History NightmareFuel / BennettTheSage

* The entity/organization which delivers the ''Franchise/JojosBizarreAdventure'' discs to Sage is unnerving in its simplicity. Its approach is heralded by a low rumbling sound effect, but the packages it brings silently pop in and out of existence. That, combined with the polite but firm note which the "advocates" write to Sage, gives the whole scene a sinister feel even though nothing outwardly malicious is happening.

[[caption-width-right:350:'''''WHICH EYE!?''''']]
----

* When Bennett's eyes are replaced by mouths in the ''Anime/ApocalypseZero'' review, similar to [[ComicBook/TheSandman the Corthinian's]].
** And then the mouths begin chanting "[[BlackSpeech Cthulhu]] [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos r'lyeh]] [[Creator/HPLovecraft wgah'nagl]] [[SummoningRitual fhtagn!]]"

** Actually, just most of ''Anime/ApocalypseZero''. That show is damn near an exercise in SurrealHorror.
* In the ''Manga/ViolenceJack'' review, Bennett and Mark the Engineer decide to try doing the review as if Bennett is slowly going insane. Knowing that this is just an attempt doesn't make it any less creepy, especially when the video cuts to Bennett cutting into a doll... which bleeds.

* In the ''Ninja Resurrection'' review, Bennett starts getting nosebleeds - ala ''VideoGame/BioshockInfinite'' - which get more and more severe as the review goes on while a [[HellisThatNoise high-pitched whine]] is heard. Then he starts bleeding out his mouth...
* Then there's the ''Sins of the Sisters'' review, with {{Jump Scare}}s and {{Eye Scream}}s galore...

* In the Speed Racer review, NC has not only kidnapped Sage, but has a bit of a twitchy eye as well. He also mentions casually smothering Malcolm with chloroform when he gets mouthy.

* Most of "Top Ten Most WTF Music Videos."
* His description of [[FridgeHorror how it would feel to be Ishtar when she first woke in Hibiki's apartment]] in ''MacrossII'' is this, especially when he starts emphasizing the sexual assault undertones.
* At the end of his DevilMan review, he holds up an uncut copy of ViolenceJack before deciding not to review it, presumably because of too much Gorn and Squick. He is shown throwing the videotape off of a bridge in disgust, but there's still about a minute or so left in the video...[[spoiler: we are then treated to footage of [[SealedEvilInACan a small chest]] in a dark room prying itself open, glowing red light shining through the cracks while horrible screams are heard in the background. The chest opens and the words "VIOLENCE IS COMING" in red, bloody font appear on the screen]]. Perhaps he may end up reviewing it after all...
** And later we find out that {{Marzgurl}} apparently watched it... and the results ain't pretty...

* In the ''Violence Jack'' review, Bennett and Mark the Engineer decide to try doing the review as if Bennett's slowly going insane. Knowing that this is just an attempt doesn't make it any less creepy, especially when the video cuts to Bennett cutting into a doll… which bleeds.

* In the Love Hina Spring Movie, Bennet makes a comment about subs vs dubs before just sitting there for a few minutes.... ''and then suddenly the screen has a red tint and Sage is leaning in towards the camera with scary eyes and fangs''. '''Jesus'''... It's worse when you're not expecting it, though the stinger softens the blow a bit...

** Bennett's hallucination of Mark, who speaks like he's possessed, and his later hallucination of his friend Gabe.
