Started merging with the Fridge Horror page. Feel free to continue the process yourself.

Added DiffLines:

* At the start of Homestuck, [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=001906 the player moves a cake off a magic chest]] to help [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=001907 John retrieve his fake arms.]] If you look at the FridgeBrilliance above, you realize John's hands are represented the mouse hand icon as he moves the cake. However, what if no player was playing the game? Imagine being John, doing nothing in his room one day until he starts [[HearingVoices hearing random voices commanding him to retrieve his arms,]] and as he goes to retrieve them in an attempt to stop the voices, [[MindOverMatter witnesses the cake floats on its own to the bed.]] If no player was present to give him commands, then [[SanitySlippage John could believe he is losing his mind,]] become the victim of an [[{{Invisibility}} invisible]] [[DemonicPossession demon,]] or worse factoring in the possibility of doomed timelines. Shudder...


Added DiffLines:

* John captchalogues Casey the Salamander before he blasts off on his jetpack. ...So [[AndIMustScream what happens to her when he dies in the alternate timeline?]]
** Jade's death showed us that when a character with a sylladex dies, their inventory empties. Instead of being locked inside a sylladex card, she would just have been killed by the Denizen. Not a brilliant upside, but still, better than being in limbo forever.
** Considering we know that it's possible for a living being to be captchalogued, what if someone were to punch said captchalogue card?
** Dream Jade didn't have a sylladex. The ring was on her finger. Eternal limbo still applies.
** Dreamselves don't have sylladexes. John at that point wasn't even a dreamself anyways.


Added DiffLines:

* In the 'Unite' animation, Dirk flies into the Skaianet lab, which is being destroyed by Red Miles. Several hours previously, that same room was filled with Roxy's over 200 cats.

* There's a good reason why Lil' Cal is the header picture for the DemonicDummy page, and used to also be on the [[NightmareFuel/{{Webcomics}} Webcomics sub-page]] of NightmareFuel. As one person on the forums described, marionettes are already creepy, firmly in the UncannyValley. Lil' Cal lives in the ''Uncanny Laurentian Abyss'' ([[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scraps/cal_gamebro.gif animated GIF link for reference]]). Hussie took this to eleven by making Lord English basically a giant demonic Cal.

* The reason Jack is so evil? The Black Queen made him wear a bunch of silly outfits. There is literally ''no'' other reason for it. This man killed his ruler, stole her powers, went on a murderous rampage and tried to destroy an entire universe...[[DisproportionateRetribution all because his boss made him wear a bunch of silly outfits]]. In any other universe this would be [[BlackComedy hilarious]]. But in this case, It's presented in a completely serious light and makes Jack one of the most heartless and cruel villains out there.

* Volume 8 gives us [[https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/frog-forager Frog Forager]]. Initially, this seems ridiculous, with the seemingly adorable artwork and with the song at first just sounding like some peaceful music from EarthBound. Then around twenty seconds in, an eerie, high-pitched, off-kilter sound starts playing in the background and persists throughout the song, and eventually the EarthBound-iness just stops and the song is [[NothingIsScarier just those sinister sounds]] before returning to normal for the ending. And the artwork? Take a closer look. [[SinisterSilhouettes See anything wrong with it?]] The song and artwork both seem happy but have that subtle malevolence that makes it incredibly frightening.

* As the meteor passes LOTAK, Jade's BARKs can be heard even before she appears to the crew in a violent flash and display of flames. Grimbarkness is now scarier in that it doesn't make her a mere wild WolfMan but instead apparently leaves her mental faculties and memories mostly intact, possibly making it harder to turn her back and even making her responsible for her actions in a manner relevant to the judgment of her next death.
