History NightmareFuel / Granny

* The fact that you're in a creepy [[TheAllegedHouse Alleged House]] does not help, along with the haunting ambience music.

** In the remake, she's even more terrifying, as now she has a perpetual SlasherSmile, BlackEyesOfEvil, and makes eerie, inhuman-sounding creaking noises while she walks. And don't get us started on [[SensoryAbuse the new jumpscare]].

* [[TheBigBad Granny]] herself is this. She is a HumanoidAbomination resembling a zombie who enjoys abducting lost people, locking them up in her house for a few days (and [[CrazyPrepared doing whatever]] to keep them within there), and then finally killing them in [[CruelAndUnusualDeath a cruelly twisted fashion]] and [[ImAHumanitarian eating their remains]]. She [[SuperSenses hears every sound you make]] and leaves {{Bear Trap}}s in your path, [[ParanoiaFuel keeping you on your tippy toes]]. You can always try to kill her, [[NighInvulnerability but she'll get up back again.]]

* [[TheBigBad Granny]] herself is this. She is a HumanoidAbomination resembling a zombie who enjoys abducting lost people, locking them up in her house for a few days (and [[CrazyPrepared doing whatever to can]] to keep them within there), and then finally killing them in [[CruelAndUnusualDeath a cruelly twisted fashion]] and [[ImAHumanitarian eating their remains]]. She [[SuperSenses hears every sound you make]] and leaves {{Bear Trap}}s in your path, [[ParanoiaFuel keeping you on your tippy toes]]. You can always try to kill her, [[NighInvulnerability but she'll get up back again.]]

* While Granny's [[YouDirtyRat rats]] and [[CreepyCrows crow]] aren't that scary, her GiantSpider [[SpidersAreScary should]]. Unlike the other pets, which only stun you and alert Granny, the spider can knock you out, adding in more ParanoiaFuel. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/granny/images/1/11/Newspider.png/revision/latest?cb=20181212023446 Its grotesque brown recluse/huntsman spider look]], skinny legs, and [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] are not pretty, though [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/granny/images/1/13/1.5.png/revision/latest?cb=20181130120924&format=original its previous tarantula look]] happens to be adorable.
* Around the house, you can find signs of Granny's ''previous captive''. Blood splatters abound and few {{Bloody Handprint}}s hinting their struggle with Granny, for starters. [[ApocalypticLog Messages]], "HELP", "Leave this house", "FIVE DAYS", and 5 tally marks, from them are left, the first two [[CouldntFindAPen being written in blood]]. And their final note, also written in blood?

* As an EasterEgg, the ghost of Slendrina's Mother can be found [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/granny/images/4/4a/Screenshot_20180823-122534.png/revision/latest?cb=20180823123939&format=original chained to the wall in front of a book pedestal]], which can be freaky.
* If you don't find the game to be nightmare-inducing, then try and turn on the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin appropriately-titled]] [[AdjustableCensorship Nightmare option]]. The house looks like it has been [[{{Gorn}} flooded with gallons and liters of blood]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvn7LI-ma9w the ambience amps up the horror]], Granny takes on a rotten zombie appearance, and the bear traps look organic for once, screech, and are implied to be alive. PsychoStrings play when Granny is chasing you and you are thrown in a ScareChord when she hits you. Disturbing.

''Granny: Chapter Two'' doesn't lower on the nightmare fuel also:
* You can double the trouble by adding in another enemy: Grandpa. Fortunately, Grandpa cannot hear well (only responding to certain noises), but he is much stronger than Granny.

* The Sewer Monster, an [[TentacledTerror octopus]]-like AnimalisticAbomination. With strangely only three tentacles, a lamprey-like mouth, and a big {{Cyclops}} eye in the middle, it resembles a Lovecraftian monster. Wade into the sewer unluckily and it will be happy to eat you. Granny and Grandpa will also feed you to the Sewer Monster if you waste your 5 days.
* The Child of Slendrina, an EnfantTerrible HumanoidAbomination whose body uncannily resembles that of a spider and likes to eat meat, especially '''[[ImAHumanitarian YOU]]'''. If you use your 5 days, Granny and Grandpa [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-NU5obcxt4 will serve you to the Child]].

* Notice the electrical sparks blocking the front door? Well, Granny and Grandpa [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD2y18QvUZ4&feature=youtu.be&t=302 can trap you inside the door's cage and]] [[HighVoltageDeath electrocute you.]] Not pretty.

** Suddenly being turned to Granny or [[HopeSpot her opening the closet and chest you're in]] and whacked by her will [[JumpScare make you jump out of your seat]]. Hiding under the bed in her sight and then her getting down to the floor and lunging at you [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/granny/images/c/ca/FewHalfHawaiianmonkseal-max-1mb.gif/revision/latest?cb=20180708190251 isn't better]], complete with a loud ScareChord and scream.

* Slendrina's Baby, an EnfantTerrible HumanoidAbomination whose body resembles that of a spider and likes to eat meat, especially '''[[ImAHumanitarian YOU]]'''. If you use your 5 days, Granny and Grandpa will serve you to the Baby.
