** In a later incident, Mark, Wade, and Bob are tackling the game on Professional difficulty. Bob is already dead, and Wade and Mark are collecting all the evidence they can. The moment they get the last clue, they book it for the exit. Mark is in the lead, and Wade is being oddly quiet (and he admits to Mark that he's literally too scared to hit "V" to talk in-game), but he's right behind Mark as they head toward the stairs to the first floor. Mark bursts out the front door of the house, sprints up towards the van, turns around... ''and Wade is nowhere to be seen.'' Though it quickly becomes NightmareRetardant when Wade comes out after a few seconds, admitting he was delayed checking a sink off the hallway for dirty water. Mark chews him out in full AngerBornOfWorry mode.

** There's also the tendency for the ghosts to constantly target and terrorize Sean specifically. He's died more often than the other three, dealt with some of the scariest hunt phases in the entire livestream, and is most likely to be alone once activity in the location starts spiking. This is most notable in the second location, where ALL of the ghost's activity targeted Sean alone.

* Mark's playthrough of "Phasmophobia" brings out some surprisingly good scares, despite Mark, Bob, Wade, and Sean usually managing to bring about NightmareRetardant. It speaks to how frightening this game is that these four are often left utterly terrified by the end of every map.

** Mark has a similar incident later on, unwittingly getting left inside by the others while trying to to gather materials to defend against the ghost before it hunts. Just as Mark realizes he's alone. his flashlight starts flashing and the front door slams shut. Mark is helpless to do anything other than plant himself in the corner of the staircase and watch both sides for signs of the ghost. However, the ghost never appears, bringing out full NothingIsScarier vibes. Shortly after in the same investigation, the EMF Detector goes off inside the truck with only Sean present.

** Arguably the worst moment of all comes in the second video, amplified by Lixian's editing to make it look like a scene out of a horror movie. The investigation starts to end on a surprisingly upbeat note after a (relatively) quiet mission that ends with the four all heading back to the van, Mark in the lead, ready to categorize the ghost as a revenant and be on their way... and then Wade shrieks "SEAN!" in a legitimately horrified voice. Mark turns around to see the front door's shut and locked, the lights are flashing on and off all over the house, and Wade and Bob are racing around the front porch trying to open the door. As Sean screams in horror inside the house, Mark bolts for the van to grab the crucifix, snatches it up, and turns back to the house... which has gone totally dark. Sean has stopped screaming. Wade and Bob finally get the door unlocked, Wade yells "The door's open, Sean, the door's open!" but as Bob enters the house, and quietly says "...Sean?..." [[[NothingIsScarier there's no reply at all from the darkness]].

** In the third investigation, Mark discovers fingerprints all over the master bedroom and concludes the ghost is inside. He and Bob discover that the closet doors, which they previously left open, are closed. Mark attempts to open them, only for the door to keep on closing. Then the doors stay open, and Mark hears a croaking sound. He panics and attempts to escape, but the door is locked. Then Bob draws his attention to the center of the room, and Mark sees the ghost standing dead center, framed by shadow. Mark and Bob immediately decide to leave the house.

** The thumbnail for “Earth Shattering Rage!” gives the viewer a clue as to what they’re in for. After losing a significant amount of progress, Mark silently gets up and folds his yellow blanket. Putting it on the back of his chair, he then starts shaking the chair so much you think he’s about to throw it across the room.

** In their first investigation, Mark returns to the van briefly. Wade and Bob are separated. Everything kicks off when Bob complains of being stuck in a room. Suddenly, Mark loses radio contact with both of them. He approaches the house to investigate, seeing only flickering lights inside the house. He regains contact with Bob, but shortly after only hears Wade screaming "Nooooo--!" Mark opens the door and finds Wade dead and Bob still trapped.
** Their second investigation sees the boys attempting to move the ghost to anger by repeating her name over and over. Mark notices an object on the table moving, followed by seeing a ghost child running in the distance. He and Sean follow, only for the two of them to be ambushed and chased. To make matters worse, Bob, who was armed with the crucifix which be believed would stop the ghost, inexplicably loses it, causing Sean's death at the ghost's hands in front of everyone.

* During the second part of his return series to Minecraft, Mark is exploring a mineshaft when the game plays one of its standard ambient sounds, a wailing note similar to the wind blowing through the mineshaft. Mark is taken off guard by it, as he has been with other ambient sounds when they crop up. But, out of playfulness, asks lixian to mess with the audio a couple of ways, speeding it up, changing the pitch, playing it in reverse, anything to just take the wind out of it. Then he offhandedly asks Lixian to play it alongside Siren Head's warning Siren. The two damn near sync. The [[OhCrap face]] Lixian makes shows how jarring it was to find something like that in an otherwise light hearted play session.

** In “The Source Of All My Misery,” Mark becomes so furious he starts shouting uncontrollably. Right before it cuts to the outro, his eyes turn black.

* Who would've thought that Lixian, Mark's editor and fun little animated companion, could dish out some nightmare fuel for us? In recent videos, Lixian has started to riddle in jumpscares and spooks of his own. It eventually culminates in [[https://youtu.be/dQWB0pZrnoE 3 Scary games #46]]. Just looking at the thumbnail should give you an idea of what you're in for. Lixian's avatar appears in flashes and glitches across the screen at random, toting human eyes and [[ScaryTeeth bloody human teeth]]. The video itself is very creepy, with an unsettling atmosphere. The end of the video has Lixian stabbing Mark to death, which, is animated to seem somewhat humorous, can catch people off guard.

* Rage game videos are mostly hilarious to watch, but some games end up making Mark so mad that it can become outright terrifying to watch. Notable examples include his playthrough of ''VideoGame/IAmBread'', Part 5 of his ''VideoGame/BenAndEd'' playthrough and all of ''VideoGame/GettingOverItWithBennettFoddy''. It's in part because of his visceral reactions to rage games that he decided to stop playing them, realizing it was bad for him.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZwoHOBzlrI "I AM THE WORST!!"]] has Markiplier tell the audience a story of his time spent on a movie set while in Austin, Texas. The location they scouted was apparently known to the locals as "[[SpidersAreScary Spider]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Woods]]", which he repeatedly insists wasn't an exaggeration, as he and his film crew soon found out after turning on a single floodlight late at night. The light drew in not only spiders, but also moths, mosquitoes, and whatever other bugs were in the area (oh, and also [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes snakes]]), and later the crew discovered a literal breeding ground of mosquitoes close by. Mark and another [[Website/YouTube YouTuber]] that was there were in short shorts with no bug spray on (due to costume requirements) [[OhCrap came to the slow realization]] that they're probably not getting off the set unscathed. Whether or not one fear bugs and/or snakes, his story will likely at least set off goosebumps.

* During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjyeQt3u72o "3 SCARY GAMES #20"]], Mark's camera ends up dying on him just before the 10-minute mark. He then leaves, telling the audience he hopes [[TemptingFate nothing scary happens]] as [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment "that would be scary"]]. What follows is the audio slowly going silent before the video begins to [[OminousVisualGlitch glitch out]]. Then, the screen goes black as demonic whispering starts up in the background, with demonic faces [[FreezeFrameBonus briefly]] flashing on screen. Finally, just before the video returns to the game, [[EldritchAbomination Darkiplier]] is seen flickering through heavy visual glitches.

This is followed by the lights in the animatronic heads turning back on, the droning sound from [=FNAF=] 2 growing louder before it cuts to a close up of Phantom Marionette with the mechanical laughter from 2 playing in the background.

* Rage game videos are mostly hilarious to watch, but some games end up making Mark so mad that it can become outright terrifying to watch. Notable examples include his playthrough of VideoGame/IAmBread, Part 5 of his VideoGame/BenAndEd playthrough and the entirety of VideoGame/GettingOverItWithBennettFoddy.
* During one of his slow-motion replays in Turbo Dismount, the "Flappy Bird" vehicle he's driving falls apart and the face lands looking toward the camera. It then slowly zooms into the bird's lifeless eyes, while the "ITS ME" hallucination from Five Nights at Freddy's flashes in the background.
* The intro for Part 12 of Mark's VideoGame/YandereSimulator playthrough has him, Tyler, and Ethan acting out a happy anime intro while wearing Sailor Fuku, which would be funny under normal circumstances... except it repeatedly cuts to Mark murdering the other two, with the music and video becoming distorted every time it happens. It doesn't help that Mark was able to effortlessly replicate Yan-chan's infamous twitching.

* His 2017 April Fool's Day video, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1ash8r_wUY a 360 video where he plays Minecraft]], starts off like a normal Let's Play... then the screen suddenly glitches out to a blue screen of death. When the video returns, [[KillerRobot Googleplier]] is there in place of Mark, slowly walking up to the screen and glitching out, before flashing a SlasherSmile to the audience.
