History YMMV / NightVisions

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped:
** "Dead Air": Don't piss off people on a regular basis or you'll eventually run into somebody that will not take any of your guff.
** The episode "Neighborhood Watch" shows that taking the law into your own hands is a terrible idea and just because you hear ugly rumors about a person, you should ''never'' assume that they are guilty.
** "The Maze" delivers a pretty important one at the end: Nothing lasts forever, and you never know when the end might come, so don't put off your dreams, because you might not get another chance at living them.

** Unless, as some viewers have speculated, the BadFuture the heroine visits is actually an Alternate Timeline.

* NightmareFuel: This being a horror anthology, there's a ''good deal'' of it, but here's a brief list of some of the worst.
** The terrifying ending to "A View Through the Window" is by far one of the biggest twists in the ''whole series'', made worse by just how ''unexpected'' everything becomes... MoodWhiplash doesn't even begin to describe it!
** The twist in "Rest Stop" where it turns out it's a new twist on the old CannibalClan concept. Thankfully, the locals ''aren't'' cannibals... But they ''do'' kill travelers and [[SubvertedTrope turn them into gaudy souvenirs for other dumbass tourists to buy]]! The actual workshop (underneath the truck-stop) however, is still ''really'' disturbing...
** The CruelTwistEnding of "Afterlife." Not to mention how mentally unbalanced the man is after he's revived, considering it to be a good thing to [[PaterFamilicide kill his family]] just so they can join him in "Heaven"...
** The death of the shock jock in "Dead Air" is pretty unsettling, mainly because of how [[NothingIsScarier you don’t get to see any of it, but you sure do get to hear him scream.]] There’s also the dead rats the SerialKiller leaves in the shock jock’s food. Hell, "Dead Air" is just pure nightmare fuel from beginning to end.
** The crewman having his own head slowly devoured by the people he helped in "Cargo."

* TheWoobie: Creator/MalcolmMcDowell’s character in "Patterns", who ruined his life and pushed away everyone he cared about in his efforts to stop the world from falling into chaos, and the few times he tried to stop lead to the death of two of his friends. Hearing him crying as Dr. Critchley has him dragged off to be medicated is heartbreaking.

* EsotericHappyEnding: "The Maze" ends with our Heroine going on a date with the Hero. However, [[spoiler:the world will still be destroyed by a stray meteor next year!]] The host even says "Nothing lasts forever kids, try not to forget that."

* TheScrappy: Sally Osgood from "Neighborhood Watch", she's so quick to suspect the worst of the [[spoiler:alleged]] molester that some wish that [[spoiler:she was the one that shot the man, instead of her husband. Thus turning the ending into a KarmicTwistEnding.]]
