History NightmareFuel / Gorillaz

* Seeing Robo!Noodle all hooked up by wires in ''Plastic Beach'' was unnerving as well, but it's less unnerving than the art on the CD sleeve depicting her in the same situation... hunched over with a dark grin.

* Also in Plastic Beach, for your enjoyment, Sarcasmo.
* The way 2D turns around in "Feel Good Inc.", jerkily twisting his body around until his head is on completely backwards before he finally turns it too.

** The narration is done by Creator/DennisHopper, and he sounds ''a lot'' like [[BlueVelvet Frank Booth]] at points.

* "Feel Good Inc." is a rich, stylish song with a vivid nonconformist message, but its video creeps into FridgeHorror territory the more you think about it. How long have the people been trapped in the tower? Apparently long enough to facilitate military helicopters circling the building so no one will escape. And then there's 2D's helpless, troubled demeanor, which falls somewhere between [[NightmareFuel eerie]] and [[TearJerker heartbreaking.]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Not to mention]] [[FanDisservice Murdoc's persistent gyrating.]]

* ''Plastic Beach'', a giant heap of trash in the middle of the ocean? [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch Yeah, the writers weren't making that up. And the real one is the size of Texas.]] Still, "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" [[UnusualEuphemism makes for an awesome swear]].

* And one last thing. The intro for Demon Days. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgzcpK9uWqs Oh god.]]

** The melody is also sampled from Dawn of the Dead. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVcWaGa7iCI The original,]] makes you feel like you are on the edge of insanity.

** The song itself is [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming not at all scary]]--except for the ending. By the end of the song, you've been fully immersed in the ambiance of the song's feel-good nature, then an ominous bell appears out of nowhere and completely shatters that immersion in the most eerie and chilling way imaginable.

* Several moments in the "On Melancholy Hill" video fall under this � [[spoiler:Robo!]]Noodle puking up a (still alive) octopus frightens even those in canon (namely 2D) and, while the manatee-napping bit is more of a TearJerker than anything else, the way that Boogieman is sort of... massaging the poor thing can definitely give you the jibblies.

* Try listening to the first part of "M1A1" when driving alone late at night and without feeling a little bit frightened. "Hello? Is anyone there?" repeated as you travel down the dark, desolate road echoes the [[Film/DayoftheDead movie]] that sound bite is from...

** Or it could even be about using up so much oil and how we've wasted it at this point.

* The fact that [[TruthInTelevision there really is]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch a Plastic Beach]]. [[{{Squick}} Ewwwwww]].

* The [[http://i878.photobucket.com/albums/ab346/SnowNerd/72069991.jpg inside]] of Robo!Noodle.

* The entire video for ''Clint Eastwood'' is spooky, what with the zombie gorillas and Del the rapping ghost, but the creepiest part for this troper is right at the beginning when Murdoc gives a really [[EvilLaugh evil sounding laugh]] and fading to a close up of his face wearing a really sinister expression.

* 2-D's black eyes. One who begins to listen/watch the Gorillaz may wonder why they look like that, and soon shudder at the reason for it. Though despite his creepy appearance, in terms of personality he's harmless and kind of adorable in his own, stupid way. Murdoc on the other hand...

* The "Rock It" video doesn't just border on it.
** NightmareRetardant: The drums are sampled from "[[Music/MenWithoutHats Safety Dance]]".

* 2-D's literally black eyes. One who begins to listen/watch the Gorillaz may wonder why they look like that, and soon shudder at the reason for it.

* The "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVm8KvF32qk Superfast Jellyfish]]" video is inexplicably terrifying.

* The [[LetsMeetTheMeat Superfast Jellyfish]] are way too happy for things that have just been microwaved and are in the process of being eaten. Their movements are pure UncannyValley as well; somehow the flopping is reminiscent of hanging victims.
