4	* In ''[[https://ia800401.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/21/items/fanfictiondotnet_repack/Fanfiction_L.zip&file=Fanfiction%2FLion%20King%2FCompleted%2FLion%20King%20-%20ThatPersonYouMightKnow%20-%20Friend%20Like%20Me.txt Friend Like Me]]'', Scar mentions dreaming about [[spoiler: forcing Mufasa to eat Simba]].
5	* In ''Make or Break'', Shenzi suggests [[spoiler: slashing Nala's face to ruin her beauty]].
6	* In ''[[https://ia800401.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/21/items/fanfictiondotnet_repack/Fanfiction_L.zip&file=Fanfiction%2FLion%20King%2FCompleted%2FLion%20King%20-%20ThatPersonYouMightKnow%20-%20Magic%20Mystery%20Show.txt Magic Mystery Show]]'', we get a good idea of Hago's cruelty when he [[spoiler: kills his assistant Kitu by overloading his brain]].
7	* In ''[[https://ia800401.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/21/items/fanfictiondotnet_repack/Fanfiction_L.zip&file=Fanfiction%2FLion%20King%2FCompleted%2FLion%20King%20-%20ThatPersonYouMightKnow%20-%20Dead%20as%20a%20Dodo.txt Dead as a Dodo]]'', Simba and Nala worry about [[spoiler: being dragged into Hell by the Devil]]. Of course, the scene is played for laughs...
8	* In ''King's Ransom'', the text description of the Outlands makes it seem very nightmarish indeed...
9	* ''[[https://ia800401.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/21/items/fanfictiondotnet_repack/Fanfiction_L.zip&file=Fanfiction%2FLion%20King%2FCompleted%2FLion%20King%20-%20ThatPersonYouMightKnow%20-%20Your%20Worst%20Nightmare.txt Your Worst Nightmare]]'' is obviously a literal example, though Hago also gruesomely describes Simba's possible death, even adding he would like to drink the cub's blood afterwards.
10	* In ''Miss the Girl'', [[spoiler: Hago claims he will kill Nala via a "brain overload."]]
11	* In ''Zazu's in Charge'', Hago speculates if the "Death Blaster" still works on his staff, and proceeds to test it by blowing up a large rock.
12	* In ''You're Fired'', the hyenas make several gruesome threats directed towards the cubs.
13	* In ''[[https://ia800401.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/21/items/fanfictiondotnet_repack/Fanfiction_L.zip&file=Fanfiction%2FLion%20King%2FCompleted%2FLion%20King%20-%20ThatPersonYouMightKnow%20-%20Hago%27s%20Little%20Puppet.txt Hago's Little Puppet]]'', [[spoiler: Hago hypnotizes Mufasa, turning him against the cubs]].
14	* In ''Army of Evil'', Simba and Nala venture down into a dark cave, only to discover [[spoiler: drawings done by Scar of them dying in various gruesome ways, including falling onto sharp rocks and being torn to shreds by hyenas.]]
15	* ''Friends to the End'' has some rather nightmarish scenes concerning Scar. In particular, [[spoiler: he rapes Uzuri, a teenage lioness, before sinking his claws into her stomach.]]
16	** The quote below is another example:
17	-->'''Scar:''' [[spoiler: I was actually thinking of subjecting Simba to some visual torture first. That young Nala cub is quite attractive, actually. I'm sure I could do something purely despicable to her that Simba could watch.]]

19
20	[[folder: Series 2]]
21	* Series Two actually ''starts'' with a Nightmare Fuel moment, as ''Life Hurts'' opens with [[spoiler: Hago's spirit torturing Simba in the first of many nightmares throughout the series]].
22	* The more menacing Mtumwa in ''Mtumwa Strikes Back'' would count on his own.
23	* The Hago nightmare in ''Two Cubs and a Baby'', as well as Simba and Nala's exaggerated fears of what the baby's mother would do to them if something happened.
24	* In ''Tama's Bet'', the idea of your boyfriend slowly becoming meaner and nastier would certainly count.
25	** Simba and Nala briefly discuss their recurring nightmares.
26	** The description of the Farlands would certainly indicate it to be full of this trope.
27	* In ''Hakuna Matata'', Timon and Pumbaa are turned from a lovable comic relief duo into [[spoiler: [[AdaptationalVillainy an evil duo of demons from another world]] [[WouldHurtaChild who drain the souls out of innocent little cubs so they can live forever.]] And they’ve been doing this for [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld two hundred years!]]]]
28	* In ''[[https://ia800401.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/21/items/fanfictiondotnet_repack/Fanfiction_L.zip&file=Fanfiction%2FLion%20King%2FCompleted%2FLion%20King%20-%20ThatPersonYouMightKnow%20-%20Night%20Terrors.txt Night Terrors]]'', Tama's transformation into a vampire would count. The text repeatedly describes how horrifying the vampires look with red eyes and long, pointed fangs.
29	* In ''Sick Simba'', the sheer concept of being slowly eaten away by an illness is quite terrifying.
30	* ''The Royal Reaper'' is all about this trope, as it basically plays like a horror movie. Simba's story about the Reaper, while [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome awesome]], definitely qualifies, as he describes how the Reaper murders his victims in gory detail. The scenes featuring the Reaper would also qualify. [[https://soundcloud.com/anonymous13-b/lionking-adventures-royal His voice alone is scary as heck]].
31	** The flashbacks about [[spoiler: Tojo's pride being burnt down by his father, the king]], are quite frightening too.
32	* In ''All Alone'', [[spoiler: Usaliti reveals he sent the Pridelanders to the Dark Place. At the end, Simba sends him there instead]].
33	* ''Who Are You'' opens with a brief Hago nightmare, but soon descends into hilarity and sweet moments.

41	* In ''The Royal Challenge'', [[spoiler: Tama is forced by Hila to infect Nala with the Unyevu disease, which will drain her of her energy within an hour unless she is rescued]].

43	** [[spoiler: Hago is killed when Nala throws his staff at him.]]
44	* In ''[[https://ia800401.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/21/items/fanfictiondotnet_repack/Fanfiction_L.zip&file=Fanfiction%2FLion%20King%2FCompleted%2FLion%20King%20-%20ThatPersonYouMightKnow%20-%20The%20Prince%20and%20the%20Frog.txt The Prince and the Frog]]'', [[spoiler: Froggy sticks his tongue in Simba's ear in order to brainwash him]].
45	* The Mungu Pride's threats in ''God of All'' would count.
46	* The scene where Duni becomes ''Shocker'' is extremely terrifying.
47	** Shocker's very presence is quite nightmarish as well.
48	* A lot of moments in ''[[https://ia800401.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/21/items/fanfictiondotnet_repack/Fanfiction_L.zip&file=Fanfiction%2FLion%20King%2FCompleted%2FLion%20King%20-%20ThatPersonYouMightKnow%20-%20Darkness%20Falls.txt Darkness Falls]]'' would most certainly count:
49	** The very opening, which depicts Ahadi watching a victim being tortured, [[Main/NothingIsScarier and we never get an indication as to what is being done to the poor lion.]]
50	** Death's initial appearances, where he's nothing more than a pair of glowing red eyes.
51	** When it turns out that [[spoiler: Death has possessed Haiba to gain access to the world of the living.]] Imagine how frightening that would be...
52	** The moment when Death finally unveils himself to the cubs in all his nightmarish glory.
53	** Death's murder of [[spoiler: Nala and the Pride Landers.]]
54	** Chaos attempting to crush Simba and Haiba.

60	* In ''Drought'', [[spoiler: Simba wakes up underwater before being "rescued" by Maji.]]
61	** The sight of her [[spoiler: dried-up victims]] is a disturbing moment.
62	* In ''Dig It'', [[spoiler: Maana is dragged into a dark pit by the vengeful skeletons of cubs at the camp. He certainly deserved it, though.]]
63	* The titular character in ''The Interceptor'' is quite nightmarish in this initial appearance, as is [[spoiler: the scene where Simba's "dark side" first intrudes on him.]] Not to mention Kazi's claim that it takes two or three days to die while being digested by The Interceptor...
64	* The opening scene in ''Shocker's Revenge'' is quite nightmarish, as it depicts a lioness named Elsa running through a fierce thunderstorm [[spoiler: before Shocker appears and kills her]].
65	* Quite a few moments from ''The Blood Line'':
66	** Cub Sarafina in the fog, listening as Vitani cackles, "She doesn't know! She doesn't know!" over and over again.
67	** [[spoiler: Muerto's death]] at Vitani's fangs.
68	** Father's enigmatic nature, combined with the fact that he's six million years old, is disturbing enough.
69	** Nala's first encounter with the Family of Blood.
70	** [[spoiler: Sarafina attempting to kill Nala as a vampire.]]
71	** [[spoiler: The Family of Blood melting away to bones and organs.]]
72	* In ''Changes'', [[spoiler: the dark voice in Simba's head turns out to be Froggy, who had burrowed his way into the cub's head and manipulated his mind for quite some time.]]
73	** Nala's glowing red eyes might count as well.

75	** [[spoiler: Hago's murder of the Mungu Pride, complete with hanging their skulls from the trees.]]
76	** Hago's death, as he burns into a skeleton. The scream at the end of [[https://soundcloud.com/anonymous13-b/tamas-trouble-hago-lines-third this recording]] only adds to it.]]
77	* The story ''Survival'' has more than it's fair share of nightmarish moments:

79	** [[Main/NothingIsScarier The cubs have to walk through fog, with monsters hiding in the darkness, completely unseen.]]
80	** [[spoiler: The discovery of Damu's corpse, dangling from a tree, covered in blood, with his guts on the ground.]]

83	** The scene with the [[Film/TheEvilDead1981 Weeds of Wrath]].
84	** [[spoiler: Binamu is impaled when a strong wind blows a twig into her stomach.]]
85	* Quite a few things from ''Rebirth'':
86	** The sheer concept of Scar, of all villains, being invincible.
87	** Shocker's eyes being described as looking dead on the inside.
88	** Shocker's story about the "Taka" name.
89	** Scar's resurrection, followed by him walking out of the red mists, cackling evilly.
90	** "My name is Scar. You will learn to fear it." Oh, we already do...
91	** Scar attacking Haiba.
92	** Haiba's condition at the bottom of the cliff.

109	** [[spoiler: The creatures eating Aibu]].

112	** [[spoiler: The creatures from ''The Chase'' returning]].
113	** [[spoiler: Nala, Haiba and Sarafina attempting to kill Simba]].

118	* A couple things in ''The Evil Serpent'':
119	** Nyoka may be an awesome villain, but there's no denying he's just a tad creepy.
120	** The discovery of [[spoiler: Tojo]]'s corpse: "A body was lying on the ground in front of them. Its eyes had been gouged out, just one of them hanging limply from a socket by a thin line of muscle and sinew. Chunks of flesh were missing from the gory corpse, most likely pecked away by hungry buzzards. The foul odour of blood and rotting flesh invaded their nostrils. It wasn't until they saw [[spoiler: the blood-stained golden staff sticking out of its chest]] that they realized who it was."
121	** [[spoiler: Simba impaling Nyoka with a stick]].
122	* Several things in ''The Lost World'':
