It was a group of babies walking around the trail. I couldn’t see the mom but I heard her.

I like it because there's the implication that magic isn't inherently harmful. Or at the very least, not as "active" as you might think. In stories like "The Substance" it IS possible to get a "happy ending," but only if you don't try to push your luck.
In general, you can divide this into two categories:

A. Characters explicitly ignore specific instructions about something they already knew was magic:

• Gremlins:
  • Gizmo's new "owners" ignore the instructions given by his previous caretaker's son. They get water on him, and feed them after midnight.
  • To be fair, the gremlins did trick the main character by messing with clocks. So, it's a B+ effort overall.
• The Substance:
  • "The Substance" creates two individuals. The original, and a younger, "better" body. Your consciousness needs to switch between the bodies every seven days.
  • Things go poorly because the protagonist starts treating each body as a separate individual, instead of an extension of herself.
• Death Becomes Her:
  • Both characters become immortal, but ignore their patron's warning. Immortality will keep them bound to their bodies, so they need to take care of it.
  • Both characters end up killing each other, turning them from just "immortal" to "undead." If they learned to squash their beef, they would have been much better off.
• Talk to me:
  • There's a magic hand sculpture that lets you talk to the dead. But you need to sever contact in 90 seconds.
  • Someone does not.

B. Characters naively ignore specific warnings against a non-specific threat:

• The Evil Dead:
  • Some versions of the story have explicit warnings about "The Necronomicon." Other versions are less careful.
  • Opening the book and playing the incantations summons evil spirits. The cabin previously belonged to an archeologist.
  • My question is, who is renting this place out?
• An American Werewolf in London:
  • Two American tourists are warned to stay on the roads and out of the moors. They decide to cut through them.
  • To be fair, the locals could have said "there is a dangerous animal out here." Cause they get all werewolf'ed on.
• Alien:
  • Follow quarantine procedure after your employee gets Alien'd!
  • I won't give them much guff, though. Ripley tried to follow it, but the company-provided android sabotaged her.

I think it's a great way to demonstrate how huge a creature is. When their (already large) head seems cartoonishly small compared to the rest of their body.

1). Attack on Titan:
While many titans have a proportionally small head, the colossal titans take it to its logical extreme. This form gets more bottom-heavy as you move down, with a tiny head that's really only there to provide a line-of-sight.

2). Godzilla Minus One:
Godzilla's original form was much more evenly proportioned. Like a real animal. After being irradiated, his proportions are all off, with a much smaller head compared to the rest of his body.
I'm still unsure what his deal was. Was he a mutant creature already? Could he regenerate, and that's why he survived the bomb testing? Did the radiation mess up his regeneration?

3). Splatoon:
Mr. Grizz is a massive bear with a proportionally small head.

4). Artemis Fowl:
In the original graphic novel adaptations, Butler was an absolutely hulking boulder of a man.

1). Avatar: The Last Airbender
Azula has a breakdown after >!losing a duel to Zuko. !<

2). Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
A young Rocket breaks down after >!his family/friends are killed. !<

3). Mob Psycho 100
Mob's psychic power is redirected outward after another esper tries to attack him with images of his brother's death.

4). The Mighty Nein

5). Nimona
Nimona prepares to end things.

6). Attack on Titan
Eren is unable to save someone right in front of him. Again.

7). History of Trunks
Trunks fails to>! save Gohan.!<

8). Man of Steel
Superman is forced to >!kill Zod !<to save innocent humans.

9). Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
>!Caesar dies. !<

idk I love the idea of travel-friendly items.

1). Pokémon:
In the anime, Poké balls remain tiny until they are "activated" by a trainer.

2). ThunderCats:
The Sword of Omens only reaches full-length after a lengthy bit of recyclable animation.

3). Percy Jackson:
"Riptide" spends most of its time as a pen.

It's small enough to pull out of a utility belt. But somehow sucks massive amounts of oxygen from the water and/or stores several minutes of air. They all look the exact same for some reason. But I'm not complaining, because it's a simple, recognizable explanation for "why they aren't drowning." And I like underwater scenes.

1). James Bond:
Probably (don't quote me on it) the original example of this design.

2). Star Wars:
In The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon pull them out while diving.

3). Pokemon:
Used frequently to let the characters to interact with aquatic Pokémon.

4). Young Justice:
Used by various Robins.

5). Batman:
Of course he's got one of those.

Volcano lady.

2). Adventure Time:
Island lady.

3). Moana:
Te Fiti is an island goddess created by Disney for the 2016 film, Moana.

4). The Life of Pi:
The carnivorous island kind of looks like a human. Probably not specifically a lady, though.

1). Gravity Falls:
If you look into the "Gremloblin's" eyes, you see your greatest fear. When he looks into a mirror, he seems himself becoming his father.

2). The Mummy:
The Mummy is afraid of cats. Probably because of who they'll tell about him.

3). How to Train Your Dragon:
Dragons in general are terrified of eels. In the spin-off series, we learn that they get pretty sick if they eat one.

There are some raccoon tracks in here. Are there any that resemble skunk tracks?

Raven? Crow?

Are they fighting?

It is found in a place I have previously heard cricket frogs, grey tree frogs, and green frogs.

It was about 1.5-3 inches long.

I thought it was a little brown skink. Others think it was a common five-linked skink.

1). Invincible:
According to the guidebooks, The Immortal vaguely remembers his past. He recalls encountering a strange phenomenon, being a knight, etc.

2). Adventure Time:
Due to a magic crown flooding his brain with magic, the Ice King remembers nothing of his past. Over a thousand years ago, he was a human antiquarian who came across a magic crown. The crown's magic would keep him alive during the collapse of human civilization. But his mind and body was irreparably warped in the process.

3). Supernatural:
In season 5, Dean meets "Death." Death does not remember if he is older than God. According to him, neither does God.

Niles has been trapped in a time loop for so long he can't even remember what he did for a job.

They didn't just go to a store room and eat all the food. They specifically ordered an absurd amount of food.

Ron mourns the loss of his favorite steakhouse.

3). The Simpsons:
Homer orders a potentially fatal steak.

The Cross of St. Peter, or the Petrine Cross, is a sacred symbol associated with the martyrdom of St. Peter. According to Catholic tradition, the inverted cross came about because a (to-be executed) Peter requested it. As he felt unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus had.
For some reason, it became associated with the occult. Which horror movies ran with hard. But it has a much longer history associated with St. Peter.

1). The Conjuring 2
The demon inverts all the crosses on the wall.

2). They Will Kill You
The guy the antagonists worship speaks through a pig's head. In a refrigerated room filled with inverted crosses.

3). Rosemary's Baby
