** Amie Huguenard's death will be terrifying when left to the imagination. She may have been so traumatised and [[SurvivorsGuilt guilt ridden]] for failing to rescue Timothy that she couldn't [[HeroicBSOD defend herself or escape from the bear when it came back.]]

*** To make the point clearer for those who do not know about Creator/WernerHerzog... well, we are talking about a guy who once during an interview got shot by an unseen sniper, and his response was to say, "It was not a significant bullet. I am not afraid." Among Herzog fans, this incident is considered ''the tip of the iceberg'' among his antics. And yet this CrazyAwesome man who's MadeOfIron was visibly shaken by the audio record. And he advised the tape be ''destroyed''.

** And it's not just that they were eaten by bears. The audio itself is six minutes long, during which Treadwell ''is alive and conscious'' while being gored, which means that the attack was neither quick nor painless. Treadwell's girlfriend tried to fight the bear off but failed, powerless to stop the bear from dragging Treadwell into the woods, and left alone by herself before the bear came back for her. Here's [[TheOtherWiki The Other Wiki's]] description of what was ''left'' of them ('''NSFW/NSFL'''): [[spoiler:"The mangled remains of Treadwell and Huguenard were discovered quickly upon investigation. Treadwell's disfigured head, partial spine, and right forearm and hand, with his wrist watch still on, were recovered a short distance from the camp. Huguenard's partial remains were found next to the torn and collapsed tents, partially buried in a mound of twigs and dirt."]] It's the most horrific sort of death imaginable.

** What's particularly scary about Herzog's reaction to the audio is the very quiet way he says, "Turn it off," when he's finally had enough. There's something artificial about his calm that seems to indicate he's trying very hard not to freak out. [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth Werner Herzog is freaked out]]. Eventually you see tears coming from his eyes and his hands trembling from the tape.

* Some of Treadwell's rants can be a bit disturbing at times. Some rants that come to mind are the ones involving poachers and a particular instance where he's in his tent and starts yelling for various deities (God, Allah, and some Hindu gods) to send rain and end a drought that's afflicting the animals he loves so much. While it's not always the ''content'' that's disturbing, his general demeanor can be unsettling; at some points he appears to be emotionally unstable (exhibiting wild mood swings) and extremely paranoid. Can double as a TearJerker when you think about how badly he needed help and never got it.

*** [[FromBadToWorse There are pictures.]] Just Googling Treadwell's name brings them up. This troper isn't sure if they're authentic or not, but they look like they could be, and that's more than enough to make BrainBleach sound real appealing after viewing said images.

* A movie about a man [[BearsAreBadNews eaten by bears]] is bad enough. Then there's Herzog's reaction to the ApocalypticLog... Also just the idea that a guy could be ''[[TooDumbToLive this pathetically stupid]]''...
** He loved bears to a tragically high degree; to the point where he felt that love was enough to protect him from the bears and vise versa. Bears are wild animals for a reason.
