** Here's a picture of what Eddie looks like. [[http://www.hhncrypt.com/years/icons/eddie4.jpg]]

* 2008's Reflections of Fear website was a full-blown interactive story, focusing on a fictionalized "origin" of the Bloody Mary legend. The story follows Dr. Mary Agana, a psychologist, attempting to cure her patients of their fears through a dangerous experimental therapy - place them in dangerous situations where they're forced to face their fears, or face deadly consequences. However, one of the experiments really does end up killing a patient, and Mary begins to realize she ''enjoys'' watching her victims suffer and eventually die. The site decays right along with Mary's mental health. Her pristine lab becomes a dark, chaotic mess. Her professional notes [[ApocalypticLog turn to]] [[NightmareFuelColoringBook childishly morbid scribbles]]. The worst part has to be her narration, which go from a desperate bid to maintain control over herself, and fully giving herself over to her sadistic pleasure, with the glee of a kid in a candy store. [[NightmareFetishist The humming and giggling and moaning]] peppered throughout does not help.

* The Director. An [[AxCrazy ax crazy]] snuff film director who lets his actors get only '''one''' take. He calls it a [[TroubleEntendre a short take.]]

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYTWNc78Fz0 26 commercial]] has [[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryFreakshow Twisty]], [[Film/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]], [[Series/TheWalkingDead Walkers]], and [[Film/TheExorcist Reagan MacNeil]] going after a guy who screams in terror, which is bad enough. But the opera music somehow makes it creepier. Chance's own scream at the end [[SensoryAbuse doesn't help either]]. "Face horror beyond your wildest screams" indeed.

* Much of the music used during the event. (Thank you very much, MidnightSyndicate.)

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZYcEmj4RFM Cold Blind Terror queue video]] is '''extreme nightmare fuel.''' It combines some of the most horrifying and gruesome clips from movies like [[NightmareFuel/DayOfTheDead Day of the Dead]] and [[NightmareFuel/TheRing The Ring]] and adds on a disorienting effect to the clips combined with disturbing sounds. '''Viewer discretion is heavily advised.'''

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahW2F_buRng queue video for Blood Ruins]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfgOo9IqfEg second half of queue video here]]) again uses clips from different movies such as TheNameOfTheRose and TheCell, this time to give off a hopeless and apocalyptic feeling. The clips include (but not limited to), people being burned at the stake, someone's intestines being removed in the most painful way imaginable, and people being subjected to a wide variety of classic torture devices.

** The tagline for that year was "You'll never sleep again!" Yeah, no kidding.

** The 2005 website fittingly describes it as "''A horizon of horror you were told exists only in nightmares.''" and "''A world that the practical mind refuses to see, the rational mind will not accept, and the stable mind dismisses as impossible.''"

* Then there was also '''Asylum in Wonderland''', which, while actually a bit more playful than the typical scarezone, still managed to feel like a giant acid trip from hell, with its disorienting lighting and [[HellIsThatNoise creepy background noises.]]

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcwsz5r3fNE Demon Cantina queue video]], especially the [[HellIsThatNoise really unsettling sound of revving engines]] at the beginning and end of it. You may never look at (or hear) motorcycles the same way again.

** On a side note, we should add that really much of the 2005 website is pretty heavy nightmare fuel, with its rather disturbing descriptions of Terra Cruentus as well as creepy music and occasional jump scares to boot. You can find an archived version of it [[http://horrornights.be/websites.php here]].

* The whole idea of "Terra Cruentus" world from the 2005 event (set inside Islands of Adventure). It's a world that literally operates off of the "sacrificing" of victims, as basically everything in that world needs blood, including for the soil, harvesting, and for the creation of weapons. So naturally, the murdering of people is commonplace there.
