* [[spoiler: Rei Asaka]]'s apartment, which only has mirrors and {{Creepy Doll}}s aside of two/three furniture pieces. And this is without counting [[spoiler: a certain spot in school, with the knife holes on the walls]]... RoomFullOfCrazy, indeed. Doubles as a TearJerker, considering the circumstances in which we find out about it.
* Also, the scene in which [[spoiler: Fukiko is swimming in a nearby pool and Nanako catches her. Fukiko invites her to take a dive, and it's even a little cute... ''and then she gets Nanako's feet stuck under a log and almost downs her''.]] Of course [[spoiler: she only intended to scare Nanako off, and gets her out in her arms when the poor girl is about to pass out]], but it was still SO CREEPY.

** Rei was already making horrible, half-dead faces by the first episode. After Fukiko tosses an umbella at her and refuses to give her a ride, she takes some pílls and looks like a ghost while doing so.

* Fukiko herself. When we first meet her, Fukiko seems like the perfect young lady that every other girl at the Seiran Academy wants to be: gorgeous and well dressed, admired by all for her composure, grace, fine manners, intelligence and leadership skills. In reality, she's an obsessive, petty, scheming, self-centered and sadistic bully who likes to emotionally and physically torture her younger sister, and who has no qualms about

While first seeing nothing, we then see a shot of Rei ''appearing out of nowhere'', her silhouette pressed against the window and looking utterly terrifying.

* While comparatively mild, after Nanako runs out of her birthday party, Mariko grows depressed and refuses to eat anything. Kaoru notices and tries to cheer her up, but Mariko angrily rejects her, saying [[BerserkButton "What good is health? Who cares about health!"]]. The usually level-headed Kaoru becomes so infuriated that she lifts her into the air, shaking her and screaming into her face.

* Nanako has a nightmare in which Fukiko picks up the kenzan [[{{Fingore}} she dropped onto Rei's hand]] and ''maims her with it''. [[GoryDiscretionShot We're never shown explicitely what she does]], but Nanako does give a chilling scream, [[EyeScream clutching at her eyes]].

** The ''kenzan'' deal is pretty scary in itself in the anime, due to the effective placement of the {{Pastel Chalked Freeze Frame}}s and the borderline PsychologicalHorror handling. Nanako's picture above is her horrified reaction to it.

For a very melodramatic shoujo originally from TheSeventies, the animated version of ''Dear Brother'' ([[TheNineties from 1991]]) gives some REALLY creepy scenes.
