History NightmareFuel / TwistedMetal

** Minion doesn't have a story in this game, but looking at his [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/twistedmetal/images/c/c8/Screen_Shot_2021-04-25_at_11.30.57_AM.png/revision/latest?cb=20210425183324 close-up image]] will probably give you nightmares on its own. (especially when you realize that the thing he's using as a mask is literally the mutilated head of a cow.) Maybe it's better that he didn't get a story after all.

* Captain Rodgers in the second game is ghastly in appearance. Due to being severely elderly he has tons of wrinkles, pale blue skin, and has an eerie drooped face with [[DullEyesOfUnhappiness dull starring eyes]]. He essentially looks like a living corpse.

** No Face. [[NightmareFace Just]] [[MouthStitchedShut No Face]]. His backstory involves him losing a boxing match, and because of this the facial doctor that works on him afterwards disfigures his face because No Face made him lose money on the match. As his reward for winning Calypso's contest, [[spoiler: No Face gets the chance to murder said doctor, by '''[[IronicDeath punching him in the face]] [[NoKillLikeOverKill with a scalpel and knife covered boxing glove]]'''.]]

** Ken Master's wish is to have his face be seen all over the Earth so he can be world famous. Calypso complies with this wish, by '''[[BodyHorror literally stretching Ken's face all over the sky and around the Earth for everyone to see]]'''.

** Mr. Grimm's ending involves him begging Calypso to make the people of Earth die faster so he can get more souls. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything The whole scenario is meant to reference drug withdrawal]], since the lack of souls he obtains makes him weaker. Once his wish is granted, everyone on Earth begins to kill each other in an endless war until humanity becomes extinct. Mr. Grimm enjoys the large amount of souls he obtains from this war, but sadly since humanity is extinct, there are no more souls to gain, and like any other druggie, [[HorrorHunger Mr. Grimm hungers for another fix...]]

** [[ThoseTwoGuys Mike and Stu's]] ending, mainly the climax of it. Though the ending in general also counts as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}, the fact that we are given a still shot of the duo face-first against the pavement with a blood puddle forming is a bit unsettling.
** Captain Rodger's ending has him wishing he had the body of a young man again, being sick of his elderly appearance. Calypso, [[JerkassGenie being the cheep bastard that he is]], grants his wish according to these words. Rodgers is given the body of a young man like he wished for, ''but his head remains the same''.

* Speaking of the second game, the encounter with Dark Tooth can be pretty scary for first-time players. Since you fight him in the Honk Kong stage, which is basically a maze of buildings, you don't see him at first so you go looking for him to finish the game... and then, if you turn around a corner or wait to ambush him, you see a MASSIVE (and really detailed) black version of Sweet Tooth's ice cream truck complete with a BIG flaming clown head moving around (which is fully modeled as opposed to regular Sweet Toot's 2D sprite). The sheer unexpected PRESENCE it has is enough to make anyone jump.

** Charlie Kane. First of all, he's a reanimated corpse. No, not a zombie; he's very much dead, but his body is being controlled by [[TheKidWithTheRemoteControl his 8-year-old savant son]]. This is disturbing enough on its own, but then the game presents you with very UncannyValley-laden close-ups of Charlie's corpse, [[BoomHeadshot complete with a stained hole where his brains were shot out]], when you look at his character info, as well as in every single loading screen. It's all incredibly unsettling.

** Mr. Grimm in this game is also quite disturbing, even taking into account that he was essentially TheGrimReaper in the previous games. In ''Black'', Grimm is a Vietnam veteran who, upon getting captured by Vietcong, is forced to eat his fellow soldier and friend Benny to avoid starvation as a form of torture by the capturers. He even sews his comrades skull to his own face as a helmet. Wanting revenge for the man who ruined his life, he fights through Calypso's contest to gain his reward. Once he wins, [[spoiler: he is given the chance to eat his commanding advisor from the war. Afterwards, Grimm admits overtime he has ''gained a strange craving for human flesh'']].
