** Even worse is "Tron Cat". The beat is creepy as hell, Tyler says stuff like [[DeadBabyComedy he raped a pregnant bitch says he had a threesome]]. Even Dr. T.C. who is later revealed as another one of his personalities is speechless and says "[[PrecisionFStrike What the fuck]]?"

moving EVERYTHING Tyler-specific from the OFWGKTA page, it was too long for the YMMV page so here it goes; added a couple new examples too
Added DiffLines:
Tyler's work has been known to dabble into eerie or sometimes gruesome imagery. His earlier material is rife with this, but some scares can (and will) still pop up in his later work.
----
*''Bastard'':
**"Sarah". It seems to be about a boy who kills, cannibalizes and rapes a girl [[DisproportionateRetribution after she says no]] [[MinorInjuryOverreaction to his invitation to prom]]. [[TearJerker Made even sadder]] by this line just before he does so: "But all I really want is a kiss on the cheek, in private, not public on the streets...". Not to mention all the nice sound effects in the song, including the victim screaming "Tyler!" through her gag followed by some indiscernible babbling, the sound of her apparently choking on... something... and after her death, a skit in which Tyler cradles what's left of her body and croons to her "My lady... you're my lady... taste so good..." before committing suicide by cop.
**"Blow", another song about Tyler raping and murdering a girl. The chorus, accompanied by Tyler's alter-ego demon voice, sums it up pretty well.
-->Baby, you're an angel
-->How about we turn this into a fable of some sort?
-->You already know you're dead
-->Ironic cause your lipstick's red, of course
-->I stuff you in the trunk, drunk
-->Cause all I really wanna do is fuck and snort blow
**Take a look at [[http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0181/6721/products/bastardcover_1024x1024.png?v=1350593200 the cover of]] ''Bastard''. Now, [[NightmareFace take a look at some of the individual faces]].
*''Goblin'':
**The video for "Yonkers:" an InactionVideo in which he plays with and then eats a cockroach, vomits, has his eyes go completely black, and ultimately hangs himself on camera. The song itself isn't any less frightening, especially at the end with Wolf Haley's verse. But after that, [[LastNoteNightmare some rather unsettling distortion plays and Wolf says "Dead."]]
**Even worse is "Tron Cat". The beat is creepy as hell, Tyler says stuff like [[DeadBabyComedy he raped a pregnant bitch says he had a threesome]]. Even Dr. T.C. who is later revealed as another one of his personalities is speechless and says "[[PrecisionFStrike What the fuck]]?"
**"She", an R&B ballad about a StalkerWithACrush [[ParanoiaFuel who has an obsessive infatuation with a woman, even watching over her as she sleeps]]. Doesn't help that Frank Ocean's hook turns this into an ear worm. The video is creepy as well: it portrays Tyler as a masked sexual predator with BlackEyesOfEvil that sneaks into the bedroom of Frank Ocean's lover, rapping to her as she sleeps. Frank sees it and reports it to the police who track him down and successfully catch him. As the police take Tyler back to the lover's house, Tyler finds time to rap to her more about how much he loves her, and the scenario ends with Tyler '''[[BreakingTheFourthWall turning to the camera]]''' and [[SlasherSmile smiling]]. It zooms out to show that it's on a TV screen that the lover is watching...but the camera pans up to show that [[ParanoiaFuel Tyler is standing behind her]].
**The special edition cover art for ''Goblin'' is a lovely close-up of Tyler from the "Yonkers" video, BlackEyesOfEvil included, staring into your soul.
*''Wolf'':
**The {{Creepy Doll}}s (Tyler and a woman in heavy UncannyValleyMakeup) in Tyler's video for "Ifhy," along with the StalkerWithACrush lyrics and DomesticAbuse imagery. (Though NightmareRetardant kicks in when Tyler's doll is [[MoodWhiplash suddenly run over by the actual Tyler and Hodgy and the song switches to "Jamba"]])
**"Pigs," which is done in the style of a track from ''Bastard'' or ''Goblin'', only that it stars Samuel and stops being tongue-in-cheek early on and turns into a horrifying deconstruction with a ''very'' convincing MyGodWhatHaveIDone coupled with a [[TearJerker tear jerking]] emotional breakdown.
-->'''Samuel''': I didn't mean to hurt anybody, I'm sorry
-->I wouldn't hurt a fly or consider joining the Army
-->I'm hardly ever angry, Roger Rabbit framed me
-->Momma I'm the same fucking kid that you made, see?
-->I don't wanna go to jail, I just wanna go home
-->And I want them fucking kids at school to just leave me alone
** Also, Samuel's entrance at the end of "Rusty," when he kills Earl. Though it's hammy enough to be BlackComedy, it's still pretty disturbing.
-->'''Samuel''': [[WhamLine Oh, SHUT THE]] ''[[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]]'' [[WhamLine UP!]] (*a gunshot is heard along with the sound of Earl hitting the floor) [[WhamLine SAMUEL'S HERE!]]
**The ''Tamale'' video, which is otherwise [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious]], has a very eerie bit in which Tyler is in ''whiteface''.
*''Cherry Bomb'':
**The video to "Buffalo" is rife with UncannyValley imagery. It starts out with Tyler in his whiteface makeup again, sporting an [[KubrickStare lopsided glare at the viewer]], but then it zooms out to reveal that he's been lynched and that an [[TorchesAndPitchforks angry mob]] is ''still'' coming for him. Tyler lowers himself from the noose and he starts running, but the way he walks is unsteady and jilted, like a corpse or a ragdoll. [[NightmareRetardant At least the second half of the video is okay.]]
*''Flower Boy'':
** The first half of the "Who Dat Boy" video is rife with FacialHorror right from the thumbnail. It starts out with Tyler creating something that blows up in his face, [[NauseaFuel literally]]. Judging by the lyrics and the fact that the police are after him throughout the video, it's safe to assume it was a bomb. Tyler then visits A$AP Rocky, who sews a new face onto him. Special mention goes to the part where he walks to Rocky's house, which seems pretty goofy [[SurprisinglyCreepyMoment until the camera turns around to reveal his destroyed face.]]
*''Music/{{IGOR}}'':
**[[DeliberatelyMonochrome Tyler's]] [[NightmareFace face]] on the album cover to Music/{{IGOR}} could qualify as this, his blank stare and the stark contrast between it and the purely pink background.
** While most of ''Igor'' is light on nightmare fuel, "New Magic Wand" is a glaring exception, with a [[SensoryAbuse sinister and abrasive beat]] akin to Tyler's ''Bastard'' [=/=] ''Goblin'' output and lyrics about Tyler becoming [[{{Yandere}} dangerously obsessive towards his crush]] and wanting to [[MurderTheHypotenuse kill the woman he perceives as a romantic rival]].
*''Call Me If You Get Lost'':
**The video for ''SORRY NOT SORRY''. Featuring all of Tyler's alter egos and a plain shirtless Tyler, at what is implied to be an execution booth, if only for what happens next. Midway through, the shirtless Tyler starts moving around the stage, and the alter egos disappear one by one, until only Tyler Baudelaire, ''CMIYGL'''s alter ego, is left. Then he gets jumped on too, the video ending on a grim shot of the shirtless Tyler punching Baudelaire to death, drenched in his blood, [[NightmareRetardant and then it's cut off by the CMIYGL jingle.]]
