* In “Eclipse” Elise, is already terrifying as a succubus-like demon. After her defeat at the end of the episode, her eyes are shown glowing from the water where she supposedly perished, hinting that she isn’t gone for good. It comes somewhat as a tearjerker for the man helping Jonny and Jessie, as he believes he has avenged his late sister by seemingly destroying the demon.

''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures'' had its share of disturbing material, including extensive use of FamilyUnfriendlyViolence and [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath death]], which was no less disturbing because of all the {{Gory Discretion Shot}}s.

* In "DNA Doomsday", the family was visiting a military base whose pride and joy was an organic, brain-like computer its scientists were working on. It basically looked like a giant blob of brain mass in a glass tube. At some point, the computer gains a malicious sentience, breaks free from its containment, and starts terrorizing the base. One particularly disturbing scene is the soldiers talking to the General over walkie-talkies, and we find out it's the blob barking orders by mimicking the General's voice. It does this by growing the General's head, hand ''and a throbbing pair of lungs and heart'' out of its writhing mass.
* Another one involves the group visiting a castle to check out paranormal activity. Boy howdy, they get more than they bargain for, as the castle literally sucks Hadji and Race into another dimension and tries to turn 'em into monsters (you can clearly see it when they find Hadji in Quest World). What's more is the story behind it being a black pearl and the final battle with a grotesque giant head, all that was left of the individual who was corrupted by it.
** What, no love for the two "scientists" who get crushed to death by a descending ceiling?
* Oh, and let's not forget "Undersea Urgency", which takes place in an UnderwaterCity. The construction ends up waking some very deadly creatures who go rampaging all over the sea and killing scientists. What is particularly disturbing is the ending, as the heroes and remaining staff find a sub and are on the verge of escape after briefly knocking out a few of the creatures who had them cornered. The head scientist, though, persists in trying to study them and want to take one of them along. The creature however wakes up just as he is trying to pick it up and...well, you can imagine. It is not shown of course (being a kid's show) but the looks on the heroes' faces as it happens before they escape pretty much tells the story.
** [[ItGotWorse To make matters worse]] the creatures weren't contained and are now on the loose across the Oceans.
* How about the one where Jessie gets brainwashed by Jeremiah Surd to try to take out the Quest team? Jonny and Dr. Quest end up going into her mind to break Surd's hold on her. When in there and when they find Jessie's subconscious, Surd has her believing that she's solving all the problems in the world and he separates the father and son, placing them in their worst nightmares. For Jonny, it's having his father berate him for not being as smart as Jessie. For Dr. Quest, it's being in a graveyard with the heads of Johnny, Jessie, Race, and Hadji coming out of tombstones and Johnny telling his father that he let them down, "just like he let down (Johnny's) mother". What's even worse is what Jessie does to Surd in the end: [[spoiler:Surd, who is wheel-chair bound, had used Questworld to be able to walk and move again. Jessie, on learning that he had tried to make her kill her dad, stripped Surd of his ability to move in Questworld forever, leaving him vulnerable in both worlds. Her reasoning? "No one [[MindControl takes control of my mind]]. Nobody." OUCH!]]
* How about the episode with the old ship whose crew and passenger inexplicably disappeared in a green mist? If my memory serves correctly, it's never revealed what actually happened.
* It's hard to find an episode of this show without Nightmare Fuel in it. Man bit by so many cobras that his body starts to decompose? "Bloodlines". A virus that turns people into mummies that still retain some semblance of life? "The Mummies of Malengue". Other episodes featured very gory deaths for various villains (and side characters). Offscreen, of course, but we hear them scream.
* To this day, this Troper is terrified of episode 22. Jonny makes an off-hand comment about it looking like the girl was buried alive. It gave me claustrophobia,and, well, a fear of being buried alive.
* "Nuclear Netherworld" (man, they sure loved their [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal alliterative titles]], didn't they?) ends with the BigBad getting HoistByHisOwnPetard. He was making nuclear materials to sell on the black market. At the end, he gets exposed to a high dosage of radiation from those same materials and HAZMAT is wheeling him away looking sickly and commenting that it'll be over quick for him. A very brutal aversion of ILoveNuclearPower indeed.
* All of the episodes with ghosts in them. Even when the ghosts were actually good guys out for revenge against one specific villain, they still managed to be really creepy.
