* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxE10ClIcj4 The "bumpers" played in 1981 for the TV series]] have Galen explaining how the human astronauts did return to their time. He stayed behind as he didn't want to go to a world where he'd be treated as an animal. What makes his following words chilling is Roddy McDowell's upbeat tone as he shows a toy of an ape playing a grinder while holding a human on a chained collar playing cymbals.

-->'''Galen''': Would ''you'' come to ''my'' world willingly, hmm? You will. Eventually. It's only...a matter...of time.

Added DiffLines:

* The original Marvel Comics storyline for the Planet of the Apes was called "Terror on the Planet of the Apes!" It was accurately named indeed...
** The basic plot is that our protagonists have been framed for murdering the wife of a police officer, when he actually killed her himself to cover up his connections to an ape supremacist movement.
** The Mutant Drones; horribly deformed mutants that have been lobotomized and equipped with cybernetic parts to serve as the pawns of the Gestalt Mind: a mad artificial intelligence combined of [[BrainInAJar multiple linked brains in life-support systems]].
** "Apeworld" is depicted as being infested with aliens, giant monsters and all manner of horrible mutants.
** The Makers, a faction of mad cyborgs out to enslave the world.

* Pretty much the entire second half of ''Beneath The Planet of The Apes''. Take your pick. From the freaky hallucinations of the upside-down, crucified gorillas and giant statue with bleeding eyes to the two heroes being forced to kill each other in a cell lined with deadly spikes to the mutant humans pulling off their faces to reveal themselves as hideous, skinless abominations (the concept of mutants worshiping the source of radiation is pretty nightmarish in itself) to finally end with the destruction of the entire planet and a completely nihilistic closing narration ("In one of the countless billions of galaxies in the universe, lies a medium-sized star, and one of its satellites, a green and insignificant planet, is now dead"). Any kid who sees this film won't get any sleep that night. And to think that this was a G-rated film.

* The expansion on the lobotomy of Landon in the 'Conspiracy' novel. Even without film to accompany it, it's still freaky.
