*Also it's implied that the souls inside the philosopher's stone suffer from an incredible pain, this is worst once you consider that the whole Amestris was turned into a philosopher stone by some time.
**how much would have suffered the souls inside of Father during more than 400 years.

* Alois is often seen abusing poor Hannah the maid during the series. This becomes a little more of a Fridge Tear Jerker (depending on how sappy you are) when you realize that [[spoiler:the whole time this abuse is happening, Luka- Alois/Jim's beloved little brother- is living inside Hannah as a soul. Hannah says that Luka is "sleeping", but there can still be questioning on how aware Luka is of what's happening.]]
* Towards the end of the Circus Arc, we meet Baron Kelvin. Maybe he's not as Fridge Horror as he could be, but he's still pretty crazy. [[spoiler:After meeting Ciel one time, he basically falls in insane love/obsession mode, leaves his wife, surrounds himself with beauty, and even tries to make himself more beautiful in some crack surgery. All to be worthy of Ciel. And the man has no shame in admitting it to said young master, in the middle of a room replicating that of which Ciel was held captive in by a cult, likely subjected to rape and other unspeakable tortures.]]

* Finny's vague past as a whole. [[spoiler:Scientific experimentation back then was horrible enough on animals. Now imagine it being done to a cute, innocent child. And if anyone's familiar with some of the newer SyFi movies with the same theme of experimentation, there are other terrible tests involved...]]
* In episode 8, [[spoiler:after Claude so cruelly kills Alois and leaves his body in the woods, a rather tattered and beaten Hannah- whom we just learned is a demon- emerges from the woods, and lays over Alois' body. She calls him her master affectionately, and puts her lips to his eyes, and glowing occurs. At first, many fans believed her to be apologizing to him or mourning, bringing him back to life, or turning him into a demon. Not so. She ate his eye, and kept it in her throat until episode 11. She uses it to scare the hell out of Ciel, allowing Alois' soul to take over. And then, it replaces the eye that Alois gouged out of her. Lovely.]]

* In ''MahouSenseiNegima'', Evangeline was 10 when she turned into a vampire and stopped aging. Her [[TheVamp vamp tendencies]], which usually get played for laughs, get a lot more disturbing once you realize she never hit puberty. With all that she's seen in her five hundred years, she learned and knows about sex, but she probably never understood it.

* ''KarakuridoujiUltimo'': Yamato is given an option to not get Ultimo and become his master. If he does this, Ultimo would go back in time and find someone else. It could be assumed that Yamato was only reincarnated because he was Ultimo's master. So wouldn't that mean if he declined teaming up with Ultimo, he woldn't be reincarnated? Present day Yamato may never have existed, with everyone else's lives going on without him. Yikes.
** Wouldn't that also mean that others in the past wouldn't get reincarnated too? Such as Rune, Sayama... wow.
*** And their friends so far aren't reincarnations. They would have replacement friends and not even know it. Same with Yamato's mother. (and Rune and Sayama's parents for that matter.) She would have a repalcement for her son and not be any the wiser.
** We see Ultimo and Vice in test tubes in the prologue. Why would robots need to be in preserving liquid? They should be entirely metal with synthetic materials. Even if it were real hair, it probably wouldn't need to be kept in liquid, and it would be more likely he would use fake hair. So the question remains, did Dustan use human skin for the doji? And don't forget that the doji are children, and a general grown man's skin isn't like a child's. Let's pray that this is just a theory.
** The entire concept of Dunstan using a human soul is pretty scary. I mean he would have had to get it from someone right? It's not like he could just make it. He may have ripped out someone's soul, or maybe even more, for an experiment.

* ''KatekyoHitmanReborn'': Reborn's early interactions with Lambo. Sure, we know how annoying Lambo is, about all that "rivalry" thing and that he's not gonna be killed even by grenades, but once we realize it's an adult hitman beating the living crap out of 5-year old kid...

** *** It was already explicitly shown during one of the RecapEpisode which summarizes the war and shows a brief result of the Neutron Jammers effects on Earths cities.cities.
*** True, but it still qualifies for this trope, as the one disturbing image (a darkened city, windows smashed from looting, a corpse or two on the ground and streets crowded with people huddling around garbage can fires) goes by rather quickly, and most of the time, characters go around extolling the virtues of the N-Jammers and completely ignoring their negative effects.

**** Actually, [[spoiler: the dam killing was done by Takano, so it wouldn't of happened. You see people alive after everyone (including Rika) in Hinamizawa is killed more than once, like Rena at the beginning of Kai (Thus, no queen carrier exists). These two facts debunk all above theories about the slaughter that might happen. If Takano's parents lived things would've ended up more like the Dice-Killing Arc in Rei.]] What I find scary is that [[spoiler: everything was caused by Lambdadelta and Bernkastel. which means despite all the little actions the characters took that could change in different universes, it was still all unavoidable because they didn't have control in what they were doing.]] And Onikakushi-hen is much, much more scary when you realize that [[spoiler: Keiichi hallucinated everything scary about Mion and Rena.]] It makes you realize just how freaky Hinamizawa Syndrome is.

** The general concept of the series is in itself Fridge Horror. Just think about it. These people are practically immortal, involved in every war their people ever fight - ''on the battlefield''. How many people must they have seen die? How many people must they have had to kill? They can't form relationships with humans without getting their hearts broken, they have to fight people they've grown up with, people who've raised them, and their own siblings. And they have to live with the memories of the greatest tragedies in history. Some of this has been touched on in cannon, but since this is mostly a comedy series , it's left to the imagination just how much ''every single character'' must be suffering inside.
