* The clouds show an [[https://www.homestuck.com/story/3414]] of Gamzee's flashing eye.

* The clouds show an [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005314 image]] of Gamzee's flashing eye.

* Karkat finally gets in touch with [[TheStoner Gamzee]] only to learn that [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005258 the chillest motherfuckin troll has flipped his motherfuckin shit.]]

* Lord English's formal introduction in [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006011 Intermission 2]]. Complete with honking, and the same sort of sarcophagus previously seen in Jade's house.

* Caliborn's "Land," if the opening panels of [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007341 Act 6 Intermission 4]] leave no guesses.

** And you thought Caliborn was scary just as he appeared on-screen? The rest of his [[TheReveal Reveal]] puts it UpToEleven. He doesn't follow up his previous ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' references by cutting off his leg. He [[AnArmAndALeg GNAWS it off]], crudely fitting a robot leg on the fresh wound and spitting out the tooth that's in the same position as LE's golden tooth. Then, we see a familiar object-duality weapon: LE's cane-gun, except in black. Finally, his Cruxtruder's kernelsprite turns into a black hole that sucks in his planet and the meteor before it could enter the game, and all he can do the whole time is grin or smug in glee and contentedness. Oh, and not to mention that ''the red sun and the aforementioned black hole together look like'' [[Videogame/{{Earthbound}} Giygas]]!?

* The second half of [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004748 [S] Jade: Wake Up]], wherein Jade meets the Elder Gods in her dreams.

* To go from a [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005400 calm]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005403 dinner]] to [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005404 being]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005405 stalked]] by Jack Noir without seeing what happens next is terrifying. It's probably no coincidence that the wine stains look like blood stains... Next time they're shown, [[TearJerker they're dead]].

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002150 Act 2's opener]] is initially relieving; John somehow survived and his home intact. But relief quickly turns to confusion as John's neighborhood is gone. Suddenly his house is in some type of empty void, and John himself momentarily appears stuck in time. Soon, we see eyes peek from the shadows, and the only accompaniment is ''silence''. Everything you thought you know about ''Homestuck'' is gone, and John's world is only going to get darker from here.

* If the faux Jailbreak adventure is anything to go by, Jack's first thought is to [[KnifeNut stab everyone]], even if it isn't necessary and if he's trying to [[AccidentalMurder keep them alive.]]

* Jane is about to get the mail when it explodes in her face. [[AdultFear While her father was watching.]]

** What's worse, apparently The Squiddles are actually the human's perception of the Horrorterrors. With the Squiddles [[TastesLikeDiabetes being the Squiddles]], this might [[NightmareRetardant take away some of the Horrorterrors' scariness]] but think about it; your favorite children's show could very well be the human perception of a freakin' EldritchAbomination. [[ParanoiaFuel And you would never even know]].

** And after the [[TastesLikeDiabetes not-too-scary]] intro to [=A6A5A2=] (with a possible exception for one's knowledge of the extent of her power), Jane heads off to LOMAX. Why? [[LoveMakesYouCrazy Take]] [[IfICantHaveYou a wild]] [[{{Yandere}} guess]].

* So Gamzee and Dave [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005927 finally talk]]. It's disturbing for a number of reasons. First, the image of Gamzee flashstepping as he moves around Tavros' corpse, with his blood around his mouth, heavily implying he's tasting it and/or making out with it. Second, Dave is now partly responsible for Gamzee sobering up, thanks to making him doubt his religion when linking him to the Miracles music video. FunnyAneurysmMoment, much? Third, it's revealed that Gamzee is responsible for Dave's nightmares of Lil' Cal and John's writing on the wall, adding a touch of ParanoiaFuel to the situation. For bonus points Gamzee claims that Lil' Cal is telling him to kill everyone and is his only friend now that Tavros is dead. Finally, the "inside source" that Dave claims sent him the ICP video ahead of time? It's Betty Crocker, who according to Nannasprite is a HumanoidAbomination. And that's just the tip of the iceberg here.

** "[[http://itsclassybronotclassic.tumblr.com/post/52933884626/this-is-quite-possibly-the-most-unsettling-thing This is quite possibly the most unsettling thing in I’ve seen in Homestuck.]] It is incredibly powerful, and it invokes a feeling of emptiness and panic. In all 6,000 pages of Homestuck there has never been a time where you have truly lost track of someone. They are never lost, because somehow the narrator always manages to find them again. The line “John Egbert has gone missing” is the realization that ''you'' are no longer in control."

* Doc Scratch's [[FamousLastWords last words]]: [[WhamLine "S u c k]] [[ThanatosGambit e r s ."]]

* Eridan and Vriska [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004360 reminisce about their FLARPing days.]] What makes it terrifying? The fact that Vriska is [[PsychicAssistedSuicide using mind-control to force trolls to commit suicide]], just like she did to Tavros, over and over again. We've been told that she's a serial killer before, but this is the first time the full impact of it hits you. [[NothingIsScarier Not to mention the fact that the entire scene is in silhouette.]]

* 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...

[[folder: Meta and Fan Content]]
* Volume 7 of the Homestuck Album has various indescribably awesome songs, but there are some that just make it their job to be creepy as hell.
** [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-carnival The Carnival]]: Honking in the tune of Harlequin.
** [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/havoc-to-be-wrought Havoc to be Wrought]]: The whole track gives off a sense of foreboding, but definitely nothing scary... until the last 30 seconds, where we get the lovely sound of something from the bowels of hell itself screeching in agony into a broken microphone. [[note]]It's a barn owl screeching with effects added on.[[/note]]
*** If you listen closely, it actually sounds like someone choking or screaming. We could have been hearing the demise of the Sufferer or Equius being strangled to death.
* 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.
* If you want to get into the scary shit going on in the albums, give Red Sucker from Cherubim a listen. The odd crying noises that come up in it make it sound as though Caliborn is beating some cute little creature to death during the track. Euch.
** And FridgeHorror makes it worse! Remember what Lord English is [[KillEmAll allegedly doing]] to [[EldritchAbomination the Horrorterrors]], who [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm look like]] cute little creatures to us?
* The last two tracks on "The Wanderers." "What A Daring Dream" has eerie whispering voices that seem to be quoting the Morse code from WV's nightmare and "Nightmare"...well, [[{{ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin}} it's called "Nightmare" for a reason.]]
* "The Felt" brings us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zMnNCDaKuE "English"]], the theme of, well, [[BigBad Lord English.]] It starts off with a slow, almost sad piano section, which serves as a prelude to the main section. At around 0:40, a tense buildup starts while the piano section keeps going. Around the 0:50 mark, a harpsichord tune starts playing, with a warning feeling, letting the listener know that something is wrong. At around 1:07, another buildup starts, this time with an almost triumphant feeling, before transitioning smoothly into the main song. Here we have a tense bassline played on piano, with the melody played on piano for a bit. It then goes into a section where the melody is played backwards, and from there, it gets intense. This is where you really know the shit's finally been plain wrecked by the fan.
* Homestuck is a very bloody comic, but the effect is less shocking, as most of the blood is technicolor. Some people have edited some of the troll's bloodier panels red, and [[http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lufo9zhK1t1qf6c8so1_1280.gif the results]] [[http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lufo9zhK1t1qf6c8so2_1280.png are not]] [[http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lufo9zhK1t1qf6c8so3_1280.png pretty]].
* [[http://mspfanventures.com/?adv=1018 Heinoustuck]]. Basically, it takes place in a world where kids have to go through a rite of passage known as "transmutation" when they turn thirteen, a process that [[BodyHorror mutates them horribly]], [[PainfulTransformation is implied to be painful]], [[ImmortalityImmorality renders people immortal]], takes four days to complete and, in Rose and Jade's cases [[NotHimself alters their personalities]]. The results we see include Dave having been changed into a grotesque [[WingedHumanoid human/crow]] [[HalfHumanHybrid hybrid]], with a beaked face like a plague doctor mask and a katana through his abdomen (think Davesprite), Rose being given [[HumanoidAbomination long tentacles for arms]] and a [[GlasgowGrin stitched on]] CheshireCatGrin, and Jade being fused with Bec turning her into a radioactive MultiArmedAndDangerous RealityWarper who has become [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity quite emotionally imbalanced after gaining omnipotence]]. John is, understandably, terrified of it happening to him and avoids his dad throughout the story to make sure it doesn't happen ([[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=1018&p=74 and speaking of his dad...]]) but [[AllThereInTheManual the handy manual]] shows us that it's inevitable.
** [[http://mspfanventures.com/?adv=1018&id=138 Vriska's appearance]] does not look like one that would be appreciated by people who are afraid of spiders.
** [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=1018&p=156 And now we get to see what Mom Lalonde (and by extension, Roxy) looks like]]. [[HumanoidAbomination Mother of God...]]
** [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7fl4sk59I1qkhx1bo1_1280.gif The rest of the trolls (and the post-scratch kids)]] are no better: Sollux's body has been ripped in half down the middle and crudely stitched back together (not to mention the two heads, with one eye each), Kanaya has insect-like fangs and six insectoid legs like her mother grub lusus, Tavros' jousting lance has been impaled through his chest, Dirk's jaw is hinged like Lil Cal's, Feferi is an eldritch horror with dozens of tentacles sprouting from her head and too many eyes, Jane's fork is sticking out of her head (with a bit of brain on the end), Jake's helmet IS his head, etc., etc., etc. Oh, and absolutely everyone is dripping with blood and covered with stitches. Yeesh.
** WordOfGod has stated that transmutation is not painful. However, agitating the wounds is. Not that that helps much.
** Rose's fate in particular becomes a nice bit of FridgeHorror considering what happened to pre-recton Rose. CheshireCatGrin? Check. Cat ears and a hat? Check. Tendrils? Check, albeit in different places. The most disturbing part however might be that her personality is altered in a similar way, becoming more cheery with occasional cat smiles, which is cute... until you think too much about [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant what she's actually saying.]]
* Remember when Calsprite was laughing his ass off at Dave near the middle of Act 4? Well, the good folks over at [[https://www.youtube.com/user/HomestuckColab?feature=watch Let's Read Homestuck]] replicated this using - [[TheLongList are you ready]]? A mixture of Heaven Smile from Killer 7, Laugh from the beginning of [[{{Music/Gorillaz}} Feel Good Inc.,]] Gruntilda from Banjo Kazooie, Tidus from Final Fantasy X, Woody the Woodpecker, Joker (Hamill), Joker (Ledger), Joker (Romero), Joker (Nicholson) or the laughing box at the end of '89 batman, Mandark from Dexter's Lab, Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown, and Kefka from Final Fantasy VI. Oh, and as if that wasn't enough, they then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FddbkYIxcNw&feature=plcp looped it for a whole hour]]. Good luck sleeping tonight.
** Speaking of "Let's Read Homestuck", Scratch's '''"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO '''''KILL''''' HER!"''' line is even ''scarier'' there, with his VoiceOfTheLegion and how [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness uncharacteristically angry he sounds]]. And by "angry", we mean ''"enraged"''.
** Their version of his "S u c k e r s" line isn't much better; it ''echoes''.
** Scratch is also [[MediumAwareness aware of the medium and the change of medium]]. Think about what [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou that]] [[ParanoiaFuel implies]]...
** Another one from Let's Read Homestuck is the reveal of Lord English. While the above line of Doc Scratch's is frightening, but not his normal voice, English sounds downright (yet understandably) '''hellish''', with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2RzNSTcciA&list=PLHO1rc05qiGtAidSBy_8jsEOlHXR6x4cd&index=104 this cacophony]] (skip to 46:36) being his ''normal voice''. Thank GOD he doesn't talk much...
** Sober!Gamzee's murderous rant is even worse when voiced, especially the part about the slime. You can hear the pure rage and loathing in his voice. Given that he sounded like a stoned idiot before this, it's utterly terrifying to hear him start screaming and whispering.
* One of the Ask Nepetas that Master Yorgi had voiced was a question regarding Nepeta's opinion of dogs. She starts saying "Well, they're ok-", but suddenly remembers the destruction of Derse. Screaming, crying, growling, and demonic music combine into a terrifying entry in an otherwise light-hearted series.
** For Halloween, Master Yorgi made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95kgMvE6-co&feature=player_embedded this]]. Enjoy. If you're too scared to click, [[spoiler:it's Gamzee just after he ripped the trolls' heads off, rambling to himself, hearing the trolls' voices in his head, crying and begging him not to kill them while simultaneously hearing both his own voice and [[DemonicDummy Lil' Cal's]] urging him to kill them and Cal [[LaughingMad cackling insanely in the background]]. To make matters worse, Gamzee repeatedly flips between a relatively normal look and a nasty, Zalgo-like look, and it culminates in him ''[[MadnessMantra singing "Bicycle Built for Two" to]] [[ALoveToDismember Tavros' severed head]]''. Tavros' last line is humorous, but still...]] Can double as Tearjerker when the viewer is attached to the characters.
*** Similarly, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdfmCzVswHY this Ask Gamzee video]] has someone ask the question of whether Gamzee would ever kill all his friends or not. Gamzee says with a sad expression that he would never and that it's not cool... [[spoiler: while the screen flickers between regular stoned Gamzee and a nightmarish sober Gamzee accompanied with screams.]]
** And just for a bit more Nepeta, ''definitely'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3R9Hy0yPM8 this]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RES2bgmHAMI Octo's Homestuck Alarm Clocks]] has a lot of hilarity...and then [[DemonicDummy Lil' Cal]] appears.
-->'''Cal''': [[EvilLaugh AHH HAA HAA HAA HEE HEE HEE HOO HOO HOO!]] It's time to wake up! You'd better get up! ''[[ImpliedDeathThreat Or else.]]''
* A tumblr theory on what happens to the God Tier players left behind failed sessions. [[http://rue-of-equality.tumblr.com/post/56008600876/attackofthepartycannon-shadowofthelamp Also can double as a]] TearJerker.
* The KinkMeme fill ''Reprise'' managed to upset its requester, who had specifically wanted TorturePorn, to the point that she's now co-writing its spinoff ''FanFic/{{Hivefled}}'', which has the potential for a happy ending, but is putting everyone through the wringer on the way.
* [[http://asktheheiress.tumblr.com/post/11819069756 Contract, Feferi?]]
* The 'Homestuck The Musical' fan project, though not complete, has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY_ulImUbAw Welcome to the Dark Carnival]], a VillainSong for Gamzee sung in the tune of the aforementioned Carnival song.
* [[http://msparp.com/chat/81bf41efed4e4015a8eb05ad7c6454c1/log This]] MSPARP showing an encounter between Dualscar and the Handmaid. Especially when the Handmaid bursts into maniacal laughter near the end.
* The fanmade [[http://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/oh-hi-there-lil-cal Oh Hi There, Lil Cal]] would not sound out of place in a horror film. Considering [[DemonicDummy its subject]]...
** It also fits surprisingly well with the MSPA Reader: Mental Breakdown flash, being about the same length, though this is most likely just a coincidence.
* [[http://gorey-wog.tumblr.com/post/126282593820/headcanon-bros-worst-fear-is-powerlessness-so This comic]] takes the interpretation that Bro was messed up because of Lil' Cal's influence and runs with it. The result is horrifying.

* [[http://askcr33pernepeta.tumblr.com/post/18161748241/33-well-33-do-you This comic]], where Nepeta [[spoiler: was the one who went crazy on the meteor, and murders ''everyone,'' even Equius!]] It's also [[http://askcr33pernepeta.tumblr.com/post/21832047445/serenadingdemons-original been]] [[http://askcr33pernepeta.tumblr.com/post/18785078993/flutterbutts-ask-cr33per-nepeta-original dubbed.]] [[http://askcr33pernepeta.tumblr.com/post/18300845605/lomav-what-if-nepeta-was-the-one-who-went Thrice.]]

* While [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-19Up0dLzNw this flash animation]] of the trolls' battle against the Black King is mostly [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome awesome]] and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious]], it has its nightmarish moments.
** Terezi scaling up the Black King and [[EyeScream impaling the large eye of one of his heads with her cane]], causing it to be covered with blood as a result.
** At one point in the battle, Terezi throws one of Gamzee's slime pie conntainers at the back of his head, causing [[spoiler: his expression to change to a deranged SlasherSmile and furiously leap towards one of the Black King's heads while brandishing his clubs. The Black King seems to scream as images including sober Gamzee, Karkat's fearful expression from [S] All Behold the Glory of Zillyhoo, and [[DemonicDummy Lil Cal]] flash across the screen and it briefly cuts out as we hear the sound of thunder.]] When it comes back, Gamzee is back to normal as Karkat stares at him in shock while blood rains down from the sky, and we see that Gamzee [[spoiler: absolutely ''obliterated one of the King's heads''.]] When Karkat said Gamzee dealt the most damage in a single blow out of the whole group, he ''meant it.''
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw9n8-9rD-g This]] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw9n8-9rD-g extension]]'' of Eternity Served Cold manages to be creepy due to a little "easter egg" thrown in - The artwork for the video features Calliope and Caliborn. Caliborn looks a tad creepy with the blood on his fangs and spirals in his eyes, but it's not too frightening. Then around the 12 minute mark, [[spoiler: the artwork begins to fade as static sounds interrupt the song, and the artwork fades completely as the laugh from The Lordling plays. The artwork comes back... except now Caliborn is in the center, alone, and [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou staring at the viewer.]]]]
** Made far worse for those familiar with {{Videogame/Undertale}}, due to [[spoiler: the laugh being the same as a certain flower's.]]
* While [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/293595?view_full_work=true this fic]] was mostly just TearJerker, it describes (in thankfully not too much detail) [[CruelAndUnusualDeath Sollux's death]]. His powers painfully [[NotEnoughToBury burn him away from the inside out]].
* [[http://sadstuck-and-headcanons.tumblr.com/post/45359619221/emotionallytwisted-simpleruser-who-said This Tumblr post]], a set of gifs containing messages from the trolls and kids, who have somehow been transformed into horrorterrors, implied to be the result of [[DealWithTheDevil a deal Rose made with them]] gone horribly wrong. Each one features a squiddle icon in a troll's or kid's color, with the character alternating between declaring how happy they are in their new form and screaming in agony, begging for someone, anyone, to save them.
-->'''Karkat:''' I FEEL SO GOOD / I'M NOT MAD ANYMORE / I CAN'T I CAN'T / FUCK FUCK HELP
-->'''Kanaya:''' Please Join Me I Am Doing Quite Well / Please Save Yourselves / I Am Dying

-->'''Rose:''' It's better than I imagined. / The Old Ones love me. / They love us all very much. / MY FAULT MY FAULT / PLEASE FORGIVE ME / PLEASE!!!
** Among the trolls, poor Feferi's is probably the worst...
-->'''Feferi:''' I was so scared at first / )(ow was I so silly? / I'm with mom now 38) / [[AbusiveParents W)(Y MOM??]] / [[TearJerker YOU'R-E MY LUSUS]]
** John isn't even flipping between happy and terrified; his message consists of him screaming in horror and begging the horrorterrors(?) to spare his friends and kill him instead.
** It doesn't even end at the main characters; Jade's message implies that ''every single character'' was turned into a horrorterror.
-->'''Jade:''' everyone's here!! even grampa and bec!!
** Another blogger reblogged the gifset and explained its backstory, which makes it all the more horrifying--apparently, the gifs were made in response to earlier mentions of the dreambubbles. At the time, dreambubbles had only been vaguely alluded to by the comic, so the artist considered the possibility that maybe they weren't as pleasant as they sounded, especially since they were made by the Gods of the Furthest Ring. The end result was them portraying the dreambubbles as a sort of [[LotusEaterMachine illusory paradise]] where everyone is perpetually {{Mind Rape}}d whilst falsely believing that they're being given everything they want in the afterlife. This is why, for example, Dave's says [[AndIMustScream "i cant wake up"]] and why John (who was God-Tier and thus functionally immortal at the time) was unaffected.

** Later, it's strongly implied that [[MonsterSobStory the poor things]] are being ''brutally slaughtered by Lord English''.

** Betty Crocker's ads may be more fundamental to this timeline than just words. Consider for a minute what we appear to know about [[SubliminalSeduction Jane]], [[BadassGay Dirk]], [[PosthumousCharacter Jake]] and [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Roxy]].

* 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.

** Really, just '''''everything''''' about [[EldritchAbomination the Horrorterrors.]] ''Is it any wonder that they're the page image for both this page AND the [[NightmareFuel/WebComics Web Comics Nightmare Fuel]] page?!''

*** When she DOES get Jake cornered, she not only fits the definition of "Obsessive-type {{Yandere}}" to a T, but she is also now in a [[CallBack somewhat familiar]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007619 situation]] where she's cornering a [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004073 Page]] on a cliff.

* The good guys, using John's powers, teleport directly to Caliborn. Awesome right? They're gonna kick his ass? Well, apparently he doesn't "EVEN GIVE THEM A CHANCE." Whatever it may be, something VERY BAD is about to happen.

* Roxy gets dropped onto Derse by [=GCat=], and is found by the Condesce herself...

* All of the new lands look even more ominous than LOCAH. LOMAX has massive, terraced burial mounds with [[LandmarkOfLore red Stonehenge replicas]] and hordes of [[DemBones undead, walking skeletons]] of unprototyped minions all over, along with two massive canyons filled with glowing Xenon that [[ArtisticLicenseGeology encircle the entire planet]]. LOPAN, though it lacks visible monsters, features [[{{Bizarrchitecture}} ominously-lit pyramids]] and a dark sky [[AlienSky lit by unnatural, glowing, neon-colored wisps]]. But [[{{Mordor}} LOTAK]] takes the cake in Nightmare Fuel, with its [[PollutedWasteland presumably toxic atmosphere]], [[HostileWeather violent]] and massive [[GraveClouds lightning storms]], undead giclopses, [[DeathWorld towering dark-green tombs]], and a statue or minon of its conspicuous, stoically menacing Denizen, Yaldabaoth.

But [[{{Mordor}} LOTAK]] takes the cake in Nightmare Fuel, with its [[PollutedWasteland presumably toxic atmosphere]], [[HostileWeather violent]] and massive [[GraveClouds lightning storms]], undead giclopses, [[DeathWorld towering dark-green tombs]], and a statue or minon of its conspicuous, stoically menacing Denizen, Yaldabaoth.

** And you thought Caliborn was scary just as he appeared on-screen? The rest of his [[TheReveal Reveal]] puts it UpToEleven. He doesn't follow up his previous ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' references by cutting off his leg. He [[AnArmAndALeg GNAWS it off]], crudely fitting a robot leg on the fresh wound and spitting out the tooth that's in the same position as LE's golden tooth. Then, we see a familiar object-duality weapon: LE's cane-gun, except in black. Finally, his Cruxtruder's kernelsprite turns into a black hole that sucks in his planet and the meteor before it could enter the game, and all he can do the whole time is grin or smug in glee and contentedness. Oh, and not to mention THAT THE RED SUN AND THE AFOREMENTIONED BLACK HOLE TOGETHER LOOK LIKE FUCKING [[Videogame/{{Earthbound}} GIYGAS]]!?
