miscellaneous [Dark Trope] Implied child death

• Family Guy - In a deleted scene, Evil Stewie is shown entering the bully's house and giving him a noogie. It seems rather harmless until Stewie mentions "Why's his knuckle turning red?" Then screams of the bully are heard, implying that Evil Stewie noogied his head so hard it punched a hole through the bully's head.

• Old (2021) - In a deleted cold opening, a man is shown crawling and shouting for help in the aging island. What makes this more terrifying is that this person could originally have been a baby or child, it's implied since he's walking on all fours

“Under the Skin” the baby on the beach scene. Shit made my blood run ice cold the first time I saw it.

This scene was one of the hardest scenes for me to watch in a movie ever, and that was before I had kids. 

Children and babies dying is always sad. Having their deaths be long, painful, and terrifying is even more sad.
