* In "Tori and Jade's Playdate", two guys show up on Jade and Tori's "date" and proceed to disregard any boundaries or personal space, repeatedly touching the girls despite their visible discomfort, refusing to leave even when Jade and Tori tell them that they want to be left alone. It takes the girls singing "Take A Hint" ''directly in their faces'' to get them to leave and ''even then'', it turns out, at the end of the episode, that they went to the play anyway and start walking towards the stage. Jade and Tori's reactions are actual fear and they both take off running. The last part is PlayedForLaughs, of course, but being harassed like that and finding out that they followed you is terrifying.

** While not Nightmare fuel per se, the mere fact it took five people to restrain the normally calm sweet and ditzy Cat when she wanted her phone and the fact being she’s stronger than she looks could have some serious implications if Cat ever actually does have a mental breakdown.

The show itself has been getting DarkerAndEdgier as it progresses, but they are a few moments in ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' that appears to be some lovely NightmareFuel.

* BlackComedy [[UptoEleven taken to the extreme]] in "Driving Tori Crazy" when Jade drives Tori to the middle of a desert with a shovel in the back. After Tori jumps out the car and runs away, Jade looks at the shovel and says to herself, "Next Time". Not to mention the creepy lullaby she sings which leads Tori to running away.

* In "Beck's Big Break", when Robbie has a dream of a GIANT REX towering over him in a darkened atmosphere while he's in a cereal bowl, and the giant Rex ''blasts him with snot''. Doubles as NauseaFuel. Such provides the page image above.

* "The Worst Couple" shows Beck and Jade having issues (again), one of their arguments being in the janitor's closet. And poor Cat is stuck in the middle ''getting a panic attack from it all!!'' It's played for laughs, but anyone familiar with anxiety is likely not laughing. Her discomfort quickly transitions into pacing the floor ([[{{Claustrophobia}} with very little elbow room]]) and hyperventilating while her friends are too lost in their own drama to notice that something is terribly wrong with her. Even when she passes out, they blame ''that'' on each other before leaving her unconscious in the closet instead of, I dunno, ''taking her to the nurse!'' [[WithFriendsLikeThese Friends of the year, am I right?]]
--->'''Cat''': [[SurvivalMantra I'm under my bed, I'm under my bed, I'm under my bed!]]
* Did you know there's a story behind Cat's red hair? One time, her brother mistook her for an intruder and ''threw a vase at her, hitting her in the head!'' How did this lead to the dye? She liked how the blood looked in her hair!

%% * Jade's creepy video at Prome.

%% * Cat's SanitySlippage in "Cell Block" was rather terrifying to behold. Even Jade who gets a kick out of tormenting her is affected by this emotionally.
%% -->'''Jade''': Its kinda sad watching Cat go mentally insane. I always thought it would happen more gradually.

%% * The earthquake in ''Andre's Horrible Girl''.

* Did you know there's a story behind Cat's red hair? Notice how it's the same shade as human blood? That's because her brother mistook her for an intruder and ''threw a vase at her, hitting her in the head!'' How did this lead to the dye? She liked how the blood looked in her hair!

* Fawn "Ponnie" Leibowitz is essentially a mixture of a ManipulativeBitch and a dangerous mental patient. She's [[BreakTheCutie bent on ruining Tori]] and [[DespairEventHorizon driving her to insanity]], often through the use of meticulous {{Gaslighting}}. Were Tori not the daughter of a cop, Ponnie likely would've succeeded, and even then she [[CliffHanger gets away in the end]]. She's the closest the series has to a KnightOfCerebus.

** On to the B plot, Robbie's condition is PlayedForLaughs, but he's right to be scared. Had that toy car lodged in his small intestine moved (which could've happened at [[ParanoiaFuel any moment]]), it would've (not ''could've'', but ''would've'') '''mutilated his guts'''. The doctor doesn't even try to sugarcoat this while saying it in front of him. As if the very real danger of a messy death wasn't bad enough, his parents, who've already been established by this point to not be his biggest fans, weren't even there. Oh yeah, let's try to remember that he's still a child!
*** Mind you, he was forced to swallow this car when he was a little kid; he is now 16. The fact that the car could've dropped out of his intestines at any point between then and this episode shines how much he was moving around in previous episodes in a [[FridgeHorror pretty grim light]]. Remember the DancePartyEnding of "Tori the Zombie"? He could've started bleeding internally right there on that stage and died without even knowing why.

* "Tori Gets Stuck" is such an infamously screwed up episode that most fans prefer to consider it non-canon.

** The episode is horrifying enough on its own, but don't be surprised if anyone well-versed in the medical field found it unwatchable. The doctors here are pretty unprofessional and they do a pretty pisspoor job of protecting their patients and guests. Hell, Trina was heavily implied to have walked out of there with stage 3 tuberculosis (which likely would've killed her). And it's horribly unsafe for anyone to donate 3 pints of blood in the same day (each donation should be 8 weeks apart at the least, especially for someone of a small body build like Tori's). And don't even get us started on the blood splatter scene (which comes with the added {{Squick}} value for those with hemophobia). Makes you wonder how this hospital hasn't been shut down for malpractice.
