History NightmareFuel / TheUndertaker

** Undertaker places Xavier in a coffin and dumps dirt on him while Xavier pleads for help.

* The Undertaker's debut back in 1990, which signaled a major paradigm shift in the way sports- entertainment would be presented in the years to come. [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny As cheesy as the gimmick may seem nowadays]], in the candy-colored circus that was WWE during the Reagan/Bush era the 'Taker gimmick was unique - and frightening. His theme, "Dark Side", was in the beginning much less elegiac and a lot more minimalist and creepy - literally like the music played in a funeral home chapel. 'Taker also [[SilentAntagonist never spoke]] and literally tried to kill his opponents, usually by choking them. Add to that Paul Bearer's [[ButNotTooWhite pasty white skin]] and unnaturally high voice, and it was undeniable that the Undertaker's appearances truly were something to fear.

** The original version of the video had a clip of Wrestling/BigBossMan being ''hanged'', because that's how their Hell In A Cell Match at Wrestlemania 15 ended. (Of course, this was mitigated as an illusion, because Big Boss Man had worn a safety bungee harness underneath his suit when he was attatched to a long harness cord that had accompanied the noose; and he had to be taken down off-camera so that he could get to a hospital on a stretcher, but still...)

* Anyone watching Elimination Chamber '10 on WWE Network would be fooled by the commentary about how he's clearly ready to go, not wasting any time getting into the match. What you didn't see during the split second cutaway was Undertaker effectively was stood right on top of some lit pyrotechnics. Anyone looking at unedited footage is able to see him stagger for a moment, his jacket briefly on fire, before he runs to the ring to get into his pod. He IS not wasting any time, but it's nothing to do with how ready for the match he is, he's suffering some potentially bad burns!

* The Netflix interactive film ''Escape the Undertaker'', in which The New Day wants to obtain the power of his urn and he's ready to test them by any means necessary.

Considering that he's "The Deadman" and all, along with having a 29 year career in WWE, The Undertaker is all about the Nightmare Fuel, and has racked up quite a fair share of it over the years.

** Though whenever 'Taker is working as a face, that church bell veers away from this trope into SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound.

* Undertaker locking Wrestling/UltimateWarrior into a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNg95xuwuCs casket.]] Even worse, it went on and on, with various officials trying (and failing) to get Warrior out of the casket. When they finally did, it was revealed that Warrior had torn up the coffin in a desperate attempt to get out before passing out, and had to be resuscitated. Creepy stuff for a show aired on Saturday afternoons.

** Getting [[Wrestling/RicFlair Ric Flair's]] attention by pulling his oldest son, David, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWKBnqn87yM into a locker room]] and proceeding to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat the tar out of him]]. One line in particular toward the end of the segment really sticks out:
---> '''Taker:''' (to David) Hey, [[KickTheDog don't you have a little brother]]? No no no...[[WouldHitAGirl you have a]] ''[[Wrestling/CharlotteFlair sister]]'', [[WouldHitAGirl don't you]]? ({{Evil Laugh}})
** Attacking Wrestling/{{Jeff Hardy}} after he's been [[KickTheDog handcuffed to the ropes]], while {{Wrestling/Raven}} forces a horrified Wrestling/{{Matt Hardy}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrok_b2CklQ to watch]].

** There's a scene where Big E's tied up and his head is incase with a glass cube ''filled with tarantulas''. He can either stay positive or give in.

** [[HarsherInHindsight Made even worse]] with the Ultimate Warrior's sudden passing at the age of 54. And the Warrior once said that he would die once he saw Undertaker's streak ended...which it did two days before his death.

* Three words: [[NotMyDriver "Where to]], [[Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon Stephanie?"]]
** Three more words: "Buckle up, [[Wrestling/TeddyLong Teddy.]]"

* His mind games with Randy Orton leading up to Hell in a Cell at [[Wrestling/ArmageddonWrestling Armageddon '05]]. Ranging from appearing in a mirror than vanishing, pretending he was a wax figure in an open coffin before choking Orton, ''possessing'' Josh Matthews....the list goes on and on.

** The shot of Ric Flair screaming as Undertaker chokes him, his face soaked in blood, and the final shot of their Wrestlemania 18 match, with Flair passed out in a pool of his own blood.

** Scott Keith even admitted that the crowd reaction at Survivor Series '90 was something very unprecedented..and if you look on the faces of ''adult'' fans in the crowd, legitimate fear is very visible. ''No one'' knew what to make of this.

* His RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Vickie Guerrero in 2008. [[SarcasmMode Highlights]] included (1) locking her in her office for a whole ''[=SmackDown=]'' before invoking LightsOffSomebodyDies at the end, (2) nearly subjecting her to BuriedAlive [[note]]Were it not for Big Show's FaceHeelTurn.[[/note]], and (3) using his LightFlickerTeleportation to bypass her HopeSpot protection that was Chavo Guerrero and Big Show - all reminders of why getting on the bad side of a giant KungFuWizard as much as she had is just TooDumbToLive. Oh, and the cherry on top? His genuine-looking DeathGlare right before [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHf9bBo3mdg Tombstoning her.]]

* During his [[FanNickname Bikertaker]] days, Taker had no problem giving out [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beatdown]]s to people. Some examples include:

* His RoaringRampageOfRevenge on Vickie Guerrero. [[SarcasmMode Highlights]] included (1) locking her in her office for an entire ''[=SmackDown=]'' before finally invoking LightsOffSomebodyDies at the end, (2) threatening her with his specialty of BuriedAlive, and (3) using his LightFlickerTeleportation to subvert her HopeSpot ZergRush of Chavo Guerrero and The Big Show. Just a clear reminder of why you shouldn't get on the bad side of a giant KungFuWizard as much as she had. Oh, and his genuine-looking DeathGlare just before Tombstoning her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tjEBgAH9ZA
