History NightmareFuel / TeenWolf

* Scott's first transformation. Unlike most of them in the movie this one is pretty long and painful. He just looks at himself in the mirror and hair sprouts everywhere as he cries in pain.

* Scott's first transformation. Unlike most of them in the movie this one is pretty long and painful. He just looks at himself in the mirror and hair sprouts everywhere as he cries in pain. Not to mention as Scott slowly turns into the wolf he looks pretty damn scary. The makeup makes Michael J. Fox look much more creepier than we've seen him.
* He is also forced to open the door for his dad, who actually looks a bit more scarier. Even scarier than Scott's wolf form. Being older, he has grey hair and huge glasses. Having the grey hair covering him is just flat out creepy as hell.

* Wolf's Bane:
** The doctor's check-up scene for Jackson. Try watching it without cringing [[spoiler: or grabbing the back of your neck.]]

* Allison's mom in general.

** Jackson opening up a snake aquarium and allowing the snake to [[spoiler: slither down his throat and later come out of his eye]].
** The library scene.

** The scene where Matt nearly drowns. [[spoiler: Made even ''more'' disturbing when his dying thoughts are flashbacks of him drowning.]]

** Season 3 introduces us to the [[spoiler: alpha werewolf pack.]] Two of which can [[spoiler: '''FUSE''' together]]. It also features a [[spoiler: a deer slamming into Alison's and Lydia's car]] as well as [[spoiler: a swarm of crows bursting into a classroom.]]

** When Heather [[spoiler: disappears in the basement without showing how and why, in a scene that looks from ''Film/ParanormalActivity'' rather than Series/TeenWolf]]
** The glimpse of [[spoiler: Erica's body]] in the vault. [[spoiler: Especially the way that her head just pitches forward when Allison turns to look at it.]]

** [[spoiler: Cora Hale]]'s wolf form is positively ''terrifying''. While most werewolves on the show look more or less human (and [[{{Narm}} fairly silly]]) when wolfed out, she looks completely monstrous and more than a little like a lot of the scarier vampires from [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]].
** When we find out why Deucalion is blind. [[spoiler: Gerard stabs out his eyes. With flash-bang arrows.]]

** Boyd [[spoiler: hallucinates his dead little sister everywhere, and nearly kills himself by submerging himself in a tub and placing a safe on top so nobody can stop him.]]
** Ethan [[spoiler: imagines being split in two and having his brother emerge from him, and tries to bisect himself with a handsaw.]]
** Isaac [[spoiler: relives a fight with his father before being trapped inside the freezer. Again.]]

** Scott [[spoiler: douses himself in gasoline and tries to kill himself, saying that whenever he tries to help he only makes things worse.]]
*** Made ''even worse'' since being burned is established to break the mystical compulsion. [[spoiler: Scott's method means that not only can his friends not safely snap him out of it (the Darach is adapting!), but that he'll snap himself out of it just in time to burn to death, fully aware.]]

** The 'true form' of the Darach. [[spoiler: The close-ups of the mauled faced and shredded flesh are terrifying. A true Squick moment happens when Jennifer kisses Sheriff Stilinski and then pulls away as the lip less Darach. Even worse when you remember that Derek slept with Jennifer]]

** Allison [[spoiler: has visions of Kate. She's a lot scarier than before.]]
** Stiles wakes up in a dream next to Lydia. [[spoiler: He sees ''something'' at the door. She starts begging him not to open it. Whatever it is has even Dream Lydia frightened. Just what is behind the door is left horrifyingly ambiguous.]]

** [[spoiler: Alison has a nightmare of being ''autopsied alive'' by Kate.]]

** The audience is introduced to William Barrow, a notorious mass murderer who blew up a bus full of teenagers because he claimed they had [[spoiler: glowing eyes]]. He's already creepy with that and his unhinged personality. But then he's admitted to surgery for what the doctors assume is a piece of shrapnel, and it turns out that it's really [[spoiler: a tumour full of LIVE FLIES]].

* We see the creatures fight in the very next episode. [[spoiler: Indeed they are MalevolentMaskedMen, and seem to be after another Dark Spirit, and seem convinced it is Kira that they want. And they're [[ImplacableMan not going to stop or let up until they have what they want.]]]]
** [[spoiler: And special mention to one of them for responding to a NeckSnap by forcing its neck back into alignment, as if that was a mere annoyance.]]
* TheReveal of the Dark Spirit that the [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Oni]] have been hunting. [[spoiler: It's [[DemonicPossession Stiles]].]]
** [[spoiler: Which is followed immediately by the until now unstoppable Oni being utterly destroyed in a single blow. SuperpoweredEvilSide doesn't quite cover it.]]
* The abuse [[spoiler: the Twins endured in their previous pack is kinda horrifing when one starts thinking about it. One, the abuse ranges from physical to emotional/psychological to even implied sexual. Its also implied they are born werewolves, so their families were more that likely part of their pack, which makes it even more horrifying, because their either stood and watched or even participated of the abuse]].
** [[spoiler: And, on the other hand, another fridge horror dose comes if those implications are true: Ethan and Aiden [[SelfMadeOrphan killed their own family]] to free themselves from their abusers.]]

** What's worse than somehow surviving being [[spoiler:burned alive via molotov cocktail? Learning that the doctor sold all the morphine, too, the ''hard way.'']]
** The Oak Creek camp was a terrible place to live in. The lack of respect and proper supplies, the doctor selling much needed drugs to the black market, [[spoiler:the government covering up the cruelty and slaughter]]...

** Earlier in the episode [[spoiler: Void!Stiles cuts his abdomen open and UNLEASHES A SWARM OF FLIES FROM INSIDE HIS BODY]].

** Lydia trapped in the tunnels with the Nogitsune, haunted by first the screaming of all of the death it caused there in the past, and second by [[spoiler: Void!Stiles]] himself.

** [[spoiler: Void!Stiles]] leading the Oni through the hospital in a murderous rampage.
** [[spoiler: Void!Stiles]] ''very'' easily dispatches both Scott and Kira and then bears down on Stiles and Lydia, completely unhinged.

** The death of [[spoiler: Void!Stiles]]: [[spoiler: Void!Stiles]] screams in agony for a moment before [[spoiler: Void!Stiles]] body petrifies, cracks, and crumbles into dust.

** The skeletal...''things''. They're only shown [[NothingIsScarier in brief glimpses]] moving through dark tunnels or in the desert, so it's hard to tell whether they're warriors in skeletal armour or actual animated skeleton creatures. One of them lodged a claw in Stiles' Jeep that is at least a foot long, Malia claims they smell like death, and according to [[WordofGod Jeff]] [[spoiler: they're under Kate Argent's control]].

-->'''Mute''': '''[[EvilSoundsDeep HELLO SEAN. I JUST KILLED YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY. DO YOU WANT TO DIE LIKE THEM?]]'''
** [[spoiler:Lydia and the policeman finding the [[CannibalLarder hidden room]] in the family's home, with the bodies of murdered people hung up in bags.]]
** [[spoiler: The Wendigo Teen's blank, horrifying white eyes and rows of teeth.]]
* [[spoiler: A lesser moment, where Stiles realizes Lydia's notes ''were not math notes''. It instead resembles some sort of mad scrawl of letters, numbers and other such things. After Lydia decodes them, she realizes that it's a hit list for everyone supernatural in town.]]

** [[spoiler:Deputy Parrish]] is tied to his car, covered in gasoline, and set on fire. [[spoiler:He lives]], but from the screaming you can tell he sustained major burns in the process.
** Brunski, one of the sadistic orderlies of Eichen House, [[spoiler:has murdered at least ten people there and covered it up, and plans to do the same to Lydia and Stiles.]]

** "A guy who acquired a ThirdEye by ''drilling a hole into his forehead''. And yes, we get to see it up close.
** [[spoiler:The origin of the Berserkers. They're normal, brainwashed people (or possibly werewolves) who are [[AndIMustScream trapped in the skeletal armor]], and Kate plans to do the same thing to Scott.]]

** Scott's childhood friend Theo seems fine, right? [[spoiler: Not exactly - he has strangers playing his parents, and isn't very pleased when he finds out that one of them didn't learn how to forge his father's signature correctly. The solution? Well according to Theo, signatures probably come out wrong when you're wearing a cast. Cue Theo approaching his "father" with a hammer, and the father submitting his hand accordingly.]]
* The brief glimpses we have so far of Kira's kitsune side taking a firmer control are quite terrifying. [[spoiler: To see sweet, dorky Kira, who is arguably the nicest main character with this large golden aura of fire who was willing to attempt to murder Lucas even when he was ''no longer a threat'' is chilling. Thank God Scott interrupted when he did.]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Kira:''' '' [[SuperpoweredEvilSide "I am the messenger of death." ]] '' ]]
** [[spoiler: And it may not even be her fault. The Dread Doctors did ''something'' to her, which she didn't remember for a long time (terrifying in and of itself), and her SuperpoweredEvilSide may be a side effect, or the main goal, of her "treatment."]]

* When the Ghost Riders of The Wild Hunt take someone away with them, they have [[RetGone the power to erase all memory of someone]] from the world. [[spoiler: Stiles falls victim to this with a scene of him frantically meeting his father, relaxing as he calls Stiles "son...". Until it turns out Sheriff Stilinski was just addressing someone he thinks is a stranger as he asks for Stiles' name.]]

** When Heather [[spoiler: disappears in the basement without showing how and why, in a scene that looks from ''Film/ParanormalActivity'' rather than TeenWolf]]

*** Invoked {{in-universe}} when Derek asks Stiles to cut off his arm.

[[caption-width-right:350: "An explanation would probably be long overdue."]]

* The library scene.

** Earlier in the episode [[spoiler: Void/Stiles cuts his abdomen open and UNLEASHES A SWARM OF FLIES FROM INSIDE HIS BODY]].

** [[spoiler: Void/Stiles]] leading the Oni through the hospital in a murderous rampage.
** The death of [[spoiler: Void/Stiles]]: [[spoiler: Void/Stiles]] screams in agony for a moment before [[spoiler: Void/Stiles]] body petrifies, cracks, and crumbles into dust.

** The skeletal...''things''.

While most werewolves on the show look more or less human (and [[{{Narm}} fairly silly]]) when wolfed out, she looks completely monstrous and more than a little like a lot of the scarier vampires from [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]].
* When we find out why Deucalion is blind. [[spoiler: Gerard stabs out his eyes. With flash-bang arrows.]]
** Even worse when we see his eyes while wolfing out. They look akin to Judge Doom from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. Evidence [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/ab8f364136735385f6e413a3f45f826d/tumblr_mqgzu41hzS1saaq66o1_500.png here]].

* In the opening of the fourth episode, we have a scene of TheBigBadWolf running alongside a car, nearly out of sight. Creepy.
* Invoked {{in-universe}} when Derek asks Stiles to cut off his arm.
* The video store scene.
* Oooh yeah, a nice bit of {{Fanservice}} with shirtless Jackson...wait...is that...Oh God Why is there a BLACK CLAWED HAND COMING OUT OF HIS MOUTH???
* Gerard cutting the Omega in half and leaving the other half of his body dangling from a tree. His spine is quite visible.
* The Alpha had no qualms about disabling Stiles's car by ''dismantling the battery and throwing it into the school as a taunt.'' And then texting Allison under the guise of Scott so that she (and, by association, Jackson and Lydia) would come to the school. And then 'warning' the cops that any calls from the high school would be pranks. Yeah, sweet dreams.
** Let's just say all of the "Night School" episode.
* When the full moon comes around in "Lunatic", there's the subtle changes in Scott's behavior. He gets more aggressive, angrier, and at times his body language is downright predatory. It's unsettling to see that from a person who is otherwise a pretty NiceGuy.
* The doctor's check-up scene for Jackson. Try watching it without cringing [[spoiler: or grabbing the back of your neck.]]
* The Alpha revealing his fangs to Lydia. ''Sweet GOD.''
* The hunters torturing the principal.

* Allison and Scott's Kanima encounter in Season 2 episode 2.
* Jackson opening up a snake aquarium and allowing the snake to [[spoiler: slither down his throat and later come out of his eye]].
* The scene at the night club when the Kanima attacks, and the guys just start falling down one by one.
* The library scene. Holy. Shit.

* The scene with Isaac's father. He initially comes across as okay if a little intense but when he asks about Isaac's grades, he see the fear flash across Isaac's face when he has to say he is failing a subject. Mr Lahey starts throwing plates around and telling Isaac to clean it up and then throws glass at his face and nearly blinds him, all the while never raising his voice above a soft sadistic tone that shows how much he enjoys terrorising his son. The look of absolute terror lets us know that this has been going on for a ''very'' long time. The worst part? There is nothing supernatural or mystical about it. Isaac's dad was just a vile sadistic monster who managed to be the most despicable and horrifying person on a show filled with supernatural creatures.
** The scene where Isaac's father is ripped apart and eaten by the Kanima. He completely deserved it and much more but it doesn't make the way he gradually realizes what a horrible situation he's found himself in any less chilling.
* The scene where Matt nearly drowns. [[spoiler: Made even ''more'' disturbing when his dying thoughts are flashbacks of him drowning.]]

* Season 3 introduces us to the [[spoiler: alpha werewolf pack.]] Two of which can [[spoiler: '''FUSE''' together]]. It also features a [[spoiler: a deer slamming into Alison's and Lydia's car]] as well as [[spoiler: a swarm of crows bursting into a classroom.]]
* The glimpse of [[spoiler: Erica's body]] in the vault. [[spoiler: Especially the way that her head just pitches forward when Allison turns to look at it.]]
* When Heather [[spoiler: disappears in the basement without showing how and why, in a scene that looks from ''Film/ParanormalActivity'' rather than TeenWolf]]
* In Fireflies, the titular fireflies. Which happen to be ''giant'' and ''kidnap a girl'', who is later found murdered.
* The method of murder used on Heather and the other victims. Nothing called "The Threefold Death" can sound pleasant.

* Nearly everything from "Motel California".

* When we find out why Deucalion is blind. [[spoiler: Gerad stabs out his eyes. With flash-bang arrows.]]
** Even worse when we see his eyes while wolfing out. They look akin to Judge Doom from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. Evidence [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/ab8f364136735385f6e413a3f45f826d/tumblr_mqgzu41hzS1saaq66o1_500.png here]].
** The 'true form' of the Darach. [[spoiler: The close-ups of the mauled faced and shredded flesh are terrifying. A true Squick moment happens when Jennifer kisses Sheriff Stilinsky and then pulls away as the lip less Darach. Even worse when you remember that Derek sleep with Jennifer]]
* The town hosts a concert in memorial for the victims of the serial killer, whom the audience knows is the Darach. During the orchestra, the band starts playing what the audience, and one of the characters, recognizes as the music which plays when the Darach is about to attack. Meanwhile, the band looks possessed. It ends with a death trap in the piano killing the elderly music teacher. Even more disturbing in that the Darach is holding a knife to Lydia's throat and counting down the activation of the death trap to the second.
* The sneak peeks for the season 3b include Stiles freaking out while a person tries to escape from a white screen and his classmates appear possessed. Playing in the background is a creepy child-like voice and the last lines we hear are Stiles saying "Wake up!" while the child sings "Life is but a dream"
** Another promo for 3b features someone staggering down a hallway, intercut with scenes of Lydia attempting to scream while unable to open her mouth, Allison petting a wolf's corpse with dead eyes, and a creepy apparition of the sheriff. The hallway opens into a blank white room with a sink and a mirror, revealing that the person is Stiles - and he's ''covered in blood.''
* 3x13, has Allison [[spoiler: having visions of Kate. She's a lot scarier then before.]]
** In 3x14 [[spoiler: Alison has a nightmare of being ''autopsied alive'' by Kate.]]

** And then there's his dream near the end of 3x13, he wakes up in a dream next to Lydia. [[spoiler: He sees ''something'' at the door. She starts begging him not to open it. Whatever it is has even Dream Lydia frightened. Just what is behind the door is left horrifyingly ambiguous.]]
* We're introduced to William Barrow in "Galvanize", a notorious mass murderer who blew up a bus full of teenagers because he claimed they had [[spoiler: glowing eyes]]. He's already creepy with that and his unhinged personality. But then he's admitted to surgery for what the doctors assume is a piece of shrapnel, and it turns out that it's really [[spoiler: a tumour full of LIVE FLIES]]. ''Holy shit''.

* "Riddled" starts out with Stiles held captive in a basement, with a bear trap on his leg and an inhuman, heavily wrapped up figure taunting him. Turns out it was just a dream, and he was ''only'' in the woods at risk of dying of exposure to the cold. Later, as he's having a brain scan, he has another vision in which the same figure, the [[BigBad Nogitsune]], forces him to answer a riddle, takes his bandages off to reveal he looks like Stiles underneath. A power surge happens at the hospital, and Stiles is seen leaving the hospital with an out of character look on his face. Ladies and gentlemen, Stiles [[DemonicPossession has left]] [[SplitPersonalityTakeover the building]].
** Adding to this, the following episode has Evil!Stiles pretending to be out of the fox's control, only to reveal himself to them once they're alone. He then proceeds to give a ReasonYouSuckSpeech to Scott while [[ColdBloodedTorture twisting a katana in Scott's abdomen.]] If not for [[BigDamnHeroes Dr. Deaton's intervention]], Stiles would have killed his best friend.

* In "Echo House" the mental facility itself. It's dreary, depressing and very frightening -- and that's ''without'' it being a supernatural hotspot, which it apparently is also.
* In ''The Wolf and the Fox'' The flashback of Nogitsune killing two soldiers at a camp. Before he attacks them they are telling riddles to each other. When Nogitsune has one of them cornered he has one of his own.

** Generally the Oak Creek camp was a terrible place to live in. The lack of respect and proper supplies, the doctor selling much needed drugs to the black market, [[spoiler:the government covering up the cruelty and slaughter]]...
** So much of this episode is disturbing mainly because, even without the supernatural elements, it still provides a pretty realistic demonstration of Japanese internment camps during WWII.

* ''Devoid'' had big bad wolf Peter Hale freaking out right along with the rest as Stiles vomited up literally an entire person's worth of bandages.
** Earlier in the episode [[spoiler: Void/Stiles cuts his abdomen open and UNLEASHES A SWARM OF FLIES FROM INSIDE HIS BODY]]...Yeah sweet dreams.
* [[spoiler: Void/Stiles]] leading the Oni through the hospital in a murderous rampage in "The Divine Move"
* The death of [[spoiler: Void/Stiles]]: they scream in agony for a moment before their body petrifies, cracks, and crumbles into dust.

* The skeletal...''things'' that appear in the season 4 opener "The Dark Moon". They're only shown [[NothingIsScarier in brief glimpses]] moving through dark tunnels or in the desert, so it's hard to tell whether they're warriors in skeletal armour or actual animated skeleton creatures. One of them lodged a claw in Stiles' Jeep that is at least a foot long, Malia claims they smell like death, and according to Jeff [[spoiler: they're under Kate Argent's control]].
* The man without a mouth in "Muted". In addition to his rather creepy design, he murders an entire family, then taunts the last survivor from behind a door. [[spoiler:He might not be evil, though, since the family he was killing were wendigos.]]

* [[spoiler: A lesser moment, wherein Stiles realizes his notes he took ''were not math notes''. It instead resembles some sort of mad scrawl of letters, numbers and other such things. It immediately brings the Nogitsune to mind, and whether its demise awoke something...worse.]]
** [[spoiler:Good news, they weren't his notes. Bad news, they were Lydia's. And after she decodes them, she realizes that it's a hit list for everyone supernatural in town.]]

* The death of The Mute at Peter's hands, reminding us that yes, he's still a threat, and what is more, he apparently...tore some''thing'' [[NauseaFuel out of the Mute's...body.]]
* When Lydia's mom lifts up Coach's shirt in "Weaponized". Might want to go take a shower after that, especially if you have dermatophobia.
* The death toll itself is pretty horrifying - Simon managed to off a whole pack except their leader Satomi, and its clear that he's not the last assassin to come after the gang. As seen in the previews for the next episode, it looks like there might be another Mute on the way...
* The opening of "Perishable". [[spoiler:Deputy Parrish]] is tied to his car, covered in gasoline, and set on fire. [[spoiler:He lives]], but from the screaming you can tell he sustained major burns in the process.

* In the episode "Monstrous", the pack that Scott is protecting comes under heavy fire. While fighting off one of the assassins sent to kill them, Scott gets a little carried away and keeps slashing away at him, and as he does that Scott starts to transform even further into something reminiscent of Peter's beast like Alpha form from season 1.
* "A Promise to the Dead" has a guy who acquired a ThirdEye by ''drilling a hole into his forehead''. And yes, we get to see it up close.

* Scott's childhood friend Theo seems fine, right? [[spoiler: Turns out not so much - he has strangers playing his parents, and isn't very pleased when he finds out that one of them didn't learn how to forge his father's signature correctly. The solution? Well, signatures probably come out wrong when you're wearing a cast. Queue Theo approaching his "father" with a hammer, and the father submitting his hand accordingly.]]

* Eichen House, just in general. A mental institution that has frequently been the site of supernatural encounters and fights between the pack and their enemies. One of its staff attempted to kill Stiles and Lydia in season four, and the bedside manner of its other employees range from dismissive of their patients to outright abusive. It also does not seem to be in the most sanitary of conditions, given the perpetual low and flickering lighting and the appearance of the walls. Since its introduction in the second half of the third season, it's been a regular presence of the show, but [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Theo]] remarks on how unsuitable it is to be a medical facility.

* The teaser for Season 6 reveals the Wild Hunt who, when they take someone away with them, have [[RetGone the power to erase all memory of someone]] from the world. Stiles apparently falls victim to this with a scene of him frantic as he meets his father, relaxing as he calls Stiles "son..." Until it turns out it was just addressing someone he thinks is a stranger as he asks Stiles' name.

* The teaser for Season 6 reveals the Wild Hunt who, when they take someone away with them, have [[RetGone the power to erase all memory of someone]] from the world. Stiles apparantly falls victim to this with a scene of him frantic as he meets his father, relaxing as he calls Stiles "son..." Until it turns out it was just addressing someone he thinks is a stranger as he asks Stiles' name.
