It should be no surprise that a horror comic should have some really dark and scary moments.
!!Horrors that will haunt your dreams include:
* The spectral image that nearly causes Cail to crash when she's driving herself and her dad home from school. Whether or not that thing was tangible (there's some reason to think it wasn't) it could have resulted in a serious car wreck, in which among other things Cail or her father might have been hurt or killed. This possibility is obviously in her dad's mind, as ''he'' didn't see the image and nevertheless was severely shaken.
* The way in which the Shadow Under Hearthbrook enters its victims' dreams. We've seen some of these from the POV of the dreamers (and some of those dreams are Nightmare Fuel all by themselves), and we have read about the particularly-nasty recurring dreams that afflicted Wesley Perkovitch before he [[spoiler:turned into the Wesley-Thing]].

**Emma's dream. The implication of the way she was screaming in that dream was that she could ''feel the pain'' of the chains fused with her leg (probably drawing on her suppressed memories of her agony recovering from the real plane crash).
**Josh's dream. Not just the creepiness of being chased and attacked by a Shadow Beast, but the fact that he was ''physically pulled into the dream through a portal'' and ''bore the marks of the attack after waking.'' Was it a dream? Another spacetime? Who knows?
** Wesley's dreams.
