History NightmareFuel / AtopTheFourthWall

* Lord Vyce. He's a MultiversalConqueror considered the most feared being throughout the multiverse. He's managed to ''kill gods'', and [[CurbStompBattle effortlessly took out Linkara.]] And the kicker? He's doing it [[WellIntentionedExtremist to save reality]] [[UpToEleven from something even worse than him.]]

*** The whole storyline is chock-full of [[AdultFear real world fears]]. Brutal child abuse? [[SanitySlippage Losing your grip on reality?]] Being abandoned and shunned by those you care about? [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Losing your most important memories without knowing it?]] Being responsible for the death of your ''own'' child? Nothing imaginary about those.

* The scene of The Gunslinger kidnapping Margaret is bound to induce a ton of AdultFear.

* The entirety of the Winter of '83 April Fools Analog Horror mini-series is this, demonstrating a masterful use of public domain footage, editing, and voicework by Lewis and his friends to create a surprisingly [[{{Pun}} chilling]] storyline.

* ''[[ComicBook/MalibuComicsStreetFighter Street Fighter #1]]'': Cue cred- wait, what's happening to the video?!...time's up...what?! WHAT?! And then Linkara finds a new entry in the journal:

*** Linksano is confused, then horrified at ''something'' [[NothingIsScarier heading towards him,]] and he is completely powerless to stop it, in a way that makes it clear that whatever stole him away is much more horrifying than Vyce's coming in the previous arc.

** Crossing over with TearJerker, [[TheReveal it turns out]] that Billy Tor [[FromNobodyToNightmare was an ordinary hiker]] who stumbled on the site of the Loxely Prison Massacre, where five hundred minimum security inmates were murdered on the Colorado governor's orders to preserve food rations during a famine. Thanks to knowing magic, the dying inmates cursed Billy to carry out their desire for retribution, meaning every time he died, one soul was laid to rest while another took control. [[MindHive In short, he's a walking corpse driven by hundreds of vengeful souls,]] and [[DueToTheDead only a message of apology and restitution broadcast by Linksano is able to lay them to rest]].

''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' is a funny review show... that features an EldritchAbomination, a KillerRobot / ManipulativeBastard, a MultiversalConqueror, a gun PoweredByAForsakenChild, and a hero who is edging further and further into AntiHero to the point of nightmarishness. Yeah, Linkara is ''really'' good at creating plots that fill us with terror.

** Also in that review's "Extreme!" RunningGag, there is a FreezeFrameBonus...which includes these ''[[SarcasmMode delightful]]'' messages: "Beware the architects of mirrors," "We have seen its harbinger. It is the sayer of doom," and, "She was left behind, now she's making plans."

* In ''Clive Barker's Hellraiser Spring Slaughter'', while shifting through alternate realities at rapid fire, that grim reaper figure that Linkara briefly encountered in ''The Real Ghostbusters in Ghostbusters II #1-3'' appears again, this time in Linkara's ''home''. It says one line before dissolving into static in a way eerily similar to [=MissingNo=].'s eyes.
--> ''Now... comes... your... dooms... day...''

** The next episdoe has Linksano state that in his universe, Billy has a body count in the ''hundreds'', and [[KarmaHoudini the police haven't been able to do anything about him]].

* Linkara's newest opponent is [[OurSlashersAreDifferent Billy Torr, a telepathic Slasher.]] Who knows what kind of MindRape he'll bring to the table while hunting Linkara. Worse, Billy has [[DefeatingTheUndefeatable already defeated Pilo]] and [[ItCanThink is smart enough to forbid Linkara from using Pyramidhead or the ghosts.]]

* At the end of ''Superman and the TRS-80 Computer Whiz Kids: Victory by Computer'', Linkara finally has the message from the future decoded. A mere glance at the first line sends him into a sheer panic that he orders EVERYONE aboard Comicron-1 immediately. What line would get him so panicked? "A piece of the world is still missing".

* At the end of ''Youngblood: Judgement Day'', Linkara has a pleasant chat with fellow champion Tyler, the Blue Knight of Titan. However, the coversion turns dark at the end when Tyler gives Linkara a warning: Lord Vyce had sympathizers who [[NecessaryEvil agreed with his methods]], and who might be gunning for Linkara.

** Which is then mitigated by his reaction: "[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Oh, it is ON now!]]"

*** [[TheReveal The reveal]] of the 90's Kid's true nature is pretty horrifying in it's implications. Imagine that everyone else has disappeared, and you're stuck with only one other person for company. But then the other person, who you've known for a while and know their quirks, [[OutofCharacterAlert says something that you know is out of character for them.]] And then suddenly everything begins to click; the small strange behaviors you've seen from that person, the inexplicable and convenient nature of the situation, the fact that the other person was always around the people who had disappeared yet hadn't disappeared themselves... And then it's revealed why: [[HidinginPlainSight that other person is an imposter,]] the cause of the disappearances, and you're [[AloneWithThePsycho completely alone with them, and you don't have any way of getting away from them.]]

* Planet of the Symbiotes: The combination of the murky lighting, odd angle and extremely freaky effect when 90's Kid opens his eyes showing light and static, revealing that 90's Kid is already gone and Linkara's alone with [[EldritchAbomination the Entity]] results in an image that seems very alien, and extremely disturbing.

** Really, the way the Entity goes about stalking and stealing Linkara's friends and associates is pretty unsettling in itself. In order:

*** Harvey's own disappearance isn't as unsettling, but the implications for his reactions prior to him being stolen are unsettling in their own right. He takes a long look at the Absent Grimoire left behind, and because of what he was doing prior to reading it, he [[EurekaMoment instantly realizes]] [[OhCrapto his own horror]] ''what'' exactly the Lost Beast is long before everyone else. [[HeKnowsTooMuch And then the Entity is right there to make sure he can't get the message to Linkara,]] and all he can do is [[NoSell fire his gun in futility against it]].
*** Pollo's own disappearance is pretty horrifying in itself. Imagine being sent to a different area of the house, less than ''one room'' away from your friends and family...and then being disappeared without a trace by some unknowable being. More specifically, the being you were trying to prepare for by setting up more defenses in that room you were in. It only really emphasizes that even in their own house, less than a room's distance away, ''no one is safe''.

*** The Ninja Style Dancer is seen throughout multiple episodes skulking around, only to [[ParanoiaFuel constantly run into the Entity.]] And all he can do is disappear via smokescreen. [[HopeSpot And then finally, a bedraggled Ninja manages to meet up with Linkara, giving him a cryptic message, and possibly finally getting some help...]]only for Linkara to turn around for a few seconds too long, and [[YanktheDogsChain the Entity to suddenly appear and take the Ninja away. And the Ninja is completely helpless to stop him due to his exhaustion and injuries.]]
