1	Being a band with a long history of psychedelic drug usage, there's no wonder that some of the stuff that Animal Collective puts out can be a bit... intense.

3	----
4	* The vast majority of the band's music videos are completely trippy and equally terrifying. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxhaRgJUMl8 The video for Summertime Clothes]] is particularly notable for this. Just... what the hell is going on?!
5	* Any live material from the ''Danse Manatee'' period, as heard on ''Hollindagain'' and ''Animal Crack Box'', is either [[SensoryAbuse very harsh]] or [[MindScrew very confusing]]. [[TakeAThirdOption Or both]].
6	* The [[http://i.imgur.com/MyX6U5z.jpg album cover]] of ''Sung Tongs'' is particularly nightmarish. It's an image of two somewhat-humanoid ''things'' made out of paper cut-outs against a blood red backdrop. What really makes this one creepy is the fact that they're both sporting deeply-unsettling [[SlasherSmile Slasher Smiles]] and that ''you can see their bones through what appears to be holes in their bodies''.
7	** Speaking of ''Sung Tongs'', we shouldn't neglect the horrifying tune that is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYtkW9_Wmn4 Whaddit I Done]]. To top it off, they actually used this song as the album's finale!
8	* The song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tORfE3MDqWc Bees]] can be quite unsettling to listen to on its own, but the "RWO RWO RWO RWWWO RWO RWOOOAAA" noise is just fucking ''disturbing''.
9	* The video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTbd0Ncsyus Who Could Win a Rabbit]]. The animal costumes are unsettling enough on their own, as well as the strange movements and camera angles. However, the most unsettling part is the end of the video, in which [[spoiler: the tortoise kills the hare [[CarnivoreConfusion and eats his remains]]]].
10	* The ending of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3faUZn7qb8 Fickle Cycle]] can really catch you [[JumpScare off guard]] if you're not expecting it.
11	* "Peacebone":
12	** The [[LastNoteNightmare First Note Nightmare]] combines horrific synth drones and random voices.
