Animatronic bands scare me.

Remember the animatronic band at Chuck E. Cheese? I remember going under the stage into the "cheese" and hearing the freaky robots above me. You could hear every robotic sounding move they made. Why was Chuck E. Cheese always so dark? Maybe they were trying to go for a bar/lounge look? I'm pretty sure they served beer and people smoke cigarette's, so it was kind of like a bar for little kids. The ball pit always smelled of sweat. Not BO but that little kid sweat smell.
When Chuck E. Cheese reopened about 7 years ago I had to check it out. To my disappointment it was nothing like the Chuck E. Cheese of my childhood. It was all light and didn't have that, "this is a little bit scary" feeling to it.
