6. The Nightmare Before Christmas: Spooky Slot Machines

In The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), a rather creepy Easter egg occurs in the scene in which slot machines turn spooky "one-armed bandits." Rather than the typical lucky 7s, these machines show the rather unsettling 13s.

It's just another example of the dark humor this film has and really fits in with its themes of all things spooky, not to mention its nod to Tim Burton's gothic style.

Fans of animation and horror alike will appreciate how this small detail enhances the film's whimsical yet eerie tone, making it a hidden gem.
