History NightmareFuel / Touhou

Gensokyo is host to over a hundred assorted CuteMonsterGirls who can potentially toss as many bullets at you. However, even though being surrounded by such a massive amount of girls doesn't mean Gensokyo is a hospitable place of marzipan and kittens. The aforementioned amounts of bullets thrown at you, the possibility of death, the potential of some of these monster girls, and the very real possibility that Yukari just might pop in one day and spirit you away are just some of [[NightmareFuel the many horrors that await you in the rural world that is Gensokyo...]]

* In chapter 14 of ''Wild and Horned Hermit'' we get an introduction closeup shot [[spoiler:of a Hobgoblin]]. [[SurpriseCreepy While it isn't creepy on it's own it will certanly catch many readers of guard]].

* Enera from ''Forbidden Scrollery''. A kind of SuperSmoke youkai with huge GlowingEyesOfDoom that haunts various houses and if it isn't noticed by the house residents then the house will really burn down. And if it fails to burn down a house it then jumps on to the closest next victim making it hard to corner. Just the way the thing is presented make it even creepier.

* Beware of traversing TheDarkSide of NicoNicoDouga. They have {{Seinen}} depictions of Touhou itself, most of which contain the R-18 tag. The tag name for Touhou, appropriately enough, on Google Translate roughly means "[[YouHaveBeenWarned Gensokyo is a scary place]]." Interestingly, YouTube also tends to import such depictions from NicoNicoDouga itself.

** The fan-made music PV "[[AwesomeMusic/{{Touhou}} Josei no Qualia ~ Subterranean Rose]]," created by Innocent Key, is a classic example of such a {{Seinen}} depiction. Sure, we love Koishi's alternate outfit that she wears on there with the DetachedSleeves and stuff, but the fact that she chains Marisa to a cross, rips off her clothes through ClothingDamage, and sometimes gets a downright insane look on her face when she attacks Alice and Patchy, not to mention giving off a SlasherSmile, is pretty freaky. Not only that, she also cuts a stuffed teddy bear open in the beginning of the PV, and at the end, while Satori comforts an unconscious Koishi after she has been knocked out by Marisa's MASTER SPAAAARRRRKKKKK!, we see Koishi eerily opening her eyes in a creepy way just as the PV ends.

* It is somewhat common for fans to depict Yuuka and Flandre as destructive, maniacal monsters. While others go in the opposite direction with "youkai moe~" and CheerfulChild depictions respectively, it says something about their status when any image of them giving a hug on Danbooru is met with many comments along the lines of "OH GOD NO!!". ItGetsWorse when you realize that the description "youkai moe~" is a pun on Yuuka being a flower youkai ("moe~" means "budding") ... her real personality is evident from her route in ''PhantasmagoriaOfFlowerView'' and it is not pleasant.

* The very being of Saigyou Ayakashi.

* There's actually a bit of FridgeHorror regarding Remilia and Flandre. If you read through Remilia's profile, it states that Remilia can't create more vampires because she doesn't have the appetite to drain all of a person's blood, confirming that vampires need to feed on a victim to turn them. Combine this with the fact that Remilia is stated to appear as a child, and Flandre is a whole five years younger than her. Some vampire out there nommed on two little girls who were probably somewhere around 5-10 years old!

* The Scarlet Devil Mansion. According to game manuals, it's much larger on the inside, monochrome, and very dark. It would be very easy for someone to get lost. Also, if you fell down a hole (which apparently exist in there, according to manuals), no one will hear you, and you will most likely be stuck there until you die of lack of water/food.
* Kisume has been revealed to chop off heads and hide them in her bucket, and the head you see might not be her own. But the real creepy part is that she seems [[ObliviouslyEvil completly unaware of her actions]].

* The inside of Yukari's gaps contain countless of unblinking eyes and arms trying to claw their way out.
