since he was doodling during class, he was able to hijack a tank he drew and shoot up a drawing of his school with stick figure kids running away in terror. Later he's shooting a giant Ms. Wormwood until the real Wormwood snaps him back into reality and says she wants him to "see [her] after class." |

The mentally ill girl in Dark Floors draws stylized versions of the monsters that attack the group—before the attacks happen. She also tends to draw constant circles which symbolize the fact that she's been living the events of the movie over and over again for an indefinite number of loops while the monsters try to convince her to come with them. | |

In the Neon Genesis Evangelion movie End Of Evangelion, we briefly see a series of angrily-scribbled crayon pictures, reminding the reader of Shinji and Asuka's horribly traumatic childhoods. Supposedly they were drawn by real-life abused children. It was also shown in the Director's Cut version of episode 22. | |

The White Desert in Yume Nikki certainly evokes this style, being completely white with black "drawings" and splashes of red here and there, and containing a lot of Body Horror creatures drawn in a childish style. For this reason, along with the creepy minimalist music and multitude of strange and scary events, it's often considered the scariest area of the game. The creepy portraits you can glimpse in the sewers qualify as well. | |

The protagonist from Among the Sleep is a toddler who seems to be pulled into a Dark World littered with these sorts of pictures of him, his loving mother, and a dark figure pursuing/terrorizing them both. The figure turns out to be a metaphor for the mother's alcohol abuse and mental issues, which can turn her from a loving mother into a terrifying, abusive figure for the child. | |

Silent Hill: Inverted in Silent Hill: Alessa kept on drawing monsters that ended up being in Dark Silent Hill. In Silent Hill 3, this becomes even creepier if you haven't played the first game. You go through the whole game fighting these truly horrifying monsters... only to discover them all, in the last level, as drawings strewn about the floor of Alessa's room. Given who you're playing in that game, it's even worse in a way. Though hindsight says the fight on the carousel was foreshadowing. In Silent Hill 4, you see one of Walters' kiddie drawings of Eileen... the drawing gives her a big, bloody, spikey mess growing in her belly. Present in Silent Hill: Homecoming, where the protagonist's younger brother, Josh, has left disturbing crayon drawings throughout Sheperd's Glen and Silent Hill. Bonus points because most of them are accompanied by couplets that add up to a local children's rhyme about the Bogeyman. |

An episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent called "Three-in-One" did an interesting variation. Creepy childlike drawings at a crime scene lead the detectives toward a suspect with a child's room in his house, but no proof the man actually has a child. He actually had a dissociative identity disorder and did the drawings while in the personality of a child, but committed the crime in an adult personality, and didn't have a clear memory of what was going on. | |

The X-Files: One episode centers around a young boy who compulsively writes seemingly random lines of zeroes and ones on sheet after sheet of paper. In the end, these hundreds of sheets of paper covered in binary are laid out across the living room floor, forming an image of a smiling girl - the boy's missing sister. "Fearful Symmetry" had a gorilla who had been taught painting and sign language, and was making pictures of alien spacecraft. She was more communicative than most human examples, explaining it (as best as she could) using sign language. "Scary Monsters" had strange insect creatures tormenting the family of a little boy, who drew pictures of strange insect creatures tormenting people. It turned out he was a Reality Warper of sorts with very morbid thoughts that become incredibly realistic hallucinations. The solution? Put him in a blank white room and have him watch TV until it cripples his imagination. |

In Stargate SG-1, there is a character named Cassandra. She's Janet Fraiser's adopted daughter and an alien. She's adopted and living on Earth because a Goa'uld decided to use her, a ten-year-old girl, to set a trap. This trap involves murdering every single person on the entire planet beside her. And then, Cassie was left alone on the planet for at least hours, possibly days, surrounded by the corpses of her family and everyone she knew, completely alone. Later in the episode, when she's at the SGC, Cassie shows Sam her drawings, which are full of stick figures bleeding, lying on the ground dead, or both. And one single stick figure standing up, surrounded by stick-figure corpses. A much later episode has an "adult" - but not really - example. A young woman is found in a glass cell in a secret NID facility where every last person was killed, in her cell among other things are dozens of nightmarish drawings. Turns out the NID was experimenting with cloning, trying to mix human and Goa'uld DNA to produce a human with the Goa'uld race memory. The young woman was the product and was only a few months old thanks to accelerated growth. The drawings were an outlet for the buried Goa'uld intelligence which could only manifest while she was sleeping - or when "let loose" by the head scientist on the project. |

Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Fourze had a teenager named Hiroki Makise who had diaries detailing how he would hold hands with a girl he liked... only to then reveal that he had an entry on how he'd crash a bus filled with girls who dumped him (with good reason) and he was happy about it because they were going to be "shooting stars". Kamen Rider Den-O has Ryutaros, a Psychopathic Manchild who loves drawing with crayons. When he becomes obsessed with winning Airi's heart by killing Yuto, his drawings include an image of Den-O Gun Form blasting a hole in Yuto's chest. |

For instance, he draws a tree branch with blood dripping from it as the child psychologist who saw him earlier has a tree branch driven through her face in a car crash.

In Bad Mojo, we see a childhood drawing done by protagonist Roger Samms with a note from his teacher attached commenting to the effect that "This boy is clearly disturbed". Said drawing is obviously inspired by Roger's issues with his mother's Death by Childbirth, as it consists of a newborn baby smirking evilly as he stabs his mother to death. An animated version even plays as you approach, accompanied by creepy music. | |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules: A milder version of this trope occurs here. Manny (who's only about 3-5) accidentally watches a horror movie that Rodrick (who's about 17) left in the VCR. Greg comes across Manny's drawings later, and remarks that "some of them were enough to give ME nightmares." The trope is played with earlier in the book. Greg and his mom and dad had to bail Rodrick out on his science project; Greg had to draw what he thought teenagers would draw after watching violent movies (imitating this trope, but not actually playing it straight). |

Bio Apocalypse is a Real Life example of this trope, which is a graphic novel written by a 12-year-old where the entire Earth gets turned into the Bloody Bowels of Hell.

Doctor Who: "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" has an Inversion: Creepy Child Jamie drew hundreds of pictures of houses and families, in keeping with the "Are you my mummy" theme. A variant in "Fear Her", where the Monster of the Week is a possessed young girl. She has drawings of her abusive dad, and of every missing kid in town on her walls... and it's because she drew them that they're missing to begin with. It gets worse when the picture of the abusive dad actually comes to life. The first time it awakens is after a tense period when Rose is trying to find out what's inside a closet. When she opens it, the picture glows red and growls, much the same way a screamer would do in something like the Ghost Car video. The second time, it actually escapes from the closet that it had been drawn inside and walks towards Chloe and her mother, intent on abusing them from beyond the grave. The Eleventh Doctor's companion Amy Pond repeatedly drew images of "The Raggedy Doctor" after he first visited her as a child. It's not creepy in the usual way, but it's clear her meeting the Doctor when she was seven has left her with some... issues. "In the Forest of the Night": Maebh's exercise book full of drawings predicting the events. |

Clarissa: Clarissa's drawings of her family members in "Family Portrait". Made all the worse by the fact that the teacher, even after seeing all the drawings, suspects absolutely nothing. The drawings are respectively of a man who has blood in his feces, a girl, her sibling and grandma visiting her mother in jail, but Clarissa made two drawings: Clarissa's family eating breakfast (that is far, far from the truth), and her other drawing is eerily similar to an Interspecies Romance between a squirrel drawn suspiciously like her and a wolf drawn suspiciously like her father. She also implies that the wolf raped the squirrel. The teacher all but catches on. | |

After their early meeting with the school headmistress in Aunt Dimity: Vampire Hunter, Bill and Lori sit the boys down for a talk about the vampire they claim to have seen. At Bill's request, Will takes up his crayons and draws a picture of it: a thin and pale vampire figure with "canines like stalactites", a voluminous black cloak with a red lining, a cloud of bats around its head, and a lightning bolt in the sky overhead. Lori sums it up this way, "Although the drawing was primitive, it was powerful enough to give me nightmares." | |

Battlestar Galactica: In one episode, Hera Agathon horrifies her mother, Sharon, by drawing pictures of the Eye of Jupiter, yellow-haired women, and the number 6. Sharon, meanwhile, had been having dreams of Cylon Number Six (a blonde woman) taking Hera away from her, and walking into the Opera House on Kobol. She does it again later in the second half of the season. Her seemingly harmless drawings of "stars" turn out to be musical notation Kara uses to remember a song from her childhood - "All Along the Watchtower". |

Subverted in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Someone who has supposedly met the Laughing Man is asked to draw a picture of his face. The drawing isn't a face, but rather the Laughing Man's logo. The witness' brain had been hacked, such that he was unable to perceive the difference. Although it's played for laughs when this happens to Togusa, after encountering a mysterious (and apparently catatonic) boy named Aoi (who, as it turns out, is the real Laughing Man). | |

The trope appeared a few times in Millennium (1996), most notably in the episode "Wide Open". A little girl watched a man murder her mother and father, and she drew the scene many times, with one iteration giving the "bad man" a large red X across his chest. It turns out she recognized the killer as the crossing guard from school. The "X" represented the lines of the reflective safety-gear he wore. | |

His mother finds the sameness of it rather disturbing. Later in the chapter, it says Patrick has started drawing pictures of his "killing box," the abandoned refrigerator he uses to starve and suffocate animals to death. | |

In the prologue set 50 years ago, a classroom of schoolchildren is asked to draw pictures depicting the future, to be locked into a time capsule that will be opened in the present day. However, one disturbed girl writes down a seemingly random series of numbers, instead of a drawing. MIT professor John Koestler's son takes the piece of paper home, and he accidentally discovers that it is a doomsday prophecy. | |

Family Guy: Lois is called in for a parent-teacher conference to discuss Stewie's drawings, all of which show him murdering her in brutal ways. The conclusion Lois and the teacher come to? He needs to spend more time with Peter since he is not present in any of the drawings. In "Stewie Kills Lois", Stewie throws out some crayon drawings of Lois getting bloodily killed to get Brian off his back about her "disappearance". Peter's friends then come by the trash and find the drawings, believing that Peter drew them (since his handwriting is already so poor). |

The somewhat unusual 1988 psychological fantasy/horror film Paperhouse is in some respects a strong example of this trope- the plot is based around the drawings of the lead character (an 11-year-old girl), and the strange events associated with them. In other respects, it's less typical, as the drawings aren't horrifically gory or scary in themselves, so much as they're disturbing in the context of the rest of the film. | |

The first has him holding a cookie and standing on top of K.O., who is lying on the ground and telling him to stop while T.K.O. refuses to. The second depicts T.K.O. attacking a city, with the caption "GET REKT". The third shows him apparently taking over/terrorising the world while people cry for help. The fourth depicts him surrounded by darkness, pulling at his hair and saying "I can't stop" while crying. | |

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines has you explore an abandoned hotel that's haunted by the spirit of a guest that went mad and slaughtered his family. In one bedroom, amidst a pile of toys and colouring books, you find a picture drawn by one of the murdered children: it shows a happy family holding hands- but the father's been replaced by a hideous wild-haired creature surrounded by flames. | |

One of these is evidence in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth 2's final case, which features a crime that took place at an orphanage 12 years ago. It depicts the President of Zheng Fa in his last moments before being assassinated. Further, the kid who drew it turns out to be the Big Bad of the game. | |
