Because Alex from A Clockwork Orange is a sick, twisted individual. The idea that Maggie thinking about her Father killing loads of people and her Mother committing suicide is... well... dark. So the revelation that she always thinks about this sort of scenario is very scary - the scariest thing to come out of this Halloween special.

And also, the animation was gorgeous. The smoothness of her putting on her bowler hat and tipping it was a joy to watch. So fluid for the nowadays stiff animation that this show constantly parades about nowadays.
