* Pelle, aka Dead was this in the movie as he was in real life: From sending [[spoiler: a dead crucified rodent to Mayhem]] to [[spoiler: the ThousandYardStare after he had cut himself hard at a show as his arms tremble from the pain is pretty unnerving]]. Makes the earlier scene where he's being [[spoiler: silly with Euronymous over their corpse paint moment a lot more unsettling]]. Jack Kilmer's performance came off as if he ''truly was'' Ohlin right then and there.
** [[spoiler: Dead's suicide]], just the build up alone is unsettling, even if one knows what happened to Pelle.
** The fact alone at how Pelle [[spoiler: shrugs off ''slashed wrists'' and a '''''cut to the neck''''' and then proceeds to blow his head off with the shotgun is creepy, especially the after shots of his blood splatter and brain pieces across his bedroom]].
** Euronymous's reaction to [[spoiler: Dead's body? Mild freak out and ''photographing the corpse all while putting the weapons Dead used to kill himself next to his body'']]. That's not even getting into [[spoiler: him taking skull fragments and using them as necklaces...]]
** And much earlier, Dead tries to [[spoiler: coax Euro into killing him with his shotgun, which already adds some eeriness to Dead's desire to die and Euronymous not realizing his actions have consequences..]]

* The way Varg starts off as [[spoiler: a simple fan of Mayhem to a borderline paranoid sociopath]]. He comes as quiet, if a bit ''off'' and builds up more and more as his rivalry with Euronymous goes more and more up the ante.
* '''EVERY. SINGLE. CHURCH. BURNING.'''. [[spoiler: Arguably the Fantoft Stave Church burning stands out due to how ''abrupt'' it occurs: Varg sets a dead rabbit on the steps, breaks open the door with a crowbar...and then walks out as smoke slowly bellows out the door frame, Varg going down the path as the smoke grows and seeps out of Fantoft...]]
* [[spoiler: Faust's murder of Magne Andreassen, not helped that earlier in the film, Faust wondered what it'd be like to kill someone. The fact that it TAKES SO LONG TO END makes it even more excruciating. In the official report, the poor man was stabbed 37 TIMES.]]
* [[spoiler: The nightmare sequence of Euronymous feeling pain and horror of Dead's suicide and his obsession of wanting black metal to be "true", mixed in with the church burnings he witnessed]]. It could be considered a sign that [[spoiler: Euronymous, in spite of his dark image obsession, is a traumatized kid, especially when remembering the suicide of his friend]].
* [[spoiler: Euroymous's murder by Varg's hands. What makes it more terrifying is how Varg's obviously gone off the deep end all while Euronymous is trying to struggle to stay alive. It basically ends in a bloody death with Varg ''repeatedly'' stabbing Euronymous in the back and then through his head, killing him]].

With a movie like ''Lords of Chaos'' being focused on the start of second way BlackMetal, you shouldn't be surprised by with the amount of creepy events that occurred ''[[TruthInTelevision in real life]]'', especially when you consider [[NightmareFuel/BlackMetal the genre the film it was based is messed-up]]...
