** What's particularly scary about Herzog's reaction to the audio is the very quiet way he says, "Can you turn it off," when he's finally had enough. There's something artificial about his calm that seems to indicate he's trying very hard not to freak out. ''[[EveryoneHasStandards Werner Herzog is freaked out]].'' Eventually you see tears coming from his eyes and his hands trembling from the tape.
*** To make the point clearer for those not in the know about Creator/WernerHerzog... well, we are talking about a man who once during an interview got shot by an unseen sniper and his immediate in the moment response was to disinterestedly say, "What was that?" before resuming the interview in a different location and shrugging off the interviewers concerns by saying "It was not a significant bullet." Among Herzog fans, this incident is considered ''the tip of the iceberg'' among his antics and that's even putting aside the visceral insanity of the production of [[Film/AguirreTheWrathOfGod some of]] [[Film/{{Fitzcarraldo}} his films]]. And yet, this CrazyIsCool man who [[MadeOfIron willingly jumped into a cactus patch on a bet]] and threatened Creator/KlausKinski with [[NervesOfSteel a murder/suicide if he walked off the set]] of ''Aguirre'' was [[NotSoStoic so visibly shaken by the audio record]] that he sternly and calmly advised/insisted that the tape be ''destroyed''.

*** Not only he asks Palovak to turn the recording off, he asks her to [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow never, ever listen to it, and to destroy it as soon as possible.]] She hasn't destroyed it, and to this day, no one else has listened to the recording.
*** There's a reenactment audio on [=YouTube=] that mimics what Herzog might have listened to, and the comments say it gives them chills, especially the god-awful screams. Remember, this is a ''reenactment audio'', not the one Herzog heard. Yeah, [[TheseAreThingsManwasNotMeantToKnow we're better off not knowing the real recordings...]]

** And it's not just that they were eaten by a bear. The audio itself is six minutes long, during which Treadwell ''is alive and conscious'' while being mauled. The attack was neither quick nor painless - he was literally EatenAlive. In pieces. Treadwell's girlfriend tried to fight the bear off but failed, powerless to stop the bear from dragging Treadwell into the woods, and left alone by herself before the bear came back for her. Here's Website/TheOtherWiki's description of what was ''left'' of them ('''NSFW/NSFL'''): "The mangled remains of Treadwell and Huguenard were discovered quickly upon investigation. Treadwell's disfigured head, partial spine, and right forearm and hand, with his wrist watch still on, were recovered a short distance from the camp. Huguenard's partial remains were found next to the torn and collapsed tents, partially buried in a mound of twigs and dirt." It's the most horrific sort of death imaginable.
