On of the Peculiars eats through a fanged mouth on the back of her head. She is hesitant to eat in front of Jake, clearly ashamed of her unusual body.
Enoch animates the body of a boy whose eyes were eaten by the hollowgast in order to scare Jake away. The body's mouth moves like that of a puppet and says "Hello Jake. Do you want to know what killed me?" Miss Peregrine then hugs the dead boy.
Various depictions of horror in the film can be seen more realistic.
The monsters take out the eyes of their victims.
Other frightening scenes include one that features black-and-white photographs of people with hollowed-out eye sockets, as well as some scenes where scary-looking puppets made up of animal parts come alive to battle each other, with the winner brandishing the loser's heart (although they aren't actually alive and Enoch just does it for amusement. Also, the sequence is clearly stop motion).
There are also some intense sequences in the film, such as when a gigantic monster goes after the children in the home, and another when skeletons are brought to life to help battle the monsters.
