For a nostalgic comedy, the film has a few genuinely creepy scenes.
- Milner and Carol's visit to the auto graveyard.
- Toad and Debbie's walk through the woods, where she tells him about the "goat killer" that's supposedly loose in the area.
- Curt's mission to hook up the cable to the police cruiser's axle is accompanied by eerily-distorted train sounds.
