"Damn" is used a few times.

Hell is used in the opening number song.

During the "Magic Dance" number, goblins are seen drinking some unknown beverage drawn into their steins from a keg while they party, with one goblin lying like a drunkard with his mouth open under the tap trying to catch any excess drops.

A peach Jareth has Hoggle give Sarah induces a surreal dream sequence very much like a drug trip which is followed by amnesia, heavily implying that it's been spiked with something hallucinogenic.

A paranoia-inducing scene in Toby's darkened bedroom with goblins popping out from various places, laughing at Sarah behind her back, and then disappearing before she can turn around to see them.

Ludo's tormenters has toothy stick monsters.

Sarah and Hoggle's encounter with the "cleaner" machine, a metallic tunnel-filling device that threatens them with numerous whirling blades and spikes that look capable of shredding flesh and bone.

The "Bog of Eternal Stench" makes anyone who falls into it stink forever. A couple of sequences in which characters are in serious danger of falling into it.

The surreal masquerade ball shows its participants' strange behaviour and Sarah's obvious confusion over Jareth's romantic overtures to her.
