* Nima's eyes fogging up as the ''Troodon'' venom progresses, making her look like something unpleasant from the UncannyValley.

** "You knew about this!? You KNEW? I'll KILL YOU!" Yoder to Dr. Sorkin after finding out about the ''Troodon''.

** To top it off, you find yourself having to deal with the ''Tyrannosaurus'' in the Visitor's Center and there is a moment where it is actually stomping up the stairs after Jess Harding. Again, keep in mind, this is just the first episode.

* Nima's eyes fogging up as the venom progresses, making her look like something unpleasant from the UncannyValley.
* The wreckage of the abandoned Visitor's Center. The most triumphant scene in the film [[MoodWhiplash suddenly]] seems a lot more sinister in hindsight.

* The utility tunnels. The player knows that the unarmed civilians are being followed by Velociraptors using a parallel tunnel, but they don't know until Jess goes off for a quiet smoke and lights up...

** "You knew about this!? You KNEW? I'll KILL YOU!" Billy to Dr. Sorkin after finding out about the Troodon.
* Late in the game (after the puzzle with the blueprints), Billy hears some noises coming from a dark hallway and goes to check it out, suspecting ''Troodon''. He doesn't see [[GlowingEyesOfDoom any glowing eyes]], but still isn't sure. He slowly enters the hallway, creeps up to the darkness, and lights a flare... which reveals a whole pack of ''Troodon'' just inches from him.

** Somehow, the fact that the ''Troodons'' can't stand bright light makes them that much ''more'' terrifying. Even most nocturnal animals today can still ''cope'' with bright light sources. It makes the ''Troodons'' seem more like mythical creatures of the night such as vampires.

* The ''Tylosaurus'', which takes its tactics directly from ''Film/{{Jaws}}''. The ghastly, whale-like sounds it makes are creepy enough, but then you see its pure-black eyes, the permanent snarl on its jaws, the dark coloration of its scales, and how fast it can move despite its size.
* The part during the final ''T. rex'' chase, where Gerry runs into a crate, only to have the ''T. rex'' stick its head in, lift it off the ground, and start flinging it around.

* From the first episode alone, the game starts off with a main character being chased by [[spoiler:new dinosaurs, the ''Troodon'']] in an InMediasRes prologue sequence and we, the players, are only able to see their glowing eyes getting ever closer. The raspy, ghostly, haunting sounds they make are even worse. As the episode switches to the chronological beginning of the story, two characters find themselves being stalked, [[spoiler: and in one's case being eaten]] by a pack of ''Dilophosaurus'', but not before being treated to glimpses of Nedry's corpse. To top it off, you find yourself having to deal with the ''Tyrannosaurus'' in the Visitor's Center and there is a moment where it is actually stomping up the stairs after you. Again, keep in mind, this is just the first episode.
** In the case of Nedry, there's buildup. Seeing the vehicle with its lights still on, your companion calls up to him, but gets no response. As you approach the vehicle, you can hear the sounds of bones crunching and flesh being ripped before you ever open the door. Then when you do open the door, there's a shadowy shape next to the body before it suddenly runs out and scares the crap out of the main character. To top it off, you the player already know what happened here, leading to some uncomfortable DramaticIrony as the characters slowly piece together the events and learn why Nedry never made it to the docks.
** What brief glimpses we ''do'' see of Nedry's corpse aren't very graphic at all, thankfully. [[http://www.sidequesting.com/wp-content/uploads/env_nedrysBody2.jpg This concept art]], on the other hand...
* Many of the death scenes can be particularly unsettling, even the ones that use a GoryDiscretionShot. ''Especially'' those ones. For instance, one of the earliest ways to die involve being spat on by the ''Dilophosaurus''. We are then treated to a first person view of one lunging at the player with jaws wide open.

* The wreckage of the abandoned Visitor's Centre. The most triumphant scene in the film suddenly seems a lot more sinister in hindsight.
* Expect a lot of {{Jump Scare}}s. One of them involves the Visitor Centre at the end of episode one.
* In a game featuring vicious dinosaurs, it is somehow even more disturbing to find corpses of people who were shot to death. Even more so when Yoder notices that they didn't even take cover. Then you discover that they were killed by a soldier going insane with fear and venom, and while investigating the Visitor Centre the building is filled with the sounds of creatures rushing from shadow to shadow.
* The minute the raptors turn up -- in a designated safe haven, no less -- you know you're screwed.
* The utility tunnels. The player knows that the unarmed civilians are being followed by raptors using a parallel tunnel, but they don't know until one goes off for a quiet smoke and lights up...
* [[spoiler: The ''Troodon'']] are so terrifying that most of the other predators [[TheDreaded flee from them]], even the raptors. Yes, those ''raptors'', the ones that terrify virtually everybody else.

** [[spoiler: The ''Troodon'' lay their eggs inside of their victims, while they're still alive. Did we mention that the victim is paralyzed all over while this happens, except for their eyes, which stare at you if you get too close? Gerry's reaction to discovering this fact is entirely appropriate.]]
** "You knew about this!? You KNEW? [[spoiler:I'll KILL YOU!]]"
* Late in the game (after the puzzle with the blueprints), Billy hears some noises coming from a dark hallway and goes to check it out, suspecting [[spoiler: ''Troodon'']]. He doesn't see [[GlowingEyesOfDoom any glowing eyes]], but still isn't sure. He slowly enters the hallway, creeps up to the darkness, and lights a flare... [[spoiler:which reveals a whole pack of ''Troodon'' just inches from him.]]

*** It doesn't help that because of their eyeshine the ''Troodon'' look like they have [[MonochromaticEyes pure blank eyes]], as if they really ''are'' undead creatures.

*** It doesn't help that the glow from the ''Troodon'''s eyes make them look [[MonochromaticEyes white and pupil-less]], as if they really ''are'' undead creatures.

* The [[VideoGame/TheWalkingDead second]] most recent game from TelltaleGames is full of nightmare fuel, and is perhaps the most horror-themed out of any of the Jurassic Park media. Keep in mind, this is the first Telltale-created game where you can actually die, and some of the dinosaur-related deaths are horrific. From [[VideoGame/JurassicParkTheGame the 2011 game]]:
