History NightmareFuel / UminekoWhenTheyCry

* The mystery man from 19 years ago. You would never know when he'd end up calling Natsuhi again and just what he'd have her do next while watching her from the shadows, close enough to know if she so much as stirred from the bed she was ordered to lie down in until morning... * shudder*

* During the wedding sequence at the climax,the part with the wedding rign was written as though Erika was raping Battler.

-->'' " And... She laughed. That eerie, jarring laugh. Even though I was looking at it right in front of my eyes, I really didn't want to accept it." ''
-->-- Battler Ushiromiya, about his little cousin [[CreepyChild Maria]].

* With the addition of the [=PS3=] artwork and voicing to the original novels, Maria has become possibly the [[http://i.imgur.com/BFJvl.jpg most terrifying thing]] you could set eyes upon.

* The First Twilight. Amidst decorations fit for a Halloween party are corpses, with their stomachs opened and guts (and candies) spilling out.

* The tea party. Beatrice forces Rosa, the last one to die, to eat foods made out of [[ImAHumanitarian all her hated, abusive older siblings]]. In the anime, Beatrice tops the whole thing off by giving Rosa a dessert consisting of ''her own daughter's head'', who accuses Rosa of not loving her while she was alive.

* Rosa's tortures deaths once again. As if it isn't enough having Maria, who's become increasingly sympathetic through the arcs completely break down and put her mother through a CruelAndUnusualDeath full of surreal imagery and all sorts of contorted deaths, the end of that scene makes it look like she was about to be gunning for Battler... [[MindScrew or not?]].

* Rosa's torture and death was just as sadistically messed up as the tea party in the second. Drown in an ocean of jelly! ...Until the jelly pressure turns you into a meatball. Be buried in a mountain of cake! ...Until the cake pressure turns you into a layer of jam. Turn into a butterfly! ...And get blown right into a spider's web. The manga also has Maria dragged into a giant oven by gingerbread men while Rosa watches as her burnt corpse falls out. The kicker? This is all being done to her by her sister. Rosa's sister is torturing her and her nine year-old daughter in such a horrifying manner that Battler completely breaks down from watching it.

[[MindScrew or not?]].

* The First Twilight victims of the fifth arc plays on a certain AdultFear: Your children being horribly murdered.

* "There's no face! ''There's no face!''" Might be {{Narm}} if it were spoken, but when it's just written...

* Ange's total [[VillainousBreakdown mental breakdown]] and being DrivenToSuicide upon reading the Book of the Single Truth. All of it, crossed with Tearjerker. Especially the horrific fantasy of being bitten and torn apart by goat-headed St Lucia students, and Ange being reduced to LaughingMad defiance and delusion afterwards.

* In episode 6, the wedding scene was written as though Erika was raping Battler.

** Worse, Erika'a absolute glee as she reveals what she did, and how Maria continued playing her role even while Rosa was murdered in the same room.

** The manga actually clarifies that this was actually referring to ''Higurashi'', with Hanyū being the game master who couldn't think of a way for Rika to reach the game's goal. Since [[EnemyWithout Featherine is to Hany&#363 what Bern is to Rika]], this makes their interactions a lot more revealing.

** The manga actually clarifies that this was actually referring to the Dice Killing Chapter of ''Higurashi'', where Hanyū sent Rika into a new world fragment without her which meant that Rika couldn't loop her way out of it like usual, and all of her attempts to escape culminated in her having to kill her own mother. That's when Bern truly [[EnemyWithout detached from Rika]], and it is strongly implied that Featherine is to Hanyū what Bern is to Rika.

* Rosa brutally tearing Sakutaro, Maria's favorite toy and ImaginaryFriend apart. And Rosa doesn't leave it at that, oh no. Then she has to shove the remains in Maria's face and say "[[http://www.mangareader.net/959-58358-29/umineko-no-naku-koro-ni-episode-4/chapter-13.html Sakutaro is dead now.]]" It gets even worse in the manga when it switches to Maria's perspective, and we see Sakutaro's severed human head being dangled in front of her.

* Dlanor's moments of temporary insanity. "<DIE THE DEATH! SENTENCE TO DEATH! GREAT EQUALIZER IS THE DEATH!>" The manga makes it so much worse. The...[[http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-no-naku-koro-ni-chiru-episode-5-end-of-the-golden-witch/15/42 smile?]] on her face when "GREAT EQUALIZER IS THE DEATH!" is declared is the stuff of nightmares.

* Spider-Erika from the manga is pretty [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/umineko_no_naku_koro_ni_chiru_episode_5_end_of_the_golden_witch/c021/56.html "Why would you show that?!"]]

* What Bernkastel went through was worse than Lambdadelta. She was trapped in a logic error as a PIECE while her game master abandoned the game and she was forced to fix it herself in a way that was compared to a monkey randomly typing on a typewriter until it writes Hamlet. And if you take [=Ep6=] witches tea party into account, Bern is very fearful of Featherine, who calls Bern her old miko, so maybe Bern was trapped in a Logic error by Featherine.

%%* In ''Dawn'', when it's revealed who the murderer of that arc is.

* Bernkastel's technique to goad Battler into playing another game is seen as underhanded and downright cruel, even by Lambda: Battler's sister, Ange, was sent back in time to 1986 in order to aid him. When his spirit was crushed and he failed to exist, Ange reminded him of who he was by revealing her identity, and she is subsequently torn to bits by red-hot tools until she's nothing but a pile of meat. Battler never sees this as Ange keeps him turned around the entire time she's dying. Bern's idea of getting him to continue to play is showing him this same event so that he can witness the horror.\\
It's even worse after reading Witch's Tanabata, and figuring out that Ange's entire purpose was to be raised to hate Eva and help Bern in the game 12 years later by having her killed off. Bern destroyed a little girl's happiness so she could kill her 12 years later after giving her a false sense of hope. Pretty much, all of Bern's acts of cruelty is enough to make you cringe at what she's capable of if she stops playing around.

* The tea party. Beatrice forces:Rosa, the last one to die, to eat foods made out of [[ImAHumanitarian her siblings]]. Then Beatrice tops the whole thing off by giving Rosa a dessert consisting of ''her own daughter's head'', who accuses Rosa of not loving her while she was alive.

%%* Ange's perception of Eva. Shotgun. BOOOOOM!! [[EyeScream AAAAAAAAHHHH!!

%%* In episode 4, try this page: [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/umineko_no_naku_koro_ni_episode_4_alliance_of_the_golden_witch/v04/c022/41.html]] I don't know about you, but I was absolutely TERRIFIED to look at this. The face...just...not only is it ripped off, but its a troll too...

* Kyrie. In the first episode, she seems like a decent enough person at first, and is actually kind of cool. Later chapters gradually reveal more and more of her twisted side, eventually revealing, among other things, that she used her own daughter to get to Rudolf and also heavily implying that she, along with Rudolf, is the true culprit behind the Rokkenjima incident -- a monster who massacred an entire family in cold blood. The idea that someone could seem so perfectly-normal despite being that warped in reality is pretty chilling. [[spoiler:It's mildly subverted in the end when it's revealed that her more decent qualities were genuine and she always did love Ange despite her claiming the contrary to Eva.]]

* Rosa's torture and death was just as sadistically messed up as the tea party in the second. Drown in an ocean of jelly! ...Until the jelly pressure turns you into a meatball. Be buried in a mountain of cake! ...Until the cake pressure turns you into a layer of jam. Turn into a butterfly! ...And get blown right into a spider's web. The manga also has Maria dragged into a giant oven by gingerbread men while Rosa watches as her burnt corpse falls out. The kicker? This is all being done to her by her sister. Rosa's sister is torturing her and her nine year-old daughter in such a horrifying manner that Battler almost completely breaks down from watching it.
