* Those two Insurrectionist soldiers (Mr. Frowny and Mr. Smiley as I like to call them) in episode nine. There's just something about eery about their happy/sad visors, emblems on their turret guns, the way they talk with giggles and weeps, and the creepy carnival music that kicks in when they appear. These guys ''define'' PsychoForHire.
** They die when Mysterious Blue Guy shoots a crane, causing them to fall over a railing and be killed by a giant crate. What's weird is when it lands, the blood splatters are [[AlienBlood yellow]]. What the hell?
** [[Tropers/AbraCadavre This troper]] just assumed they were robots or something, like how Red Team has Lopez.

* Right from the start, ''Reconstruction'' demonstrates it's [[DarkerAndEdgier darker]] tone with an intensely creepy scene. A shellshocked soldiers recount of O'malley's MindRape and slaughter of an entire outpost of simulation troopers. Needless to say, it's chilling to hear a previously comedic villain described in such a brutal and serious manner.

** Which actually brings up a good source of FridgeHorror. While it was PlayedForLaughs during ''Blood Gulch Chronicles'', O'malley's infections would be ''terrifying'' if they happened in RealLife. Imagine it, your hanging out with your friend Frank, chatting aimlessly, messing around. All of a sudden, Frank starts laughing like a maniac and screaming about how he's going to split open everyones' skulls and drink the blood that flows out. At first your thinking ''"What kind of drugs are you on mate?"''. But then Frank grab's you by the throat and starts [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown smashing your head into the ground]]. Bob sees what's happening and rushes over to help you. The two of you somehow manage to subdue Frank and tie him up. At this point Frank relaxes and you breath a sigh of relief, thinking the crisis is over. '''''[[InescapableHorror Then Bob begins to laugh...]]'''''

Then you remember the Director reporting that there were ''no'' survivors at Valhalla and... '''''Oh my God'''''. * The Meta is an incredibly menacing villain. A merciless psychopath with the intelligence and efficiency of an elite assassin, and the ruthlessness and brutality of a wild animal. If it wants you dead it will hunt you to the ends of the earth. It will slaughter thousands to get to you and their nothing you can do stop it, not even ''shoving an energy sword through it's chest'' will kill it. And The Meta is ''smart''.
