Nightmare Fuel / My Chemical Romance

Go To

  • Gerard's really rather good at channelling this on stage, being fond of pulling deranged facial expressions and seeming potentially Ax-Crazy before looping back into just Crazy Is Cool or even badass. Song-wise, "Mama" and "Bury Me in Black" are a few that could qualify.

  • The video for Famous Last Words. The original, "leaked" version is just as bad.

  • "Sleep" has an overall eerie sound with its distorted recording of a man describing his night terrors and its odd chords that never sound quite resolved, and gets even more chilling near the climax of the song with Gerard screaming, "WAKE UP! WAKE UP!"

  • A lot of the work Frank Iero has done outside of My Chemical Romance qualifies:
    • "Trying To Escape The Inevitable" by Pencey Prep (Frank's first band before joining MCR) features a rather frightening outro where Frank begins screaming over and over with each scream being replayed after he does it.
    • The last minute of the video for "Weighted". Just...Jesus.
    • The video for "Joyriding" where blood begins flying out of Frank and his backing band.
    • Basically the entire Nothing Above, Nothing Below album. The opening is particularly chilling in how quiet Frank is when he's saying this line over and over:
      My love and my hate for you are infinite
      My love and my hate for you are infinite
      My love and my hate for you are infinite...
