Context NightmareFuel / Haven

Go To

1* In "Fur," a man finds out he has been taxidermized alive. By his mother, after surviving a fire that killed his wife. He finds this out after he's cut and he starts bleeding sand.
2* In "Sketchy," watching the deckhand slowly [[BodyHorror lose his mouth, then his ears, then his eyes]] and then seeing his completely blank face resting in a bed, sedated, knowing he was probably ''silently'' freaking the hell out.
3** Also, the guy whose body gets folded like a piece of paper. You see his bones break in 90 degree angles on screen!
4* In "Fear and Loathing," Ian Haskell steals Nathan's FeelNoPain Trouble. About halfway through the episode, we find out why, when he shimmies down an extremely narrow fireplace by [[DramaticDislocation dislocating both his shoulders.]] He pops them back in onscreen with just the most [[SickeningCrunch awful]] sound.
5* In "Lockdown", with the plague that makes people's veins turn black before they bleed out of every orifice and die.
6* In "The Farmer", with the various organ thefts.
7* In "Over My Head", with the girl who gets killed by an invisible shark in a swimming pool, the guy who drowns on land (this also happens to Duke, but Audrey saves him), and the guy who gets swarmed by hundreds of tiny crabs.
8* In "Double Jeopardy", the various punishments Lady Justice doles out.
9** The fate of the person who summoned Lady Justice. She literally becomes part of a painting and she cries a few moments in the painting before becoming one with it.
10* The Skinwalker - most people run afoul of their Troubles on accident, through trauma or stress doing something they do everyday. How the hell do you find out that if you wear a person's skin you can become them? It's even more disturbing if they had one of the few Troubled families who ''taught'' them about their Trouble.
11** How you ask? [[spoiler:Having your ''skin melt off'' is a good start.]] Troubles are also shown to have an instinct attached to them, driving the person into a situation where they would be used. The same is true here.
12* In "Fallout", Marion Caldwell's cold, dead voice, and Conrad's corpse slumped in an armchair.
13* In "Survivors", with a guy who unknowingly makes people go through SpontaneousHumanCombustion. And the fact that Jennifer narrowly missed being a victim by ''seconds.''
14* In "Bad Blood", a man's blood [[BloodyMurder goes around killing people]]. With one touch, it can completely drain you of your blood, getting bigger and bigger with each victim. It started out as a few drops.
15* [[spoiler: Jordan]]'s death in "Countdown" is disturbingly drawn-out and painful as [[spoiler: Wade guts her and restrains her until she bleeds out.]] No one deserved that.
16* In "The Trouble With Troubles", a freaking ''volcano'' appeared in Haven on account of The Troubles.
17* In "When The Bough Breaks", whenever a baby cries, a random (and I emphasize, '''COMPLETELY RANDOM''') person in town dies.
18** So many things in this episode is pure unadulterated Nightmare Fuel. An entire family whose male members are taught never to cry. The story of a mentally-challenged cousin who they weren't able to teach, and what they had to do to him. The fact that enough people once died of this Trouble that it was successfully covered up as an outbreak of the ''[[UsefulNotes/TheSpanishFlu Spanish Flu]]''. The fact that there seems to be no way to fix this other than ''killing the baby'' or [[spoiler: giving Duke back the Crocker family Trouble and having him kill the baby's father.]]
19* "The Lighthouse:" the evil, evil smile that appears on [[spoiler: Audrey's]] face when [[spoiler: Mara's personality awakens.]] Chilling.
20* "See No Evil" is full of Nightmare Fuel. A few examples:
21** The Trouble Of The Week, which causes people's eyes and/or mouths to spontaneously sew themselves shut. According to Dwight, it is ''surgically impossible'' to remove the stitches. And further, it's implied that this Trouble was one of the ones the Crocker family already wiped out, and it's back because Duke's Trouble is out of control, [[spoiler:and anyone who might tell him Jennifer is dead becomes a victim]]. And with Audrey not available, no one has any clue how to stop it. For further NightmareFuel, just think of the Troubles we ''know'' Duke has. Hint: eating organs and making people die by crying. Yeah, he's a walking amalgam of total horror just waiting for a trigger.
22** Mara is actually very, very scary. She's utterly ruthless, she knows how everyone's Trouble works and how to exploit them, and [[spoiler: because she has access to Audrey's memories,]] she knows exactly what buttons to push to drive a wedge between our heroes. [[spoiler: The fact that all this evil is coming out of the form of the Audrey Parker we've come to know and love just makes it worse.]]
23* In "Spotlight," Mara reveals she remembers all of her reincarnations and hints she's been in the background of her overlays the entire time. Which makes it less like an overlay and more like an AndIMustScream scenario. Mara is evil, but this cycle has been repeating for ''500 years.'' The idea was that the overlays would force her to help with the Troubles, which they do, but they also do other things. Like have relationships. Get pregnant. ''Give birth.'' And Mara had zero control over any of that. To make it worse, this was her ''mother's'' plan.
24* "Morbidity": An old man's Trouble is to make liquids around him bubble up. Sounds useless... but then it activates while he's in the hospital hooked up to an IV. The bubbles enter his bloodstream and give him an embolism.
25* "Chemistry": Mara takes several levels in creepy when she [[spoiler: seduces Duke solely for the opportunity to alter his Trouble in the middle of sex. And then she ''cuts off her own toe'' to make her false ransom note more believable.]] Holy crap.
