History NightmareFuel / PersonaQShadowOfTheLabyrinth

* The Game Over screen. Business as usual, for the most part: the standard Velvet Room music, except a whole lot more ominous than usual, plays over the standard Persona scrolling text...''while a giant pair of [[TheDarknessGazesBack disembodied]] [[RedEyesTakeWarning crimson eyes]] gaze straight at the player, blinking coldly at you.'' Quite a scare if you're not expecting them, or if you really don't like those particular EyeTropes.

*** Then there's the Old Doll, pretty much the F.O.E ClimaxBoss of the dungeon. The first time you encounter it is on the first floor, where you go through a series of doors, while every time it follows and holds the one behind you closed. It's not too bad there, since there's no risk of actually fighting it. The ''real'' creepiness comes on the third floor, where at a certain point, it appears again to hold down a door behind you. The scariest part of this? In the P3 story at least, ''[[NothingIsScarier there's no mention of this at all unless you look at the map.]]'' No-one makes any comment on it whatsoever, so it's very easy to go a while without even realising until you notice an F.O.E symbol on your map that wasn't there before. And then you reach the final floor, where it finally decides to come after you. It acts like the above-mentioned babies, but ''it can move 2 spaces per step''. And if you hadn't seen the Lovely Doll's true form before, chances are you're going to see it now. To make matters worse, it's accompanied by its own {{Leitmotif}}, which can only be described as DissonantSerenity in music form.

* An AdultFear example: during Rise's wedding event to the P4 protagonist, she doesn't have much of a reaction to the fake wedding photo, because she says she has to deal with fans sending things like that to her all the time, and that most of them "are a lot worse than a magical wedding of a prince and a princess". Yeah, that doesn't leave much to the imagination, and it's likely TruthInTelevision too. It gets worse if you've played Persona 4, and you realise things like that probably had a hand in spawning her [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Shadow.]]

* According to Rei, Yukiko's cookies [[spoiler:made her dream that she was being held down while sand was being poured into her mouth]]. Mildly disturbing, to say the least. Yukiko's cooking is now literally NightmareFuel, on top of being comically awful.

* The revelation what would happen to every one if the two teams don't just leave the Labyrinth after the Fourth Stratum. [[spoiler: Basically, Chronos will absorb Zen into himself to become a whole, and then erase the Labyrinth with every one inside it, which would not just result in everyone dying, but everyone being ''erased from the timeline for good!'']]

* The design for the boss of the fourth stratum: [[spoiler:A Dear Friend/Shadow Rei, which turns out to be a HairRaisingHare]]. Jesus Christ…

** Everything about the fourth stratum boss is nightmare fuel. [[spoiler:Compares to other Shadow Selves, Shadow Rei is notably bestial after goes berserk; roaring, screeching monstrosity who can't even speak a coherent word and literally drools at prospect of killing its real self. Even before going berserk, Shadow Rei is a bundle of helplessness that came from her despair, suicidal thought and nihilsm for having no self-worth. Small wonder that [[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} Erebus]] exists and immortal; if one girl can form this horrible a death wish, imagine that of all of humanity.]]

* Whomever hears the bell will die. What do you hear throughout the trailers? ''The bell.''

* The revelation hat would happen to every one if they would fail after the Fourth Stratum.

** Of course the doctor himself is nothing short of nightmarish. He looks like an obese doctor with giant pliers for a weapon, there are visible bloodstains on his costume and his heads looks deformed and his face looks like some one tore off a baby's face and then sewed it on some one's head.
