* The cover art is a black and white photo of Peter with his hands on his head, but it's been digitally manipulated to [[UncannyValley look a bit off]] when you examine it closely: His left hand is in a physically impossible position, as the corresponding arm is pointed straight down. Meanwhile his right hand seems to be merging with his face, while his right eye [[EyesDoNotBelongThere seems to be attached to his right pinky finger]] (or else the finger is semi-translucent).

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_X13P7V2x0 I Don't Remember]]". The song, at least on the album (the video uses a heavily edited live version) is nightmarish enough on its own, but the video... Have fun trying to get used to leather couches again.

* The page image is from the video for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnVf1ZoCJSo Shock the Monkey]]", with a discordant interplay between a "real world", where Peter portrays a CIA/[=MKUltra=]-type businessman, and the bizarre "modern primitive" world, where he portrays a shaman, that the two wound up colliding towards the end.

Peter Gabriel is no stranger to nightmarish imagery in his music, as [[Music/{{Genesis|Band}} his former band]] can attest to [[NightmareFuel/GenesisBand during and since his time there]].

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAzUh_H7yV0 Intruder]]" introduced the gated reverb to great effect, and was bookended by the grating glass cutter sounds, selling [[ParanoiaFuel the paranoia that the narrating intruder knows his way of breaking into homes]].
** The creepy near-whisper in which Gabriel sings most of the lyrics - not to mention the lyrics themselves - also contribute to the ParanoiaFuel.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4Ah2dxTcWw&ab_channel=PeterGabriel The music video]] for "Kiss That Frog" might be even worse, due to the brizarre, gross textures of the video's CG and that it seems to be a twisted retelling of ''Literature/TheFrogPrince'' if the frog was a stalker, shifting to a black and purple form that's especially horrid, and at multiple points the frog eats the woman '''alive'''.

* "Lead a Normal Life" is creepy in a more understated way, a sunny melody juxtaposed with Gabriel's howls, with [[SingleStanzaSong brief lyrics]] about someone who's been placed in a mental health facility.
