* The moments where the entire world seems to start falling apart are also creepy. It's like you can see into the Matrix. Reality just falls apart and physics breaks down.

Ever wondered what would happen if [[AxCrazy Tricky]] got to a similar place? Well, wonder no more as ''Expurgation'' gives us the answer. [[RealityIsOutToLunch Absolute high-octane nightmare fuel.]] First, there are undead skeleton creatures with glowing red eyes and Tricky-esque haircuts always trying to kill you.

Doc's tracking mechanisms don't look for Hank; they look for ''a'' Hank, as in, at least one of his resurrections wasn't actually him, but a ''copy'' of him. One of them bears his ''Consternation'' outfit with a full face mask, and another his ''Antipathy'' look with the gore-soaked metal jaw on full display. While they have a brief BackToBackBadasses moment against Tricky, once there's nothing else to fight in the area, they just start fighting each other as the music starts to fade out and get replaced with a droning static.
*** We're also given a look into how broken Tricky has become not psychologically, but ''existentially''. Once he gets frustrated, he starts to warp and twist into something that's barely recognizable as a person anymore, and he's doing it ''at will'' to prolong Hank's suffering and to silence anyone messing with his fun, up to and including the Retainer in charge of keeping Hank contained, who despite having enough regenerative power to shrug off anything Hank throws at them, is summarily butchered by Tricky with a chainsaw in under fifteen seconds. Furthermore, it seems as if the same duplication happened to him like Hank, but while one of them is only now twisting and elongating himself in unnatural ways, the other's been there so long that he resembles a flesh-covered version of the skeletal demon form he takes when he later possesses the Auditor in ''Expurgation''. The most unsettling part is that despite their bloodlust and unlike the two Hanks, they ''don't'' slaughter each other, instead working together like a pack hunter.

** The way Tricky kills the Retainer menacing Hank is vicious in the extreme, further underscoring how utterly unhinged and dangerous he is. We're treated to the sight of Tricky driving a chainsaw clear through the Retainer's neck, before he revs it up and hacks the Retainer into bloody pieces [[GoryDiscretionShot offscreen]] and sends them flying through a door as an apparent taunt to Hank, [[CurbStompBattle all in the space of about fifteen seconds]]. The way the Retainer desperately tries to push Tricky off of them/pull the chainsaw out of its throat before being killed doesn't really help, either.



* ''An Experiment'' answers a question many Madness fans have had since the series started: are the characters' hands really [[FloatingLimbs floating?]] Could you, say, seal them inside a box? And then pull that box away from the person's body? Turns out, the answer is yes... but the grunt subjected to this experiment was rapidly driven insane by it, smashing their face against the wall until the skin is completely gone and then proceed to [[OminousVisualGlitch glitch out their surroundings]], ripping an ATP engineer in two (as pictured above), and destroying the building they're in and everything in it, all the while repeatedly dashing themselves against the wall until they're nothing but a fine mist. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Bet you wish you hadn't asked now.]]

* ''9.5 Part One'' takes place in Hell as well, this time showing what Hank goes through anytime he dies. The place is nothing but chaos, chains and fear as far as the eye can see, and Hank's entrance to the realm of the dead is represented by a panicking person with a black liquid on its face running out to his companions, erupting into more scars, before being pulled back and exploding into Hank J. Wimbleton himself, who immediately proceeds to redirect an Engineer's swipe into one of the other grunts' [[{{Fingore}} fingers]].
** Tricky is also here, and while not even close to his former menacing status, he more than makes up for it with sheer MindScrew. He is introduced with his hairs coming out of the ground and they look organic for some reasons. The hairs appear near a dead guy, which begins seizing up as if reanimating before Hank shoots him, and the corpse embeds itself further in the rock as Tricky appears from the ceiling.
** Several of the background graffiti are pretty scary too, seemingly being written by Agents and other AAHW members who've become trapped in Hell and lost all hope of getting out.

When the series literally has "madness" in its name, it should be obvious that the series would often become [[NightmareFuel horrifying]].

** Scrapeface's hatred is so feral and intense that he manages to ''scrape himself down to the stumps of his legs'' on the floor and walls. And even that's not enough to keep him from flinging what remains of himself at the scientist responsible in a desperate bid to make them suffer. In a series filled with comedic gore and copious bloodstains on three-fourths of the architecture, it is one of the few instances of such that is played as straight psychological horror.

* A bit of FridgeHorror regarding Mag Hank. The signature defining characteristic of the Madness characters is the crossing lines on their faces. Even at their most elaborately designed, both Tricky and Jesus still have those lines beneath all their facial features -- they're still essentially human. Once Hank has undergone this final resurrection, those lines have vanished from his face. This puts him on a very short list of such characters, the only others being the Auditor, the Skeletons, the Mustached Guys and [=G03LM=]. No matter what he does now, Hank is no longer human.

He starts out as [[http://images.wikia.com/madnesscombat/images/e/e7/Hank06.png little more than a sack of skin and exposed teeth held together by bloody gauze]]. And he gets ''worse'' after the train crash, with smashed glasses, more several missing teeth, and part of his brain cavity exposed. But the real kicker? [[ImplacableMan None of this impedes his fighting ability in the slightest]].

* The second installment ''SACRIFICE.fla'', starts off with a somewhat funny moment [[MoodWhiplash and then quickly turns the tone on its head]] to show just how screwed up the place Deimos is in now can be. The GainaxEnding has Deimos emerge outside of a desolate version of the Bakery from ''Madness Combat 3: Avenger'', where a corpse which resembles Hank falls down.

* You know that hellish "afterlife" mentioned above? That insane hellscape full of wacko physics, holes full of chain-blade death and bizarre architecture? Ever wondered what would happen if [[AxCrazy Tricky]] got to a similar place? Well, wonder no more as Episode 11: Expurgation gives us the answer. [[RealityIsOutToLunch Absolute high-octane nightmare fuel.]] First, there are undead skeleton creatures with glowing red eyes and Tricky-esque haircuts always trying to kill you. Then you might just spontaneously generate weapons out of your body because why not. Physics makes even less sense than previously, so a floor you get shoved into might connect to a wall and get to see your own feet. The holes and chain blades mentioned above still are around too.

* For starters, Tricky on the whole. He's a goddamn ''[[NinjaPirateZombieRobot reality-warping demonic zombie clown]]'' who gives AxCrazy a whole new definition. He has an obsession with torturing Hank in any way he can, which can easily bring the Batman-Joker dynamic to mind, and he can even transform into a ''massive NighInvulnerable flaming demon'' as a last-ditch effort.

The hairs appears near a dead guy, which begins seizing up as if reanimating before Hank shoots him, and the corpse embeds itself further in the rock as [[MonsterClown Tricky]] appears from the ceiling.

* The spin-off movie ''Tricky Madness 2'' is [[MindScrew nothing]] ''[[{{Gorn}} but]]'' [[NightmareFace this]]. Really takes the "madness" element to heart, it does.
** Krinkels claims he'll never pull anything like that again. He apologizes for the {{Gorn}} at the end of the video. It's as if he got half-way through making the video and stopped because he realized he crossed back over the line to "uncool, not cool."



* A bit of FridgeHorror regarding Mag Hank. The signature defining characteristic of Madness characters is the crossing lines on their faces. Even at their most elaborately designed, Tricky and Jesus still have those lines beneath all their facial features -- they're still essentially human. Once Hank has undergone this final resurrection, those lines have vanished from his face. This puts him on a very short list of such characters, the only other major one being the Auditor himself. No matter what he does now, Mag Hank is no longer a human.

No matter what he does now, Mag Hank is no longer a human.



* How Jesus disposes of the GiantMook in Incident:110a is equal parts awesome, horrific, and squicky. He cuts through the top half of its head with the Binary Sword, tears off its scalp, and then ''rips out its brain'' as it flails around blindly.
* Incident:111a is downright [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/621022 horrifying]] with the SurpriseCreepy ending (well, Surprise Creep''ier''). The Savior is killed without any struggle by an unknown force and he's terrified of it.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlJfr_YuCuE ROMP.FLA]] starts off as amusing, then gets more horrifying as the extent of the mustached star's power is revealed. Once they're zombified, it's just nightmare faces galore as Sanford and Deimos are killed. And the ending has the grinning, shaking star [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou launching itself at the screen.]]
* Krinkels' ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiR6E6Cs79JpyW1ICAvHo_cqZreAg6D3k Dedmos Adventure]]'' shorts starring Deimos are extremely dark and almost bleak compared to most of his other works to date. The shorts star Deimos traversing an eerie EldritchLocation implied to be a kind of hellish "afterlife" following his death in the main series. The place [[GravityScrew doesn't abide to]] [[AlienGeometries the laws of physics]] and Deimos is in a constant state of disorientation and in danger of dying over and over again to [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice flying blades on chains]] which seem to have a mind of their own in how they seek him out. He gets caught by said chains ''a lot'', almost at the end of every short and even a few times within the shorts in quick succession. Worse off, his on-screen deaths and subsequent sudden revivals show him getting [[BodyHorror progressively more mutilated]] without let-up. And that doesn't ''begin'' to cover the horrific sights he comes across while wandering...
** The second installment ''SACRIFICE.fla'', starts off with a somewhat funny moment [[MoodWhiplash and then quickly turns the tone on its head]] to show just how screwed up the place Deimos is in now can be. The GainaxEnding has Deimos emerge outside of a desolate version of the Bakery from ''Madness Combat 3: Avenger'', where a corpse which resembles Hank falls down. Deimos touches it, then appears to be overcome with [[InterfaceScrew flashing, disorientating visions]] before being utterly destroyed by multiple flying chain-blades without warning.
** In the third short, ''ANAMNESIS.fla'', there's a particularly unsettling moment where Deimos spots Sanford through a gap in another room, [[ForcedToWatch only to watch him get brutally killed]]. Then he manages to get into the room, which seems to be in a kind of GroundhogDayLoop, and saves Sanford from his would-be killer. [[HopeSpot Deimos seems to have saved his best friend]]... only for Sanford to turn around and reveal a [[FacialHorror black void where his face should be]], and then everything goes to hell again.
*** In particular, Deimos' body language in this episode is pretty telling to how terrified he feels in all of this. When "Sanford" turns around and starts advancing on Deimos, the latter falls over and waves his hand as if pleading for "Sanford" not to hurt him. From his point of view, Deimos is seeing his faceless best friend stalking towards him, supposedly to kill him. He then watches reality utterly freak out, "Sanford" included, which ends with "Sanford" unceremoniously splattered into the floor (with Deimos following shortly after).
** The fourth short, ''POWERLESS.fla'' is almost nothing but a conga line of disturbing imagery and events. Deimos gets attacked by a strange claw/tentacle, then encounters ATP Agents who flicker in and out of looking like they are Auditor-possessed - i.e. ''like the same Agent that killed him''. When Deimos shoots one down, it suddenly turns into a version of himself wearing an ATP Mask (like that time he pranked Sanford). The episode ends with Deimos suddenly embedded into a wall by the claw-tentacle, [[AndIMustScream and it doesn't look like he's getting out of there alone anytime soon]].
*** The claw which seems to have it out for Deimos looks an awful lot like Hank's mutant claw arm, which brings up an unsettling thought: Deimos was shot down before he saw Hank come out of the MAG chamber, so how did he know what Hank's new arm looked like... [[FridgeHorror unless he wasn't completely dead then, including when Hank impaled his body on that very same claw.]]
** While Deimos [[CameBackStrong coming back strong]] in [=DedmosRebuilt=].fla is undeniably [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome awesome]], the sheer damage his new fists can cause is disturbing due to ArtEvolution really emphasizing the injuries. With every punch, Deimos ''caves in'' his opponents' skulls and torsos. The worst part is that these blows rip right through their skin, giving us a [[SarcasmMode lovely]] look at their [[BodyHorror utterly mangled skeletons underneath]], particular attention being given to their skulls.

* The ending of ''Expurgation'', Hank finally manages to defeat and kill Tricky, maybe at the cost of his and Sanford's lives in the process. A bit [[BittersweetEnding bittersweet]], yes, but it's a fitting way to put the Madness down for good, right? '''No.''' The Auditor, who had merely spectated the conflict, [[BackFromTheDead suddenly comes back to life]] ''and'' gets his halo back. After all this conflict, neither Hank, Jebus, Tricky, Sanford or Deimos could do anything to stop the Auditor.
* ''An Experiment'' answers a question many Madness fans have had since the series started: are the characters' hands really [[FloatingLimbs floating?]] Could you, say, seal them inside a box? And then pull that box away from the person's body? Turns out, the answer is yes... but the grunt subjected to this experiment was rapidly driven insane by it, smashing their face against the wall until the skin is completely gone and then proceed to [[OminousVisualGlitch glitch out their surroundings]], ripping an ATP engineer in two (as pictured above), and destroying the building they're in and everything in it, all the while repeatedly dashing themselves against the wall until they're nothing but a fine mist. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Bet you wish you hadn't asked now.]]
** The grunt's (nicknamed "Scrapeface", [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin for good reason]]) behavior during the ordeal could unnerve some. While the enclosed hands are fighting back hard to try and rejoin its body all while painting every surface it touches with blood, the body has seemingly much less cognitive thought, twitching and ramming itself into any surface available, grinding their face down to nothing. Then, [[FromBadToWorse when their hands come back...]]
** After Scrapeface is put back together again, their movements just become ''completely'' inhuman. They're still erratically [[OminousVisualGlitch spasming and glitching about]], all while cracking the room they're in while [[InterfaceScrew filling the screen with red static]]. Their movements jump between twitching painfully, to lunging across the room with ''absolutely no movement.'' One can only imagine the sheer terror the Engineer felt when they were locked in the same room as them.

The GainaxEnding has Deimos emerge outside of a desolate version of the Bakery from ''Madness Combat 3: Avenger'', where a corpse which resembles Hank falls down. Deimos touches it, then appears to be overcome with [[InterfaceScrew flashing, disorientating visions]] before being utterly destroyed by multiple flying chain-blades without warning.
* In the third short, ''ANAMNESIS.fla'', there's a particularly unsettling moment where Deimos spots Sanford through a gap in another room, [[ForcedToWatch only to watch him get brutally killed]]. Then he manages to get into the room, which seems to be in a kind of GroundhogDayLoop, and saves Sanford from his would-be killer. [[HopeSpot Deimos seems to have saved his best friend]]... only for Sanford to turn around and reveal a [[FacialHorror black void where his face should be]], and then everything goes to hell again.
** In particular, Deimos' body language in this episode is pretty telling to how terrified he feels in all of this. When "Sanford" turns around and starts advancing on Deimos, the latter falls over and waves his hand as if pleading for "Sanford" not to hurt him. From his point of view, Deimos is seeing his faceless best friend stalking towards him, supposedly to kill him. He then watches reality utterly freak out, "Sanford" included, which ends with "Sanford" unceremoniously splattered into the floor (with Deimos following shortly after).
* The fourth short, ''POWERLESS.fla'' is almost nothing but a conga line of disturbing imagery and events. Deimos gets attacked by a strange claw/tentacle, then encounters ATP Agents who flicker in and out of looking like they are Auditor-possessed - i.e. ''like the same Agent that killed him''. When Deimos shoots one down, it suddenly turns into a version of himself wearing an ATP Mask (like that time he pranked Sanford). The episode ends with Deimos suddenly embedded into a wall by the claw-tentacle, [[AndIMustScream and it doesn't look like he's getting out of there alone anytime soon]].
** The claw which seems to have it out for Deimos looks an awful lot like Hank's mutant claw arm, which brings up an unsettling thought: Deimos was shot down before he saw Hank come out of the MAG chamber, so how did he know what Hank's new arm looked like... [[FridgeHorror unless he wasn't completely dead then, including when Hank impaled his body on that very same claw.]]
* While Deimos [[CameBackStrong coming back strong]] in [=DedmosRebuilt=].fla is undeniably [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome awesome]], the sheer damage his new fists can cause is disturbing due to ArtEvolution really emphasizing the injuries. With every punch, Deimos ''caves in'' his opponents' skulls and torsos. The worst part is that these blows rip right through their skin, giving us a [[SarcasmMode lovely]] look at their [[BodyHorror utterly mangled skeletons underneath]], particular attention being given to their skulls.

* The spin-off movie ''Tricky Madness 2'' is [[MindScrew nothing]] ''[[{{Gorn}} but]]'' [[NightmareFace this]]. Really takes the "madness" element to heart, it does.
** Krinkels claims he'll never pull anything like that again. He apologizes for the {{Gorn}} at the end of the video. It's as if he got half-way through making the video and stopped because he realized he crossed back over the line to "uncool, not cool."
* ''An Experiment'' answers a question many Madness fans have had since the series started: are the characters' hands really [[FloatingLimbs floating?]] Could you, say, seal them inside a box? And then pull that box away from the person's body? Turns out, the answer is yes... but the grunt subjected to this experiment was rapidly driven insane by it, smashing their face against the wall until the skin is completely gone and then proceed to [[OminousVisualGlitch glitch out their surroundings]], ripping an ATP engineer in two (as pictured above), and destroying the building they're in and everything in it, all the while repeatedly dashing themselves against the wall until they're nothing but a fine mist. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Bet you wish you hadn't asked now.]]
** The grunt's (nicknamed "Scrapeface", [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin for good reason]]) behavior during the ordeal could unnerve some. While the enclosed hands are fighting back hard to try and rejoin its body all while painting every surface it touches with blood, the body has seemingly much less cognitive thought, twitching and ramming itself into any surface available, grinding their face down to nothing. Then, [[FromBadToWorse when their hands come back...]]
** After Scrapeface is put back together again, their movements just become ''completely'' inhuman. They're still erratically [[OminousVisualGlitch spasming and glitching about]], all while cracking the room they're in while [[InterfaceScrew filling the screen with red static]]. Their movements jump between twitching painfully, to lunging across the room with ''absolutely no movement.'' One can only imagine the sheer terror the Engineer felt when they were locked in the same room as them.
