The Doomstar Requiem: A Klok Opera:

Ah [[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} Dethklok]], you bring us both SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic and ... [[NightmareFuel a desire not to sleep for a night]]. While the show's known for its [[BloodyHilarious gory]] BlackComedy, these moments are too much even for most fans.

* Facebones. Normally, just a mildly goofy and gory mascot/caricature Dethklok uses to make their informational videos, right? Well...it is until you see the Mordhaus Tours reel on the Season 1 DVD Extras. When he takes you down to the secret basement hallway where the Jomfru brothers were, uh..."dealt with", he starts up laughing. [[EvilLaugh Maniacally.]] Made all the more creepy by the fan theory that Offdensen/Charles is the one who does the in-universe voice for Facebones, possibly as an outlet for the frustrations of his job.
* While the [[CrossesTheLineTwice OTT-ness]] of most ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'''s violence does make it more funny than terrifying, the part in the second episode of the second season where the prisoner from Die-For-Dethklok.com uses half of his dead brother's face as a mask for a teenager was not... pleasant.
* Most find the humor in or ignore pretty much all the gore...except for that complete freak-out scene in "Snakes and Barrels". It's fine right up until the part with a thousand angry aborted babies. And what's the source of the freak-out? Pickles and Snakes n' Barrels unknowingly consume a mind control drug that renders whoever consumes it insane. But since Pickles has developed an immunity to every drug known to man, he is save. Snakes n' Barrels on the other hand...well, let's just say that at the end of the day, they wound up clawing their eyes out and throwing up acid blood.
** And in the ending of the follow-up, which includes said aborted babies returning to wreak havoc on the audience, cute bunnies transforming into [[HairRaisingHare huge, man-eating bunny monsters]], the otherwise [[BewareTheCuteOnes cute]] and [[BewareTheNiceOnes nice]] Toki Wartooth beating another concert goer to death in an extremely scary manner, and to top it off, the recently rehabilitated [[MonsterClown Dr. Rockso]] appearing on stage, absolutely high and announcing his comeback in a very scary [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80IORg9r6Ek manner.]]

* The ending of "Dethfashion" is one of the few moments too brutal [[EvenEvilHasStandards even for Dethklok]]. They see the already creepy fashion designer at work skinning a dozen models alive to make his "leather".
* The ending of "Dethecution" where the escaped child murderer [[EatsBabies prepares to eat a baby]] with a knife and fork, He's the Trope Image for IAmAHumanitarian.
* Toki ''beating a man to death with his bare hands'' in "Snakes 'n' Barrels II" definitely counts. He's normally the friendliest and gentlest of the bandmates, but he is driven to violence by an obnoxious fan at a show and proceeds to violently beat the man's head against the floor until he is twitching and gushing blood everywhere. This scene is highlighted by the fact that Nathan, Skwisgaar, and Murderface all witness this, [[BewareTheNiceOnes and they look fucking terrified of Toki]]. [[https://youtu.be/80IORg9r6Ek Watch for yourself.]]
* Also of note from "Snakes 'n' Barrels II" with Rikki Kixx strangling his assistant after delivering his MotiveRant as the assistant [[HeKnowsTooMuch now knew too much about Rikki's plan]]. And unlike most deaths in the show, the assistant's death is far more slow and drawn out, making every moment of his suffering palpable.
* The infamous ending of "Dethkids" where Toki finds the LittlestCancerPatient dead and starts hallucinating her decaying maggot-filled body yelling in a shrill voice that he killed her as he screams in horror. It even provides the page image.

** His true form towards the end of season 4 is even creepier. He now has razor sharp teeth, an otherworldly glow, a VoiceOfLegion and is floating. He even uses telekinesis to nastily kill [[CoolOldGuy Roy Cornickelson]] for getting in his way.

** At the end of season one, he decapitates Crozier's troops with bass music and then dismembers Ravenwood.

* The episode "Dethealth" contains a scene where the band members decide to [[FacePalm drink bleach]] in order to falsify the results of a urine test. The NightmareFuel comes into play when Nathan has a hallucinatory episode featuring a beautiful yet inhuman woman who exchanges kisses with him. After she pulls back her face morphs into a horrific visage complete with rotting teeth and a skeletal nose. Nathan's face then begins to rot in a likewise manner ending with his gangrenous lower jaw falling into the tooth filled water below.

* Mr. Salacia in general.

Ah [[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} Dethklok]], you bring us both SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic and ... [[NightmareFuel a desire not to sleep for a night]].

* The ending of "Dethfashion" is probably the most disturbing scene in the series. At least there was something of a laugh when Nathan says "Oh ''God''...you're fired by the way."
** Also one of the few times the band [[EvenEvilHasStandards is as horrified as the audience]].
*** The same thing happens when Murdertooth Records' only signed band, Get Thee Hence, opens up for Dethklok, only to be brutally murdered off-screen by the audience. Nobody in Dethklok manages to keep a straight face, despite constantly going on about making things brutal and living in the possibly most dangerous building in the world.

* The ending of "Dethkids" where Toki finds the LittlestCancerPatient dead and starts hallucinating her decaying body yelling that he killed her as he screams in horror.
** Before you ask, it's [[NightmareFace the above image]].
* The episode "Dethealth" contains a scene where the band members decide to [[FacePalm drink bleach]] in order to falsify the results of a urine test. The Nightmare Fuel comes into play when Nathan has a hallucinatory episode featuring a beautiful yet inhuman woman who exchanges kisses with him. After she pulls back her face morphs into a horrific visage complete with rotting teeth and a skeletal nose. Nathan's face then begins to rot in a likewise manner ending with his gangrenous lower jaw falling into the water below. This description doesn't even begin to do justice to how unnerving this scene is. Nathan is probably not the only one screaming...
** There are reports of viewers dry heaving at the sight of Murderface drinking that bleach.
** The start of they episode where they neuter animals via a machine. There was just something disturbing about seeing people cheering around animals getting their jewels cut off.

** Season three ends showing what Offdensen saw of Salacia's demonic nature. And let's not forget the Masked Man and his [[HoYay obsession]] with Offdensen.
-->"I want you to stay alive while I torture you. I want you to feel the PAIN!!!"
** His "true form" may be worse than any of that put together. Those teeth...
* The music video for "Burn The Earth".
* [[ButtMonkey Murderface's]] [[GoneHorriblyWrong plastic Surgery incident]]. Good thing that NightmareFace [[StatusQuoIsGod didn't last]].
* Dethklok's animal forms in "Dethcarraldo". While some of them border on UncannyValley, Toki's is probably the scariest one of all. His rabbit form (which is based on a jackrabbit) consists of a huge overbite, rabbit corpses hanging from his shoulders, and dead rabbit ears sticking out from his furry legs. Even worse that it might be a symbol of Toki's childhood PTSD ([[AbusiveParents due to massively abusive parents]]) and the darker side to his cute and rather nice personality.
** Skwisgaar's hawk form also seems to have human fingers for feathers.
