* Alluding to Music/{{Nirvana}}'s "Endless, Nameless" from ''Music/{{Nevermind}}'', ''Music/OffTheDeepEnd'' has a very jarring hidden track named "Bite Me", designed to scare listeners into ejecting the CD if they forgot to. Needless to say, with loud music and Al screaming at top of his lungs, it works ''pretty well.'' Basically what happens if you take all punk and metal influence from {{Grindcore}}, but keep its aggressive tempo and heaviness.

* "Christmas at Ground Zero". The last lines say it all:

** [[LastNoteNightmare It also ends with an air raid siren]].
** Also, "The Night Santa Went Crazy" (though more the lyrics [[LyricalDissonance while not being sung]]).
* The "Foil" video includes a very quick FreezeFrameBonus shot of Al covered in blood, seemingly screaming in pain. In fact there's [[https://i.ibb.co/D4wHmH5/gory-al-1.png actually two]] in [[https://i.ibb.co/1vK6BkD/gory-al-2.png very quick]] succession, and they're in motion and not photos [[note]]It happens when Weird Al sings "...Be aware..." as we cut to him singing close-up. One might also see this as a StealthPun... a literal "UsefulNotes/AlGore".[[/note]]. This is during the verse that mocks {{Conspiracy Theorist}}s, so a little mock-SubliminalSeduction makes sense in that context, but it's still a bit unsettling.
** This may also be a reference to Invader Zim's infamous [[https://zim.fandom.com/wiki/Bloody_GIR Bloody Gir]] easter egg.
** The faces Al makes in this video are especially unnerving. Considering Al is known for his generally happy personality and goofy smile, watching him turn into a creepy conspiracy theorist is the wrong kind of weird.
** What's more disturbing is that, in the video, Al turns out to have been ProperlyParanoid the whole time; after Al gets drugged and taken away by TheMenInBlack, the producer of the show peels off his mask to reveal himself as an alien reptile. "There's always someone that's watching you" indeed.

** Al as the handyman himself is quite unnerving in general because of how much he obsesses over his profession and how highly he thinks of himself. He's basically a narcissist who won't take no for an answer, and shows that he'll wreck your house himself just so you'll have to hire him.
* "Nature Trail to Hell" starts out with a just a graphic description of what's in the movie. Then you come to the part where the bridge wraps up and, you hear [[CarefulWithThatAxe an axe swinging and Al screaming bloody murder]].
** The premise of the movie described involves the brutal murder of ''small children'' (in this case, a Cub Scout troop).
* "Everything You Know Is Wrong" has some unnerving imagery described in the lyrics, but the basic premise could probably be the creepiest part when you think about it, since it consists of the protagonist constantly having people scream in his face that everything he has ever known is wrong.

* "Melanie" starts off creepy (the narrator had bought a telescope to stargaze, but ended up using it to watch a woman in the building across the street while she showered), gets creepier (he shaves her cat's fur into a mohawk for some reason), constantly phones her (she ignores his calls), gets even ''creepier'' (he asks if she's "too dumb" to understand his devotion and has to rummage through her trash to find things out), and when she remains unmoved by his having "Melanie" tattooed on his forehead, finally ends with him committing suicide by jumping off the floor above her apartment.
** And even ''that'' doesn't end the stalking...

* Just about any music video where Al acts [[OutOfCharacterMoment mean]] can be pretty intense. Special mention goes for his videos for "Jurassic Park" and '''ESPECIALLY''' "I'll Sue Ya".

* The video for "Bedrock Anthem" is a clear parody of "Give It Away" by the Music/RedHotChiliPeppers. It's mostly lighthearted until you see that there are a few closeups of Al's mouth where there are [[Main/MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily monsterous teeth]].

* "Do I Creep You Out?" is scary enough as a song on its own as it's about a StalkerWithACrush telling the woman about all the disturbing things he does without her knowledge. The music video is even scarier as we see that the woman Al is following is clearly much younger than him and we actually see him doing all the acts he talks about in the songs. Probably the most frightening part is when we see that he has a StalkerShrine to her in his apartment and has also mapped out the route from her home all the way to where she works. And let's not forget the creepy SlasherSmile Al does before shoving her fingers in his mouth. The UncannyValley character designs do not help in the slightest.
